This is for immigrant visa, not work visa. I think you got it all wrong.

Re:Ask HN: Do you still use Search Engines? on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @08:01PM (#43627653)
I remember reading a thread on Reddit[1] where someone argued that Google stocks will go down coz no one uses search engine but the person was overwhelmed by investors who still believed in Google

Yes, many a times.

Just an essay in ego-bashing and showing off. While I don’t deny the author is self-made, highly successful for his age and ultra-rich, this essay is just an attempt to stroke his ego.

It’s evident in the paragraph below where he said he’s leaving DOGE to “save our government”. The writer lacks clarity and coherence of thought. How exactly is he saving the government after his DOGE stint?

>>So, after 4 intense and intoxicating weeks, I called off my plans to move to DC and embark on a journey to save our government with some of the smartest people I’ve ever met. And I booked a 1-way ticket to Hawaii.

Studying physics in the jungle, focusing on my insecurities

So now I’m in Hawaii. I’m learning physics. Why? The reason I tell myself is to build up my first principles foundation so I can start a company that manufactures real world things. It seems plausible, but I’m learning to just accept that I am happy learning physics. That’s the goal in and of itself.

Re:Have McKinsey and its consulting rivals got too big? on Sunday October 20, 2024 @09:57PM (#41900077)
Glad you mention this.

Last year, we had 2 consultants hired from some Big 4 consultancy. The manager told us to give them whatever info they need. They came with us on a grand total of 2 calls. The scheduled 3rd call we could not attend coz of overlapping schedules. They never bothered blocking my calendar and I never heard from them again.

I reckon the manager wanted to use them for some political purposes.

I heard the same about McKinsey

How is the work culture overall? I am of the opinion they are ruthless and will cull you if they think you are underperforming.

The Register is one of the few websites on the internet which makes tech articles worth reading. They make the reader realize the significance of tech, who might otherwise pass it off as nuances which only nerds should be aware of.
You failed to take into account US allies like Japan, Phillipines, South Korea and India which are more than ready to help us bring down PLA.
I totally disagree with the last paragraph. Shedding blood != waging war. China has never dared until now, and will never dare in the future, to engage in a heads-on conflict against the USA. It has skirmishes and conflicts with almost every neighbour. The PRC defence forces do not have the worldwide fighting experience which the US has. Nuclear deterrence acts strongly against the PRC, and they won’t do anything stupid against Taiwan as long as US Navy is positioned in their backyard.
