Term limits and limiting lobbying won’t help. US Military is a massive jobs program and supports a huge section of the population if you include all it’s vendors. This is especially true in the heartland. Unless the amount of non-defense jo

I used to live in Akron. The tire, rubber and chemical industries are big and have a lot of high paying jobs. This is not even taking Cleveland into account which is a massive medical hub. Looking at just the city is misleading. You need to

I really like their UI for desktop. Has anyone managed to package their latest UI into a framework that can be used like Qt ? I remember they had an XUL based framework but I understand it's deprecated now ?

Ads ultimately subsidize content or products for your attention or information to market to you. There will always be a population willing to make that trade. The best we can hope for is that they’re labeled and you can pay to remove them.

This is an interesting article but there's not much discussion of the effect of Indian labor markets here. Not to mention Africa.

I guess the non-gamer external monitor customers are really small in comparison. Maybe they just make do with their laptops. I also am guessing the tech to support hi-res external monitors still isn't there in a $1000 consumer laptop.

Why have 5K displays not caught on ? 4K 27 inch is fairly affordable but you have to use 1.5x scaling and it doesn’t look good at all on Windows. I used to have 2x 24 inch 4K monitors at work and it used to be so nice to read text at 2x sca

YC has an immigration lawyer that frequently does an AMA and answers a lot of questions on O1 EB1 etc for founders. Maybe search through past threads and see if that answers some of your questions

> There is actually a valid reason to make it hard for doctors to move from one country to another. Training doctors is time consuming and expensive. There is a moral aspect to luring doctors trained in poor countries to rich countries.

I don't agree the cost of university is driving the salaries here. It's all about how many doctors are available to meet demand. If there are less, it's going to drive up salaries. There are other countries where the cost of

Can confirm anecdotally. Ending my 2BR apartment lease at 963/month to move into a house in a different location. Currently being re-listed at 1300/month.I was paying 850/month last year. Last year I looked at renting a simil

I've seen some people use a combination of payslips and offer letters as evidence to submit to USCIS but its rolling the dice, since it really depends on the immigration officer looking at your file. Some are OK, some aren't.

There's no law in the US unfortunately so there's no obligation on the employer to provide this information either. There is something called "The Work Number" that certain employers subscribe to for employer verificatio

Something that's not mentioned here is this refusal to even confirm what you worked on also affects people's immigration status. To approve I-140, USCIS requires a signed letter from employers confirming your title, experience and

I'm surprised there aren't a bunch of pilots running right now to assess how well EVs do with a USPS duty cycle. It must be really harsh on the powertrain. Missed opportunity.

I think that makes sense. However Its odd because if they were enticed to become permanent residents they'll setup businesses and eventually create an ecosystem, which can create more spending in their economy.

Texas has high property taxes isn't it ? My calculations are for NC. Taxes are like 2300 a year

So my calculation of 1600 a month includes everything except maintenance and utilities, assuming a $60 HOA. Maintenance even if you assume $150 a month average still skews towards buying.

Rents have risen so much even outside big cities that in some cases it's cheaper to just buy a Single Family Home (SFH), especially with low mortgage rates. In my area, it costs around $1600 to rent a 2BR2BA apartment in a good complex

In this context (the nurse case), the firemen are at will employees and don't have a contract with the city. They don't even have to provide notice. In addition to that, employees aren't property (as of 2022). They have certa

I don’t understand how encroaching on the civil liberties of citizens is legally allowed for keeping a medical center staffed (however necessary it is deemed to be). For example, is it legal for a town to, let’s say, select 5 people and say

I think Japan is one country I know of where RE isn't considered an investment. Not sure if there are other places. Might be worthwhile to find out how they do it.
