What makes you think the H-1 visa is the most abused when there are non-capped options that allow employers to pay even lower wages, with the added bonus of being non-transferable?

Today the H-1B quota is hurting only small companies that cannot afford the uncertainty and length of the process. By reducing this quota, the only companies you'll hurt are those.

MS, Amazon, Google and the like will keep hiring more people in Europe and Canada. When these people choose not to transfer, that's a net loss for the US economy.

Infosys, Tata and the like will shift their hiring pipeline to other types of visa.

If you have an issue with shitty US companies that want to pay lower wages for their IT, then fix your labor laws. Focusing on the H-1B is missing the forest for the tree.
> Nah, Trump and his crew are useful idiots when it comes to Russia;

Since Eisenhower, which presidents have not been 'useful idiots'? I'd nominate Kennedy and Carter. Someone I respect said that Nixon hated the globalists, but he escalated the war in Vietnam (only ending it after his re-election), and I wasn't alive then so I don't know.

In recent history, Clinton continued G.H.W. Bush's free trade agenda. GW Bush couldn't even read a teleprompter. Obama was good at reading the teleprompter, but didn't have a good understanding of any of the problems he was supposedly addressing.

I think the real useful idiots are those employed by the traditional news media: CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. They lived in a little bubble, thinking that people really wanted four more years of the Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama status quo.
Uber has done nearly everything right. I think its main vulnerability is that its laborers are a fickle bunch and Uber hasn't done enough to inspire any loyalty. All Uber drivers I talk to alternate between Uber and Lyft and exploit any promotions or incentives either firm offers.

Uber has the opportunity to revolutionize not just logistics but also on-demand employment, but has lagged in the latter, leaving the door wide open for Lyft and other services that carve out a big niche of Uber's market.

I think Uber should immediately offer the following services to its drivers:

- Tax planning, withholding even if it's 1099 income or if the driver has other sources of income.

- Matching IRA contributions with one year vesting.

- healthcare subsidy

- continuing education, or some way to level up in life by driving with Uber.

- Some incentive for being a loyal, exceptional driver.

- Car financing/leasing/sharing and insurance packages tailored at would-be Uber drivers who don't own a vehicle.

I know that more and more of these sorts of ideas are being tried by both Uber and Lyft, but investors need to realize that the workforce is being trained to be opportunistic and disloyal.

Many of the drivers I've interviewed (during my ride) despise Uber the corporation or boast about their fair weather support. Many reflect back on how Uber used to be better for drivers, etc.

Uber's main battles have been fought with regulators and with Lyft, but now the best strategy is figuring out how to become the Uber of on-demand employment.

The downside is the prune command is a giant hammer. In a lot of cases you don't want to clean everything, just things you know you won't be using. For instance, in a CI environment there's going to be some images that will always be there, but if you run a prune in-between jobs you've now made it necessary to re-pull all images.

Refactoring is indeed a problem. I try to use an IDE for that (for java I don't use vim anymore; it's complete overkill). If you use python or go, you can find some stuff out there, but sadly vim is not made for this.

I've never really had a problem with goto method definition with ctags, and I've used that with multiple languages. ctags is usually relatively fast generating the tags, and you could probably set up so that it generates it each X seconds if you wanted.

For the project wide search, ctrlP has served me well, although the fuzzy completion is far from good (command-t is way better at that), so I would probably recommend the second one if your project is large.

Regarding switching projects, I've been using tmux for quite some time and it's a blessing. I could not imagine someone spending a lot of time in the terminal with vim and not using tmux or another terminal multiplexer. tmux is for me as important as vim itself. It makes a big difference. I have different sessions for different projects .

You have probably heard about youcompleteme. It's not amazing (doesn't come close to intellij), but it works and it's free, so the last thing I will do is complain :)

I'm not sure I understand the move back/forward in history. Do you mean undoing just some specific selected code?

vim is far from perfect. The more I use other tools, the more I realize it's limited in a lot of ways, but unfortunately when I try to use other editors, I find too many shortcomings too, so right now for me vim is the best I have =)
The way to think about Cloud Service is "Azure PaaS 1.0". Service Fabric is "Azure PaaS 2.0" focused on creating a micrososervice architecture for your services. Also, Azure Automation's equivalent is not strictly CloudFormation in AWS (that is Azure Resource Manager) but AWS Lambda for IT/Hybrid, it also does Configuration Management like Puppet/Chef.

