US immigration is on par (or worse than) third world countries. Having been in it for 10 years now, I highly recommend people to consider doing business in some other country. At the end, there is only so much time left in life. Do you want

These are really small neighborhood businesses. I remember walking down the streets and there were some local sweet shops with delicious street food. They used to sell it for Rs 5 (less than 10 cents) at the time. Add some inflation, air co

There are plenty of small businesses in India going through productivity transitions and becoming bigger exporters. Air conditioning has been the easiest gain in the last 2 decades. More recently it is mobile payments and computerized inven

I know a lot of Americans think that most H-1B are cheap labor or incompetent engineers. There is some truth to it but hear the other side out. The way H-1B is implemented, it does not distinguish a person with PhDin Computer Science from S

You fail to realize how much those neighboring countries will bow to have access to Chinese markets.

But those currencies devalue a lot, devalue often. You are making wealth by storing USD cash. Maybe GBP not so much after brexit.

I think this a great opportunity for someone to make a real time "consequences" website. Whatever the candidate says, fact check it and display a few important impacts to people directly. Economic is the easiest. Another good one

What is paradoxical is that American voters keep voting to reduce taxes for the rich, who don't do anything with that saved money to increase businesses. Taxes should be lower for the poor who would thus spend more and keep the economi

Basically, only aggressive consumption of limited resources allows society to be worried about something higher in Maslow's pyramid. Extinction of those resources will set us back to fight for scraps.

While I would love to work with person B, would I completely eliminate person A? Hell no! In fact, there's a good chance that Person A is good at something that Person B doesn't even know. Why should the knowledge of what Person B

There has been a noticeable difference in the quality in top universities in the US. No really top student from anywhere really wants to navigate the nonsense that US immigration is. The only people who are coming in are reasonably well off

I agree. Most of software engineering has turned into resume driven development, and engineers can only keep up at it for some time. Kubernetes did not have to be so complicated. Docker swarm just proved it. If it takes 10 engineers to real

Reminds me of why some devs will not touch critical pieces of code because the next time a bug comes in that module, git log shows they were last editors and will be asked to take a look (even if the bug is unrelated to them)

This. You can be a gold standard human who invented a distributed database. But at a large company, you're not going to be hired if you can't solve some string subsequence problem.
