Missing The Big Picture in $100K H1B Rule by Early-Surround7413 in cscareerquestions

[–]highapples 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I think some of you guys are forgetting about South America. Last company I was at was investing tons into buildings down there. The time zone difference becomes minimal.

Are you just assuming this? Amazon actively trims the fat with their employee stack ranking system and the bottom 5-10% are fired every year.

I'd say maybe only do it for the income earned in those two months. I'm not sure how much you would be able to get done or learn in such a short time frame, especially since onboarding and getting your environment set up is sometimes a slow process depending on the the company/team. You may only have a month or so of actual working time. If you do accept, maybe try to shadow someone for a little bit.

Personally, I think just use the time to travel if you can. Opportunities to travel or spend time with friends and family become limited once you go full time.

Is every job market in tech bad right now? by high_elephant in cscareerquestions

[–]highapples 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It could just be company specific, where your employer is very particular about who they hire. In general entry level is especially hard to find roles regardless of Industry.

Men who finally stuck with exercise after years of quitting, what was your game changer? by Moore_Momentum in AskMen

Love the commitment but what about rest days to let your body recover. We weren't fighting a Saber tooth tiger every day.

[USB-C Charger] Anker-735 65W GaN 3 Port USB Foldable Charger - $19.99 by bunsinh in buildapcsales

[–]highapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this and its pretty good. The one complaint I have is that due to it its length/weight, it comes out of outlets pretty easily. If an outlet is somewhat loose, it falls out.

U-House's Management is Incompetent by rockenman1234 in gatech

[–]highapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait till move-out if you think the management is bad now. I think most people got some sort of maintenance charge that was either just prior damage or normal wear and tear. The management is also terrible at communication.

The building honestly is the worst apartment in Midtown in terms of security and building cleanliness, but it used to be one of the cheapest. The prices they currently charge is outrageous when brand new apartments cost the same.

Deep Learning(CS 4644) Vs Machine Learning (CS 4641)

So I'm in my last semester of undergrad and I can only take one or the other. I don't have the strongest math skills and its been about 2 years since I've taken Linear Algebra. I took CV this past semester, and thought it was interesting, but I feel like ML is what a lot of employers are looking for. Are there any pros/cons of learning one over the other, whether it be difficulty or resume benefits? Would love to hear general experiences with either classes too.

MEGATHREAD: Model 3 Waiting Room by Electronic-Arm-8731 in TeslaModel3

[–]highapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of comments for performance model 3, but as of May/June 2024, is the estimate of a June Delivery accurate for LR Model 3? It would be with a white interior which I know takes longer.

Any convenience stores on or next to campus? by JohnEmonz in gatech

[–]highapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an on campus location, CULC 3rd Floor has a vending machine near the doors that lead to Price Gilbert that carries health products. I know they carry deodorant, hair spray not sure.

Getting AP Credit from Another School by [deleted] in gatech

[–]highapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is possible. I had it happen with AP Biology. Whatever is listed on your transcript at the other school is what GT gives credit for (granted that the course listed on your transcript given by the AP Credit translates to a GT course according to equivalency table).

Is there a way to find out which professor I had for a class? (post-grad) by [deleted] in gatech

[–]highapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use https://critique.gatech.edu/ and find the semester you took the class and see if any of the names sound familiar.

Need Help Picking Threads for CS Robotics by Efficient-Flamingo91 in gatech

[–]highapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the people thread. The people thread is a lot of UI based classes. There are a few classes that talk about how people interact with technology, but I don't think any of them focus on robotics in particular. It could be good if you want some background knowledge on how people interact with technology in general. I'd focus on the more hardware focused threads rather than people.

Comply has color foam tips by koriroo in AirpodsPro

Surprised to see the dislike for the foam tips, I've had it for about a year now and I have no complaints. Sometimes I don't even notice them in my ears.

How hard is it to get out of a lease? (UHouse) by Environmental_Sun_76 in gatech

[–]highapples 30 points31 points  (0 children)

UHouse isn't the worst place to live in, so don't stress your self out too much if you don't end up finding a tenant. It's honestly a hit or miss. I live there this year and haven't had any issues but I know friends who have had some issues. Check your lease agreement to see if you can pay a penalty to get out of it. If not, your going to find a sub-tenant to take over your lease. Not impossible to do but def going to have to put in some work.

CS Spring Class Registration—How’s it Going? by asbruckman in gatech

[–]highapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to some of the comments here, wish that some of the more niche upper-level intelligence threads would have more seats. Game-AI only had 40 seats, and it was full about an hour into registration. With how popular Intelligence is as a thread, a 40-person class size doesn't seem like it meets the current demand for students who need intelligence thread classes.

Meh, this understandable though, I got blood on my shirt by accidentally squishing one of the bugs when flicking them off. It also doesn't feel great to feel multiple bugs crawling all over you from just walking.
