The figures for Indian-males is quite depressing. The only bright side is that it doesn't differentiate between Indian-male from India (immigrant with heavy-accent) and Indian-Americans like me with a fluent American accent.
The footer indicates a series of alleged inventions in the pharma space by Shkreli / "Pharma Bro". I thought he was a Hedge Fund / Wall Street hack who hustled his way into the Pharma industry all the way up to CEO.
Any facts on the authenticity of these inventions he claims?
Here's the list.
- Co-Inventor of a new series of pantothenate analogs for the treatment of pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration, a lethal pediatric illness
- Licensor and innovator of sparsentan, the first endothelin antagonist for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a rare pediatric kidney disease
- Co-Inventor of a new series of molecules for the treatment of Canavan Disease
- Co-Inventor of a new series of molecules for the treatment of Lafora Disease
- Inventor of a fusion protein platform for the treatment of several rare genetic disorders
- Co-Inventor of a potential treatment for SLO Syndrome

Ok, how do all these Banks affect so many people in many countries around the world so adversely, and yet not a single person goes to Jail ever for the crime?
Meanwhile, the dude selling 1/2 ounce of weed by the street corner in the Tenderloin gets 20 years in Pelican Bay?
Serious Question: Why don't they ever have criminal charges against Banks who launder money and cause the deaths of 100s and 1000s of people in war-torn countries?
> Consider for a moment that from this day forward, on the first day of every month, around $1,000 is deposited into your bank account – because you are a citizen.
If implemented, it will surely be a disaster in America (DOA - Dead on Arrival), considering how well African Americans have worked and abused the Food Stamps system.
Let me tell you a story. I was getting my beat up Honda Civic in SOMA last month, when a black dude rolled up in a Mercedes-Benz and paid cash to the owner for some work done earlier. After he left, I told the Mechanic "Wow, High roller huh?". To which the mechanic laughed. "Well. He lives in Bayshore (Bayshore is like Ghetto / Projects) in a nice 3-BR apt, pays only 300$ rent, and has 4 kids, because the more kids you have and are un-employed, the more hand-outs the govt gives in terms of food stamps and stuff, and the less they charge for rent." He said it gets even better for "single moms", so women who are single moms deliberately choose to not marry their new dude, despite being with him for several years, since they'll lose the "benefits" from the government.
In short, American are inherently lazy and will "work the system" any which way they can. I see the people getting high on weed with free $ from the Goverment and not doing anything to become gainfully employed again.

> I've been warning friends and family about this for years.
How did it work out? I tried the same too, but it was falling into deaf years. Most common response. "Sean beta (means son in hindi). You are being excessively paranoid. Facebook is a closed community, and I only share info with friends and family, so don't worry."
> If Mr. Zuckerberg takes seriously his oft-stated commitments to diversity and openness, he must grapple honestly with the fact that Facebook is no longer just a social network. It’s an advertising medium that’s now dangerously easy to weaponize.
The story is chilling. It more or less proves that Trump campaign and the Billionaire Republican donor who owns the Data Analytics site used Facebook to profile people and send targeted "fear" stories to them and swing the vote away from Clinton.
Wow! Didn't know about this. Do several countries owe Germany this debt? How??
Also if true, then Germany will also see a lot of Social unrest and the anger will be (unjustly) directed towards Refugees.
And with all the young high-testonterone Arab refugees now living in Germany, and a civil unrest in the horizon, Germany seems to be 1 dangerous place to be in right now, especially for young single German women.
More like mis-informed assertion on your part. The filing employer is REQUIRED BY LAW to prove that they couldn't find an equally qualified person in USA.. They are required to post a job listing and vet applicants. The H1B abusers like Microsoft, Infosys skirt around this by putting an ad in an obsure local newspaper that no-one is going to read. And even if someone applies the Hiring Manager finds some grounds to reject the applicant without legally getting into a pickle ("ex: candidate failed verbal tech interview etc).
What's worse is that it most likely affects American Citizens. They usually leave the H1B Visa workers intact, in part, because they file justifications for not being able to find an equally qualified person in USA.
> APIful is a blog dedicated to topics in web APIs and API based web services. Join us on moving the internet forward with APIs!
Not trolling, but seriously wondering what APIful.io's value proposition is. Home page is confusing and after stumbling around a bit, it looks like they crawl API usage on github and stackoverflow questions on those API.
How would a full-stack engineer like me use the site, and for what purpose / value? Also, their about page list over 10 people. How is the site monetized??
