This "indentured" thing does not work well for immigration. When layoff, or merger, or outsourcing comes, H1B workers are much easier to get rid of than citizens. Because of the huge backlog of IT immigrants, H1B is a very risky business unless you just want to work hard for a few years and then leave.
If you have security clearance to access the codebase, there is nothing wrong for you to become the master of the code you have access to (for a programmer, owning code means a thorough understanding of the code) . It's only espionage if you reveal that to someone else. In actual espionage, most people don't really bother to understand the thing, but they just copy the whole thing.
Of course the real issue, as others have pointed out, is when the whole codebase becomes useless at a merger. The core technology of a bank is banking, not programming, which is just a tool in this context. If you own advanced technology of the core business, you job is very secure.
Passing laws, or guidelines, whatever the name, that are not always enforced gives politicians the power to decide when, where, and to whom, to enforce the law. Albert Einstein once commented on this and called it a great injustice.
But in practice it is treated as a dual purpose visa. The significance is that such a visa holder can have the intention to immigrate. For other non-immigrant visa holders such an intention could cause deny of visa at request, such as F1.
No, the solution to fight bias is not to elect even more biased people (believe me, they are). The USA needs more George Washingtons, but that kind of person doesn't have a specific nationality.
It's not necessarily about low salary. Foreign workers, especially those form Asia, are far more obedient. Some might even be sycophants. Do-nothing managers love them.
There are two things in the American system that are invaluable for Chinese students: English and textbooks.
The ruling class in China have for the past 2000 yeas adopted a policy of manipulating the language to make people obedient. This has been going on for so many generations that now even the upper class themselves have to resort to foreign sources for proper education.
I know this is difficult to believe. Can one of the oldest surviving civilizations be so corrupted? Actually this kind of culture is very resistant to any change and thus achieve a strong cultural grip on next generations. Of course the disadvantage is stagnancy and lost opportunity for people to pursue their full potential.
The current trend of foreign education is definitely good for China, especially if students start that at an early age. The Chinese education system is designed to indoctrinate for the purpose of totalitarianism. But it is very difficult for young people to see through that, for the same reason that sophism has existed. I hope Chinese students who have had the opportunity to receive liberal education will awaken to China's intellectual reality and start thinking of ways to change the intellectual side of Chinese culture.
Science also observes time, and thus goes beyond "already". More importantly, science also includes how we use words, especially the word "exist". I'd say the whole thing is about disagreement on what is existence.
To be more precise, the sun will become a red giant in about 5 billions, engulf the earth, and eventually fade as a white dwarf, whose volume is about the same as the earth.
I think there is one part in your brain that you don't want to replace. If you do, you'd effectively have committed suicide. (hint the most import part of the computer is...).
Many initial investors of FB sold at IPO or even higher. They probably had this in mind when buy instagram on where to get the cash. Now other investors buying at IPO or higher are suing.
To make things worse, FB has to do the same things google has been doing for years in order to grow like google. Though far from perfect, gmail, gdoc, mobile are great. It is really hard to see how FB can out-do that. When google went IPO, its future seemed ahead. This time it seems FB just jumped the shark.
If you, as outsider, read a programming book, you will encounter terms like Central Processing Unit. You'll probably have no idea what that is and but you can take a wild guess without even looking up at all. You might also encounter a term like "recursive". Here looking up doesn't help as it is not something you can usually see in the physical world. But there is no need to worry. Because that is such a fundamental concept in programming, you'll learn it to such a degree that you start to use it outside of programming and make others calls you geek.
I have read a lot of articles on Wikipedia, some of them are very deep. Is the quality of the book on, or above the level of Wikipedia?

only if you call automobiles replacing horses is robbery.
I am opposed to all immigration as it tends to harm both the source and destination countries.
If you were born and raised in the USA I'd be very curious to know why you think like that.

What's the reason for the feature of renegotiation? Why not just timeout and re-connect?
You better hope not. If there was a meltdown there caused by a US virus, you could image what might happen over here.

I am instead surprised that it took us that many millions of years to start becoming civilized.
You are truly a Marxist.
The No 1 rule of War is to end the war, including the desire to continue by either side. It is not to win the war. Big difference.
like when the sun will become a red giant, or when the Milky Way merges with its neighbor...

Capital gain tax.
Thanks for the explanation. Guess even ./ is full of suckers.

The IRS reaped huge tax. That's why.
