null | geekgrrl0 | null | Is it lower town and not uptown? I always get it confused... Thanks for the correction. Guess it's part of there being 2 metro downtowns within 10 miles of each other 😁
I like it here. I've lived in super high cost of living places (Frisco, CO, Big Sky, MT, Santa Fe, NM). In my perspective, St Paul is great and affordable and I can actually take my wage and pay my student loans in huge chunks (along with other debt) rather than funneling it into housing/transportation/food.
You are right, some areas in St Paul aren't that great. But just be smart and you can find a nice place that's not janky. It still has a lot of options. Again, it's just my opinion that it's great and it's your opinion that it's not. I still think you can find better housing deals than Seattle, not even going to mention SF! But if the Twin Cities aren't your thing, they aren't. Thankfully the USA is pretty big and there's opportunities everywhere, sometimes you just have to make them yourself. My point is that you don't have to struggle too hard here with a $100k tech job. YMMV (we all have different things that we value in housing, location, weather...life in general!)
I do horribly miss the mountains living here. I won't live here forever because being in the mountains is too important. But I'd like to live in them with no debt 🏔️ Just so you don't think SP, MN is my paradise lol | null | 0 | 1491312803 | 1491313365 | 0 | dftbocq | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsi10l | null | 1493785184 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

As for companies, yes, h1bs are 100% about reducing cost. Yes, there are companies that do promote good h1bs normally once in the company, but their starting wages are lower.
Don't think the savings have to be something drastic like 50%. Overall a larger company is probably saving 10-30% on payroll by hiring h1bs. They don't hire purely h1bs, as they need americans to teach them.

null | [deleted] | null | I agree with you, but seems in the real world every time i try to play the game of striving for correctness, a half working fast and dirty solution is more valued. Only when we lose do we reflect on not having correctness, but then repeat the same mistakes over again. Like an Ouroboros of failure.
I'm definitely not one to overly champion a specific cause or force my views on others. I've even tried to demonstrate to people at the local meetup who are javascript and python programmers etc, the advantages of correctness. When they post coding problems, i solve them in haskell, explain and comment them..I don't push any language on them i simply put it out there, and receive "wow very concise" etc, but beyond that no one seems interested in leaving their bubbles, and these are the same issues I run into at work.
Most people just look at me like I'm crazy :( I shrug, and code in their languages with their styles which eschew everything you mentioned, with the hopes that one day someone, something can get through to them.
I can tell you one thing, broken software has made the entire industry very uninteresting to me.. it's everywhere; And the person who says I'm done first, 20 defects to fix over the coming months seems to currently have won.
Basically what is correctness, is it something mathematical? is it something philosophical? help me better define this word so I can hope to find ways to better explain it's merits to others. | null | 0 | 1491315079 | False | 0 | dftdf4o | t3_6355if | null | null | t1_dfrqa2w | null | 1493786023 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

I'm sure American professors taught him how to do his research in wireless communication that helped him land a job. I guess I should include myself since I went to grad school and study two combined disciplines.
Perhaps you meant training instead of teaching. And that also happens within Americans. I mean, I shouldn't even mention nationalities.

the insurance tells me that the bill was 2700, so that i feel better about paying them 400 a month (well, my employer, but that's what it costs to employ me, and it could have been salary)
In fact the insurance probably paid 1/4 of that to the hospital. (minus my 200$ copay - they probably paid ~300 to the hospital) I think that the prices in france are ~7 or 8 times cheaper because
A. healthcare is not for profit
B. The hospitals don't have to mark up the costs to cover all the people who don't pay, (or go bankrupt.)
