Basically. Plus the limits per company to be considered h-1b dependent are AFAIK are on accepted visas, not visa applications. Not that that's a deterrent - I think these companies already are, so they must be paying the fees anyway. Plus I think a big chunk of the fees get refunded when an application is not accepted. So really there is no incentive to not apply as much as you can.
why is this unmentionable? I don't understand what you're implying. Could you sketch it out?
Yes, after the War on Drugs and the War on Terror, we need a War on Mosquitoes. It'd be a much better allocation than the other wars and much more beneficial for humanity.

Not an expert but seeing the quick rise in popularity in anything makes me nervous. eg. Index funds and ETFs. When Apple is the Number 1 holding of all index funds, and investors are blindly driving up aapl stock becuase they continue to want 'index' funds.. how do we protect ourselves and our economy from a major reset/correction?
Seems like we have a lot in common, I'm also a Java guy (run largest JUG in SoCal) and am recently in staffing. Maybe there's room for collaboration? Contact info in profile.

Either way, I'm also in the planning phases and for sure I'm going with Typescript. It's getting a lot of praise from both Java and JS developers and works with both Angular and React (although that does seem to favor ES6). In fact I just spoke with a startup that moved from Coffeescript to Typescript and React.

I am leaning toward Angular 2, but mostly because Angular is about twice as large as React in the overall job market. The HN job market is tiny subset of that, so take that into consideration. It may change, but it's a huge lead. It's also written in Typescript, so it's Google + MS, and Google is using it for their big, external facing projects. My guess is that it will retain it's lead for at least a year, but both will be popular for a long time.

I've been using docker since version 0.6 and followed almost every version upgrade since and it's an absolute mess. This blog post is spot on.

My old team had a production environment running in docker containers for about a year (this was pre-swarm, pre-kubernetes) and then transitioned to just using ansible for application deployment in a more "traditional" manner because we spent more time trying to fix broken things with docker than it was worth.

I really have to say I was impressed. I live in South Carolina around about 10 neighborhoods using Nextdoor.

One of the neighborhood had a series of break ins to cars one night that got the entire neighborhood talking. Eventually, there was one older lady who chimed in that she'd seen 3 black teenagers in a pickup truck the day before. Somebody else chimed in that they were at her son's birthday party and then multiple other people in the neighborhood scolded her for jumping to a conclusion like like that (about as tactfully as they could).

That was 2 years ago and despite periodic crime reports from the surrounding neighborhoods we haven't heard another profiling peep. Considering where it seemed like things started I've been impressed to see the virtually immediate correction.

We have one older guy in our neighborhood who calls the cops on EVERYBODY. At some point it's just the person.
With all that growth opportunity, you'd think they could invest a little more in the engineering side. I mean, I like Twitch, but their platform is still a mess. Chat delay can be a minute or more, and the VOD situation still sucks (60 days? Seriously?). I mean, they're owned by the people who run AWS for crying out loud. They should be able to knock this out of the park.

I thought YouTube Gaming was going to muscle in to this space quickly just by virtue of technical superiority. It looks like that hasn't happened yet, but Twitch can't afford to get complacent.
I hear that this financing model allows the PE firm to limit downside (to what they put down) while allowing for unlimited upside (since the equity is theirs). What's in it for the banks that finance most of it? Just the interest on unsecured loans? Aren't these interest rates typically worse than those on retail (house, credit-card, education) loans?
I think that sort of thing is an often-underappreciated benefit of Python as an ecosystem - it has a well-defined procedure for adding and changing things to core language and library, that strikes a pretty good balance between agility and prudence, and generally yields great results.
When people wonder what would happen if index funds become too popular, I usually refer them to Warren Buffet's 2005 essay, 'How to minimize investment returns':

http://www.mymoneyblog.com/how-to-minimize-investment-return...

It is essentially a thought experiment about what would happen if everyone switched to one big index fund.

But, it glosses over the issue of individual security pricing and corporate management, which would become issues in a 100% pure index environment.

Of course, we won't ever get a 100% pure index environment, because the closer you approach it, the more incentive there is for active managers to exist.

