Two problems:

- The green card process doesn't completely transfer over.

- Filing a petition to transfer an H1B puts the employee at risk of getting a denial. Every petition sent to USCIS is risking an audit, denial, and at the very least, many headaches.

They'd definitely need to account for region, rather than just looking at the dollar amount.

I visted Finland two summers ago. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in terms of friendliness or small-talk. I mostly visited bigger cities though.

It's "obvious" to those unfamiliar with fasting. Once you're used to fasting, what was previously obvious and intuitive gets thrown out the window.

Well, it was obvious to me when I started dry-heaving after going on a morning run without eating first. It was a distance/pace that I never found particularly challenging under normal conditions. It's interesting that other people seem to have no problem exercising on an empty stomach.

If you're not used to it it might feel weird. But you absolutely can do intense exercise without eating first.

Does your dry heaving mean anything other than you were feeling stress? Or that your abdominal neurons were disoriented?

How does the trackpad feel? The only thing I haven't found anyone else do better than Apple is the Mac's trackpads. They're absolutely smooth and a pleasure to work with.

I installed Unbuntu on a Lenovo and the trackpad felt horrible in comparison, even after tinkering endlessly with the settings.

Half the allure of a Thinkpad is the trackpoint though.

I don't understand trackpoint. I've tried flat & adaptive pressure profiles and a mix of different sensitivities.

I always overshoot what I'm trying to click on a tiny bit. With a macbook touchpad, that just doesn't happen at all.

Also, it feels like the force and dexterity to use a trackpoint puts a bit too much pressure on my finger.

I've tried using a trackpoint for a while. I desperately regret switching my corp laptop from a macbook to thinkpad several months ago. Linux is nice, but now I have to deal with this really shitty trackpad for over another year until my refresh.

I like the trackpoint because of the nostalgia factor, but in terms of dexterity, speed, and accuracy, there's no way it can compare to a trackpad.

The track point to me feels very unnatural.

Do you switch fingers to give yourself a break?

Dell XPS trackpads are better than MBP, and plus if you get the developer edition you still get Linux.
