It would seem to me that if the amphorae were truly made in the 3rd century, there should have been enough time in the intervening 38 years to establish more conclusive dating than the stylistic comparisons that were apparently used originally (and that were bound to be misleading if the amphorae were replicas of a particular style).
It's the other way around. FICA tops out at $135k. Past that your wages are taxed at only 1.45% (for medicare) more than any other non-capital-gains income.
You are forgetting the Additional Medicare Tax of 0.9% that kicks in at $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married joint).
There is also the Net Investment Income Tax of 0.9% that applies to all unearned income when you hit those same thresholds, including but not limited to income that qualifies as long-term capital gains.
More specifically, Delaware has the largest body of settled corporate case law. Legal disputes between corporations incorporated in Delaware are much more predictable.
If this guy is starved for talent couldn't he just increase what he's willing to pay and steal people from other tech companies? (There are a number of people who would be willing to jump ship for the right #s I'm sure.) This seems to be where BusinessWeek is correct. At the end of the day engineers should be getting paid more.
There are only a handful of Yann LeCuns in the world. You can't just duplicate certain technical expertise.
This isn't about developer X using framework Y; this is about research level PhDs (and equivalent) that cannot continue work for a US-based company because of visa issues.
So have said companies fund research fellowships/projects producing PhDs with the skillsets they want. Then pay enough to entice them to join the company. The US DoE does this specifically because it cannot hire non-citizens.
And Indian H1B workers who match those skills for the high-skill / high-paying jobs will settle for less than industry average?
Also, in the current system, even if he wants to steal people from other tech companies, there is a good chance those people are on H1B, and that it will be exceedingly hard to steal them without immigration problems (particularly if they are, as is likely, to have a green card application in process.)
