The service is offered to families and individuals who are customers of AIGâ(TM)s Private Client Group, typically clients who have real estate or other assets like boats or art with a value of more than $1 million
$1M in assets barely gets you into the top 10% today.
What MANY of the ones I've worked with also say is that they want to come here, make good money, and then go back to India eventually where they will invest in businesses and property and retire. This ain't Slumdog Millionaire starring Dev Patel, kid.
I think that the more recent immigrants from India want to eventually go back, but the ones who have been here a couple of decades are more likely to want to stay.
The Indian government doesn't make its expats welcome to return. India does not allow dual nationality, and full Indian citizenship is required for some things, including buying farmland. An Indian who returns to India without US citizenship must abandon his or her social security payments (you cannot receive Social Security when you retire if you are an Indian citizen living in India).
Imagine this: you live in the slums in Mumbai. Your father goes thru trash every day, hoping to find tin cans to sell, and your mother tries to sell home-made bread on the market to feed all of your 6 brothers and sisters. Now you get the opportunity to get a three year degree in software engineering and go to the U.S. to work for a tech company. You have no clue about all the politics surrounding H1-B in the U.S., and you don't know that you will be grossly underpaid comparing to your American peers.
Bullshit!!!!!
You haven't actually talked to those Indians about their backgrounds.
All those H1B Indians come from wealthy Indian families. Those dirt poor Indians simply don't have the opportunity to get a degree and get to the USA.
Planned Parenthood is a 501(c)(3), a nonprofit corporation, so aren't their officials by definition not public employees?
Do you even know what a 501(c)(3) corporation is? As for being public employees, I'll give you a hint: it's related to the word "corporation".
But let's look at another example. What about people who get jobs in abattoirs in order to record the genuine mistreatment of animals? Should they be prosecuted? How is this different?
A teenager was able to get over the airport fence at San Jose airport a little while ago. I doubt that this airport is unique in not having effective perimeter security.
If you can get over the fence, then anything is possible.
The obvious conclusion is that there are no real terrorists in the USA. None other than the FBI-invented bomb plots.
Yes, in the same way that I would have to buy a new car if my starter gave out.
Having had the starter fail twice in a vehicle that I owned, your analogy is interesting.
My starter failed the same way both times. The first time I replaced the starter, I bought a replacement for the starter. No internal parts were available. The second time, I was more aware and I bought some copper pieces (cost: a few cents) via eBay, took the solenoid apart and replaced the copper connectors.
Now, the simple fact is that a repair shop will never do the repair that I did: they will replace the starter and return it so that a specialist can rebuild it. It's simply not economically viable for a retail shop to repair the starter, because, when time is accounted for, the cost of a repair is greater and the starter may fail in some other way, requiring a second repair.
This is little different to replacing the hard drive on a computer. The original computer was probably an old one so there was an added benefit of the upgrade in the replacement. The replacement probably wasn't an expensive gaming PC: it was probably priced close to the cheapest one available.
He had been investigated years ago, but cleared by the security services.
So: 1. Either they want to monitor everybody's communications, or 2. They are lying about the effect of having access to WhatsApp messages, or 3. This is just another excuse to monitor everyone's communications.
I believe that western civilization is in the process (if it hasn't already happened) of being taken over by the security apparatus, under the pretext of "protecting" us (in the same was as "devout muslims" "protect" their women by making them wear veils.
It's all about control under the guise of "protection". As I type that, I realize that it sounds just like the mafia.
The bigger question is why aren't the British (and the Americans for that matter) insisting that new citizens (including their children) become CITIZENS of that country in heart and soul, not just a piece of paper with allegiance back to terrorist orgs/states, islamic or otherwise.
At what age do you propose people make some commitment to the UK? A few minutes after they are born? At 5 years old? 15? Note that Khalid was born in the UK.
Or perhaps your proposal is that the UK create an underclass of people who were born in the UK, but not entitled to UK citizenship?
Make H1bs more desirable by making switching company easier, giving dependents work status
Not going to work. Those Indian H1B holders incur huge debts for "relocation" and the Indian companies are going to want their pound of flesh if the H1B holder changes company.
No, the suggestion was given elsewhere. It's simple and obvious: prioritize H1B assignment by salary. Highest salary gets the visa. This would have to be backed up by regulations to ensure that the hiring company is not able to claw back that salary somehow.
This is not a new fucking 0-day or even a vulnerability.
Maybe it's not a 0-day, but how is this not another vulnerability? Maybe it's not a vulnerability in Windows, but it appears to be a legitimate vulnerability in several AV tools.

You seem to be blaming the writers for the stream of remakes and copies. Why? Surely, it's the producers and buyers who control what gets written?
Even if it runs under something like WINE, how fast does it run?
I would assume that if you need something that uses CUDA, performance is important.
Sounds like pure BS to me. However, I wonder if the placebo effect extends to this type of training.

No, it's the opposite.
This is a clear anti-renewable energy move.
Some of the climate science relies on non-free information. Since it cannot be released, no regulations that depend on this data can be promulgated.
Err, remakes?
How about writing some new stories, instead of remaking movies?
But really, people want to see movies in the comfort of their own home, not be ripped off for popcorn. Deal with it.
You can pay for services with pre-paid credit cards (AKA gift cards).

Hard cases make bad laws.
I think you have misunderstood these people's crimes.
Their real crime was that their illegal enterprise was too small.
It's "the Sierra". Singular.
How about a script that fetches a random URL once per second?
Putting junk into the data makes it hard to get anything useful out of it. That plus some use of VPNs.
The rents quoted are weekly, not monthly.
If "everyone" is plural, why would there be any controversy in using the word "their" in the example given?
Everyone needs to be sure to tighten one's safety belt before approaching the cliff.
Perhaps the pronoun "one" matches "Everyone"?
Also, how about this: Everyone needs to be sure to tighten the safety belt before approaching the cliff.
The patent trolls already did. Tyler, TX has buildings "occupied" by lots of companies, except that there is never anyone in the office.
You don't even need that.

Was that meant to be sarcastic? Because it you were serious, you have not been reading the news.
