The problem in implementing this is the origin & destination country should have legal mechanisms in place to operate this. Many low income migrant workers use schemes called "Hawala" , "Hundi" to avoid the fees charged by the remittance companies.
Maybe RippleNet can work in favor for both consumers and providers. Do keep in mind that RippleNet is not the same as XRP. The remittance houses will have to maintain Nostro and Vostro accounts for funding which I believe is currently maintained in USD. They can switch this to XRP to avoid those transaction fees and overhead.
Maybe the laws has to change too. Many laws & processes still needs ink seal and signatures. A digital signature or a digital photo is not enough.
I was into 3 years of my H1B and quit that job, left US. Can I recoup my other 3 years of H1B without going through a lottery in the future ?
AML rules can be complex, but it also has trivial rules like if the occupation of a person and the amount of the money he exchanges do not make sense, the transaction will be flagged and reported to the central bank. The transaction will go through, but will be reported to the central bank using a webservice or as a monthly report. Its upto the central bank to investigate it further.
If it was, I could throw my keyfob out of the window on a highway and the car would come to a stop.
As per the guidelines:
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Ideological or political battle or talking points. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
What if the feeds from the APIs are already conditioned/personalized for the user ? I didn't sign up for gobo because I don't have a twitter or facebook anymore. I left these social medias for the very reasons that Gobo is trying to solve.
These kind of body shops which are setup solely for applying future greencards are prevalent in New Jersey. They have their back offices in Hyderabad India.
Even many non CS graduates faking their resumes as CS ones and applying for "specialized" positions in IT. I had enough of this and left US and immigrated to Canada for good because I am pretty sure that my future will be affected by these bad apples gaming the system. I do not like Trump personally, but he is right about the H1B immigration system.
If H1B system is a lottery, then why is it called a "skilled visa" ? H1B should be merit based so as to weed out the bad apples and body shops gaming the system.
Probably I should write a book on "How to game the H1B system and get away with it". The book will be an eye opener for this broken skilled visa system and its loopholes.
Among the state and non state actors, China is deeply disliked by global journalists too. It is also deeply disliked by Human Right Propagandists/Upholders, and the so called "global civil society on the internet". The problem is that these people have an ultra large impact on the perception because these are the people who control media, and a general person's access to information. They have abject monopoly over access to knowledge, and are deeply ideological. So much so that, these people are often found lobbying the United States and on the internet forums for policies that may harm the world. But they have huge power in Western discourse, and if they get pissed, they will start a whole ideological parade against their perceived nuisance. For US, it is simply their loss of influence that they are worried about.
The biggest people, and the most vocal, which leads to this perception, are the Global Civil Western Society, who just can't tolerate a state like China's to succeed. It is against their almost fanatically religious form of worship for some ideas, systems, and ideologies most of them tend to be under the guise of pro humanitarian but in reality is borderline jealousy and the fear of losing out. This also should be read in tandem with the fact that this is the very same society which supports the NRA, African American suffrage etc.
A similar phenomenon happened in the 1980s and 90s with Japan. The United States, not the world, was desperately concerned that Japan would not just pass over them in the future, but had already done so economically and culturally. The American mindset is extremely fickle, superficial, paranoid, and shortsighted when it comes to the possibility of foreign rivals. They just cant stand the very thought of competing in a global economy.
If India starts to make progress, India will also be targeted. In a country divided by many languages and cultures, India is very vulnerable for social conditioning. The case of missing nuclear scientists is one of them.
China is a good example in resisting these warfares/sabotages by foreign actors. They have effectively controlled foreign actors in meddling with their social & economic aspects (controlling fake news, social engineering by controlling the internet). Supporting homegrown technology companies than foreign ones. India should follow the same.
Another feature that we use is the KV configuration dynamic reloading. So all your yml configurations are in Consul and can be updated and propagated to all of your services on the fly.
Now the problem we face is Spring Cloud Consul project is maintained by a very few people, so if there is an issue, we have to workaround than waiting for a fix.
I trust negative reviews more because if I had a good experience, I don't have any incentive at all to login to a webpage, create credentials if its needed and then go through the myriad of steps to post a positive review. But on the other hand, if I had a bad experience, the only way to vent it out is by giving them a bad review. I am willing to go through the hoops of signups and surveys so that I post that one bad review about the service. There is an incentive for me there.
Tailpiece: There are many services that you can purchase to write positive reviews for your company/service. The trend to identify this is that whenever there is a negative review, it gets buried by a bunch of near 5 star positive reviews, mostly with a one liner review text.
