The Indians outside of India are most probably not tourists. India is yet to gain Chinese level wealth. Unfortunately a trip to India would tarnish your image of us. It's a crowded third world country with third world facilities.

Unless Musk gives away much of his wealth in his lifetime, he could very well be the world's first trillionaire. Think of Toyota and Exxon Mobil rolled into one with virtually no competition in sight. To put things in perspective, this

This is the car version iphone, with people queuing up at the store days before the product is seen. I would believe they would stop production exactly at 400K cars, the current waiting list and start a new Model 4 waiting list. They have a

Many of the people who are against H1B are missing the bigger picture. 1. H1B employers pay wages based on the numbers Department of Labor provides them. 2. Labor department contains a la carte of titles available for the same job to choos

You missed the part about labor department reporting correct prevailing wages. That would prevent abuses.

Big cities in the South are liberal oases. Houston, TX had a lesbian mayor till last year, who got married legally while in office.

That would essentially mean only silicon valley and NYC employers would get H1B employees. The entire South would face a skills shortage. The economist article actually provides a better solution. Visas shouldn't be tied to a particula

The bare minimum salary requirement for a position comes from the labor department. The first step on an H1B process is to determine prevaling wages in the city for that kind of position. For programmers, there are a multitude of titles ava

Appam is the good stuff from Kerala. The batter is usually mixed with coconut Toddy, a popular alcoholic beverage. Uttapam is made when dosa batter doesn't get over for 4-5 days. The bread tastes sour due to the amount of time it gets

Malabar Porotta and beef has become a symbol of resistance for us Keralites. The central governmemt has tried to enact beef bans across the country as cow is holy in North Indian version of Hinduism.

That's a long time ago. Now there are many companies and many jobs that pay a 100K USD in India. Also Indian software engineers get promoted really fast into management with vastly higher salaries.

We all like $400K the investment bankers make. But Finance Industry had developed a business where they could pay their workers $400K and still make a huge profit for their investors. Except for Googles and Facebooks, the average tech start

Using the term slavery for describing a highly paid white collar job is doing disservice to the descendants of slaves. Let's not get too far with the terminology.

Concentrating the delays and therefore the abuse to two countries created the IT outsourcing monsters you have now(search for TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant...) . Distributing the delays would therefore create smaller companies with a more

Look at the chart below. This should explain why H1B employees(Mostly Indians and Chinese) stick with their outsourcers. The legislation would help resolve the backlog. http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en&#x2F

I was on H1B with a true blue American startup. They developed cold feet when it came closer to sponsoring Green Cards. To start with GC wage levels are much higher than H1B levels. Also close to 15K+ needs to be spent for processing+ years

USCIS doesn't offer jobs. Just a work permit. They will interview for jobs like everyone else and have a chance of getting employed. It's just that instead of making it illegal, they are now issuing permits.

1. Most H1B's get higher pay than the H1B application wage. This happens in consulting jobs and is to ensure that you don't have to get deported because your annual income fell short of the absolute minimum in case you took a prol

I just had a thought that Elon Musk owning both Tesla and SpaceX, the next logical step would be an electric powered airplane or a chopper. It could be an airplane/chopper that would glide down to safety in case of a mechanical failure
