> the anus has no use without the mouth - but (in my naive understanding) it means that somewhere beyond this ancestor, certain groups of vertibrates split and went in opposite directions despite both being (presumably) decended from this thing.

I understand the story differently: there were animals with a single opening. Then the animals with two openings evolved, but more than once, based on the animals we have today, there are at least two different evolution internal mechanisms to more than one opening: it's just how the cellular mechanisms work during the cell division (meaning the "programs" driving them are different). We can't say there were ever "anus-only" animals just as we can't say there were "mouth-only" animals. There were single-opening animals and then there were two internal mechanisms leading to the two-opening animals.

Yep, I made Tandem open source here: https://github.com/tandemcode/tandem

It is a bit like WebFlow, but focused more-so on the coding aspect. Tandem integrates with your text editor, encourages you to write code instead of using the design tools to all of your UI work -- they're mostly there for UI adjustments, and to create features that are hard to code by hand.

This article is bound to get critiqued for its morality-based reasoning. While I agree with that, it'll be hard to get anyone to agree, especially founders who by definition believe in (one definition of) meritocracy.

But there is, I believe, also a business case for it, especially if the employees' equity comes, at least partially, from the VC's share: Diverse ownership may result in better decision-making, it makes you less dependant on one or a few large stakeholders, and can make unfriendly takeovers harder. It's obviously a great motivational tool and inspires loyalty. Most startups fail, so it's not completely unlikely that you'll end up working for one of your employees' startup next year, and people tend to have good memories.

In as far as such a model could reduce income inequality across societies, you're also helping to alleviate all the problems associated with that. Inequality has been shown to correlate with crime, political instability, and a few other things that founders would try to avoid even if only interested in their own well-being. (This isn't a perfect fit for tec startups in the US where salaries are already quite high, but as mentioned in the article, there are countries where unpaid internships are a mainstay for startups).
It's slightly more than inflation, but as it does not index to inflation it's going to quickly become meaningless.
Thing is that the whole of US isn't Silicon Valley or Seattle. Startups in upcoming hubs like Portland and Boulder will suffer(sic) because the salary requirements are too high for them to satisfy given the living costs.

It basically means that the only companies who are gonna be able to hire through H1Bs are the big cos or unicorns.

What about all the people that work for VW, though? You can't hold all of those people accountable for what happened. It would be better to punish the individuals who encouraged it and those who knew but turned a blind a eye.
Exactly this. If they can force you to give them a fingerprint, but not a password, just reset the phone. You haven't destroyed anything, the data is still there, it's just inaccessible without the password.
If the $60,000 from 1989 had been indexed on inflation, it would be $115,000 now. So, 130k doesn't seem so unreasonable. Of course, that does exclude states and cities with a lower cost of living.

It would really make more sense to just index it to inflation or even better to the cost of live of the city where the employee would work (but that would potentially leave some loopholes)

> non-philosophical argument that takes for granted what it should investigate.

It has been investigated. The experimental findings of genetics could prune out lots and lots of prior nonsense, the way a backtracking tree-pruning search algorithm would do. Philosophy need to be constantly revisited, to be up to date with what is proven to be the case.

One implication of genetics is that life is proved to be a "mechanical process" - in other words, there is nothing "extra" to it. God is proved to be dead.

The inquiry is quite short. As long as we have established that the mind is what the brain does, and brain is a product of this particular spot of the universe (it requires water, atoms and certain temperature) every concept produced by the mind is withing this closure, not parallel or outside of it. As an Indian philosopher would say, I am That (Brahman - the universe, what is), not something else. A lot of western bullshit could be pruned out that way.

You know, in the Pirsig's book the hero dismissed Indian philosophy, by attending a wrong sect of extreme advaitists, who are naively postulating that everything is an illusion.

To find the distinction where "what is" ends and an illusion (self-conditioning) produced by mind (and society) begins is the task of philosophy as an endeavor, not some scholastic branch. This is the way to see "That" more clearly.

"Before knowing what is lies outside know what lies within" as the ancient saying goes. Know how the instrument works before make any measurements.

Reading the article it doesn't sound like this bill does anything to make it easier for the employee to find a different job once they are here (e.g. Making it easier for other employers to take on sponsorship of the H1-B visa.)

The article says this bill makes it easier for students to get a path to citizenship but doesn't say anything about H1-B workers.

I also don't think the salary requirement is necessarily a win for people who want to come over here as an H1-B worker. The gap is so big it is likely that employers will find someone over here rather than eat the $60k salary increase in some cases. It will be a win for anyone who was going to be close to that new $130k minimum where a big company may just soak the increase.

