OP didn't state their exact country, but E-2 visa may be applicable. It's not just for investors/business starters. Companies that are privately owned by people from E-2 countries …

No. But also very much yes, if you're talking about the economy as a whole. Transport is massively profitable for the economy but not for the transport companies themselves, they s…

They never specified H1B. They were probably on a treaty visa, Like E2 (which i have, it's not just for business owners/investors, employees can get this too) or T2 (The NAFTA equi…

In as much as anyone has to respect the copyright coming from any jurisdiction they are not in. Which for the most of the world generally means that, yes, you do have to respect it…

I don't think so. I think Covid was unique in that it occupied a sweet-spot in it's severity. A more severe virus would play out very differently. I don't think we'd see such a hug…

If the company supplies the hardware and software as a bundled unit, they are much more able to arbitrarily restrict and wall-in the device. It's just how the law works. This is ho…

I'm so conflicted about this move. On one hand you've got a generation that is being held back by these loans. The very people that are supposed to be starting businesses/building …

It looks like with a series of changes they were able to mitigate the issue almost completely, but it's still there and the motherboard is obviously deficient in some way. They men…

While you may prefer it when people pull their masks down to talk to you. I would bet there's going to be another lipreader who would be aghast if i were to pull my mask down to ta…

It's been an ongoing story ramping up since May, but this I believe is the main story with all the research they did. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58255865

Doubt it. This IMO is probably the best PR maneuver ever conceived. I doubt they ever planned to do it. The BBC was just about to release a long-researched exposé about all the mod…

So i don't necessarily like OnlyFans and I think it's a dangerous game to play for contributors. That said, why are payment processors deciding which businesses get to exist? I und…

Important addition I'd like to add here is that you almost certainly won't owe any US tax. You just need to file the return. AFAIK You get a crazy high deduction and can also deduc…

> Given that the vast majority breakups are initiated by women I suspect what the poster meant to write was that most divorces are initiated by women. Which is a different statisti…

I'm not referring the technology itself. That's actually quite useful with real-world applications that may be worth investing in. The ticketing use case and also Gamestop's rumore…

I recently heard someone say "I'm not stupid enough to make money in this market", and I think it rings very true. With the short squeeze speculation on stocks, the crypto run+cras…

So I'm also European, but we are absolutely not an example to follow here. Our retirements are absolutely in danger, we just haven't collectively realized it yet. I wouldn't be sur…

It all comes down to the fact that women in general don't see small/absent pockets as much of a factor when buying pants, while men typically do. Those pockets cost money to put in…

Ugh. This is really shallow analysis. * Solar is the only form of renewable energy where this is a potential problem and there are already solutions that actually exist. Solar farm…

Something does have to give. Why you think it should be the students is a total mystery to me though. The university is irresponsibly forcing the students to come on campus to stud…

Does this tax work actually work? Surely the amount of people who actually pay the tax is near 0 and they'd get far more tax revenue from a lower tax rate right? I'd actually bet t…

From what I've read, in the case of commercial lets there's a good reason for this. The companies that manage these properties acquire/refinance loans based on the value of their a…

There's a guideline on this site to assume that the poster is acting in good faith and not to take the worst interpretation of what someone is saying. They almost certainly meant t…

Improving performance after the fact is a lot harder than you might think, depending on the nature of your application and it's users behavior, it can be a very steep uphill strugg…
