> Part of the H-1B process is to prove you (hiring company) can't find and equal American citizen to come work for you. This is true for a company sponsored Green Card application, not H-1B visa.

Not saying either is a good strategy, I'd rather see more posts from my friends than random pages. Just pointing out the analogy.

The French Laundry is a very niche product, which Facebook is not. I think a more apt analogy is suggesting McDonald's to include more "healthy" options or a coffee bar because the competitors do it and it's a successful

This seems like an extreme way of thinking about it. Maybe they like taking/looking at/sending the pictures, but between work, summer camp, soccer lessons, making sure everyone's fed, etc, they just forgot to book a session,

IMO this is the wrong metric to look at. Any company that has experienced hyper growth (like FB or Amazon) will see very low average tenures simply because of math. The right metric is avg tenure at time of attrition.

There are no URLs in app installs. The ad links to the iOS app store, and Apple does not give you any information post install on where the source came from.

Not true. If I know you want a keyboard and that you can buy it from 100 different stores, I would probably give you a discount to buy it from me as long as it still makes me money.

Battery life also makes a huge difference. If you use just the view finder on a dslr you can take many hundreds of pictures on a single charge.

It could be if iOS or OSX dominated the market share, but I don't think that's the case right now.

I'm pretty sure you're conflating H-1Bs and Green Card applications. H-1Bs do not have this stipulation, and you're not required to put out ads for the position (like you do for green card labor certs). The only stipulations

No, that only applies to green card applications through work. General work visas don't usually have this restriction.

This is correct, it needs to be posted publicly around the office (both salary and job description). It's anonymized in that it does not have the name of the employee, but if you're one of the few around the office on an H1B ...

They require you to turn the stove ON first, and then take over from there, so it bypasses the ignition skipping and "auto on" concern.

Google changed the terms of the Developer Distribution Agreement, I don't believe Amazon was violating Google's terms when they initially put it in the play store. This article has more details: http://www.androidpolice

iOS apps cannot handle (or intercept) http/https urls, they can only register a custom scheme with the OS and handle those.

From what I understand, app indexing is currently Android only, whereas app links was designed to be cross platform from the start.

I think Android definitely has a stronger story than iOS, but Android also allows any app to handle any url, so multiple apps can attempt to handle a domain (like facebook.com), whereas app links allows you to direct the link to a single ap

I'm sure there's context missing in that quote. Bar Raisers would not veto someone just because they didn't know specific things about a programming language ... unless they claim to be masters of a certain language.
