I would expect glass to have cost a multiple of that $100, with negative or no margin.

Comparing yearly wage with market cap makes no sense. You should be looking at gross profit / year.

Have you looked into copper-based IUD? No hormones, yet very effective. We've been relying on one for 3 years, and would highly recommend it.

Pay isn't everything though. Consider the case of immigrants who may need to be continuously employed to remain in the united states, or the more common case of people who depend on their employer for health insurance coverage.

Are you saying startups could not compete without "cheap" H1B labor?! The H1B is explicitly not supposed to bring in cheaper labor.

You're right, the public timeline API does require hitting our servers. However, the calendar pins we push from our mobile apps do not use that public API and thus do not - as far as I know - hit the cloud.

Pebble engineer here. You can absolutely disable data upload and continue using pebble health. The support team will guide you though it. In the future, we hope to make the settings options to do so more explicit. The only feature that cur

Your guess is wrong. It's DRAM plain and simple.

I second that. We've had some issues with gcc's inline assembly support. To make matters worse the list of things that it does and doesn't support is very fuzzy.

A much cleaner, GPL-ed implementation is provided here: https://github.com/WebDrake/GrSL/blob/master/sampling/vitter... (I personally find Kevin's code very hard to follow)

Whether 65,000 is the right number or not isn't the important bit. While it may seem unpalatable on its face, granting the visa to the candidates with the highest paying offer is the simplest, least prone to abuse way I can think of to

In your sad, twisted world, only the lawyers win. Rental agreements have already ballooned into legal tomes no first-time lessee could ever understand. If they now have to spell out penalty for a variety of different breaches, they will bec

This is exactly the right idea. 1. It makes H1B sweat-shops unfeasible 2. It motivates employers to train American workers whenever possible 3. It makes it significantly more likely that the visa will go to the most in-demand skills than th

I think because every LTE band you want to support requires its own front end with its own power management. The iPhone 6s is as close to a universal SKU as you get with LTE so they pack lots of those.