I think what is really happening is that as more people use indexing, the less talented active managers are driven out of business. A small number of very talented active managers may eventually find themselves in a highly competitive market to exploit pricing inefficiencies, and they will end up incidentally providing management oversight and marginal pricing services to the indexers. These active managers will probably look more and more like private equity firms (taking an active hand in management), and less and less like traditional arms-length traders.

As long as this small number of talented firms isn't allowed to collude with each other, or self-deal unethically by controlling management, everything should be fine. In fact, having met some less talented active traders in person, I suspect that the quality of marginal pricing and managerial oversight may go _up_ as the number of active managers decreases, and the less informed and talented among them are eliminated.
The Typelevel Scala is nothing more than a branch on which experiments can happen before pull requests are made in the main branch. The people involved have already contributed fixes, like the following by Miles Sabin, which is huge and will make Scala much better: https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/5102 - so basically we've got here a bunch of people that are extremely productive, working for free for the betterment of our tools and you don't like it because?

> Official Scala documentation never even mentions the word "monad" (not even once!), and I think this is a good thing

Actually that's a huge mistake because Scala is amongst the few languages that can express the Monad as a type. In most mainstream languages monads aren't explained because those languages lack the capacity for doing it. It's no wonder that people have a hard time understanding monads without a type to look at, as that would be like describing an elephant to a blind man. Do you think you understand Iterable because of its name? No, you understand it because you've seen its interface clearly described and then you used it and learned to appreciate it.

And really, the strangest things happens when you don't talk about it. You still have for comprehensions, but surprise, they don't behave like in Python, "yield" is again overloaded, having nothing to do with Python's yield or Ruby's yield, and people stumble for no good reason, because it is hard to connect what seems like syntactic sugar over iterators to an expansion using map and flatMap. Along with "computation expressions" from F# or other bullshit naming meant to not scare away the most sensitive of us, the big problem that happens is that people get confused and don't even know what to search for. Search for monads and you'll find endless articles, tutorials, books, research. Search for comprehensions and you get shit.

This is basically anti-intellectualism, the same kind of attitude that made Trump popular and that encouraged Brexit.
The same kind of attitude that made the Option type in Java violate the Functor laws, taking a concept and destroying its essence just because we're afraid of big words and the opinions of experts.

I don't dislike it. I like cleaner streets, more cafés, more stores that take cards, amenities, etc.

I do dislike my rent doubling in price. In NYC, both go hand in hand. For now since I just finished college, I'll take my super low rent. There's nothing "wrong" with where I live anyway.

For a non-selfish response, Sunset Park is one of the few neighborhoods where most people people are working class. Indeed, most of the cooks, dishwashers, etc in Manhattan live here, sometimes many in one apartment (to be able to afford it). I can't imagine where they'd go if the area gentrified.
That is an argument whose logical conclusion is that NSA can't do any SIGINT using vulnerabilities

My argument shows that in some specific instances, we are less secure. There's probably still a "net global" argument to be made saying that although there do exist costs, they're outweighed by the overall benefits.

The problem with that, in turn, is that we're not allowed to know either of the arguments into the equation. They argue that the costs are zero (which is clearly false), and they won't tell us what the benefits are (other than the unsupported claim that they're immense).

It seems to me the credit is a form of charity for students, and you had not bothered to redeem it for 2 years. Now, you seem to be implying that DO is acting in an evil manner for only alerting you to the change via the dashboard (which the DO rep in this thread admitted was poor execution on their part). I don't think you are being charitable, and I think the underlying assumption you are making almost sounds conspiratorial.

IIRC, the only part they replaced was the controller IC itself. All of the main power components (switching transistors, filter inductors and capacitors) remained off-chip.

Consider that the VRM's have as much or more silicon in them than in the host processor, and they have completely different breakdown voltage and switching speed requirements relative to a CPU.

I think it's not unreasonable to have an auction system in place. You don't want your labor market to be suddenly flooded by foreign workers - this isn't to say that they're bad, but when it's a singular large number in proportion to the existing workforce, it can be very disruptive short-term.

This doesn't necessarily have to come with a hard cap - you can just increase the bar slightly for every new application that is filed, and let the market figure out where the profitability bar is.

