I have a GC and left a few months ago to Canada. Is it too late to get a reentry permit? I don't know if I want to return but having the option for 5 years would be nice.

ty!


You can only apply for a reentry permit while in the U.S. so if you wanted to get one, you would need to return to the U.S. and apply and then wait to be fingerprinted or depart and return to be fingerprinted. You then can remain outside while your reentry permit application is pending.


This is blog spam. He even quotes himself. Please flag this blog spam.


"Get featured by apple/google"

Honestly, its like giving financial advice and saying "Ok, win the lottery or marry someone rich"


It's not really like winning the lottery. There's a lot of different kinds of promotional features they can give you, with different levels of publicity. You just have to make a high quality app that does something useful or new (or a good game), and ask their editorial team if they can promote your app. They'll usually give you some kind of promotion on the store.

It's "editor's choice" and the other front/center features that you might equate to "winning the lottery". And yeah, you can't expect that unless you've already made something huge.


and how do you actually contact the editorial team?


If you look around there are ways to reach them. The author of A Dark Room made a thorough post on this on Reddit but he’s since taken it down; maybe there’s an archive.


go to local Mac/iOS dev meetups and ask around. they also show up at conferences and of course at WWDC.


It’s not a lottery. I’ve done it several times over many years with different products and companies. The advice I laid out is basically how I did that.

Of course you can’t control if you are featured or not just like you can’t control if you get a writeup in a big publication. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give yourself the best chance of getting it.


It would be great, if you can write a dedicated post on it. Im interested to learn more tips. Thanks


Except the author gave 4 or 5 great tips on how to achieve the goal of getting featured.


How does one start this process? I work at a YC company fwiw on a TN visa.


I would have an attorney evaluate your background - through review of a resume and a follow-up call - to see what you might qualify for.


How many fraction of a cent.


I am also in a electric chair. Flying is a terrifying process. My cringe seeing the luggage folks carrying the chair onto the conveyor belt.

The worst part is that its not even bad that the chair breaks, its bad that at the destination your stuck immobile with a 300 pound device.

I rarely travel for this reason. The other is that a attendant/family member is required to come or your not allowed on the flight. I accept this but it still sucks.


Do you do some type of machine learning or actually manually process calls and offer feedback? Is each agent call transcribed?


The current process on most sales teams is managers listening to 2 or 3 call recordings per rep per week (out of hundreds) and basing feedback on that, so having data across dozens and hundreds of calls is a huge win for them. We can transcribe every agent call, but typically don't have to. It's a combination of both ML and human QA'ing when necessary.


Just an interesting note, his son was Daniel Pearl, who was tragically murdered in Pakistan.

I enjoyed Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent systems. I was unaware of Causality.


Probably not a misprint. They could be big enterprise customers.


We don't work with startups :).


I presume you mean "we don't currently work with startups". This is more of a financial issue than an ideological, enterprise only issue, right?

I'm assuming if Grail (http://www.grailbio.com/) who launched in 2016 with $100,000,000 in funding were knocking at your door you would be more than happy to work with them?


Right. Startups typically use python/ruby or commodity hadoop clusters on EMR. It's not an audience match and they don't have a budget anyways.

For anyone else we have a very active open source community: https://gitter.im/deeplearning4j/deeplearning4j

I interviewed onsite at bridgewater and it was a very strange but interesting experience.

They take radical transparency very seriously. They record everything, but do ask your permission first(well... can I say no?)

The people were nice. They are brutally honest and let me know what I was lacking.

Watching videos including the crying manager were too much for me.

It doesn't surprise me that fucked up HR situations occur.

The one fun event was watching the receptionist applying radical transparency(assholeism) to a delivery guy. They take it seriously!


It sounds like you didn't take the job (or maybe you weren't offered) but certainly you can say no!
