Paysa's numbers are a lot closer to my experience: https://www.paysa.com/salaries/google--senior-software-engin...

These claims have very little in common with the facts on the ground. A Google engineer can afford a condo five miles away in Sunnyvale ($700k), or a house ($1M) if they have a par…

Because the visas are distributed by lottery, and the largest number of applications are filed by Isfosys-type spammers. People with >$130k jobs in SV are being denied due to the $…

This decision is not relevant to something like an AWS instance in the EU.

Whether it is "your problem" or "their problem" depends on what you can do about it.

Have you tried offering internationally competitive salaries?

I'm really curious how this revocation of visas works in combination with the 90-day limit on the executive order. If the executive order is not extended, can they be un-revoked?

I'm not saying it's morally right or wrong. I'm just saying the set of people that get H1B visas will change, and the shift will be toward higher-end jobs.

Because it will become easier to import someone who is more qualified.

It should make it easier for Americans to get the jobs Infosys is hiring for at $70k, and harder for Americans to get jobs from Google at $250k.

The most economically productive businesses are located in the most expensive areas, because they get the highest ROI from hiring top employees. Skilled workers get paid less in MS…

How do you figure? Right now, consulting companies spam the lottery with shitty jobs. With the new system favoring quality $130k+ jobs there will be a bigger supply of good H1Bs to…

VC subsidy or no, a car service with the medallion capital cost will end up costing more than one without.

If the Department of Labor drops their lawsuit against Palantir, he will have already gotten his money's worth.

I know people at the first two companies who work in SF. Not sure about the rest of the list.

How do you plan the help the US residents stranded overseas?

These police are employed by the DC city government, which is run by Democrats. Link to arrests of journalists which took place before Trump was president: https://www.google.com/s…

That's not great evidence on where poor people are more likely to stay poor. You'd want to pick a level of purchasing power that counts as poor, a level that counts as not poor, an…

Trump seems pretty unstable if you believe the leaks from the White House: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/22/us/politics/donald-tru...

The Congress that impeached Clinton was controlled by Republicans. If Democrats take over Congress in 2018 it becomes a lot more likely that Trump is impeached.

I can only guess, but the price is high enough that common share return probably = preferred share. Suppose you joined after the Jan 2013 round and took $100k of options over 4 yea…

Your comment is vague, but if you are talking about US election polls, they were 1-2% off in aggregate. That's a pretty good performance.
