20 Days in Mariupol was devastating, and a reality check.

Do you need to plot all 10k points? If the goal is to illustrate a trend I would aggregate the data to make it more usable.

Otherwise, maybe it changed, but using canvas is a lot faster than SVGs

I’m definitely projecting a bit, but I find these generalizations harmful.

I work with people constantly romanticizing the good old days in my company, and being part of the new shitty days is not a good feeling. I’m sorry it’s different

Would Ethernet become obsolete like USB soon?

USB is obsolete?

USB-A wall outlets are. CAT5 is close to it, but I'm sure the OP ran 6, 6e or 7 which will be useful for a long time.

He made an estimate of dead weight based on his experience. I think we can all agree it's >1% and <99%. Of course, "dead weight" is a ill-posed, incompletely defined notion, so definitional issues abound, too.

The next step is to discuss the usefulness and your own perspective, not to mock.

You are calling it false, yet you haven't provided any citations either.

That's not how burden of proof works. You can't just brain fart random numbers and then demand others disprove it.

If you were to pick where would you choose to live? It’s very much a trade off, salaries are higher in the US, but the quality of life is piss poor compared to anywhere in Europe. Healthcare is terrible and expensive, Education is lousy and expensive, housing is expensive and city life, outside of a couple of cities, is mediocre (car centric, no culture, segregated). Oh and you are at-will employed, which means you are one phone call away from getting fired on the spot.

For context, I’m a European in a US city. I’m not sure for how long I’ll be able to stay here.

I can confirm. I didn't go all the way to the PhD, doors opened earlier than that for a basic analytic job (and the compensations don't make you think twice about staying an extra 5 years in academic).

Econometrics, and by extension statistics, is the most sell-able assets you have as a fresh grad. It is so transferable that you can pretty much work in any industries. I fitted models to forecast water pollution. Although, I should add that most tasks required from analyst are: data cleaning and descriptive analysis.

From there you can demonstrate all the other skills (project management for example) and evolve in whatever position interest you the most.

> the company applies end of March, you get notified of your selection early April, if you are selected you can enter the US in October

From experience, this is the main reason why companies don't want to deal with sponsorship. And also as mentioned USCIS is a dumpster fire currently (covid + trump legacy)
