I was just thinking about this. Since a job must be advertised locally is there any requirement that the h1b holder actually has to satisfy the requirements for the job. If not, what is the purpose of the advertisement anyways?

by rjkennedy98 6y ago
I agree and disagree with this. I do feel that everyone who has been around the block knows that job requirements are nice to haves rather than need to haves. Otherwise no one would get hired. On the other hand, I do think there are issues

Ethnically English. Can you read?

> inaccurate claims What is inaccurate about the claims. The English are an ethnic minority in London. That is a fact. You can say oh Englishness isn't the same as the Ethnic English, but to do that you are stripping English people

Yes of course natural things can be bad and unnatural things can be good. That is totally beside the point (and a total straw man). We obviously live in a world where natural remedies can't be commercialized the way Pharma drugs can. T

Why don't you actually listen to the podcast before making a judgement. Honeypot operations are not unprecedented. Israel's most famous spy was involved in honeypots and orgies successfully targeting the Syrian military and govern

Am I the only one here that hated this article? If the point is we should invest more in things - we agree. We all agree. Pretty much everyone with any sense agrees. Even people on the right like Julius Krein have been pushing for nothing b

Except for possibly commodities what is the purpose of these options. So far as I can tell it’s just gambling. Guessing whether a stock price will be slightly higher in a few weeks isn’t investing. These people aren’t doing due diligence an

I have no idea where most of you guys work, but to claim that Google and AWS have bad marketing seems to me to be totally insane. I've been at a company with bad marketing. Even though we were a unicorn with 10s of millions in revenue

Diversity at our company has an explicit definition. It means women, plus latino and blacks of any gender (including mixed race with a parent of such a background). That is probably not what people think of as diversity in a broad sense, bu

In a bubble, yes. But if you compare them to the top paying jobs of prior generations (say finance jobs of 20 years ago) they are actually pretty paltry wages in comparison. Plus, 250K in San Francisco where the average home is over a milli
