null | poco | null | Showing that they need a person is all smoke and mirrors and using the right words to describe the job or applicant. Those sorts of rules are worked around all the time by people who know what to say.
Going by pay means that the only way to work around it is to pay them and require the worker to pay it back. Much harder to hide and easy to get caught.
If they are the best then they are worth the money and are already being paid that amount. Someone worth $200,000 is already being paid that much. Increasing the minimum pay does limit the visa applicants to those worth more, but that leaves locals who are less expert to do the job.
The question is whether there are really that many experts in anything only worth $100,000 that can't be found in the US? Programmers are, if nothing else, fast learners and can figure out what they need to do.

null | jacobbeasley | null | We have limited H1B spots and I think we should give those spots to the best engineers. The way the H1B program is *supposed* to work is that you are supposed to have tried to hire US engineers, done a market study of industry rates, then found an H1B worker for rates well above market. Then, you bring in the H1B worker for rates well above market.
What has happened for organizations like Infosys and TCS, however, is that they have sometimes "creatively classified" employees as incorrect job categories in order to be able to pay them $70k/year. For example, they might call them an "associate quality assurance engineer", however they actually have 15 years of experience. So, there is no way they are associates. In other words, they are committing fraud because they are misrepresenting the work they are doing on H1B applications. That is why the Trump memo, like most of his stuff, simply is saying that he will be enforcing the laws that are on the books.

null | programmingguy | null | Andhra Pradesh is a state in Southern India which has a reputation of churning out a large number of folks who have no qualms about cheating the system without even having a second thought that they are blatantly breaking the law through fraud. Bodyshops based in the US and run by Andhras have made faking profiles a cottage industry (fake resumes, sending in other people to take technical interviews on phone, even video conference call interviews are faked by voice over, someone else listening in through a phone connected through ear phones to the candidate or slowing network speed to make images blurry, removing MS degree from their resume and filling that gap with fake experience, putting fake experience etc). Sometimes having them in a senior position in the company make them susceptible to getting hooked up with a bodyshop run by an Andhra (or even a non-Andhra) who will pay commission through backdoor channels for getting people in.
Now having said this, not all people from that state are like this and you will find plenty of Indians from other states who indulge in similar behavior but they have earned a reputation of making this into a profession. I personally know many folks from there who are truly honest and talented. But I have personally interviewed tons of fake profiles and have got frustrated with the level of fakery so much so that I refused to take any more technical interviews because it was a pure waste of time and warned management that they should simply bar companies that bring in profiles like these. I know other teams where the interviewing manager got pissed off when the candidate that arrived was nothing like the candidate he initially interviewed on phone. | null | 0 | 1491280456 | False | 0 | dfsxpmg | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsx3un | null | 1493778424 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Sure, it's a constant factor difference in circuit complexity, perhaps you could make some sort of argument that the transistors could be spared at this point, but so long as processors are built on binary logic, you're not going to end up with cheaper, faster, or more energy efficient circuits by simulating decimal.
It's also not as if those wouldn't have their own, different, rounding errors.

But fast and loose reasoning is morally correct, so you can take any programming language which allows nulls, invent an equivalent language _without_ nulls, write a program in your imaginary language, and run it in the real one!
The actual problem is not `null`, it's inconsistent semantics, because those make the subset of the real language you can use smaller and smaller. Or missing semantics, which often means "whatever the compiler decides is cool."
It may be a complex solution to have real and imaginary parts, but it's been used to write proven software in C. Or perhaps C+Ci. | null | 0 | 1491282214 | False | 0 | dfsyoed | t3_63auwj | null | null | t1_dfsw5r8 | null | 1493778898 | 7 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
