  1. Re:This is trouble on US IT Worker Files Hiring Lawsuit Against Infosys, Class Action Proposed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Personally I think any position that is to be sent to a H1B must be posted on a site like USA jobs, then after a certain period of time if no candidate shows up than they can send it over for the visa. All the resumes on the site should be searchable (redacted of identifying data) to ensure they are not cheating. This paid for byt he company wanting to get the visa.

    So you would not hire her because she will sue you if you violate her civil rights? To be honest it sounds like you are violating civil rights.

    unless they are going over seas to get someone claiming she was not qualified for the position, than she is also entitled. If you dont like it find work in your own country, or play by the rules.

    There are a lot of assumptions and bad logic in your post. if they have workplace bias than that needs to be dealt with, telling someone to move on is not the right answer to it.

    She does not have to be more qualified than the Bangladeshi, just qualified for the position. It is a requirement for H1-B that there cannot be an American qualified for the position in order to give that visa.

    Um they have to at least offer her the job for the pay they are willing to pay.. It is a requirement of the H1-B program that they have to have no one qualified. If you are overqualified you are still qualified for the position. That however would lead to an issue of the government seeing that they are not actually paying people market value for their work.

    They are separate issues which can be combined at some point. In our case the issue with be with the mandate of insurance.

    Again how is that in the public interest? Do you want the examiner to have info on every single patent ever issued? Do you know how unrealistic that is? There is no way a single examiner can know every single patent, and all its claims. There is no search engine that can get all that information in a way that can reasonably be consumed or compared.

    The people filing. They should be subject matter experts on the patent. We cannot afford to have government employees who are SMEs on every subject working in the patent office.

  13. Re:Do they get a refund? on Pinch-To-Zoom Apple Patent Rejected By USPTO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How is it wrong? The government is not all knowing, or all seeing. It makes mistakes, and has to correct those mistakes for the public interest. If you penalize the government like you are stating than they will just let these patents stand, contrary to public interest, which will just cause a rise in crappy patents.

    It means that combined, as in added, both regulation and nationalization (IE insured). 2 seperate issues, but you failed to break out the one responsible. One, the insurance, I blamed already.

    except that you added a nationalized system, that is not jsut more regulation, that is more insurance, which the latter means more demand, therefore higher prices.

    Irrelevant who gets the itemized bill. The issue people are having is with the part that "with the fees based in part on how long it takes to complete each one." That is the actual hourly wage for the doctor, not setup, cleanup, assistance, explanation and double checking. That is a different part of the tables

  19. Re:So what. Doctors SHOULD be paid more. on How Outdated Data Distorts Doctors' Pay · · Score: 1

    No, it assumes the tools, and use of the tools (even though in a doctors visit everything is itemized including the tool usage). I have worked for a garage, my mother still does. At $70 an hour the mechanic gets 20-35 (more or less) and the rest goes to the shop for the tools use, bay use and profit. If you are paying 8 hours work but getting 1 hour of actual work, you are being ripped off.

  20. Re:Maybe we could try capitalism & light regul on How Outdated Data Distorts Doctors' Pay · · Score: 1

    Costs have spiraled out of control because of insurance and underregulation. Have you ever looked at a demand chart for medical usage with and without insurance? I have and it is not pretty.

    This is not subjective, and we are not talking about how someone values someone elses work. We are talking about specifically manipulating the data to make more money. IF you went to a mechanic and he told you he was going to charge you $70 a hour for work and it would take 8 hours to do the work, but then gave you the car back in 1 hour would you still be willing to pay for the 8 hours?

    So in order to fix under regulation, we reduce regulation.. To me that does not sound like the fix.

    So what you are saying is we should allow doctors pay to continue growing exponentially, on the governments dime? If it wasnt for medicare/medicaide and other insurances doctors would not make what they do now.

  25. Re:Technology costs? on How Outdated Data Distorts Doctors' Pay · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The bill is usually itemized and accounts for these things. We are talking specifically about how much time the doctor is working on the case of the patient. They are billing at a rate for only being able to do one of these things a day, but are able to do 26, so their pay, at the cost the tax payer, has ballooned.
