Bot these companies are heavily funded and are not currently operating 100% based on their own revenue. Once these companies go public, you'll know the real impact of these companies. Until now, they have been good with providing emplo

This is the same kind of sensitization one needs to live in San Francisco. I lived in SF for a few weeks. The barrier I developed in India was no use.

again, democracy is how elections are held, how elected officials work, and how the transfer of power occurs without problems, how legislations are passed, how rules and regulations are created/maintained/updated/destroyed. D

Democracy, is not about any of these issues you are pointing at. India may have a long way to go in aspects you have mentioned, but the way the Indian democracy works, it has enough checks and balances to make it work as intended, which IMO

I believe this is the first time VVPATs are being deployed all over, in addition to EVMs. If this cannot be considered secure enough (even if you assume EVMs were hacked, VVPATs negate any effects of cheating).

Are you sure you are not conflating the meaning of the word "democracy" to different issues, including quality of life, climate, infrastructure etc? There's no way you can evaluate how good/bad democracy is in any countr

Looks like a tactic orchestrated by parents-cops to scare other kids from playing PUBG, because: Exams (:rolling_eyes:) Will certainly backfire (more kids will get onto it). Highly clickbait news item for Indian/International media to

10% is too much. Why not 5%? Actually, why not just ban applicants who are born in China and India? </sarcasm>

Isn't that the argument the Trump administration is using? that it's possible for terrorists to sneak in along with the caravan?

Nope. I got it through Express Entry under the Federal Skilled Worker stream. You get points based on Education, Experience, Age, English/French proficiency etc. The first day I landed in Canada, I became a Permanent Resident. The requ

A person who is a citizen or a green card holder in the US, compared to a H-1b bonded (tech) laborer, has way too much rights and way little incentive to slog for an employer that is paying peanuts. It’s very easy for a manager to get more

Curious: So, if for some reason, there are journalists that are creating content for groups/regimes that are anti-America (lets say ISIS, Assad, Ahmedinajad or Jong Un), would that journalist never been seen with any kind of suspicion

Based on what I see, it looks like the US Govt is keeping tabs on those persons (journalists) who are sympathetic to the cause of of a group of people (the caravans) intending to breach the country border. How is this intimidation? Isn&#x27

I prefer they don't. It generalizes the people/region way too much, and selectively. Good/Positive stories refer to the region in a generalized way, while the negative ones can get really specific, even though it is prevalent

This certainly is true, even for me :) I'm using a culture that was brought into the US even before I was born! Best way to sustain the culture especially during long trips, is to have friends / family nearby who will do the needf

I worked on an app for a few years (in the earlier part of this decade), and we redesigned the heck out of the app, moving from tabbar based design to hamburger menu. Literally everyone in the company were super happy about how the app look

Not opposed to that idea either (I have a MS degree :). But my guess is that the number of non-US bachelors students is negligible compared to the number of MS/PhD students. I dont have the data, but either way, it'll help US hold

True. I'm not mad with US immigration issues either. It's more like I feel sad for the country, which has such potential, and they are missing out on having high skilled immigrants live and pay taxes in the US. Since I'm fed

as an immigrant who got an MS degree in US and worked on H1b visa, what you say is quite a simplification of what it takes to move to a different country, get a master's degree and survive long enough to get a H1b visa. A tiny chunk of

As an immigrant from India, who worked in the US on H1B, I welcome this change, because this increases the chances of weeding out the bad apples and increases the chances for the good ones to get an H1b visa. This at least encourages genuin

IIRC, Lyft was the first mover, Uber shamelessly ripped off Lyft's model that anyone can be a driver and come out with Uber X. So, imo Lyft was the first mover, but was smart to let Uber face all the heat sacrificing short term growth