I reopened my LinkedIn account after a long absence once I got into management.

It was quite surprising as I deref'd a link to the Obama administration's exit memos at just that point, but the site is apparently archived at https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/ (though not entirely, the page linking to the exit memos is there[0] but the link is dead)

By what "external power"? There's some evidence that Germans aided and financed the initial stages of Russian revolution, but its pretty weak, and its effect is unlikely to have been decisive. The revolution was largely a consequence of the war, weaker government, pissed off populace, and the fact that people didn't really know what they _really_ were signing up for. Now that several regimes have gone through the proces, we do very much know where these things end. Except for maybe the folks in their teens and mid-20s who don't study history and therefore might be doomed to eventually repeat it.
Some of the documents are missing though, the cabinet's exit memos are gone: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/administration/cabinet/...

> He's telling technical people to cater to people who aren't themselves.

Seems like indubitably's comment met both goals: being useful, catering to people who aren't the author. As someone very different from the author, I appreciated indubitably's comment.
This is a fine position to take, but it demonstrates one of our pervasive social problems. People with the humility, modesty, and judgment to make good decisions are frequently passed over because they don't feel the need to lead people along or "prove" their value, whereas clowns frequently realize they have nothing except the show and actively work to manipulate human biases in their favor so that they'll continue to climb the ladder. This works very well. The end result is that good people end up hamstrung by incompetent-at-best managers, and they can take down the ship.

The dilemma re-emerges as one asks himself whether it is right to sit by and allow the dangerously incompetent to ascend based on mind games.

My answer used to be "Yeah, I'll just go to a place where that doesn't happen". I no longer believe such places exist.

It's only the most inclusive possible development model if you narrowly define "inclusive" as "least technical friction for contribution".

Most people have a different notion of what inclusivity means, most notably having a welcoming UX with clear rubrics for contributions so that contributions have the best chance of actually being accepted.

When people complain about something being difficult for humans, promoting something that's easier on a technical level is turning a deaf ear.

I had no intention of excusing the irrationality of climate change denial. It's not that the Trump administration went in and only deleted references to climate change at noon, they replaced the entire site.

I have no expectation for them to change position and build out a portion of their new website to address climate change, why would I? I think there position is irrational but the new site design is not a place to fight it.

To give credit - Apples human interface guidelines for the original Macintosh were wonderfull in giving guidance where the UI as a concept was bound to be foreign to most. Also, the first commodity GUIs were on resource strained hardware so they could not do everything effectively.

> To the extent that it's displacing SMS, great

This is reassuringly the overwhelming majority of the market that WhatsApp is eating into.

> To the extent that it's displacing Skype/Facebook Messenger/..., meh

And in this case, it's at least not worse. Although I will argue it's still much better. As has been discussed elsewhere ad infinitum, this tradeoff in WhatsApp still allows savvy users to enable notifications. And the fact that some people will do this (and it stands to reason, the people who do this are precisely the ones who are likely to be targeted) is an effective deterrent for doing it at all.

> To the extent that people using it assume it's secure against a hostile Facebook when it isn't, that is terrible. Fake security is worse than no security.

Security is not a boolean. It is unequivocally more secure than Facebook Messenger, which we can assume is not E2E encrypted. Facebook or governments with appropriate authority can surveil this en masse. They can not do this for WhatsApp messages. Attempts to surveil these messages even at a small scale carry a high risk of tipping their hand that they're doing this surveillance at all.

1/7th of the world's population is now using E2E-encrypted messaging thanks to collaboration between WhatsApp and OWS. The number of people who need to consider Facebook or governments with control over it an active threat against them perhaps number in the hundreds to low thousands, and this affords good (if not perfect) protection even to them through a toggle, and some protection even to those who don't enable the toggle.

Anyone who is in this last group is either aware of these limitations, or is completely fucked anyway because achieving practical security against a determined, well-funded governmental adversary is frighteningly difficult and requires ongoing effort and attention.
But the fact is that it is a protocol flaw (deliberate choice or not).

The Guardian should have inserted caveats stating that this flaw is highly unlikely to have been exploited, but I would argue that not telling the people of the flaw is as bad as telling them that it's backdoored.
