There are spots where a vertex would have two hexagons at it rather than three.

For instance, look at the border between the upper left and lower left islands. In this picture, those two islands are only touching along a third of the border that they share on the sphere. If you look at the leftmost point of where they are touching in this picture, that's a vertex that would have only two hexagons.

How long had you been doing the night owl schedule before that? You're trying to break a habit that you've been forming for years in a matter of weeks (for the record, I was a self proclaimed night owl until about a year ago)
And if wages increased? I'm going to disregard those with families, it's hard for anyone to compete with dependents.

Also, are you talking about Americans, or workers on visas? It sounds like the latter, but I was talking about the former, i.e. American IT workers can keep wages/conditions up by choosing startups if things start to drop, in a way I doubt agriculture workers could.

You aren't by any chance interested in separating that, in hosting a server which gives a link to a good flickr image when given a word? I searched for something like that and in the end stayed with my ugly approach of parsing flickriver for getting a random image from a hard-coded group with a fitting topic.

Flickr already does this if you use their search API. The Flickr part of the script in my Github repo has an example.
I also find my sleep schedule to be flexible (although I'd be wary of your assumption that this is true for everyone.)

I find that the key ingredient is others' expectations. If I'm going to be arriving at a workplace with the person I report to sitting right opposite me, and sleeping in means arriving an hour or more after them, then I can get in gear, avoid pressing snooze, and catch the 07:33. At my previous job, the norm was to arrive between 10 and 11: I was rarely up more than 15 minutes before my carpool arrived, and the idea of getting up earlier regularly gave me headaches.

Edit: some stuff I've done for a while: no caffeine after 18:00, no blue light after 21:00. Falling asleep is much harder if I don't do these things.

as you are also admitting in a subtle way, anglo-centric.

I don't think there was anything subtle about it. (I do think anglo-centric is the wrong word to use, unless you mean English-language, or England in particular.)

The consequence is that you attribute more importance to issues related to your cultural area of influence.

That's natural for anyone, to some extent. I'm sure you and I have different interests based on our, um, different interests.

This seems to be the crux of it for you. I'm sure there are a couple instances of people saying this, sheerly because of the number of comments that have been posted over the years. Can you come up with support for this statement?

attributes to perception biases any mention of the problem

You'll need to be specific here, because otherwise it's difficult to ascertain whether or not it's perception or not. And, honestly, to move the discussion forward, I don't know how useful anecdotal evidence by you or I is going to be able to do that. You blew past my comment regarding other political submissions flagged, and in the previous thread you reference above, didn't address another's comment that submissions related to the Orlando attacks were flagged as well.

Even your post goes in this direction.

Will you elaborate? I do think there's a lot to perception bias. I check myself for it often. I've gone through threads a number of times, assessing comments for bias one way or another, both to check my own bias and others, when they make comments such as yours.
After a couple hours I have to concede the discussion here is more civil than the average. When I wrote my comment there was still a bunch of chaff but now it's been either downvoted, or the replies sparked a decent discussion.
Keep in mind, a large amount of those applications are pushed by outsourcing companies, that are gaming the system.

"Federal officials allow only one application for each foreign worker, but companies can submit an unlimited number of applications for their employees, so global outsourcing giants can, and do, submit many requests."

And one third of all approved H1Bs are for those outsourcing firms.

The spammed requests by these firms make it more difficult for foreign workers to get through this process, too, unless they work for these outsourcing firms.

>If you think "but everything alters your chemical makeup" is a sufficient rebuttal

Considering that the original claim had no depth to it what so ever other than attempting to grandstand, it is odd you feel to have two completely different standards here. You have to point out why it isn't a sufficient rebuttal other than saying it doesn't. Time for some intellectual honesty. Or you can just blanket label people that consume certain things as having a "crutch" with absolutely no basis for such a claim.

> when all it's proven is otherwise.

