@ScottWSeattle @engele @Leon300Idas if only they did what voters voted for - everyone in king county still pays for the light rail

honestly, that test is 200 predefined questions, and I knew answers to 150 of them even without even being in US once back at school in my old country. The English test they don’t really test anything but answer one of these questions in English, and write another 4-5 words sentence form the same questions. Ironically my sentence was “George Washington was the first president of the United States”.

@info_maiden he couldn’t get a visa without a degree that has been accredited and approved by USCIS (been there)

@ChiefEngineerCE A friend of mine was recently laid off when they did it (US citizen, 90% of company H1bs and moving more to India). Their CEO (a public company btw) literally cried during the all hands when Trump was elected.

@michaeljknowles it's simple, you just need someone who is not a retard. sadly those are pretty rare nowadays, especially at LA/NY/etc

[Stan @stanbeingmean]

@Reversion0815 @Nick_Davidov @grok double check if Nick's statements are true or not

[Stan @stanbeingmean]

@Nick_Davidov how long do you wait for tesla repairs in Bay Area?

[Stan @stanbeingmean]

@Prominent_Bryan mandatory in Japan

[Stan @stanbeingmean]

@battleangelviv well, its still pretty rare in bay area, or the ACs are from 80s, until you are in the new apartment buildings (which are also pretty rare and 3x more expensive)

As someone who came to the US on a working visa, spent 12 years here, and became a naturalized citizen, contributing millions of direct dollars from my taxes alone, I say the new immigration law is total bullshit and doesn't protect Americans. Yes, there is a lot of scamming by “body shop” companies, but instead of addressing those, which operate in a legal gray zone, we will now deter brilliant people from coming here. There is literally no way they can work remotely from another country while waiting years for a green card. Instead of targeting companies that bring low-valued software labor, we now make legitimate companies struggle to hire.

As someone who's been in the industry at top FAANG companies for a long time, the main problem with Apple is their own caste system. If someone fails, they will never hire a great person in the proper field but would rather put someone else from another internal team in that spot. They basically rotate people around, with many engineers not even able to do simple coding.
