artaak··on 23andMe named Invention of the Year by Time
Your point was very clearly shown in the first part of the movie "Idiocracy". Very well expressed!
artaak··on Why Won't Google Video Just Die?
It just target different audience. There is no need for it to be "like Youtube" or just disappear. It serves completely different purpose as documentaries (mentioned here), conference talks and etc.

Personally, I find it at least as useful as Youtube if not more.

artaak··on Game Developer Salaries From H1-B Data
Talent and leverage goes side by side in H1-Bs. The same applies sometimes to the foreign students pursuing PhD in US. If the advisor does not like something he does not mind to use the leverage"if you do not like it - go back to your country".

It looks like that the language map is very approximate and in some places covered with non-existent artifacts.
artaak··on Clickpass on how to get a visa for America
The most surprising is the inability of the American immigration system to adjust to the changes. While thousands of unskilled, poorly educated people cross the south border, there are only 65k H1Bs per year for professionals, and even that miserable quota is overfilled in one day and turned into a lottery.

The idea is neat! Do you think you would eventually extend it and create a listing with relevant startup jobs?
artaak··on Startup Bootstrap Funding: Unemployment
The comments are outrageously hilarious. It is unbelievable how much energy is spent by some people to prove that someone is "wrong"!

It reminds me this cartoon: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png
