I happened to be in a in- construction facility being built for a F100 company and saw they were using Samsung "digital signage" TVs for the meeting rooms and lobbies. Fairly certain these TVs will never connect to the internet ou

This is a massive differentiator for Firefox and they should use that to their advantage. As of now I still find their Android browser not felling as smooth as chromium ( I use kiwi browser) for some reason. There's always some annoyin

I’m a little confused as to how to use this rule of thumb when you don’t know when your next sample is going to appear. For example, I was looking to buy a house a few months ago. It was a pretty competitive market with really low supply (1

Has anyone figured out a free or one time payment way to get white noise on Amazon Echo ? It's such a pain that I have to make a looping playlist with white noise and program it into a routine. It mostly works but not reliable

I'm Indian, live in the US (Midwest, south, outside big cities) and I'm happy to just meet another fellow Indian lol. Couldn't care less about caste or language or whatever. We are already so far away from home, atleast we ca

Immigrants understand they have less rights and if they want to go there or stay permanently they have to earn their place through whatever qualifications the host country mandates. The primary complaint here is the massively different wait

The interesting part here is he finally got his green card after 18 years only because he married an Australian citizen and wasn’t blocked by the county quota anymore. Imagine how frustrating it must be being qualified, living in the count

"They" are not the cause of the shortage. You will have a housing shortage even without "Them" because of zoning issues and housing supply shortage.

Its a very common misconception that immigration takes away jobs from the native population. Also known as "Lump of Labor Fallacy".

H1B visas are a lottery with <30% chance of getting picked up. Employment-based immigration to the US is a long process (1.5-2 yrs), on top of only 15% green cards being allocated to it, not to mention all the rate throttling quotas. USC

No mention of margins for homebuilders being higher for bigger homes than the smaller ones. Maybe it will change now that SFH prices have skyrocketed and pushing more people into smaller townhomes.

Their strategy of becoming HBO before HBO becomes Netflix seems to be failing because they keep putting out complete garbage shows instead of prestige TV. I blame it on their pivot towards reality shows. We watched the Great British Baking

The biggest advantage is the ability to deploy the code as static binaries to be used in other applications. Not needed if you're just scripting and plotting but a huge deal if a scientists fancy numerical code needs to be used in prod

Yeah FreeTaxUSA is amazing. They organize their UI in income and deduction sections labeled with the form name so it's easy to link them to whatever forms you get from various sources. Took me a couple hours to file my taxes in a singl

Through the police, yes. Upon receiving credible police reports Telco in US refuses to route certain sources coming from Telco in India. Repeated infractions gets the entire Telco banned from making calls to US Telco. However I don't k

Why are spam and phishing phone calls still an unsolved problem ? You can't get a phone line or SIM in India without ID. shouldn't this be possible to verify and block at the telecom level ? Is there something to do with common ca

Are you aware of the total time it takes to sponsor someone's green card through employment and get them to the US ? It's a multi-step process involving DOL USCIS DOS with each step taking 6 months or more. If the employee is from

This is typical for staffing firms. File a bunch of applications, find work for whoever gets through the lottery and file an amended petition with the actual end client. Didn't know that was actually illegal. It's good they'r

Barring some massive recession you can expect your down payment to have an ROI like a bond when you sell so you can just assume it to be part of your bond allocation. Obviously you'll lose a lot in transaction fees alone if you sell wi

Wow. I'm curious to know how Inscape (the scanning tech mentioned here) is able to circumvent HDCP in this case. Do they have special access ?

The odd thing was this time even the rents increased substantially, so much that if you're moving to a new place it might be cheaper monthly to just buy instead of renting. Maybe now with interest rates near 5% and home prices still at

There seems to be very little reporting on this from immigration reporters on Twitter considering the impact of some of the provisions for legal immigration. I guess they expect the immigration stuff to be thrown out in reconciliation since
