So why are companies willing to pay drastically more in salary on H1B in addition to spending thousands of dollars of relocation costs and legal fees? There's a massive shortage of qualified labor. Over the last three years so many peo

Yeah.... Except that this is not true. There's not enough talent in US, so we have to seek elsewhere. American graduates have these starry eyes and want to work mostly in two types of companies FAANG or early stage startups... Who&#x27

If US government worked for FAANG, you'd have a much more streamlined process... But the fact is, that no one is happy with the immigration process. It's utterly inhumane and expensive.

Why should someone making 700k be any different than an 80k employee? Nurses make way less than 700k and should probably be the absolute top of the list.

GPDR, specifically, expanded the definition of personal data. If you work in a B2C publicly accessible sector, I can assure you - you store more PII than you'd like to believe.

Why do you presume that these regulations are inherently good? I completely disagree on that premise and will not accept that statement as a forgone conclusion. They used to not build profiles... and we had the most awful ads served... and

You realize that it wasn't the ads that convinced people to consume sugary cereals, right? Ads are there to promote a brand, not a food group. Your local store or General Mills will sell you what you want, at a price that you are comfo

You're missing an important point in your example - the reason why high sugar cereals were so successful was because of government interventions (buying up grain supplies, unreasonably propping up certain crops, etc) The utter failures

But they don't. These behavioral profiles are literally the core product of Facebook. If you think that Facebook is willing to part with the sole thing that makes them competitive... is crazy.

They're not your websites. If you wish, we should make it way more clear about it. But telling a small newspaper to stop using ads for revenue, when you aren't willing to financially support them is... hypocritical. In short - jus