Where's the evidence for this?
Which three? If they're the ones I think you mean - then you've forgotten about the old tech called "dead tree" and "graphite" (or whatever your preferred medium)...
I was originally against it but now I'm neutral on it. Most of the exploits are intentionally put there by companies that have enough money & expertise to avoid them. The bigger ones have enough money to make compilers and CPU's that make the software immune to code injection. Microsoft even has Steve Lipner who did one of projects (below) that taught me high-assurance security. Like them, his philosophy is shipping product over correctness since that is what market rewards. As for market, they almost always buy something insecure over something more secure if even the slightest extra benefit in insecure thing. You can't get them to use something secure even when it's free (eg Signal).

So, what you should be thinking is you and/or other people are using and financially rewarding companies that intentionally leave vulnerabilities in software. Is that morally right? Probably not. Is someone making money off those vulnerabilities morally right? Probably not. The first seems worse, though, as the vulnerability market would be tiny if it wasn't happening. They'd command higher prices but even that would mean less damage.

Two weeks ago, I had faith in the process.

I'm rapidly losing that faith.

Where I live, we have 30,000 Somali immigrants (and some of their US-born citizen children). I'm starting to think of what we would have to do to hide Somalis in our house to protect them from arrest and deportation. And you think you're upset? Why on Earth should I ever have to consider hiding people in my house, here in America?

>If adults can't pass a "screening test geared toward a ninth-grade education", we're either teaching the wrong things (useless subjects with no practical applications) or we're teaching it the wrong way. Higher education is too late to solve this.

Agreed, but the public is equally opposed to standardized tests, the only way to detect that the schools are placing a student in 11th grade despite being functionally illiterate.
There are like tens of posts on HN where the same discussion about the artificial suppression of American wages because of the foreign STEM graduates. The consensus among most of the people is that,

1) The exploitation of the visa's by consulting companies should be avoided.

2) Allow the foreign workers to easily move between jobs and provide a path to Green cards which avoids labor exploitation and low wages issue.

3) More funding for STEM education in US.

As per the down votes, I guess you are getting them because you are criticizing the H4 spouse visa's. By all means make sure they follow the norms like H1, but letting the spouses work helps their families and eventually American economy to a minuscule percent.

I don't have any problem believing this can run on real hardware. One of the programmers, Tursi, has done some amazing things that do indeed run on the real thing.

I'm not sure what you're counting as "vanilla", but a TI with the Speech Synthesizer and the 32K RAM expansion is vanilla to me. Those are utterly ubiquitous and period-correct OEM upgrades.

If it required the F18A, which is an FPGA implementation of the TMS9918 graphics chip with some significant new features on it, I'd agree that wouldn't count. That chip makes it a totally different graphics machine.
Just because some of the people you disagree with are muddleheaded doesn't mean that all of them are. And just because you see an imprecise description of a behavior doesn't mean that behavior does not exist.

"Racism" is a catch-all for the typical set of human behavior directed towards out-groups. This includes distrust, aggression, and in-group signaling. It doesn't matter what defines out-group: dress, gender, skin color, etc, but is generally something tied to identity, something easy to recognize and hard to change. Negative feelings get amplified and applied to all members of the group while positive feelings are suppressed.

In its most extreme form, this permission-to-otherness motivates genocide. Slightly farther down, slavery. Waaaay at the other end it manifests as nervousness around Koreans or something. This is just human nature. There are quite a few things in our nature we no longer casually tolerate in society and work to eliminate. Like ignorance or incest.

But on top of that, context matters. In a situation with heavy power asymmetry, both protagonists may harbor "racist" feelings, but the only attitude that matters to outcome is the attitude of the one with the power. If you feel you're being held to a higher standard, its probably because you are.

"Racism" as used, say, in the 50s, was shorthand for "institutional racism". The game had been rigged against minorities, most especially blacks, to the point that the law told them where to live and eat, who they could and could not marry, etc. This was enforced day to day by the actions of regular people employing regular, everyday racism directed downwards in a situation of power asymmetry.

Since then the institutional stuff has largely been dismantled or covered with tarps, and institutional "fixes" applied, often unevenly and stupidly, but that's also human nature.

