I'd like to see this developed for relearning language after a stroke.

Have a friend whose first language was Spanish, but lived her life in the English speaking world and had limited Spanish skills as an adult After a serious stroke, she initially couldn't speak, but recovered ability in Spanish first. The court and language therapist marked down her communication skills because they were so English-centric. Caused a sad story.

Separate browser profiles on separate Linux desktop workspaces. My "work" workspace has my work email, work calendar, work websites, work terminals, work files. This is the place where work gets done, no browsing for fun here. The other workspace has a personal Firefox profile where I can check my own email or look at Facebook. This is the place where work doesn't get done. Set yourself times when you're allowed into the personal workspace, maybe over your lunch hour and a 15 minute break in the morning and afternoon. The rest of the time, do work.
Yeah, applying the algorithm can lead to sequences of transplant exchanges and save lives :D

Oh man, time to get organized. Who will do the lobbying on this? The EFF? Wiki says amici briefs to Eldred v. Ashcroft were filed by the Free Software Foundation, the American Association of Law Libraries, the Bureau of National Affairs, and the College Art Association. RBG's majority opinion there framed the plaintiffs as "individuals and businesses whose products or services build on copyrighted works that have gone into the public domain." I wish there was some kind of group advocating for users of public domain materials, whose access to our literary heritage is so hampered by copyright.
Yeah. Their investment comes in the form of a salary.

I don't know the details for H1b's specifically but I can tell you that they haven't had trouble meeting visa requirements for people in the program.
When I was laid off in 2009, I got 2 weeks 'severance' even though I had 10 PTO days accrued. (They basically just paid out my paid leave). This was for a software consultancy business.

Delaware is very tax-friendly. A vast number of companies incorporate in Delaware due to this reason.

You can get around it by showing a significant amount of professional experience. But it's not easy. (You still have to go through "labor certification")
It's certainly true that definitions are often arbitrary and aren't the "meat of the issue". For example if a field is too obsessed with how it labels things, then it's usually a bad sign.

When in university, some courses would focus very much on definitions and lists of things and what part of the field covers what things, I could tell there was some pretentious bullshit going on. Now mathematics seems like an exception to this, but actually they don't argue about definitions in this sense. If you define your terms slightly differently a mathematician may be annoyed but he will recognize if your overall work is valid.

It's also true on an individual level. I noticed that people who like to argue whether they are programmers or software developers tend to be less concerned about actually getting something done, vs. people who'd say "call me whatever; you can come and watch what I do and decide what you call it".

It comes across as overcompensation for having little to say otherwise. Good scientific papers also don't dwell too much on how to categorize and break up the related fields. But apparently there are people who enjoy defining terms precisely, like whether they do Data Mining, Data Science, Machine Learning or AI or Statistics or Probability. They are all fluid categories and have significant overlaps. There is just no reason to work towards sharp separation.

Can Facebook at Work actually win businesses?
The FTC and DOJ don't block mergers because it may result in a monopoly. They don't specifically judge things based on monopoly or market share, but rather based on whether it will likely or has resulted in consumer / market harm (and I would agree that a quasi-monopoly merger is far more often than not going to fall into that category in the eyes of the FTC or DOJ, but that's not the criteria they start from).

Intel for example has / had a practical monopoly in processors for many years in PCs. The government was ok with it, based on various terms they agreed upon with Intel. The same is true of Microsoft, and countless other businesses (big and small) across the US.

There of course used to be far stricter rules on local monopolies in media (radio, tv, newspapers, cable stations etc), but those have been heavily relaxed in the last 20 years.
DuPont is there, Dow is in Michigan. My hunch is that DuPont is in the driver's seat on this one.

Not a question but wanted to point out the L1 visa that is often overlooked by foreign startup founders. It allows for founders/workers of foreign companies to be transferred to a US subsidiary that is majority owned by the foreign entity. I found it a fairly simple and straightforward process that got me from nothing to L1 to Green Card in about 13 months (although with help of immigration lawyer of course). The main requirements are having worked for at least 12 months for the foreign entity before transferring and the person must be in a managerial/executive position. Also the foreign entity must own the majority of the US subsidiary.

