I work at IBM as a software engineer.I joined three years ago and have been applying for an H-1B visa ever since. The process was rough for me because I wasn't picked all three times. The H-1B lottery system isn't merit-based. Each year, there's one lottery where applicants are put into a pool, and around 85,000 people are picked random ...

Business Insider· 2025-09-20 09:57
Price rallies, like the recent surge in the gold market, can inspire FOMO, the fear of missing out. This week, the price of gold topped $3,700 per ounce, roughly twice its level two years ago — and the precious metal is on track for a record year. The high unit price for gold bars and coins could have some collectors feeling priced out of the market. A one-ounce gold bar or coin, like the Golden Eagle, is now worth as much as a well-used car.But there's another precious metal that's also been on the rise r ...

Business Insider· 2025-09-19 17:27
Before The New York Times even responded to President Donald Trump's 85-page defamation lawsuit, a federal judge threw out the case. The lawsuit was way too long, the judge said."As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary," US District Judge Steven Merryday wrote in a snappy order Friday. "A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a ...