Gravity only pulls things together, it doesn't stop them when they get close to each other. In the absence of "friction" (all other interactions except gravity), things get close to each other and just zoom past by / through each other.

If you only have gravity but nothing else, there are no collisions.

If you've seen the CUDA demo where they simulate thousands of bodies interacting by gravity, and they just keep swarming around forever - it's like that. No friction or stickiness, no collisions, just forever swarming around.

Dark matter, whatever it really is, is rather like a "ghost". Just goes through normal matter and through itself and doesn't do anything except a little gravitational tug.

Also, this is a sensationalist article. They did not get into their methodologies, or whether their data points were actually representative of the industry. Somebody getting paid by the column inch found an easy article to write.

That proportion is not too relevant for this graph. The graph is relative.

Even if a only a small percentage of Twitch users use Google search to access Twitch, the graph would be somewhat indicative of it's growth.

Primarily this. PE firms tend to do a poor job at putting people in charge who know a company's full stack operations, and tend to underpay new non-sales hires which results in a net loss of talent for the company. Do this too often and you become a stagnant company that can't draw in new customers.

Most large software companies are not the problem - they actually do use H1B the way it's intended, i.e. to supplement their work force when local talent is unavailable on short notice; and they offer equal pay for equal work. They also normally sponsor their H1B employees for green cards as soon as they're eligible, so we're not talking temp workers here, so much so as a skilled immigration stream.

(Disclosure: I was an H1B worker before, so this is based on personal and anecdotal experience.)

Places like Infosys and Tata are the problem. That's where H1B is milked for cheap labor, and where all those legal schemes to lower the salary as much as possible are heavily used. So far as I know, most workers that they hire do not get green cards, either.

Problem is, the latter group is responsible for most H1B applications.
How does this differ from RAFT?
Are we pretending that post hoc, ergo propter hoc is not a fallacy?

If a crime has multiple contributing factors, that does not necessarily make any of those factors a crime in itself.

One might as well say that because murder with a firearm is a crime, that possession of bullets should also be considered criminal.

It is perfectly reasonable to say that crimes may be related to non-crimes. But in our system, the crime should be defined by objective criteria, or elements, such that a judge and jury can determine whether they exist or not based on evidence and testimony.

And while is it possible to define a crime without a victim's complaint as an element, my own opinion is that such laws should be relatively rare, or severely limited in their application and scope.
Along with that, one of the reasons HIV is so hard to design a vaccine for is it's absurdly high error rate, which drives a huge amount of genetic diversity even within-host.
Ask HN: What are the best resource for learning Angular 2?
An alternative approach: break side projects down into short-term projects. Basically minimum viable products. This shortens the time to feedback and minimizes the opportunity cost from picking the wrong one.

It's generally easier to optimize this path, then to "pick the right idea." Because it's basically impossible to know ahead of time. And, besides, you'll learn a lot through each iteration. Good luck!
> What if I told you your choice to support "The War on Drugs" has caused ...

I don't necessarily support the current implementation of it. But I am against recreational drug usage and widespread drug availability (i.e. go to CVS and by meth and heroin, if you want).

I think that cigarettes and alcohol, already legal substances that ravage the poor, have caused and continue to cause immeasurable damage to life and property. Yet we do little to address those problems. Once drugs are legal, you'll find something else to blame poverty on ("the government isn't giving out enough free contraceptives and abortion services, that's the real root of the poverty cycle").
> Magic operates in ways we don't understand.

> I think we understand negative energy density, we just don't know if it's possible in reality.

Exactly as in magic. When you propose things are possible if only X material with some magical property necessary for thing to work, that's speculative fiction. Especially when those constructs only make sense mathematically. Math isn't physics, but physics is math, there's an important implication there.

Nice to see people spreading good practices with Make.

I get that artists want to make more money but at the end of the day, that is simply a function of the total pot size and the money that has to be spent to get a pot that size.

Spotify, so far, has been losing money. Overall, monetizing music is just a very hard business. I feel that point is often missed by artists who want to put the blame on Spotify as if Spotify is sitting on billions in profits that could go to the artists. Apple temporarily enabling a few artists to make some extra money doesn't change the fact that music is a very hard business to make money in--as much for the broadcasters like Spotify as for the artist.
