I used to work for a sports betting company. These people definitely exist. They are few though because they are the ones who understand that the sport/game/match/whatever is irrelevant. They bet the "odd line".

They barely did anything. They could have done something great. They could have ended the program all together, they could have put a serious cap on it, they could have made the $100k fee a yearly fee, etc But no, they did virtually nothi

My question was rhetorical. Renewals shouldn't be treated differently from new applications in spirit. The H1B worker is meant to temporarily fill a gap. If there is available US talent, the H1B worker should leave and be replaced by

I don't think "American workers" are the target demographic of the Democratic Party though. And yes, the next round will be "worse than Trump". The reality is Trump ran on certain principles that his voters adhered

A law only has value if it can be enforced. Who's going to enforce this international law exactly?

That's a silly comment. A simple search would show you that commenters often highlight that H1B are used to "chain" temporary workers to their job. And in past years, many called for changes to allow H1B workers to change j

Absolutely not. The current administration had a chance to do something really radical and they just completely fumbled it. They won't reopen this file.

You don't know what you are talking about. I-140 is not for H1B. It is very easy to fulfill the "muh we tried to hire! Nobody wants to work!" fake criteria to be able to apply for an H1B.

What is the difference with new visa applications? H1B are supposed to be temporary when a company can't find employees in the country. Renewals are not meant to be automatic.

This comment left me speechless... There are just a bit over 3000 billionaires in the world, 900 in the USA. If $3B isn't "unfathomable wealth" I don't know what is.

Having the same experience. My kids enjoy getting new sets, but most of them are quickly customized or just destroyed to build something completely new. Terrible take in the parent.

Lego were always expensive toys. Yes they are aggressively targeting "grown ups" with many sets, but they also have very playable sets. I don't see any problem with having different offerings. There are enough sets for every

I never hire any former Amazon or Facebook. I've worked with some when I was an IC, I even hired a few before I knew better. Never had a positive experience.

Even for not so small kids. With my 7 and 9 yo we do one ~30/40min session during the weekend, and a family movie on the 1st weekend of the month. No TV or screen time outside of these. I can't imagine having a 3yo watching TV 1

You're talking about how it was to be in tech as opposed to using the tech - what the parent meant I think. From the consumer's point of view, the parent is completely right. In the 90s/early 00s there was a real feeling

Same. I have a dedicated gaming machine with windows 10 where I do nothing except games. Still trying to delay the upgrade to 11 as long as I can though.

It is undeniable that high performing athletes, artists, etc put in a lot of work, but I don't think it is incompatible with the word "gifted". When you enter college at 12 it is beyond a "slight genetic advantage"

Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but saying that changing stack would lower you from staff to middle engineer is idiotic. A staff engineer is meant to be more removed from the code than an intermediate engineer, they're supposed to brin
