Except for the fact that your US immigration story will fully depend on where you're born. No amount Canada/Mexico/UK citizenship can change that place of birth, and the US will treat this generation of Indians/Chinese t

My friend, there's a huge difference between family based green cards (FB categories) and employment based (EB). The wait times change from 1-10 years in the former [1] to 100 in the latter [2]. A normal indian cannot go through family

This is really surprising to me. Compared to other high paying paths (medicine, law, MBA, finance), STEM degrees offer a much shorter completion time, lower debt, and higher starting salary. This holds even for engineering jobs, completely

The main person behind Microsoft's award winning ResNet, Kaiming He, left for Facebook AI research last year. This work looks like it builds upon the previous work done on Residual Networks (ResNet).

The median would definitely be lower. I'd wager money on this. The mean is skewed upwards thanks to executives earning USD 1 million+ . The median would just treat these people as being above the 50th percentile.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get such an increase over 2.5 years? I find it surprising that $200k is possible 2.5 years out of undergrad. Are there any particular opportunities you made use of? I can communicate over mail,

It's probably the only major city in the Southeast, so that could be a factor. Drive an hour north from Atlanta, and you'll see confederate flags in this place. I'm not defending Atl, just rationalizing expectations.

Do you require clearances to apply? Do you allow non-citizens to apply? And do you plan sponsor visas in the near future? I couldn't find info on this from the description.

I could refute this by bringing up the carbon footprint of India vs. the US.

That doesn't have to mean everyone needs to have children or everyone needs to have multiple children. I'm not proposing that people curb procreation, just that the logic you proposed does not talk about the magnitude of procreati

I usually use x = tuple((1,) ) so that non-Python programmers on the team know what they're dealing with.

Tragedy of the commons. It definitely benefits everyone if some people stood up, but it's in no one's specific personal interests to be at a comparative disadvantage due to this.

The fact that it underpins so much of our daily life, implying that subsidizing them helps in ensuring those functions still remain intact.

They are forcing countries to extradite accused citizens while refusing to do the same. They have gitmo. They're asking companies like MSFT to collect data that even MSFT is not legally allowed to do. So, yeah, they're more '

Can you name his competitors? I can only recall Salesforce, although I don't know the extent to which their offerings overlap.

I haven't heard of this before. This is pretty interesting. Do you have a source?

I asked someone from the AT&T Atlanta office, and they said they are done hiring. Do you have links to any open intern positions for the Plano position?

Flipkart is not exactly a local company. If I'm right, most of their equity is held by a singaporean holding company. There's also this aspect that a loss-making company cannot go public in India, so Flipkart have structured the

Are you hiring international students for the Software Engineering Internship position? There wouldn't be any sponsorship required - CPT should cover it.

Hi, I cannot see the listing for an engineering intern. Is there an place I can know more about this internship?

Hi, Are you hiring any interns for the summer? What positions would those be?

I applied online for an internship position (in the Computational Geometry team) a couple of months ago. Are you still hiring for those?

The problem is that your kids (male) might have to undergo conscription. I know the situation is changing now, but that was a large deterrant behind a lot of my friends leaving Singapore.

What I've always found surprising is the arrogance that America (and maybe some Americans too, to an extent) displays in this context. In this day and age how is it right that a single country can mandate a requirement on every piece o

I'm not an expert, so apologies if my question is stupid. Why can't the competition have the same test data each week across all participants? So that no matter how many accounts you create, you will train with the same images eve