It made me nod in agreement when I read that. Anyone who has fasted for a minimum amount of time, at least 10 hours or so can attest that you end up with an incredibly clear head, powerful sense of smell and very "switched on" vision system where everything seems sharper and clearer.

It's a well known effect and this shows one mechanism behind it.
There's friction through off-site coordination, there is loss of informal knowledge, there is silo-ing - these are all very immediate concerns. IP leakage is much further down on the list.
Apparently the individuals behind this consider censorship a better solution than open debate.
The basic problem with flying cars is that flying is very energy intensive.

Birds are basically two massive chest muscles and some hollow bones, and not much else.

Normal planes get away with flying because they make maximum passive use of the air via the wings.

Now consider the Harrier, i think it has a hover capability measured in minutes. And thats at full fuel load and no weapon load.

I think there are actually quite a few advantages. Persistent storage space. Interior customisation. Instant availability in less popular areas.

Certainly, but that's a separate issue to vehicle ownership.
Congrats to Django, and thanks to Mozilla!

This is the best news! Thanks @ Andrew Godwin (since I see him in here) for all the work you've done on Django over the past N years. I've contributed small amounts of money to the fellowship program 3 or 4 times now, but the sum of that program's entire fundraising for 2015 is almost tripled by this single grant, and the purpose of this grant money is so exciting. Channels is awesome; so is Django REST Framework. Adding the best of these things to the core and tightening some of the architecture sounds exciting. It helps to position Django for continued relevance, web services and real-time applications become more popular.
People couldn't have been completely crazy. Anyone taking part would understand that not winning would be hugely burdensome, and winning would mean you have money but a huge number of mouths to feed.
If you enter under ESTA, you won't be able to work for the company and you will need to leave and reenter again in E-3 status to work for the company. And yes, if you recently have been in E-3 status and then seek to reenter under ESTA, you could have problems because CBP could conclude that you are coming to stay and/or work.
In a highly competitive job market, it's hard to have ethics that result in your unemployment. And any actual "whistleblowing" that costs businesses money can be career-destroying, life-ruining, or (in the case of Snowden) force you to flee the country.

Look at how nobody's broken omerta on what actually happened in VW.
I thought those studies concerned more that the bi-lingual children had an extra flexibility at understanding a concept, rather than a more developed compartmentalization process.
QC20i. I'd like to think I'm unlucky. Also, like I said, I wear them in my sleep and the cords are contorted in the morning.

But I can't live without them now, so if I have to I'll pay for a new pair every year. I'd really rather not though... I'm eagerly waiting for the newer models. Any improvement would be good.

I don't put them in the pouch. Too much hassle. I just bundle them and put them in my pocket.
i'm deleting this comment because it was a bunch of practical (as in non-legal advice) info about running an LLC that could potentially get someone in trouble if taken as advice.
I never thought of doing that! Good idea, thanks
This is exactly what happened with Enron and the backlash against that level of cheating -- the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

I refuse any argument that a line-level IT staff member cooked the books there on their own, yet the response - draconian controls placed on access to production data - does nothing to stop that from happening again.

All it did was make maintaining IT systems far, far more difficult to the pool on call schlep who has to delete a bad file at 3 in the morning when they have to involve 6 different people and levels and levels of approval (which takes until 10am to do). SOX and its ilk does nothing to stop unscrupulous top-level execs from hiding things.
I'll bet the fifteen biggest ships also haul more cargo than all the cars in the world, too.

You don't need an account of any kind if you are the receiver here. You just put in a debit card and you get the money.

So it's easier for the receiver but still requires a Wallet account for the sender.

All that's left is to do this exact same thing but in reverse. Let a GW user send a secure REQUEST link that only requires card information to pay.

Just curious -- what is the main problem with these (as opposed to say sand and other natural objects of similar size) -- do they float in water instead of settling down, or look like food, or something else?
Thanks for you time.
I'm a chilean entrepreneur developing a startup here in SF. I'm one of the founders and we have already incorporated as an LLC.

1-What's the easiest path for me to get a visa that will allow me to work and receive a salary here in the US?
2-Can I do that through the company we just established?

