Its not just the network effect..Bloomberg's messaging system is tightly integrated with the other functionality of the terminal..for example one can execute a trade via a message or get live streaming quotes.
Would not the companies be wary of hiring people on H4 considering their authorization to work depends on their spouses maintaining their H1 status ? There is an inherent risk that the H-1B holding spouse might lose their job.
Was there a similar outcry when she joined the Stanford faculty ? Did everyone decide to shun Stanford ? If not , I am curious why her being a faculty member was acceptable and
being on the board of Dropbox is not, since the outrage is for her being a liar and a war perpetrator and not due to her skills for the job.
I agree with what everyone says here, but I think that reflects the OP's concern that he will have to prove himself by going the extra step, developing a worthwhile portfolio of work before being accepted as a person who knows his stuff. On the other hand ,a person with a degree from a known institute would be assumed by "most" people to have those skills , even without having anything to show for them.
As an introvert, I tend to agree with the author. Introverts generally make up the extreme ends of the population distribution in terms of being "successful", success being defined the way it is generally accepted. On the other hand, extroverts are spread out much more evenly. For example,the CEO of a big corporation might be an introvert, but most of the middle level managers are extroverts. Then there are those introverts who find it difficult to move up in the management hierarchy, for one reason or the other. I believe that those who are exceptions are so in spite of being introverts and not "because" they are introverts.
The worst case scenario of a nuclear reactor going wrong is much worse than any other alternative, however slim the chances of that happening may be. This fact is enough to be concerned about the safety of nuclear reactors.
My experiences have been as bad too..I am an Indian citizen and came to the US for graduate studies about 3 years back. Immediately after graduation,I was supposed to join a reputed company but due to some administrative glitch by the USCIS, it took me 6 months to get the required work authorization. I was barely able to convince the company to hold my job. Those were the most harrowing days. I came to India this December for vacation and my work visa application has been again kept on hold status since the past 2 months and I am struck here. I am again on the verge of losing my job. The worst part of all this is, the administration at no point does seem to care about letting people know what causes the hold up and the estimated time for it to get resolved. The lack of transperancy is so frustrating. Each day you just pray that you will get some update from them. And I am not alone, I know atleast 5-6 persons who have been held up for some reason or the other at this time. I really like life in the US and the opportunities it provides, but now I am seriously contemplating if all this is worth it.
On a similar note, Barack Obama mentioned in his interview with Fox last week that one of the downsides of being a President is that he lost the ability to have casual conversations with people. A public figure in any domain has to live with this.
nokia is a private company and is answerable to only its shareholders...there might be a backlash in Finland but any company that has to take or does take business decisions based on political/nationalistic considerations will find it hard to be competitive in the global economy
agreed..the next generation networks will carry voice as data packets itself so this had to happen sometime.However, I doubt how will this benefit the consumers as long as they are going to put caps on data usage.
actually if the description in the link is correct..it is indeed a real composite picture and the brightest white lights were present since 1992. however i do agree that the brightness seems to be artificially enhanced..
