I really wish I could do this. This is privilege that H1Bs don't have. I hate my job despite it being well-paid ($900k/yr). I wish the system were more equal.

I've a 150mbps plan but I get only 40mbps most mornings. There are remote locations in India that have fiber and get 80mbps throughout the day.

Wondering if you could alternate day fasting on weekends. Social life on Saturday evening and restrict yourself to 500 calories on Sunday. I struggle with this as well. Just curiou…

Were you able to sleep without problems? The biggest problem for me was not being able to sleep or waking up in the middle of the night due to hunger.

This is exactly what I posted a while back about my situation - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17938307 . I turn down VP Eng roles almost every day and internally cry every t…

I don't think it's helpful to copy what they do as CEO. I look for what they did in their lowest paying job and how they changed as they progressed in their careers. Of course, ver…

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An onion a day keeps everybody away.

:). That's a positive way to look at it.

With premium processing suspended, most H1B employees regardless of how much they are paid or how qualified they are, are indentured slaves currently. I've 3 approved I-140s, 15 ye…

+1000. I have too many interests and cannot focus on one thing. Lack of a strong hobby (except computers) in my childhood could be a reason for it.

I'm currently at an exec-level role making $450k and just landed a juicy role which is interesting and pays more than $550k but of course I can't change jobs because of this decisi…

Why is their stance deemed as political and not humanitarian?

If you made $500,000 with the video editing suite in those 10 years, it was probably worth it.

I agree with the GP. The book just went round and round on the same topic. You'll be better off reading a summary on Blinkist or elsewhere.

They have all this but no 2FA. Also, their password limit was like 8 or 10 characters till recently.

Now they'll keep paying that and have a $2k clothes hanger at home.

No, it doesn't. It just says that they were connected to the protests.

Is there a service for doing your laundry (at your home) and folding your clothes?

Add me to that list. Became sole breadwinner at 22 for a family that had $2M in debt due to failed business. At one point, I was held hostage at gun point by a debt collector. Deep…

The only reason I'm addicted to my smartphone is because my work email is connected to it. I've fallen into this habit of checking my work email every few minutes to make sure ther…

Uber for Digestion

I was laid off once. Got a call from my VP when I was on my vacation. It was an extremely painful experience since I had been repeatedly told that I was a good performer and was cr…

Can I ask what your situation is? I've been here for 16 years and no green card in sight. For those claiming cheap labor, my employer pays me $500k/yr and none of it was negotiated…
