I understand it must be comforting to issue a blanket statement like that, but I it's just simply not universally true. I was hired on an E3, next job transitioned to H1-B and now have a green card. My work has directly enabled the hiring of three Americans. Is the H1-B perfect? Of course not. But on both occasions there were no other candidates, and when I was hired on H1-B I got a mandated higher salary to meet expected pay rates.

I really hope you meant defected!

This is anecdata of one but not including service staff (student union etc.) we're looking at hiring. Enrollment is still high, and there's still the endowment as backstop. And in my particular niche, I still see job openings - they're just remote now

As a legal immigrant, I can assure you, it's not open door. It's difficult, expensive, long and Kafkaesque. You really really shouldn't describe an experience you clearly don't understand.

Every time you buy your stocks for those individual companies you're accruing fees. You're also extremely susceptible to sudden loss due to lack of diversity. And even if you had the time, energy and knowledge to pick what you think is the best half of the Russell 3000, you still wouldn't beat the index - https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/01/03/warren-buffett-jus...

I think it's natural to feel like the populace is heading to a more competent place as the elderly age out, but anecdotally I think the opposite might be true. I've met kids in middle/high school who didn't understand how to do rudimentary OS operations, resolve email disconnections, update apps that didn't come from a store etc. The worst was when I taught a semester as an adjunct. Most of my students simply were unable to zip files together and send them as an attachment... Internet native in the iOS era is seemingly much worse than the XP era

I think they are referring to people excluding potential partners due to their lack of money or education. But I agree, their writing insinuates the institution itself is discriminating.

I don't disagree with that statement, but rb808 specifically cited "well educated parents".

How would someone be well educated at a bad school? I feel like that loses any reasonable definition of good.

I agree as a generalization, but that does presume that the syllabus itself doesn't need rote interpretation.

  “No, we haven’t learned about some of the vectors yet, so for the sake of the problem, we just take this one out,”

Many many students self-combust when faced with garbage worded questions because they never learnt how to deconstruct them in class. When questions come with spelling errors and ambiguous variables it's tough.

Isn't that just a matter of chicken and the egg timing tautology? The parents are well educated presumably because they went to good schools.

"Gun" is just a way of describing someone who's good at something. Australian slang.

Did you sleep poorly beforehand, or is it just a deeper sleep now?

I think this is a clash of use of American-isms. Soda (stand-alone) is sugared soft drink. Soda Water, is usually carbonated water (sugar free, sometimes flavored)

While as a developer I find this super interesting, as a system administrator this makes me cringe. We don't have a lot of resources for servers, and I end up spending a disproportionate amount of time banning IPs from bots running poorly configured tools like this, which aren't rate limited and crush websites.

I'm grateful that "Obey robots.txt" is listed as part of it's standard behavior. If only scrapers cared enough to use it as well.

"The OP provided a link that doesn't go to an Elsevier-affiliated website."

Eh, it's not just mugged, although I suppose that's part of it. More just punching/stabbing attempts, they're either high, drunk, or mad about the fare etc.

In the front you're not going to get blindsided.

Left unsaid is that guys are expected to ride in front, women in back. Guys less likely to cause violence in front, women less likely to receive/accuse anything untoward in back. Sitting next to someone is more conducive to having a chat.

I think that's giving too much credit - for most it's the same mistake as axe and ask (you a question).

It's espresso, not expresso.

Capsule is far more expensive over the it's lifetime than something like a Gaggia Classic. Capsules aren't anywhere near the quality of coffee shops, unless you're counting Dunkin.

Working in higher ed, I'd say it's more likely your university is filtering it as spam before it ever hits your inbox. Bitcoin and it's ilk are giant red flags for over-protective systems. (I'm not endorsing it, just trying to give some advice).

I'm an Australian, originally here on E3, then H1-B, now green card. I got stuck on just such a trip, to Barcelona. The local US embassy called the wrong number to notify me of my updated passport (which was delivered to a post office only a couple of blocks away, which I wouldn't find out for weeks), and never tried again.

I was stuck for a month, with no possible way of getting back to the US. It's a truly sickening, horrifying feeling, that the only solution is to blow up your life and go back where you came from.

I was extremely lucky that my employers lawyers cajoled them into communication before my money completely ran out.

I'm from Melbourne, living in Boston. There's an entire middle class waiting to explode. There's rampant underemployment, rising credit card debt, and my entire generation has given up on the notion of ever fully owning a home. There's many many reasons why I moved to the U.S.

Your 'try me out' section is cut in half, with a need to scroll down, on a large laptop screen.

Having that footer be a fixed overlay may be fine on giant desktop monitor, but the website is pretty terrible on a smaller one.

edit: I stand corrected. It stays awful no matter what the screen size...
