Sure, you can do everything a human can, but it also seems VERY inefficient

As an alternative, maybe you could just do network in/out?

Naming companies is hard. At Monzo we had to change the original name after an annoying trademark dispute.

So we launched a fun little side project that sells cheap .com domains that would make good startup names.

They are unique, short, easy to say and don't mean anything, so you can fill them with meaning - just like Google or Twilio did.

I hope it's useful!

My understanding was that this is very hard to do reliably without dreambooth style fine tuning, which is expensive and slow

we owe a lot to dmitri, stevie and that meetup

my email address is first name at monzo.com if you're looking for a place to host it

I've had one brief interaction with Gary a long time ago, and he's been a role model ever since

I had a difference in opinion with my cofounder and wanted to leave the startup we'd founded, even if it meant leaving the YC program (which I adored), and would likely lose my visa to stay in the US. Seeing how distressed I was, Gary took me aside somehow simultaneously made me feel heard, but also told me that it's up to me to come back stronger from this moment.

It made all the difference to me, and I've thought back to that moment many times in the years to come.

There's an interview with Max Levchin somewhere in which he says that he watched some TV show over and over and repeated everything that was said in order to rebrand himself as a midwesterner after he moved to the US. His English is really good, too.

Putting your laptop on a bunch of boxes puts a lot of strain on your arms. Of course this also doesn't work if you have a big display on your desk.

I'd be interested in hacking a standing desk that is

1) ergonomic

2) offers support for both laptops and big displays

3) has a usable keyboard drawer for both standing and sitting position

If all else fails we'll just make a living selling desks like that. (and no, geekdesk does not meet all requirements)

Now that I need to find a legit job allowing me to stay in the U.S., I'm afraid that I will not be able to work on my own projects as much anymore. In Germany I used to work as a freelance consultant. Is it possible to get a Visa doing freelance work? Or part-time work?

Another question is what kind of Visa I can get? Apparently regular H1-B working Visas are handed out only in April, so I'm out of luck. Is it easier to get internship Visas?

The next-best thing to working on my own projects would be to work for an early stage startup (the earlier, the better). Is it even possible/economical/easy for a small startup to acquire a working Visa for me?

I should talk to a lawyer but I figured that HN is more likely to provide me with the "dirty" tricks of immigration ;)

IIRC Microsoft even tried to patent this. The article's claim that only one company is working "as the middleman between advertisers and webmasters in order to display CAPTCHA ads" seems slightly exaggerated ;)
