OP didn't state their exact country, but E-2 visa may be applicable. It's not just for investors/business starters. Companies that are privately owned by people from E-2 countries can transfer/hire citizens from other E-

No. But also very much yes, if you're talking about the economy as a whole. Transport is massively profitable for the economy but not for the transport companies themselves, they simply can't capture enough of the value generated

They never specified H1B. They were probably on a treaty visa, Like E2 (which i have, it's not just for business owners/investors, employees can get this too) or T2 (The NAFTA equivalent). These visas allow you to live and work in

In as much as anyone has to respect the copyright coming from any jurisdiction they are not in. Which for the most of the world generally means that, yes, you do have to respect it. It being the UK and your historical reasoning isn't v

I don't think so. I think Covid was unique in that it occupied a sweet-spot in it's severity. A more severe virus would play out very differently. I don't think we'd see such a huge conspiracy movement around it and much

If the company supplies the hardware and software as a bundled unit, they are much more able to arbitrarily restrict and wall-in the device. It's just how the law works. This is how Apple seems to get away with a lot of super anti-comp

I'm so conflicted about this move. On one hand you've got a generation that is being held back by these loans. The very people that are supposed to be starting businesses/building up capital/starting families and whom ar

It looks like with a series of changes they were able to mitigate the issue almost completely, but it's still there and the motherboard is obviously deficient in some way. They mentioned they put the ram in 2 years ago and they'

While you may prefer it when people pull their masks down to talk to you. I would bet there's going to be another lipreader who would be aghast if i were to pull my mask down to talk to them. I'd need to establish you were okay wi

It's been an ongoing story ramping up since May, but this I believe is the main story with all the research they did. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58255865

Doubt it. This IMO is probably the best PR maneuver ever conceived. I doubt they ever planned to do it. The BBC was just about to release a long-researched exposé about all the moderation issues they have and how child porn and abuse were g

So i don't necessarily like OnlyFans and I think it's a dangerous game to play for contributors. That said, why are payment processors deciding which businesses get to exist? I understand that the fraud rate is higher than normal,

Important addition I'd like to add here is that you almost certainly won't owe any US tax. You just need to file the return. AFAIK You get a crazy high deduction and can also deduct all your local taxes, so it's almost always

> Given that the vast majority breakups are initiated by women I suspect what the poster meant to write was that most divorces are initiated by women. Which is a different statistic but still somewhat relevant. It's actually true, i

I'm not referring the technology itself. That's actually quite useful with real-world applications that may be worth investing in. The ticketing use case and also Gamestop's rumored use of NFT for reselling digital game licen

I recently heard someone say "I'm not stupid enough to make money in this market", and I think it rings very true. With the short squeeze speculation on stocks, the crypto run+crash and NFT's. The market is a very confus

So I'm also European, but we are absolutely not an example to follow here. Our retirements are absolutely in danger, we just haven't collectively realized it yet. I wouldn't be surprised if we fare worse than the US due to ot

It all comes down to the fact that women in general don't see small/absent pockets as much of a factor when buying pants, while men typically do. Those pockets cost money to put in and in the razor thin margin clothing industry th

Ugh. This is really shallow analysis. * Solar is the only form of renewable energy where this is a potential problem and there are already solutions that actually exist. Solar farms can also be vertical (look up 3D solar farms) or even on w

Something does have to give. Why you think it should be the students is a total mystery to me though. The university is irresponsibly forcing the students to come on campus to study (a health risk) so they have to pay rent and is desperatel

Does this tax work actually work? Surely the amount of people who actually pay the tax is near 0 and they'd get far more tax revenue from a lower tax rate right? I'd actually bet that this tax in particular not only doesn't r

From what I've read, in the case of commercial lets there's a good reason for this. The companies that manage these properties acquire/refinance loans based on the value of their assets and the value of their assets is mostl

Improving performance after the fact is a lot harder than you might think, depending on the nature of your application and it's users behavior, it can be a very steep uphill struggle to realise even small gains. Here's an issue I
