Or you can switch to an H1-B and apply for a Green Card immediately after getting it if you feel like becoming a permanent resident.

The H1-B also need to be renewed (even for the same employer), except it's on a 4 year period IIRC. Also, the TN can be renewed indefinitely, whereas the H1-B can only be renewed so many times before you're "forced" into a Green Card.

It can also be used, like you mentioned, as a bridge to start working immediately without having to wait for H1-B openings the be ready.

For Software Engineers, citizens from these 4 countries can get work Visas other than an H1-B:

  Canada
  Mexico
  Singapore
  Chile

The first two on the TN Visa, and the latter two on the H1-B1 Visa, the cap has never been reached on either.

Yeah, it'll look good. I scale my 15" MBP to 1920x1200 and it looks good.

VGA has lower quality at high resolutions than something like DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI. Then again, if the place still has a VGA connector, it's unlikely the projector is high-resolution.

Well, the official Apple mouse does not require a dongle, their logic must be something along the lines of "that's what you get for using third party mice".

Only base salaries are used for Visa purposes. No equity/bonuses are included.

Do you need to support older hardware? Or is there a particular reason you can't use DB-25 and just use 19 pins?

It is still in effect, unfortunately.

It still baffles me that people feel entitled to live forever in a rental unit with minimum rent increases (while keeping the right to move out whenever if it's advantageous).

Not being subject to this is pretty much the main advantage of owning your primary residence, rather than renting it.

Now, the fact that a lot of people don't really have viable avenues into home ownership (even if they wanted to do it) is another matter completely.

Hasn't this been known for months now?

But turbo spooling sounds awesome!

I agree, as a foreigner living in the US, it's baffling how different each state is in regards to law/budgets/etc.

Came here to say exactly this, 24-bit matters because of digital volume controls.

192khz on the other hand, is kinda pointless.

Well, Bose / Beats are clearly overpriced for what they deliver.

What sites should really say, is what dumb "password restrictions" they forced you to use on signup. For example sites should have a message that says:

"We are dumb enough to force your password to have at least one Uppercase/Lowercase/Number/Symbol and it must be at least 8 characters long, but you can't have consecutive numbers, this may make it different from your usual password pattern and force you to recover the password every goddam time you try to use our site".

That is nowhere near the South Bay though.

It's not the South Bay until you are at least in Santa Clara county.

BART in the South Bay, huh? Sounds legit.

Not sure if serious or trolling.

Yes, but with a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck, it's easier to rationalize costs that are not immediate.

There are some subscription services that are quite affordable and not having a cell phone in the modern world is not really an option.

Agreed, the phone is 99 cents ON A 2-YEAR CONTRACT, not unlocked, which somewhat diminishes its value proposition.

This may seem weird in Silicon Valley, but even in the US, a lot of people don't have $200 to pay for a phone.

I think the server melted.

I'll take false alarms over having no warnings at all.

Japan, Mexico City, and other seismically active places, have such systems in place and have had them for years. Amazing that California, the epicenter of tech, is just getting on board with this.

Google's lack of support for WP is WP's biggest weakness.

Good for them, I love play music all access radio, but manually curated playlists are something else.

Because someone can argue that they don't have access to their email right now (on a trip or something). Or that the associated email has "been hacked".
