stealth startup is

http://gengwg.blogspot.com/
A stealth startup is a startup company that operates in stealth mode, i.e. that avoids public attention. This may be done to hide information from competitors, or — as part of a marketing strategy — to manage public image. The phenomenon is well known in the venture capital (VC) community. Normally a company would only operate in stealth mode for the first couple of years.[1]

Advantages

  • Protect ideas/intellectual properties:[2] If the startup is working on a revolutionary product that would be easy to replicate - especially software ideas or relatively cheap new technology - 'going stealth' will avoid any details about the idea being brought in public and it being copied by another company. Usually employees will have to sign an NDA with the company.
  • Less pressure from public: With only a close group of people working the product, the team can focus on getting everything working in the way they have in mind.

Disadvantages

  • Harder to build trust with potential investors and advisors: Without any news articles or public demos the startup will have to put more effort into convincing potential investors and advisors that the idea is being developed seriously already.
  • Finding new employees is more difficult: Without any track record in media and no ability to explain the candidates what they will be working on exactly, finding people willing to work for the company can be a challenge.[1]
  • Harder to do (public) testing: Getting the product tested will have to be done under a different name, or with a small group having signed an NDA.

CKA Simulator Kubernetes 1.22

  https://killer.sh Pre Setup Once you've gained access to your terminal it might be wise to spend ~1 minute to setup your environment. You could set these: alias k = kubectl                         # will already be pre-configured export do = "--dry-run=client -o yaml"     # k get pod x $do export now = "--force --grace-period 0"   # k delete pod x $now Vim To make vim use 2 spaces for a tab edit ~/.vimrc to contain: set tabstop=2 set expandtab set shiftwidth=2 More setup suggestions are in the tips section .     Question 1 | Contexts Task weight: 1%   You have access to multiple clusters from your main terminal through kubectl contexts. Write all those context names into /opt/course/1/contexts . Next write a command to display the current context into /opt/course/1/context_default_kubectl.sh , the command should use kubectl . Finally write a second command doing the same thing into /opt/course/1/context_default_no_kubectl.sh , but without the use of k

标 题: 关于Daniel Guo 律师

发信人: q123452017 (水天一色), 信区: I140 标  题: 关于Daniel Guo 律师 关键字: Daniel Guo 发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Apr 26 02:11:35 2018, 美东) 这些是lz根据亲身经历在 Immigration版上发的帖以及一些关于Daniel Guo 律师的回 帖，希望大家不要被一些马甲帖广告帖所骗，慎重考虑选择律师。 WG 和Guo两家律师对比 1. fully refund的合约上的区别 wegreened家是case不过只要第二次没有file就可以fully refund。郭家是要两次case 没过才给refund，而且只要第二次pl draft好律师就可以不退任何律师费。 2. 回信速度 wegreened家一般24小时内回信。郭律师是在可以快速回复的时候才回复很快，对于需 要时间回复或者是不愿意给出确切答复的时候就回复的比较慢。 比如：lz问过郭律师他们律所在nsc区域最近eb1a的通过率，大家也知道nsc现在杀手如 云，但是郭律师过了两天只回复说让秘书update最近的case然后去网页上查，但是上面 并没有写明tsc还是nsc。 lz还问过郭律师关于准备ps （他要求的文件）的一些问题，模版上有的东西不是很清 楚，但是他一般就是把模版上的东西再copy一遍发过来。 3. 材料区别 （推荐信） 因为我只收到郭律师写的推荐信，所以可以比下两家推荐信 wegreened家推荐信写的比较长，而且每封推荐信会用不同的语气和风格，会包含lz写 的research summary里面的某个方面 郭家四封推荐信都是一个格式，一种语气，连地址，信的称呼都是一样的，怎么看四封 推荐信都是同一个人写出来的。套路基本都是第一段目的，第二段介绍推荐人，第三段 某篇或几篇文章的abstract，最后结论 4. 前期材料准备 wegreened家要按照他们的模版准备一个十几页的research summary。 郭律师在签约之前说的是只需要准备五页左右的summary，但是在lz签完约收到推荐信 ，郭律师又发来一个很长的ps要lz自己填，而且和pl的格式基本差不多。 总结下来，申请自己上心最重要。但是如果选律师，lz更倾向于wegreened，
