I personally think England(best America) produces better tea than the USA(worst America). Does it mean the USA is inferior in general?


I don't quite believe that the post you are replying to actually meant that quite as literally as you are taking it.


May I ask why can't a person on F1/H1B own a LLC 100%?


Owning the company that is extending you the job offer you need for the visa is grounds for cancelling your visa—it's not guaranteed but if DHS find out in the future (like if you petition/apply for greencard) they'll bounce you.

Basically, do it if you're comfortable (maybe) being asked to leave the country on short notice.


Just my 2 cents. The carousel presentation for both smart watches are really disappointing.


I really doubt this is just a weekend project. I am sorry but titles like this has been getting on my nerves.


You're right. Weekends project would be a better title.

We built an end to end proof of concept our first weekend on it, then spent another Sunday polishing it as well as a few hours here and there a couple of evenings.


Yeah.. I have a 'weekend project' that i've been working on for... almost a year now. And mostly not even weekends.


Thanks! Did you find anything unpleasant? Anything that I could work on?


It would be nice if the email could be modified, but that's just a small thing. Or a custom message.

What language did you use, if you don't mind my asking?


I am sorry but what do you mean by modified email? I used sinatra(http://www.sinatrarb.com/) to build the web service and ruby for back-end. It is hosted on heroku. :)


I am sorry I am pretty new to rails. What's bad about using Webrick? I thought it is the default.


It's POST.


Ah yeah, you do a redirect with the ?message param.

Why not store this in a session?


I totally should. Didn't give it much thought when I made it.


Thank you :)


I am sorry, I think your apps are really shitty.


Good job for the work. But seriously, I don't think you even have a MVP yet. If the purpose of this site is to correct people's accent, having a generate voice(huge electronic accent) is not acceptable at all.


You are right, robotic accents is not helpful (but hilarious though).

This app is mainly aimed at fixing the incorrect pronunciation of words, rather than the accent. If I ever get to add real human voices, then it will be even better.


You might be able to use mechanical turk to get some cheap proper readings of text ;)
