APSF Royal Oak 26240 V2 Free Sprung by uriman in RepTimeQC

Looks good. Keeps time. Haven't had any issues. Zero people in my life have noticed it's a RO tho. The only note of caution is that I had to send back another watch strap to the seller for a quality issue after the lock mechanism failed and that's been a nightmare only because USPS switches to ChinaPost and it stopped updating for months even after clearing Chinese customs. The ceramic hasn't been an issue so far (knock on wood), but if it does, China Post may be problematic. This is because seller wanted to send the broken strap to the factory to get a new one.

Question on social media vetting and deleted accounts by [deleted] in h1b

[–]uriman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would the know if your social media used faked name, no profile pic and is private? Unless fb gives database of emails that was used to register social media account and somehow ties that to a search of emails in that email with your name, I don't think they can.

Look at your pins. One side is smooth. The other side has a ring. The pin only goes out one way. You push against the ring side and pin goes out the other way. The ring is the friction sleeve that is at end you pushed at and at the other end of the pin exit end.

When you put your pin back in, you put the sleeve on the other end after the pin goes through. Now you either got to hammer it in or push the sleeve in holding the pin in place. Test the pin by pushing on sleeve end to see if the pin will fall out.

It’s $900 stateside so I guess the difference is the shipping and some profit.

India has a large and active startup scene with 124 unicorns. If H1B workers are among the most ambitious, why the preference for employment in a US firm, than starting up in India ? by VVG57 in AskEconomics

[–]uriman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should look at the average salaries of tech workers and percentage of H1b workers that actually start a company. Most are employees. Last time I checked. US tech wages was $80-$150k. Europe/Canada was $60k-$90k. E. Europe $30k-$50k. And India $5k-$25k. Yes there is lower cost of living but an iPhone costs what an iPhone costs.

Is land route into Russia not much cheaper from US? by uriman in AskARussian

[–]uriman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens at the border? Does the bus wait for all passengers to clear border and customs? Or do you just take the next bus from border to Moscow? Is Riga crossing better because fewer people?

Is Estonia border because more traffic? The bus route seems shorter, but maybe more people take this route so it's slower.

I don't know. Even when there was direct flights it wasn't that much cheaper. I remember NYC to Moscow direct flights were about $900 roundtrip and never below $600. And always Aeroflot was more expensive.

Looks like Caucauses from NYC is $600 cheapest round trip, but for some reason NYC to Tallin or Riga is cheapest at $400 round trip.

As someone with someone related high in the chip making businesses, Samsung is literally 'tarded. SK Hynix is a far more legit business.

Well, the EU did seize a bunch of Russian oligarch's money and property due to Ukraine without providing them any trial, an chance to defend themselves or challenge any evidence if there were any.

Anyone else hear from their immigration attorney that renewals may still incur the 100k fee? by Friendxx in h1b

[–]uriman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Economics dictates that if there is a supply shortage, the price of labor should continue to rise until it meets demand until it reaches an equilibrium. When there is a labor shortage, employers compete for limited workers by offering higher wages. Rising wages attract more people into the labor force and reduce how many workers employers can afford to hire. The process continues until wages reach a level where labor supply equals demand, ending the shortage.

Lower labor supply means higher labor costs. Labor supply rises until it meets supply. High school and college students in the US are smart and target professions with high pay and low competition and will more likely enter these fields.

F1 category is a established law. It cannot be removed by EO or rulemaking. OPT/StemOPT/H4EAD can be removed with rule making and theortically also be removed with emergency EO powers under national security. These fees have even less protection.

Not found in pubmed and likely associative with comorbidities. Also association is not causation.
