The European countries who never fulfill their annual US visa allotments; to the chagrin of Chinese and Indian visa seekers who are facing almost a decade long wait. The disparities in salaries are pretty much isolated to tech. Most other o

And here I was ready to sharpen my pitchfork. Thanks for communicating the error and the correction. I know this time of year can be especially challenging.

There is building stuff in orbit and there is learning to build stuff in orbit. We’re still figuring out the later. Microgravity factories and construction have many benefits. We just haven’t figured out the how just yet.

A bit of both. I assume they can spy on the US through 5-eyes, 9-eyes, 27eyes, etc. But to allow Uganda to do it was a bridge too far. If NSO had been in almost any other country there wouldn't be a building left standing. The US regar

> I wonder what the reaction would be if this was a US company and not an Israeli one. For hacking into a US official's phone without a warrant? They would go to jail.

Which is odd because NSO made many assurances to the US govt they were in control of the tech and that US nationals were not to be included. Looks like they weren't in as much control as they stated they were.

If that is the case then the board should state they removed her. And have a press release ready to go as soon as it's in effect. I've witnessed a few senior management removals in my lifetime. Rarely has it been unannounced. Even

Th title is in the owners name with a note of a bank lien on it. When you sell the car the bank lien is settled first and then the transfer can begin. In most cases you can’t register the car without the title and you cant drive the car wit

Not just NYU. My school had generous scholarships for freshmen. Then each subsequent year, as your loan limit was allowed to increase, you were expected to take on more loans. You could reapply every year for some of those scholarships but

I've never seen companies work so hard to keep applicants away as much as they do today. Boomers are retiring, millenials are looking to fill those roles, X and Z are barely a rounding error (sorry to say). And yet the job descriptions

I agree, it shouldn't have been in there. But that is only tangential to the reason why Trump pulled the US out of it. He despised China so much that he made sure to strengthen his personal businesses with them while simultaneously wea

If you are the referring to Trump cancelling TPP it was a dumb move that only emboldened China. The TPP was supposed to be the US and 12 smaller Asian nations vs China. TPP was created because of China's unfair trade practices and Trum

The crypto/ICO/NFT/WEB3 scene is just so much hype right now it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s a scam. 2019 feels like a decade ago and things have changed so much in the last year. I’d consider a revisit.

I'm a local Miamian and I'm hoping the crypto scene in Miami is a beach head for other tech and not a white whale that sucks up all the capital and brainpower from other emerging technologies.

You make it sound SF was a basket case before tech arrived. It's a city literally created from the Gold Rush. And probably has seen more boom and bust than most cities. I assume SF will find a happy medium where part of the population

Is like to see what that case is? Because nothing about the Great Leap I’ve read compares to chattel slavery or the 40% losses of life in the transatlantic slave trade.

Outside of SV and NYC I can assure you the majority of tech is not high six figures. Most are barely high five figures.

If you aren't investing your money then you are letting the bank invest for you and they keep the proceeds. When my latest bank offered me .1% savings account I just closed it and put everything into cash management investment account.

Billionaires could do this and yet chose not to. Do you ever wonder why American schools finish at 2-3pm rather than run the entire day as Western Europe? So that teachers could get that extra 3-4+ hours of doing the administration side of