I'm fully dedicated and focused on our company and growing as fast as we can and I need to come to a solution to my visa so I can continue working here with no problems.

Much appreciate your help Peter.

I honestly don't see how that's any different from the age-old "tabloid" papers (like Telegraaf for example.)
Fair statement but USCIS can be really tough on new/small company L-1s so these need to be done right and supported by extensive documentation of the U.S. and foreign companies' operations.
> At the Gold level of $400/m I've had excellent experiences.

This is what's different. Yes I've submitted tickets. I did for SSL certificates related issues as they are currently migrating that functionality from google apps to developer console. I also emailed them about some issues I had with storage but nothing. Eventually I found workarounds but I guess I don't pay for support so I shouldn't be expecting it.
Easy solution, just switch to natural biodegradable abrasives like crushed walnut shells. These are already used a lot in the cosmetics industry.
TPP has killed that. Canada will be life plus 70 shortly.
Yuppers.
I've never done an extension, just a transfer. It was pretty routine; you just file the application again just like the first time. Not much of a difference; other than the previous approval making your chances of getting approved once more significantly higher.

The first time, I had to get a new visa stamp (which required going back to my home country to get it from the U.S. embassy); the second time I kept the same visa stamp and a little piece of paper in my passport showing the transfer. It's mostly useful as a reference of the case number when I get asked about my employer (which is different than the one shown on the visa stamp) when I travel back to the US from a trip abroad.
The 'engineer' here is a C level exec, not some programmer stuck in a basement below VW's offices somewhere.

The best explanation so far of how this may have come to pass is that the compliance department and the engineers that actually wrote the code report to the same person but not the CEO. That would allow the CEO to claim he and the board didn't know anything about this. That still leaves you to wonder how they could have been duped so easily, after all 'tremendous problem solved by magic' normally does not pass the smell test.
I was thinking of an office hours that are specific to the Midwest or maybe not SV, NY, Boston etc.
If this is working so well, why is there still no version of Yahoo Messenger—a core product—for either Mac OS X or iOS?
What do you mean that "management" is not taking the blame? The CEO resigned. The two chief engineers who reportedly hatched the scheme (who are as upper management as you get, they reported to the CEO) were fired. The head of US operations was also fired.

What more are you expecting? And how does this make it sound like it's not the fault of upper management and executives?
Here's a webapp I built that does a bunch of checks to determine whether an IP is an ICS honeypot or not: https://honeyscore.shodan.io
You're right about the pay for teachers. However if you look at the way it's worked out for adjunct professors at the college level, the part-time pay is even less, plus they miss out on benefits. If there's any high school teachers' union involved, I'd bet they'd be against allowing part-time teachers.

Once I chanced upon an ad for high school comp sci teacher. They were willing to waive the Master's degree requirement as well as the teaching credential requirement. As you note, the pay was ridiculously low, about 30-35% less than industry salary for a fresh-out-of-school graduate. Would have been nice though, for someone eager to teach but wanting to skip the 2-4 years of extra training.

You may be right, I said this from memory. Maybe we're talking about the same thing from a different perspective though? My recollection was that it had to do with the need to switch between languages.

I can see why this would work in a place that uses QA as a crutch.

All developers should aim for no bugs and test their stuff themselves but of course when deadlines are looming its easier to just code and let the QA team pick it up.
TL;DR: They fired the QA team to save money. Then they made the engineers do the QA work for no extra pay.

What's wrong with something like:

generate a hash (e.g. md5) of current year (or 'draw' if you do secret santa
once a month) and each person's name
sort the people by their hashes
draw 1 and 2 together, 3 and 4, etc.
Similar schemes have been used in e.g. trucking for years; I am not sure what you think is the substantial difference between an Uber driver and a truck owner-operator, but it's far from obvious and very far from inevitable.
I haven't specifically tried that exact approach, but I have a fair bit of experience with ad-supported news sites.

> I feel like a lot of people don't pay for news ... That doesn't mean they're not good potential widget customers.

