I understand the air of superiority in your comment. You can keep that to yourself and go back to your colonial days. By the way, what you think about this ? Isnt it stupid to call it a world series ? As a European, will you call it the wor

Thats a common misconception and ignorance of western world in action. Just like they call their native Americans as Indians. And when they say "world", they really mean the North American continent. When they say immigrants, they

Don't you understand ? Using Paypal anyone can sell from anywhere in the world. Why are you still insisting on Stripe ? "Stripe allows purchases from over 135 countries". I want my product to be sold all over the world. Strip

Stripe is US only and very bad charge back fees and worst dispute resolution. After losing a lot of money by using Stripe as a small time side projector, I recommend using PayPal, they have all that Stripe provides. I don't understand

IIT grads get funded to study using taxpayers money in India and they migrate to the US. There is no use for the country funding them with high quality education. We should stop funding IITs with tax payers money which is of no benefit to t

FYI, US is not the only country which have cars. Do not peg everything with whats in US. Its pure solipsism. The demand for oil will rise from developing nations in the near future. Rise of Tesla ? Everywhere else in the world, we havent he

Person of color here. Everyone else have to struggle a bit more. I am not automatically privileged like the whites are born into. I changed my name in the resume to a white name just for a test and surprisingly got more interview requests.

Climate change and immigration are the two topics that Trump can use to his benefit without the fear getting bitten back. Immigrants have no say or voting rights. They can be used as a drum to do the pow wow ing. Earth wont talk back. Two p

Looks like the outsourcing companies have defied Trump administration's paper tigers. No positive changes for the American workers from the H1B side. Fake job descriptions and unskilled workers are going to rule the roost this FY too.
