Cringely doesn't understand the difference between immigrant and non-immigrant visas if he recommends the EB-2 as an alternative to the H-1B. The EB-2 is a green card application for a foreign worker who wants to live in the US permane

Great story. Very impressed by your persistence and creativity, and congratulations on your success. I think the concept of employers applying for a green card for employees is fundamentally broken. It pits the interests of the employer dir

The author's definition of "full stack" is rather strange, as others have noted. But as the client side of web applications becomes more complex, it's true that it's harder for the same programmer to develop both th

I find this conflating of the US as a country and the US Government annoying. Megan Smith is the CTO of the US Federal Government, which is an entity separate from the US as a country. It doesn't make sense for a country to have a &quo

The weather might be something to take into account. Personally, I wouldn't want to live in far northern countries like Norway because of the limited sunlight hours in winter. I've found that more than the temperature, it's s

Great article. For me personally, the issue is not so much dying but aging. Seeing your hair thin, your eyesight deteriorate, your memory weaken and your energy decrease with time must be a profoundly depressing experience -- one of the maj

This article might not be applicable to that many people. My guess is that many people are actually happiest working on things that are given to them. Working on your own projects requires that you think of an idea, and have the self-discip

I generally enjoy admitting ignorance and asking questions that seem dumb as a way of educating myself. You do have to be mindful of who you do this with. The person you're speaking with has to have a certain level of maturity themselv

Thanks for the reply. What about the additional latency of sending the rendered framebuffer to the local graphics card after it's received from the cloud? It seems like you're right on the edge of being able to do one-frame latenc

It's not clear to me from the announcement which parts are executed server-side and which client-side. Companies like iSwifter have tried to do server-side-rendered, streamed Flash games for years with limited success. The local machin

As nl mentioned below, I thought it was obvious that this was in response to the list of countries in the article -- NZ, Australia, South Africa and so on. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yes, there are several. I mentioned two in my post above, so it's unfair of you to say that all I did was make accusations of isms. Here they are, repeated: 1. The fact that the (very large) number of Indian soldiers in WW2 was slipped

There are really two different types of H-1B employees: those who've studied at a US university but are foreign citizens, and workers brought in from outside the country directly to fill a position. There is very little distinction mad

This already exists as a practical matter. According to current rules (specifically, the AC21 act), H-1B workers can start working at a new employer as soon an H-1B transfer application is filed by their new company. There is no need to eve
