It causes incremental demand for H1-B visas from H-4 dependents whose specialized skills were not sufficient to warrant an issuance of an H1-B visa in the first place. This could be happening at the expense of more qualified H1-B candidates

You can't, but you can search for a job with an employer who would be willing to sponsor an H1-B. Being in the country makes it much easier.

There is H-1B, but there is also H-4 (dependents), as well as L-1/L-2. My prediction is that if H-1B visas will be squeezed, we'll see a pick-up in L-1. https://apps.axibase.com/chartlab/8c9bb9cc/8/#

Enjoyed reading the article. More specific and practical than far-reaching Kurzweilian forecasts. I also liked that each paragraph provided links to associated data sources, e.g. crash stats, convenience store sales etc.

This is a great find, browsed thru a 1932 issue and it was like traveling on a time machine. 2^6 + 2 cover pages. Passes the numerology test too. Makes me want to travel to North Korea for live footage of the same theme.

What this article fails to emphasize and report on is the amount of settlement payments and related legal expenses produced by cases filed with the EDT court. I wouldn't be surprised if they would dwarf whatever remedies are awarded by

I wanted to learn how to swim butterfly. This is difficult to master on your own.

A much harder thing for adults is to re-learn something they already know in a different way. For example, I thought I knew how to swim until I took private lessons with an instructor. I spent most of the time 'unlearning' the wro

FWIW, the US Fed is the only major central bank in the world that is substantially privately owned. All of its federal reserve banks are owned and governed by private shareholders. The implicit interests of these stakeholders can be conside

Take a look at the chart titled "Market-Based Inflation Expectations". What's the rationale for selecting the 19% and 24% percentiles. I assume these are percentiles of all values of the underlying metric recorded throughout

The 40% discount is not really a discount for existing customers. It's a discount for an annual commitment, it seems.

The traditional channels between the U.S. and Russia for pushing back against each other are evidently not working. What's remaining is doing the same thing, over and over again expecting different results.