We really need to replace the H1-B program with something that empowers the employees and allows them to switch jobs and have a clear and easy path to citizenship.

A common rightist tactic was also to claim that that the president of the United States was an ineligible non-Christian non-citizen, despite all evidence to the contrary. This was done by elected leaders and representatives of a major political party, not just random people on Twitter. That kind of callous disregard for fact removes the possibility of civil debate and drives people away in a similar fashion as screaming "Hitler" constantly.
It's not particularly hard to interface with an external payment processor like PayPal, Stripe, etc.

The situation in most Asian countries is a bit different from markets like the US or Australia. Here in Australia, I use cash maybe once every two weeks, it's very rare for me to have more than $30-40 in my wallet - I often have no cash at all.

I suspect the real reason here is that credit cards aren't anonymous and are contrary to the ethos of the author here.

>(noise, pollution, congestion, and of course occasionally killing people)

Again, if we want to limit these things, we should make laws about them directly, rather than arbitrarily limiting one of their causes. Solutions to negative externalities should be primarily based on internalising those externalities, so the market has an incentive to seek alternatives.

What happens if someone invents a more expensive, but quiet and non-polluting taxi? (Which of course, they have.) If you limit the number of taxis, everyone uses the cheaper ones to maximise profit, and you still get some noise and pollution. Whereas if you tax the noise and pollution and it becomes cheaper to buy electric taxis, you've eliminated the noise and pollution entirely.

if the purpose of a license is to verify that a particular person
or business entity has satisfied some regulatory requirements

That's not always the purpose of a license. In some instances, the license is to regulate access to a particular activity or device (e.g. gun licenses, or driving licenses).

In some instances it's simply a tax on an activity (UK TV license, UK road fund license).

In some instances, it's to manage a resource (fishing quotas).

then license is basically just an access fee to gain entry to
a market artificially closed off by the government.

That's not necessarily a wrong thing. In the case of fishing quotas, it's to ensure that use of the resource is sustainable.

I wouldn't argue that it's correct to apply that thinking to the medallion system - after all, I'm not sure the NYC population is going to be 'fished out' by an oversupply of taxis - and if it's to ensure a floor on taxi income so that the taxis meet a certain quality, then there are better ways (e.g. regulation) to do that.

I don't see that the sale of medallion licenses is an issue per-se, but that critiques of license-sales are essentially critiques of the medallion system itself.
It does help a lot in many instances. I've been using 0MQ for this purpose, which facilitates the style nicely. However, things like setup/teardown and configuration are still not at all easy to get right -- and not all problems are apt for this style of concurrency, and it doesn't really change much about optimization; getting the most out of the platform is difficult and takes time, CSP doesn't really make a big difference there.

I'm 32 and I was in a similar situation a few years ago, so I decided to do a masters with focus on embedded systems hoping that would help me land a job in that area. I've been applying for positions in the embedded industry (mostly entry-level) for the last 5 months and haven't gotten a single invitation to interview yet. The answers I get are similar to what the OP described.

At this point I'm feeling like those two years could have been better spent working on side projects.

They aren't as overpriced in Europe, parts are cheaper which offsets the relatively lousy reliability (compared to Japanese cars), also the second-hand car market and the second hand parts market are huge here.

Basically Japanese cars ARE considered more reliable, but precisely for that reason they're seen as more premium than VW, which itself is the most expensive of "ordinary" brands.

"The gap is so big it is likely that employers will find someone over here rather than eat the $60k salary increase in some cases"

I don't see the problem. I can't imagine a job that's only worth $70,000 being so "specialized" that it the company couldn't have found someone that was already in the U.S. to fill. The company was probably taking advantage of the program anyway to get cheap labor.

This makes sense from a distance. Such employees are supposed to be specialists, not hired for the purpose of undercutting wages. I'm not in the bay area, but if you're bringing in a specialist from another country because you can't find one here, this sounds like the sort of wage that person ought to have.

Whether this restriction makes sense in the first place is a different question, but this does sound like it fits the spirit of the h1-b.

I'd be curious to hear an opposing claim on this as I don't know a great deal about it and wonder if I'm missing something.

Finding new hardworking employees is difficult.

If he's hardworking and senior he probably deserves a performance improvement plan to improve output and meet goals.

Sometimes employees need a refresher on what their goals are in this case they have probably changed/increased over time.

So meet with him and lay out some goals, expectations. Document them and have a monthly meeting to go over them stress it's important to increase productivity to keep his position.

Good luck.

Read the article. It is indexed to 35% above the median wage for a computer worker according to some of existing Department of Labor category. That median wage presumably will indirectly rise with inflation, so it's better than the previous static # and arguably more tied to the intent of the statute than even pure inflation indexing would be.