I'm having a hard time thinking of any advertiser who would be happy about excluding the sort of dedicated reader who is willing to pay for content online. I'm not saying the remaining ad impressions are "bad" just that they are objectively less valuable. That's why this scheme disproportionately devalues ad impressions: you remove the direct impressions from people who buy a pass and you also make the remaining impressions less valuable.

Look at how washingtonpost.com positions itself to advertisers: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/mediacenter/html/ad_was... and then imagine how much harder it would be to buy into that story if it excluded many wealthy and loyal readers.
Ask HN: Do you find it annoying when an external link opens in the same tab?
Several sites I use every day (like this very HN and Stack Overflow) don't open external links in a new tab.

Sometimes I forget to press the control button, and the page I'm reading is gone when I click on a link. Of course I can get back to where I was with a single click (or button press), but I feel betrayed, every single this happens.
Fair enough, I agree with your point about the inclusion of said iPads. The only counterpoint that I would have would be to compare the capital efficiency of letting kids chatter about bullshit, which is free, to using expensive techinical portals to the same ends. I would be really interested to see the insurance policy on those iPads' assesment of expected lifespan, and then use that number to compute the expected value of using iPads specifically as a tablet in the classroom.
Can O1 holders apply for a GC or do they need to move to an EB1 before applying for a GC?
In your experience, how necessary is it for Canadians and Mexicans applying for a TN Visa, to be accepted for Software Engineer or Computer Systems Analyst jobs without a degree in computer science or engineering? For example, I have a B.Comm degree.

I've heard it's a bit hit and miss and if you don't have a good lawyer working on your side getting through might be tough. I'm not sure if it's a different story for H1B Visas though.
You probably have several options but these will depend on the ownership of the company, the amount and source of funding if any, and your background. The options that come to mind are the H-1B1, the E-1 and E-2, and the O-1.
Thanks for that.

Is that something you can do with just a simple individual account? Or is this something you need to upgrade your account for? If it involves upgrades, does it have monthly fees? Does it require a business account?

Not all the opposition to the light bulbs regulation was corruption and posturing. Some of it was quite reasonable objections from consumers along the lines of "hey, I buy that product, and there's no good substitute at a reasonable price point." I doubt consumers really care that much about microbeads, which makes them a lot easier to ban.
Yahoo's main issue is UX and usability, not software quality, so this sounds like another way of saying Yahoo laid off its QA team.

Again, personal choice, there are an infinite number of choices on how to spend my time and money. I also don't watch Tom Cruise movies, because Scientology.

As for the German car industry as a whole, as I said, I've read that the industry has been successful at influencing emission standard and limiting testing. Volkswagon is part of that group, and everyone else in the group is part of that group.

I'm pretty sure Germany is not overly concerned about me. But they may be concerned about Volkswagon's 24% drop in sales in America in November, and as I speculated above, that may get enough of the industry's attention that they may feel compelled to execute in a way that shows without ambiguity that they are far and away the most honest companies in the world. I'd buy cars from that group.

Meantime, there's Japan, America, Britain, Sweden, France, Italy, and probably some that I haven't mentioned. You have to choose, so choose according to what you want to reward or change.
"The first rule of Fight Club is : You don't talk about Fight Club." -Tyler

You get into the gang by sharing an existential threat to the group. Be it killing someone to get into a gang, be it telling your life's secrets while lying naked in a coffin ( http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol... ), attaining seat at the MAD ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction ) table by stocking nuclear weapons, or signing on to a hot new scrappy startup for just enough to live paycheck to paycheck and keep frozen burritos on the breakfast table.

When the sharks circle, they tend to go after the weaker pray spices rather than those able to draw serious repercussions. The consumer as chum. Line employees are next. Then maybe a scape goat or two.

Lots of managers use the phrases 'by whatever means necessary', 'it must be done', 'just ship it', "we'll fix it later", and M.V.P. . The naive will say that "management just doesn't understand!". To someone who is paying attention this is building a cut out of responsibility.

In the Kabuki theater of corporate politics this often suffices for blame shedding. Remember the goal is to accept garner credit for good things and blame shed the bad things, helping things get done a product to be made or whatever is ancillary to the individuals goals in the modern company due to the average length of employment being so very low.
