They are already planning to gut the OPT (Optional Practical Training) program which will all but ensure that students that do their Masters or Ph.D here will not be able to take their time to find a job. They'll need their H1-B visa a

Again, genuinely curious to learn if you've experience with enterprise companies using 'big data' technologies.

I'm genuinely curious. Can PG handle hundreds of users querying 100s of GB, sometimes the same set of tables, at the same time?

Which is probably why these Hadoop companies have very few customers and can probably never grow bigger beyond a certain point.

Isn't BlazingDB working on something like this?

This is the kind of shit that Democrats focus on that loses elections. Why is this a big campaign issue? Why not break up Walmart while we're at it?

If she breaks up Google Search and Gmail, and Google decides to shut down gmail, she'll not have an email service and lose all her email.

I do all the laundry, cook on weekends (and on weekdays if required), etc. That's not the point. My wife wants to be able to pursue a career of her own not just for money. She won't be able to do this without a H4 EAD

15 years. My GC has been in backlog for the last 9 years and I'll continue being on H1 for the next 5 years.

Personal reasons why I cannot go back easily. Going back is a last ditch option for me.

I wish H1-B visa holders from India and China would organize themselves and stage a walkout + protests so that these politicians and companies understand the impact it'd have on their economy.

Hmm, my wife wants to work in education. She filled a role that was open for 10 months so the argument that she took an American's job is not valid. I'd support a rule whereby spouses of H1-B visa holders can only work in fields w

Oh, affordability is not a problem at all.I make about $500k/yr. My wife cannot work if this change takes effect and it'll take a huge mental toll on her and on our relationship.

Sigh. Will have to move to Canada or home after 17 years of living here. My kid, an American citizen, doesn't want to move but this is going to devastate my wife who has only recently started to work in the education field and I can&#x

You need a Pixelbook. I switched to a Pixelbook recently and haven't looked back. It's great for note-taking, email (way better keyboard than an iPad keyboard, Mac (eww)), etc. Has a terminal that runs whatever I want (<signali

It's a huge concern for someone who's been a temporary worker for 17 years. My performance is usually in the top 3-5% but if I get laid off, I've to find a job in less than 60 days or go back to my home country which means I

Not sure why I understand why this is a big commitment. The first two steps (manager call and a tech interview) are already happening. I'm changing the onsite to exclude whiteboard programming and do real hands-on keyboard programming

Interviewing is broken. Whiteboard tests with a bunch of algorithm and data structures questions are meaningless and have no relevance to reality. If I ran engineering, this is what I'd have candidates do. 1. Initial video conf meeting

Am I the only one that feels that Uber has a ton of valuable location data? Aren't rides to a particular location similar to FourSquare checkins? "How many customers are likely to come to your restaurant every Saturday night? How

Lyft has to be in business till then. Local taxi companies are more expensive than Uber and inconvenient. Public transport is barely used. Uber is providing a subsidized public service while employing a lot of people. The moat is there but

I can afford to get a high net worth visa but it's not guaranteed and rejection rate continues to go up for that visa.

My point is that I've lived here long enough (in 4 years, I'd have lived here longer than I lived in my home country) and I still have to wait an indefinite amount of time to become a permanent resident. I've been here 17 yea

SO you are saying that it's ok for an American citizen to be forced to relocate because their parents couldn't be given a permanent visa after 17 years? Sure my daughter might be able to thrive but why?

I know. Right now, I'm weighing freedom against money.

Have saved up enough that if I had my GC, I can retire today outside California and I'm less than 40. I've to keep working in order for me to stay here legally. It's not a money problem. In fact, if I had my GC, I'd only

High rejection rate with $500k of hard-earned money locked in. Not gonna happen.

Please educate me on this. What ways do I have other than investing $500k here in a business and pray that I still get the visa when the rejection rate is >30%?
