Actually, there is a legal requirement like that. Businesses that hire h1b visa recipients must file an LCA with the USDOL, that essentially states it has looked and cannot find an equally qualified US Citizen for the position that is seeki

Such ridiculousness in posts like these. You want to stop climate change? That effort needs to include China and India, which between the two, are good for much of climate changing exhausts. You want truly renewable energy, with high yields

So far seems to be a data mining effort. I create an account and then I'm whisked away to a form that want's my information to build a profile. At this point, I have no idea what the service will specifically do for me, other than

At a certain point, at the very highest levels of 'work', work becomes more of a game when you don't need to worry about making the mortgage payment or the kids' college tuition bill. This is very true for CEOs, hedgies

Not what I hear. My sister-in-law is an RN at an assisted living facility and she's dealt with people in the very last stages of life. Sadly, many wish they actually worked less and spent more time with loved-ones and friends. Anecdota

I think you're missing the point. Trading and Sales used to be people intensive, in today's parlance, 'high touch.' You had people talking deals on the phone, you had transactions sent to the exchange where a floor trade

Guess you're not from NYC based on your post. So Brooklyn is the highest price real estate these days, with many apartments, brownstones and lofts renting for many 000s per month. Harlem has gone through a renaissance, with townhouses

Sure there were high-touch traders, they were still employed up to and around 2017-2018. Since the early 201x's bonuses have been pared to fractions of what they were and each month, every bulge bracket bank lets some formerly well-pai

Actually, the problem is not of the human masters' understanding, it's the ignorance of the human master. Some models are so involved, no one knows how they'll behave under certain market conditions, as we saw in the perfect

Having worked on an Equity Derivatives desk for a time, I can tell you much of the exchanges' trade volume--as early as 1990--was from DOT (program trading) and super-DOT executions. Monthly volume leaders included Susquehanna Partners

A CS degree, especially at the undergraduate level, is mostly conceptual. It takes much experience to develop the intuition necessary to solve complex problems faced on the job.

Given much of the economic growth is in tech and tech tends to concentrate in urban centers, urban centers tend to be blue. Can this be much of a surprise? The Administration's self-promoted gains in manufacturing and mining are impair

You see it on Instagram all the time... charlatans hawking 'trading systems' on equities, options, fx, etc. They're targeting people who want to 'take control of their lives.' Trading is like professional sports: on

Unfortunately, you have just described the stereotypical American engineer and the main reason why managers here from other countries, such as India and China, will rarely hire an American for a domestic position. I can tell you, first hand

Ah yes, good 'ol SLC. Great quality of life if you like skiing and hiking. Your salary numbers are about right, top of the scale tends to be around $80-100k with the median in the high $70s. They call it 'Silicon Mountain' an

Agreed, the spirit of Apple under Mr. Cook is vastly different then when his predecessor was directing--no, recreating--the company. Part of it, I realize, the innovation curve tends to flatten over time. If you can't make your numbers

The Supermicro 2U I used for a home server, sounded like a jet engine on take-off out of the box. But you'll find fan settings in the bios to experiment with and as long as the server's temps can handle it, you can slow the fans t

Remember mod_perl? is it still supported? Built a large ecommerce site in 2002 using embperl+mod_perl. Unfortunately, it was time for a re-write in 2017 and a new platform had to be selected since support is virtually non-existent.

It sounds as though the compiled binaries optimize the compute portion, which the interpreted php code was taking 10 secs to run. It's still likely running as a cgi process, that is as a fork/exec in a separate address space. If y

I thought most equipment rental places do this. Also, clearly this is a high-fraud risk business line, why aren't there safeguards in the credit approval process? It's not hard to do these days.

It all depends on who the arbitrator is. Many arbitration clauses are there because the business has relationships with arbitration organizations. If the arbitrator is an impartial third party, it will be much less costly than going to cou

I did. I walked into the hiring manager's office and he barely looked up while asking me to decode the complex declaration on the white board that wrapped twice. My departing words were along the lines of: if you and your team write co

Modern aviation is characterized by huge networks of sensors as most flight management systems are, in fact, compute driven and, since they are real time, higher compute power reduces latency. Clearly, this version of the Boeing 737 was pro
