I'm not. I cannot be without a job at any given point.

So I shouldn't complain? You vote for a senator and that person does not do what they promised to do and acts against your interests. Would you not raise your voice against them even in private about the situation? I'm still going

No, I don't have that lifestyle. Except for house everything is paid off. Live relatively frugally except for eating out a few times a month (no expensive restaurants $12/person max)

How about the reverse? You move to France, have a kid that's a French citizen and when the child is 18, you are kicked out but they are allowed to stay.

Sorry, my kid was born here. This is her home. This is all she has ever known for the last 10 years. I'm being 'forced' to be here because of her.

I'm in the same boat. 17 years here. Masters plus 15 years of experience. Getting paid >$500k per year yet I'm dependent on my employer to stay here legally. I'm still a temporary worker. I cannot take a sabbatical or take

Honest question. Instead of institutions declaring that so and so is certified in a field, why not let employers make these decisions based on the work that the student has produced. Particularly for the STEM fields, let each student publis

I don't want to risk $500k on this. Would rather go back and invest it in my home country. It's also a scam and I don't want to get my GC this way.

I'm strongly considering that. 17 years in the US, $550k in annual pay, $750k+ in taxes paid in the last 15 years, American-born kid but I still don't have the freedom to switch jobs at ease or even take a break between jobs, star

Clearly, whoever designed the Pixelbook keyboard talked to real users. I wish I could dual boot to Ubuntu on this machine.

I got a Pixelbook last week and have been using it as my everyday laptop for the last few days. Hands-down best keyboard I've used in a long time, probably better than the older Macbook ones.

Not really. They could sell their technology to a car company and all cars sold by that company could be self-driving enabled. Maybe we'll get true ride sharing then. I'm at home and not planning to use my car for the day. It coul

Self-driving cars will be feasible only if LIDAR/camera costs go down to $10k/car or lower. No one is going to pay $250k for a self-driving car. At $10k/car, it's $5B for 500k cars, something that Google can easily affor

Not everyone on the road can afford to do it. Maybe a small segment of the population will do it.

So basically Bay Area except for the hills. It doesn't get hot as hell but these days it's getting cold as hell.

by throwaway082729 8y ago
Exactly. Also, having self-driving cars does not mean that you only have self-driving cars in your fleet. They could still employ drivers strategically (in areas where demand is high which in turn will increase profitability and distributio

Once Waymo has fully autonomous vehicles on the road, they'll look to acquire Lyft for a decent price. Lyft has the brand value and the infrastructure for ride calling (intentionally not using ride sharing) except that drivers will no

Walmart did too, for a long time. They have had a stranglehold on vendors for vendors and were the first to kill small brick and mortar shopping.

Everything you've said is true. My wife is not even in tech. "the relationship deteriorates to the point where the non-working spouse goes back to their home country because they are unhappy here." - this is what we're

Yes, I come from an 'untouchable' country. :)

Sorry if it came off as asking for sympathy. I mentioned my compensation only to highlight the fact that I'm not cheap labor that's taking American jobs away. I happen to have some skills that top employers in the country deem eno

At what point do they stop being considered visitors? I've been here 17 years, have paid my taxes on time, assimilated as best as I can and am patiently waiting in line.

The system is fundamentally broken and it's partly my own countrymen to blame. I've lived here for 17 years (in 4 years, if I live here, I'd have lived here longer than in my home country), earn more than $500k per year and r

I've the Indianest sounding name possible and I can get 10 jobs in a month. Maybe, just maybe, it's because of your skills and experience?

by throwaway082729 8y ago
As an Indian, I completely agree. I don't consider anyone with Infosys, CTS, Wipro, etc on their resume. If they worked at startups in India, I'll consider them. I'm usually very skeptical of the technologies and skills they

The Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag (by Jim Corbett) is an even more chilling tale of an animal being cunning. I read Jim Corbett's books when I was younger and enjoyed them but now I've questions about the numbers themselves. S
