It's embarrassing to realize that racial discrimination was happening in the USA even 20 years after WW2/Holocaust. Didn't the world learn that being racist = bad??

> Changing employers after 180 days have elapsed should not affect the underlying approved I-140. Employers can actually withdraw the I-140 if you switch jobs BEFORE filing I-485 and letting 6 months elapse - and then you have to start a

> management prefers a pliant, docile, easily controlled workforce I am trying to understand why, and what the incentive is. If the overall cost balloons up, what is it about a docile workforce that is so lucrative to these companies? Ab

> if they have an I-485 application pending for six months and an approved I-140 That is related to a green card. And yes, employers typically try to file your I-140 under EB-3. This means that you need to wait 10+ years before your prio

H1B portability is a misnomer. All that happens is that the new employer applies for a new H1B for you, which is not subject to the cap. So you are just tied to the new employer. Portability here just means that you can choose which employe

Penalizing early exit with loss of immigration status could be illegal...penalizing with money is probably not.

So there's a high initial cost involved, but then the company can wage suppress the employee over the next 5-6 years, and in the end turn a profit? Wow.

EDIT: AC21 is for those who are applying for a green card (I-485 pending). How the heck is AC21 even connected to H1B? Source/link please? EDIT2: H1B transfer does not seem to involve AC21. All that happens is that the new employer wil

Does anyone know if this situation is specific to IT/tech/computer science related companies? Does it happen to, say, petroleum engineers?

Isn't the "something else" just money? The employer gets an employee who is afraid to ask for a raise, since that might mean losing immigration status and returning to a (not as comfortable) life in their home country. With t

Hmm but you can still lose weight by eating low satiety index foods, as long as a calorie deficit is present. This means eating smaller portions of these foods. It just takes more self control because the body "feels hungry" when

Have you tried high protein-low carb instead of high fat-low carb?
43.
by induscreep 12y ago
There was some research that showed that the brain goes into hunting mode _for protein_, and it gets satiated when enough protein is had. But, today's sugary foods contain less protein than before, so we keep eating these foods until t

Diets are more about getting people to not feel hungry. This is done by reducing carbs, and increasing fat/protein. So, people won't "feel hungry" on a low carb diet, and thus, they are less likely to binge or gorge on s

Anyone have insight on how "my thyroid" affects weight gain/loss? As in, does TDEE decrease when something is wrong with the thyroid? If a typical TDEE is 2200 calories, then with thyroid problems, will it go down to 1500, or

Also, there were patients with Lhasa fever and Marburg in the USA before - and nothing happened. Ebola is hyped up because there's an outbreak in Africa.

Er yes I can. I want to know what is new since the 1971 orbiter success, and why India cannot put a rover on Mars.

by induscreep 12y ago
Maybe I should rephrase. Is this mission a scientific achievement? It could be a economics/accounting/marketing/HR/logistics achievement, but what is new scientifically?
52.
by induscreep 12y ago
Is this really an achievement when someone else could do it in 1965? Is it an achievement when other countries can land rovers on mars? India should be a leader, not follow others' footsteps. EDIT: 1971, not 1965

But India is 24 hrs away by flight. If there was a list of countries with the flight duration and cost of medical care, what countries would lie on the Pareto front? What if you sorted by a "$-hr" metric?

I tried uploading a computer science research paper from IEEE - detects "capacity" as jargon haha.

Even BofA in the USA issued tags that could be attached to the back of a phone (or anywhere else). That's what I don't understand...why does a NFC transaction have to involve smartphones? What is it that needs the processing power

Yup exactly. What is the incentive here for the banks to allow Apple to tokenize CC numbers, AND pay Apple for it? Some kind of risk/liability reduction?

by induscreep 12y ago
Interesting. Does this mean that transaction data (what I bought, when I bought) is visible to Google, unlike Apple Pay (claimed)?

Maybe it's about existing dongles communicating with the iPhone. On that note, is the communication protocol over 3.5mm audio standardized in any way?

by induscreep 12y ago
What is the point of this article? New iphone has barometer, some android phone dropped thermo/hygrometer support, some other folks made dongles which communicate via 3.5mm...so what.