GameInternals – Understanding Pac-Man Ghost Behavior
A lot of EU countries have programs that do not tie the work visa with a specific job, at least for engineers. On the top of my head, Portugal,Sweden,Germany and Belgium do and France with implement some form of "tech visa" like that. Canada does too AFAIK. I think it's fair. "H1-B" should be paid as much as their local equivalent and shouldn't fear being fired.
I don't know the process, but 2 of my (American) coworkers recently left my company (in the US) to work for companies in Europe.

Didn't seem at all hard to get to work there. Don't know about permanent residency, though.
It was a random sampling of songs that I was already playing while I was writing that. All my music is either folk (with a lot of Irish and American folk), rock, or indie. If you like though, you could try it yourself.

The great (or perhaps, not, depending on what you want) thing about the Flickr search is that it picks from a set of curated photos, so it's highly unlikely you'll get an unpleasant one. However since it is picking random pictures from the internet, don't run it where you'd get into trouble if something inappropriate does manage to come up.
Right, until that other country elects an orange demagogue that utilizes popular discontent to demonize you and cut off that flow of talent, regardless of the mutually assured harm. Societies are fickle, especially in times of war or increasing tensions. A well maintained local talent pool and industrial capacity subsidized against foreign economic forces are not.

Relying on other nations is the exact opposite of national security and it's naive to think that they will be by our side when shit hits the fan. We've seen too much in the last hundred years to leave our most critical industries to chance.
Well, to be fair, it's because someone's handing out free money in the form of subsidized rides. The fact that hailing a taxi is more expensive (nevermind less convenient) is a strong argument when the consumer is making a choice.

Wrapped in that argument is the obvious idea that Uber is burning investor money to capture the market, but you can't expect consumers to protest by paying more. That's what's so insidious about market capture; everyone is behaving rationally in their own self interest, but the outcome can become monopolistic, with increasing returns to the monopolist.

That's why it's traditionally been the role of the government to break up monopolies, because the market won't sort itself out. It's just that today's digital monopolies smell a little different, and the appetite for government intervention is lower than it used to be (perhaps because we don't remember catastrophic failings of the market quite as sharply as we used to -- 401ks being decimated is one thing, but bread lines and starvation are another).

So yeah, I think Uber's potentially dangerous. But I use it. Definitely some mental frisson, but I've spent time trying to fathom it and this is the best mental gymnastics I can manage.
That is a fair point - agree that there is no clear threshold on the "quality" of education provided by various universities. Thus admissions into the lower rung of universities is quite easy which can be exploited. I didn't want to get into this as it opens another can of worms on whether US universities should be certified to give an OPT period (which eventually becomes a stepping stone for H1-Bs).

Do you have any suggestions here?

>When they are available it is usually 5$ for a "rental". Is that a joke? I used to pay that at Blockbuster, and they had a physical location and employees! They've priced their digital content in such a way that I will only pay to see the movies that I really want to see. If it was cheaper, I'd be a constant consumer.

I don't see anything wrong with that pricing. Physical store and employees = time consuming and inconvenient. You should expect to pay a little more not evening having to leave your home to rent a movie, nor having to leave it again to return the movie.

That said, good point about a lower price driving more sales. I assume the current price is optimized for total revenue, but who knows. And yes, the more expensive the rental, the more some will pirate it instead.
Yeah, if it's only a couple of hours shift then there's not a huge difference, you just do chores a little later than morning people.

I'm thinking more in terms of the true night people, those like in the grandparent comment who don't really start working until noon and stop at 9:30 or 10.

There's real practical blockers to just doing chores on a time shift there. You can't do a lot of errands at 10:30 at night, most places are closed. You can do some stuff, like pick up groceries, but most businesses are closed by 9pm.

My admittedly biased perception is that night people tend to be younger and have fewer responsibilities that need their time. Instead of making dinner they just eat out most of the time.

Please stop talking about things you have no clue about. I have been in the US for 3+ years now on a H1B visa and during all this time my wife, who has an MBA, is not allowed to work here - which is absolute garbage. The change was the right one in the right direction, but not enough.

You also greatly overestimate the amount of competent people in the US. Most companies, like FB and Google and Uber, and not hiring from abroad because its cheaper. They are doing it because there are not enough competent people in the US to fill the jobs.

The companies abusing H1Bs are a different story, and those should be handled.
