The system is biased against letting people work a shorter work week in the US for professional positions. a) Health insurance is partially paid by employers, creating a lot of overhead for each employee, and the cost is the same whether th

What it comes down to is empathy. Empathetic people are able to put themselves in the shoes of others and understand their circumstances and use logic to rationalize their own emotions. In the long run, this type of person is better to work

I actually really like this. The natural language of the weather and the comparison to yesterday is helpful in understanding how I need to approach the day. This is impressive for a first project after only a few months! Mind sharing your r

New doctors actually have a hard time getting jobs in major markets (big cities) because they are saturated. The only place they have mobility is rural underserved areas. In fact, I would argue that reality is the opposite: doctors and dent

People who are too busy to handle the hiring process should NOT post job ads. Period. That's what OP is talking about -- disrespect. If you place an ad, with very detailed requirements, and are not prepared to handle the process of applicat

The biggest H1B employers are large IT consulting companies that do a round-robin of cheap Indian IT workers to work in the US and then go back home. The prevailing wage requirement is not grounded in reality. If it were, why would you brin

Rent out the house and move into cheap accommodation somewhere. This isn't really a good excuse. You may even be able to rent it furnished.

I miss the playful/innocent nature of the internet back then. These days it's all about being "sexy" and cool.

I hope she can get her tourist visa. It's by no means guaranteed, coming from Kenya. I also hope there are mechanisms in place to return the funds to the donors if she can't make it due to rejected visa.

I will always treasure the fact that I grew up with the internet during these times. Yes, even the old geocities pages. It truly was a "new frontier," and not everyone gets to experience something like that. It was all so exciting. People w

I read the site and still can't really figure out what it does. What the hell was that "launch party?!" Was that really thrown just for the launch of this simple event app? Am I in another world? What a tremendous waste of resources. This s

Had the same kind of page at his age. AngelFire and Geocities. Was also scripting my own "eZine" in ASP for a music news page that summarized articles around the web, linked to them and allowed reader comments. This was a pretty new concept

You can keep building when you have $10M in the bank. You can build a lot of things, not just websites. You can build a hotel. There's so much out there to do. Working on the same thing my whole life sounds miserable.

A walk from 2nd to 7th isn't that bad. Agree, though, could use another crosstown like the L somewhere else. I hate buses.

Why not just use an antenna? I'm missing something here. Aereo sounds nice for people who want to stay connected to their hometowns when living away, but if you're in Tampa why stream Tampa OTA TV when it's free over the air?
