This isn't true for all countries. I did my high school in India and I had to do tax returns (ex. calculate taxes for a working couple w/ mortgage, investment income, PF (401k) etc.) and financial calculations (compound interest

I wonder how much of the 1.75 Billion was already spent. I can't believe how they raised so much money in the first place without any market validation whatsoever.

https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl Note that it doesn't do slim binaries yet for embedded. Don't know if that's in the roadmap.

If it is indeed a bubble, why aren't there rigorous studies by universities, hedge funds and adtech competitors ? I'm sure there is quite a bit of money to be made shorting Google and Facebook.

So Sec.4.2.B.iii says the large communication providers are allowed to charge a fee to access the network but doesn't say anything about the same charges being applicable to themselves. Wouldn't this create a competitive advantage

Can interoperability and data portability still be legislatively mandated if APIs were ruled copyrightable in the Supreme Court (Oracle vs Google) ? Can monopolies go further and claim their user graph and user data is also under copyright

Not for H1Bs. This is a popular misconception. You can hire an H1B as long as you're paying above prevailing wage for that job as set by DOL.

by vsskanth 6y ago
When you hire an H1B you have to do something called a Labor Condition Application where you mention the occupation, salary offered and compare it against the prevailing wage. The salary offered needs to be higher than the prevailing wage.

Immigration laws were passed and signed even after 1960s. Since I only focused on H1B in my original comment I will only seek to address that point. H1B changes were not implemented by administrative fiat. The AC21 act was passed to provide

You can take all kinds of policy positions on a campaign, but any president cannot really do much to the H1B system without passing laws. Passing a new immigration bill is very hard since there are so many competing interests benefiting fro

Can you use smartphone wifi to do backscatter communication with the product at the software level or do you need some kind of custom firmware to achieve this ?

I had to read a lot of patents as an R&D engineer. Keep in mind it's written by lawyers so the text will have very dry language. Google patents is workable. Just learn about the patent classification system so you can really narrow

How is this dataset being updated considering considering the data from the iCERT system is not available real time anymore ? Are you relying on their annual disclosures ?

If you apply for an extension before your visa expires you have 240 days before you become out of status and your stay becomes unauthorized. You then start accruing illegal stay which could lead to bans on future entry to the US.
