A visualization of the 2012 Federal salary data set posted recently by Enigma.io. I submitted recently to HN, but it didn't get much attention. I've cleaned up a few things and added a median salary/top ten section. All the c

Engima.io showcased their tool recently on HN with Federal Employee Salary data. They provided a link to the data dump, which I decided to play around with. I'll put the code on github once I've cleaned it up a bit.

Have you tried releasing your project in small iterations instead of waiting for a year? Having users use the product that you're building and giving feedback on it is a motivator that works for me. Keeps reminding me __why__ I do what

I guess we're addressing two different issues. You're focusing on enforcement to address the abuse of the H1 program, whereas I'm taking the H1 worker perspective and trying to dispel the notion of indentured servitude.

by udit99 13y ago

Speaking from personal experience, an immediate GC filing is something that I have negotiated as a sine qua non for changing jobs. I understand that H1s in other professions may not have the leverage to negotiate this, but the current deman
