In applying for O1/EB1, does rejection hurt future applications?


this is a great reply that deserved more


wait what are the five bad things in baking bread?


Too much or too little energy when baking (burned or raw in the middle), too much or little water (hydration), too much or too little rise time (loaf density). Just off the top of my head.


Adding incompatible ingredients (like honey) that mess with the yeast culture or kill it. "Peeking" at you loaf during bake too often or for too long. If you use a home bread machine, layering the ingredients incorrectly so that different things start too soon.

An important exception to "Always PEEK before you POKE.", because peeking can change the value of what you eventually slice.

. o O ( Almost wrote ".slice". And I'm sure there's a tortured Heartbleed/Spectre/Meltdown analogy in this loaf somewhere… )


how do missive and front compare to each other? Do you find one superior?


We choose Missive for now because Missive feels like a proper snappy desktop app and is vastly cheaper ($15 vs $50 per user). Front feels like a bloated website wrapped in Electron.

But, Missive is full of design flaws. They seem to add feature after feature without taking the relation between different features into account, nor do they seem to have a UX designer on the team. The Snooze shortcut for example opens a different snooze selector in a private email compared to a team email. The list of quirks goes on.

I fear that we will eventually switch to Front because Missive is unintuitive or (please someone build that) Gmail with collaboration features.

"malaphor" is a wonderful word, thanks for that. :)

Author here!

Yes, totally right. There was a bunch i wanted to write about Adobe. Both XD and the current moves they've made with CC etc. But had to cut because too much--so hopefully will have an essay entirely on Adobe coming at some point


This is really fantastic reply and context. Thanks for posting this!

When you see research like this, assuming all things trend positive (big if of course) what is the timeframe one expects to see it make its way to mainstream application?


If the outcomes are as great as they look, I think one could expect "mainstream adoption" (specialized centers and unfrequent indications) in 2-3 years ? This is a hard guess!


Can't reveal product without their permission.

But know of 1 person company that generates $500k revenue per year and gets its customers via SEO.


That's a lot of revenue! What's the cost structure? That can make all the difference in the world.
