some of the voters clearly did not understand that obamacare==aca setting this aside, I don’t think anyone is saying that H1B was a perfect system, but IMHO the benefits from it greatly outweigh the downsides. We’ll see how this unfolds and

that’s how much the relocation cost for me 15 years ago. it’s basically bringing in all your stuff + paperwork + housing etc. i remember it because it was reported come tax time. to be fair, this was Microsoft but still it was 50% of what m

yeah. let’s go back to coal. global warming is not gonna be this bad in the next 10-20 years. plenty of time to sort things out. plenty o time!

by rantwasp 6y ago
do you know how expensive is to bring someone on an H1B? the relocation itself is >50k. The salary has to be in the same range as the other workers in the same position. It’s literally more expensive to hire someone on an H1b. why would

yeah. this is not about reform. it’s about having another bullet point on some stupid list to please the voters. some of the same voters that were so disoriented to understand that obamacare is aca.

the schedule I was an exaggeration to emphasize how bad it really is.

anything to make the “base” happy I guess. This ripples from this will plague the American economy for years. Maybe H1B was in need of some sort of reform, but the implementation of this is simply moronic.

by rantwasp 6y ago
that’s just wrong. look up AC21. you can switch jobs on H1B. for an employer it’s easier to do the paperwork for this vs a full-blown H1B.

by rantwasp 6y ago
yeah no. that’s not how life works. we like to believe that we are all equal and interchangeable but the reality is that if you’re comparing the quality of people that come in on an H1B in tech with the average joe in the US you’re going to

by rantwasp 6y ago
> 99% of the H1B jobs could all be filled locally that’s a bold claim. do you have a any sources to back that up? also, just because someone that is only interested in the financial aspect does a bootcamp, does not mean that they can imm

this is the type of short time thinking that gets you in trouble. you’re not wrong that you’re going to do great for a while but when big tech starts moving operations overseas or in Canada you will see the macro result of this - and you’re

for what is worth this has been known for a while (lookup Stanford medicine study). what’s interesting is that 4-5 cups per day is better than 1-2. also there is speculation that it’s not the caffeine but other things in coffee that have be

sure. in the end you’re responsible for the choices you make. it’s just that it’s stupid hard to eat a healthy diet based on what you normally find in your average supermarket. sugar and added sugars are the norm. it’s also shocking - to me
706.
by rantwasp 6y ago
as far as health effects and addictiveness imho sugar should be classified as a schedule I drug (the whole idea of banning drugs is stupid - but i’m saying this as an indication of how bad it is) people just don’t get how harmful it is. sug

that's true. it's also true that as soon as the substance itself is going to be decriminalized people will have a cheaper alternative in the mushrooms themselves (think about it as off-brand, original drugs)

not familiar with this fellow but if I had to guess I would say that in some cases ldl-c (volume) is high while ldl-p (count) is low leading the ldl not to cause as much damage as it a high number of particles

not in their 20s but definitely not in their 80s like today. if you reached 50s you were a boss. a lot of things that we consider routine to fix today would have ended your life (broken leg/hand, infections, severe diarrhea, etc). We

no. because the paramedics were asking stupid questions not related to their job that had the potential to aggravate the patient’s condition.

primitive humans also lived 20-30 years tops. today at 20 you can eat whatever you want and you’ll mostly be fine short term. i’m tired of people justifying their life choices by what primitive humans were doing. we’re not primitive humans.

haha. it’s amazing how complicated even the simplest forms of organic life are. things do go wrong all the time and there are complex mechanisms to balance things out. that being said systematic imbalance or just “wear and tear” eventually

totally. looking at LDL-P is a better indicator that looking at “cholesterol”. There are cases where LDL-C looks okay but you have a large number of particles or cases with elevated LDL-C but with normal number of particles.

by rantwasp 6y ago
when you use LDL, HDL and cholesterol interchangeably this tells me that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Cholesterol itself is part of the lipid membrane of every cell. It’s essential. When people say “high cholesterol” they usual

i don’t like this line of thinking. digging in can help you tailor your diet and lifestyle on the genetics you have. also, decades of medical research cannot just be swept away based on a gut feeling. do know everything? no. do we have some

by rantwasp 6y ago
sorry but this is bs and straight dangerous. cholesterol itself is not dangerous but the proteins that carry it in the blood stream are. That’s why LDL is bad and HDL is good (supposedly 2 types of cholesterol- but they’re not they’re two t

yeah. people don’t really understand that it’s not the cholesterol in food that necessarily matters - most of the cholesterol that circulates in your blood is actually produced by your liver. also, there are different phenotypes when it com

by rantwasp 6y ago
so. this is so general that it’s not helpful. what ranges are we talking about? also, when people talk about cholesterol they usually don’t mean cholesterol they mean lipi-proteins that carry the cholesterol through the blood (cholesterol n
