Out of curiosity, what brain cancer does she have? I had a Grade II astrocytoma in 2013, came back in Sept 2015 as Grade III. Currently undergoing chemo and feeling fine (25 years old).
> The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires that the hiring of a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers comparably employed. To comply with the statute, the Department's regulations require that the wages offered to a foreign worker must be the prevailing wage rate for the occupational classification in the area of employment.
The prevailing wage rate is defined as the average wage paid to similarly employed workers in a specific occupation in the area of intended employment.
No, not because of that. In case you did not know, the companies are obligated to pay H1b employees more than the prevailing wage for that position in that county. This is something controlled by the Department of Labor.
One day. One day I hope Xamarin will find a different financing model, or like you said include VS support in their indie plan. It's just far too expensive right now.
Ah, I understand what you're saying right now. Still, if this offer were to go through, I'm willing to bet that 95% of Americans will not know the parent company's name - as is the case today (a shock I see on everyone's face when I tell them that T-Mobile is essentially a German company, or at least owned by one).
I'm somewhat disturbed by the fact that Samsung (and Apple) seems to be the only one that is pushing for >= 10" tablets. I had a Galaxy Tab S Pro which is not that great (heard the Note line is very good). I ended up gifting it to my dad and I bought myself an iPad, even though I'm heavily invested in Android.
Nexus 10 has no successor, and LG is not coming out with anything with that diagonal, and now this.
I am not sure how it is not relevant. Tmobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom, a German company. T Mobile operates in the US and many other countries. If this offer goes through, T mobile US will be owned by Free, a French company. But it will continue to operate in the US.
That's what I thought too. If the CEO does a good job and the company is succeeding, who cares what his/her personal beliefs are? As long as those are not transferred onto the company.
I have thousands of comments on Reddit (around 45K comment "karma"). I started visiting the website in 2008, when I was 18. Thought it was fun.
However, I began to notice that as I grow older (mostly intellectually), it seems that reddit users stayed the same age. The discussions that I once found intriguing and raised some meaningful points now turned into nothing more but a huge "circlejerk", as reddit users call it. It has become "you're either with us, or against us".
In essence, I think reddit suffers from its userbase: too many minors who think they know exactly how the world works in every way (I will admit I felt the same when I was <18). The WorldNews subreddit is terrible - /r/europe is even worse, especially now with the Ukrainian conflict.
I do find that some more-focused subreddits (I frequent linux, python, programming, webdev...) are somewhat better (as someone here mentioned). But although almost new to HN, I find the discussions here far more meaningful and I find myself visiting HN more often nowadays. Let's just hope it stays that way.
I was using Nikola for some time, but Github Pages + Jekyll is a good alternative. Though I am currently using WordPress (not that anyone is visiting it), I think I may look into Ghost.
This is fantastic. I've used python mechanize in some very large projects and it was very frustrating - their lack of documentation and, well, the fact that it's complete "abandonware".
I've had mechanize repository cloned for a year now, planning to do something with it - never got around to. Looks like MechanicalSoup just got themselves a new contributor!
