My personal experience, and I think the optimal case, is to come on L1 but apply to H1B via consular interview. This way, if you're ever fired from your job, you use the H1B to get authorization to work in a new company (need to leave the US and get a visa in a consulate), while keeping L1 benefits as possible (spouse can work and no lottery).

E-2 is not available to all countries.

Percentage of "useful content" is likely the same (or better) than the open web, though.

Are you american? As a non-american living in the US, the statement from parent post sounds about right to me. Culturally, people sound very confident, even when they have little to no confidence on the content.

I REALLY miss Phabricator, Scuba and (gasp) Tasks. Would love to have those back in industry. Far better than Github, Superset (?) and of course the dreadful Jira I have to use these days.

And I'm still salty about it.

Not only that. This is about a Brazilian app that only works in Brazil. There are similar concepts in Brazilian law but it certainly doesn't use whatever way US define libel.

Think most Brazilians would disagree Brazil was favorite in 2002. It was a very messy campaign before getting to the world cup.

I just found out this now and I'm upset. I've been a paying user for a long time and won't use attachments anymore. Might as well consider migrating to a different password manager to migrate my attachments. Thanks for letting me know.

I've been using macs for 9 years and never knew about option+click. Granted I've been using apps for window management since forever as the native tools suck or are almost hidden.

There's always risk of having your visa denied when changing jobs and plenty of situations where you get in a really bad place with something out of your control.

I know plenty of people that stick to a sub-optimal job out of fear of being stuck out of the US.

Changing jobs is very stressful on an H1B visa.

I really want Firefox to succeed, but I got this behavior since Quantum was launched. I'm still hopeful to see it solved.

In which city do you work? If you go to a big IT center in Brazil such as São Paulo or Campinas, $20k/year is just a little over the starting salary for a new grad from a top school. There's LOTS of worse positions, but this is not really that hard to find, considering that HN crowd is probably more qualified than the average developer...

Not really. Last week my dad came to visit me and forwarded the airline's email with the time of the flight. Google Now correctly stated the time I should leave to catch him at the airport. Seems to work fine for me on this issue.

The thing is that the competition is fierce in this field. To see that, just look at the number of mergers: Nokia and Siemens, Alcatel and Lucent etc.

The chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE lowered the margins and really shook the market some years ago.

Personally, I don't imagine a bright future for those companies. So I'm with the selling strategy. I worked at a competitor of those companies based in Brazil. The scenario wasn't pretty when I left.
