Blackout ban may suggest L.A. mess close to solution
Personally, if Roger Goodell promised something, in writing, with his own blood, I MIGHT believe him. If there are only verbal words I'm sure he can spin his way out of them.— March 25, 2015 10:43 a.m.
H-1B – a scheme to lower engineers’ wages
You are absolutely correct the program is purely intended to lower labor costs for US corporations by lowering wages of middle class engineers. But I think the worst effects of the H1B program will come once engineers who have emigrated to the US start returning to their native countries. Eventually there will be a lot of companies in China that compete directly with U.S. companies and their development will be helped by Chinese engineers and executives who have learned invaluable skills from their training at U.S. universities and companies. I'm not sure about competition from Indian companies yet - but there is certainly a high-tech startup boom in China.— March 22, 2015 10:03 a.m.
Sorrento Valley, 5, Mira Mesa, 5
So dumb question here: What exactly are the dividing lines between Sorrento Valley, Sorrento Mesa, Mira Mesa? I don't see either Sorrento Valley or Sorrento Mesa on the city's map of communities: http://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profil… But Sorrento Valley is shown on the police dept's neighborhood map: http://www.sandiego.gov/police/pdf/2011policecity… Are Sorrento Valley and/or Sorrento Mesa official designations?— March 22, 2015 9:54 a.m.
H-1B – a scheme to lower engineers’ wages
I think the argument is often made that companies in the US must bring in plenty of foreign workers otherwise they will just have to off-shore jobs. What they neglect to mention is that it's not that easy to just off-shore tasks. Complex projects required detailed coordination and that the time zone differences make that difficult. Often some face-to-face human interaction and travel expenses can quickly eat up the savings from lower overseas labor costs.— March 22, 2015 7:08 a.m.
The economy in shock
Conservation of CASH. Sempra likes to conserve THEIR cash by forcing ratepayers to pay for maintainence and upkeep of power lines.— March 20, 2015 8:09 p.m.
Small boost in price of San Bruno explosion
Yeah wouldn't that be the ultimate insult - raising utility rates to pay for Peevey's legal defense.— March 19, 2015 4:33 a.m.
Homes worth zero
I thought title insurance covered this. So the victim would be the title insurance company. Is that true?— March 19, 2015 4:06 a.m.
H-1B – a scheme to lower engineers’ wages
The H1B visas have made it much more difficult for American engineers to find jobs. There is a virtually limitless supply of relatively inexpensive foreign engineers who are recent engineering graduates of American universities. You are not competing with ~300M people in the U.S. you are competing with 300M US + ~2600M (India + China). Unfortunately you may have consider a career shift but that's difficult during mid-career.— March 15, 2015 11:55 a.m.
AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
There's a few notes about Don's illness in the H1B story. Based on what I've read Don had a severe bout of flu and pneumonia but is recovering now.— March 14, 2015 12:58 p.m.
AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
I don't think its a good thing. I would like the Chargers to stay in SD. But I don't think building a stadium for an NFL team is an appropriate use of tax dollars.— March 13, 2015 4:13 p.m.
