It seems to me that people think AI is somehow magic. Recently I led a product demo. The conversation went something like this: End users (at my company) - Can your AI system look at numbers and find differences and generate a text descri

There seems to a misunderstanding of H1B data. "Beneficiaries Approved" as a data point includes: 1. Extensions - H1B is approved for years. Once that period is complete employers need to extend it for another 3 years. 2. Amendmen
