I don't have a house; however my brief experience from what I have seen is that the HOA is overwhelmingly favored. Unlike an Internet forum, not reading the TOS doesn't actually work as an excuse. Even for tearjerker issues involv

No. It is opinion at best. _You_ think his videos are boring; I find them engaging but not precise enough.

So explain this to me like I am 12: If the law made it legal to discriminate based on race (as must have existed when you were a kid), would you be okay with aforesaid discrimination?

I am being harsh because money is a false signal that doesn't serve both sides of the debate. I am against the H1B as it stands now because it is exploitative, indentured labor. How does it matter if I get paid 10% more or 10% less whe

Is that all you have to say? You have made the same damn comment in three different locations on this thread!

I may not agree with the guy but I am impressed by him. He had the balls to go on stage in front of a crowd of people who could be aggressive, and presented his case. Not sure how well it was, since I wasn't there. However, that takes

I actually upvoted the comment because this statement comes up again and again. Eventually reasonable arguments float up to the top. My hope is that the responses to the drive-by-attack are read so that people understand how the system work

Unfortunately, we live in a world where discrimination against someone who doesn't hold the right passport is legitimate. Replacing the word 'citizen' in your statement with 'white', 'straight' or 'me

1. H1B salaries are supposed to be competitive and typically posted in your workplace. So you can figure out if you are being undercut by the dirty immigrant coming in. 2. A huge percentage of H1B engineers you will probably interact with w

An H1B is transferable to a different company. It is not that hard to do. Of course, if OP was applying for a new H1B, it gets harder.

My last name has a space in it. The three years that I have filed paper taxes, IRS has split up my last name into two words and put one of them as my middle name. This despite the fact that I clearly label the middle name box as "n&#x2

I am not clear how there is a causal link between the two. Are you saying that legal weed/shrooms causes crime to go down? Or are you merely pointing a correlation?

Hahaha, I really enjoyed that. Do you just post rants in the middle of the night or do you blog? If so, please share.

It depends; I personally haven't used neural networks since graduating. Standard machine learning algorithms get used. I work with large data sets all the time. Sometimes correlations, regression things. The point is that 95% of the st

I dunno. I personally like writing on vim or on paper. However, there is a reason I feel more expressive. It is the very nature of these specific tools. I really like vim as much as I really like writing on moleskine. So I understand when p

I am not clear what your point is. Are you saying that it is a normal human instinct to broadcast all your shit to the world? Just because a few people think that cultural consumption should work like that, doesn't mean that everyone d
