It does. One goes through a separate, advanced degree, pool for the h1b lottery. If one is not selected on that pool, then one enters the regular one. Also, a STEM masters allows one to do three years of OPT, which is basically a work permi

I feel ya, people are hard, and bosses really influence how we experiences work. Advocating for oneself IS hard, more so when we are relatively comfortable.

It takes time. Some people have a jumpstart, it is true, but there are ways for us who didn't, to build a network of trust. Be good at what you do, genuinely help people, without expecting or calculating whether it'll be beneficia

This guy is a legend on Palm OS aficionado circles. Back in the day he was pushing Palm OS to the limit and fixing issues that Palm was overlooking. His software was really hard to crack too. Truly great to see some of his work on other stu

Efficiency = Work out/energy in ;) Resistive heating is indeed 100% efficient. There are better ways to heat up things tough.

A nice exception to that rule were (are?) the HP G series. Similar in class to latitude. A staple of corporate class laptops. Their keyboards are spill proof and have internal drainage channels for coffee not to puddle or get into the inter

Stuff like this seemed to happen a lot back when webOS was a semi-serious contender in the mobile OS race. I remember that many times the downgraded functionality and bugs could be “patched” by changing the user agent. At the time I didn’t

Not to mention that the service manuals are public and very well written. The laptops are made to be serviceable. Not that one may need to, as the standard warranty is 3 years, on-site, worldwide. I was issued an elitebook at work. Liked it

I’ve worked with for a Tesla supplier and can attest that they do ask for some exotic designs/stuff. What made my company a good partner is that it was relatevely small and technologically advanced, we could cope with their engineering

The fracking I’m familiar with tries to reuse the fracking fluids as much as possible. Still some oil and gas activities do consume large quantities of water: pressure maintenance injection and Steam assisted gravity drain, the last one is

The cars my company uses have a speed warning. If you go above 90kms/h for more than 15 seconds an incredibly annoying High pitched tone will play. It works without limiting the ability to override it if the situation deserves it.

There is a mine in chile that does something similar with conveyor belts. The mine is in the Andes mountains, 3200 meters above sea level; the belts go downhill for 10kms to 1800 masl. They have most of their VFDs in regenerative mode, ulti

There are several autopilots able to follow a route untethered with just waypoints. Apm (ardu pilot mega) and pixhawk come to mind. From what I've read it is still highly recommendable by the RC community to have telemetry links and if

The similarities to WebOS are striking. The reasons why are different but they made some of the same mistakes and are ending up in the same place.

Where I live car insurance is very comprehensive and one of biggest reasons why people insure their cars is as protection for theft. For the most popular cars, the ones at higher risk of being stolen, tracking is mandatory. All insurance co

True, and under current regulations the US will always be a net importer, since oil exports are forbidden.
