That means that the US is betting it's future on people already in the US. Surely they need to continue to attract the best people from all over the world?

this is pretty neat, from a designers point of view here are some things I'd suggest: - something like a photoshop navigator where you see your zoom level vs your current canvas. Currently it's quite easy to zoom out a lose your stuff. - a

I wonder how many of the participants were able to go back and insert a link without any problems after they were told what the chain icon does? Icons are really useful once you learn how to use a particular interface. It's ok not to get it

I agree. If a company has posted a job listing, they are expecting me to take time in preparing a relevant and thoughtful application to them (rather than some generic recycled crap that goes to everyone). In that case please have the decen

(Talking specifically the high-tech sector) The US should be making it easier for skilled workers to get jobs in the US generally because some of them will go on to start their own businesses anyway. Why wait until they decide to become "en

I've recently had some experience with this and it seems only about 60k h1b visas are available each year (year starts in September). http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f... If you want to see a count down for the

ok, you convinced me to try. Here is my coffee table + desk hack (pic) https://plus.google.com/109940267018696224506/posts/B144cQj7... hope I don't find myself buying a new mac due to the whole thing collapsing! Still, at least I'll have

And if you do, you should take as many precautions as possible. Airbnb handled this badly, but in truth it can just as easily happen to anyone renting out a property. I don't understand why Airbnb aren't as rigorous as regular rental compan

I've heard there's a shortage too but I doubt it by the way big companies are acting. I think that just about the only thing they are short of is recruiters! I've contacted a whole bunch of companies (the usual) and not heard back either wa

It's not just contrast that makes text legible or not, there are many other factors: - Width of the text area - Line spacing - Font-size - Correct use of headings, paragraphs, emphasis etc ... Actually low contrast is a great tool to have.

Reality check: the portion of the process these emails cover are not going to make or break a deal. What would be more useful is detail on "During the fundraising process, I met a ton of investors both through soft introductions, straight o

isn't the entire screen of a smart phone a capacitive button? It's pretty hard to accidentally dial my ex or launch the "fart noise" app in a meeting on it so why not link the "capacitive" buttons to the same software unlock as the device a

Why does FB always have to be opt-out. what I actually feared was being tagged in any photo - even not taken by my friends. Although it would be cool to find photos of myself by other people to try an piece my various evenings out back toge

I see, so you prefer a designer who is also a programmer. Why not get one of your programmers to do the front end programming rather than a designer?

I work from home and have a 6 month old daughter. My wife looks after her full time though. I had to convert our garage so that I could lock myself away and actually do some work. If you're planning on working and looking after your child i

so you're helping developers find designers? I'd make it a priority to find one for your site first - even do a before/after. You need to use your service on yourself first before you can expect anyone else to buy into it. Although I like t
