What amazes me is how many people in society will abide by rules set by organizations who have shown zero inclination to apply the same standards to themselves.

Give them a couple thousand years to refine their techniques. I’m sure they’d get there.

Confession is to exert power over group members by requiring them to bare their deepest darkest secrets to an authority figure on pain of eternal damnation. Plenty of cults use the same tool. It’s shockingly effective at keeping people obedient and amenable.

The only person asserting that there’s a distinction between the capabilities of tech employees who are here on a visa and people who were born here is you. Having a solid enough understanding of macroeconomics to realize the increased supply of tech talent created by the H1B visa program depresses industry wages hardly makes me a nativist yokel. I’ll keep my thoughts on what your worldview says about you to myself :)

If you’re truly more talented than every single “native” SDE currently working in the US as you claimed, I should hope your pay is astronomical. I suspect though it’s about average though for the industry. As are you. Cope with that :)

> you’ll swallow anything to let you continue believing that beig (sic.) a ‘native’ immediately makes you better qualified than an immigrant.
Says the person who literally claimed they’re better at their job than an entire population containing over 300 million people. Someone is bogarting the copium here, but I don’t think it’s me.
Best of luck in the ongoing layoffs, friend. Let’s hope you don’t find out the hard way that the people whose boots you’re licking so intently don’t think you’re nearly as special as you do.

You have your H1B job because your employer knows they have you over a barrel in a way they can’t reproduce with citizens. The notion you’re literally better at your job than every single American in your field is laughable hubris.

Reply to comment by hawk2202 in Took this photo of a lovely couple enjoying the view of Mt. Rainier. Crystal Mountain, WA. by AdamentPotato
There’s about a 75% chance this view will be completely socked in on any given day in March/April, and the mountain won’t be visible. Think wall of impenetrable fog where this view is. Your odds of having a view improve through April, but it’ll be a crapshoot. As someone else mentioned, the view is accessible by the gondola at Crystal Mountain ski resort, but ymmv on whether there is actually a view, and whether the gondola is closed down due to high winds and/or snow conditions.

Did anyone even make an optical-mechanical mouse in the 80’s? I thought that was early 2000’s tech.

I read their post to mean the same thing you’re describing—that the EU restricts fees on roaming between member states. Their point was that these restrictions won’t necessarily apply in the context of calls made while in flight (why they wouldn’t, I have no idea).
