>Would love to know how! Our company just move one of our department to Pune because it was hard to get H1Bs. With that I think at least 4 Americans lost their jobs.

What greedy, heartless, unpatriotic company do you work for? I'm sure a massive name-and-shame campaign against them will convince them to restore those 4 jobs.

And perhaps the Republicans could explore the possibility of imposing surcharges on fees paid to offshore development shops, to encourage a more "America First" mindset in greedy companies who lay off American workers and offshore the work.

Marketing Funnel Explained – Part 4
My background is computer science and programming. I usually take on the CTO or lead tech position - but very hands-on and as little managing as necessary. First thing I did after university was joining two guys with fitanalytics.com, a size recommendation platform for clothing, doing well meanwhile. I was very inexperienced when we started :-) later I teamed up with a former colleague to start a software-boutique. Now we're ten people.

No. The reason you have to talk to a sales person is so they can size you up and figure out how much they can charge. It's called price discrimination.
I would submit they havent won. Taxes have taken a huge bite out of their dominance, especially in a place like Portland where you pay a city, county, and state tax. Zero sum game.
It diminishes the accomplishments of entrepreneurs, and the sacrifices they've made. If they only have large equity stakes in the companies they founded because they're "privileged" it casts them as undeserving of the wealth they acquired.

I'm glad to hear that. I've played with the new macbooks a few times at a local Apple Store and have been delighted with them, and can't wait to get a new one at work. The keyboard was probably my favorite part as well, and that black one is really nice looking.
I think you have that backward. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa:

> The regulations define a "specialty occupation" as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including but not limited to biotechnology, chemistry, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor's degree or its equivalent as a minimum (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability"). Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field.
That's true. It's hard to say. I do know that it was thought that forcing schools to not be segregated would cause the contact hypothesis to come into play and reduce prejudice in children. It was a part of Brown vs. Board of Education. That seems to have worked too, but that was for children. They may not have had much prejudice to begin with.

>You think that you need your computers up to date because you are a geek and you must stay up to date to remain competent.

Nah, I think I need a new computer because the $900 one I have (4 core haswell oc to 4.6 Ghz, 16 GB ram, 3 drives) and the $600 server I have (4 core Sandy, xeon, 32 GB ram, 5 drives), take anywhere between 2 days and 3 weeks to finish the tasks I throw at them regularly.

Between the MLC SSDs, tons of RAM, ton of CPU power, for $1500, I wouldn't even look at MBP from the current batch, let alone one from the last one.

I am a geek, I am competent, and I am fully planning on two new computers this year. Just waiting to see how Zen turns out.

64GB Ram / ea. 1 GB SSDs, probably on ZFS, 8 cores / 16 threads (to stay in the cheap consumer range). This will probably be doable for under $2k.

So, as a geek, this is what I do to remain competent, hardware wise.

TLDR: You can't just assume that because you don't need a more powerful hardware for blogging or what have you, that the rest of us also don't need one.

I can't manage with less, because life is short.

This is Googles captcha system and its used by a bunch of services. It has nothing to do with Mailchimp (except that they use reCAPTCHA) so changing mailing list provider for this might not be a wise idea.

You might need to distill off the methanol that might be present, if you're blacking out. Had a similar problem with some homebrew wine where a glass tossed me to blacking out (yet I can toss back a half pint of vodka without too much issue.) Turned out there was a good amount of methanol in there.

Section 2.

That's what matters if you're an Indian with an I-140 dated 2009, afraid to change his H1B job, despite salary or personnel issues. (Also, ask me about why I'm not starting up).

That one section prevents this "you can quit anytime you feel like" threat held over Indian employees by employers, because an I-140 for the employee is issued to the employer.

An employee with mobility between employers is no longer forcing the wages down.

That does not prevent a company from sending the same job to India, because it suddenly costs so much, but it does prevent the lowering of wages due to people putting up with abusive or near-illegal employment practices.

This is good for the local economy and basically makes an "outsourcing" employee irresponsible if she doesn't jump to an american firm who will do her paperwork right.

Raising the salaries all around.

(delete mini-rant about living expenses and salaries - increased pay all around isn't always what it's cracked up to be)

That section alone, shifts the balance of power between an employer and an H1b holder.
Countries like the Soviet Union had much more importance
as they were the main supporters of 1934 "Asturias'
revolution" that tried to make Spain a proletarian
dictatorship and URSS satellite. Stalin will influence the
war removing Largo Caballero and putting his lackey Negrin
as leader of the republicans.

Germany also had great influence as they considered
essential not letting his enemy URSS get more power in
Spain.

This is so not true.

In fact, the "Asturias Revolution" of 1934 was organized by anarquists (CNT) and social democrats (UGT) and anti-stalinist communist groups like the (BOC).

The pro-russian Communist Party in Spain had little support among Spanish workers, and it only gained power after the country was long into war and the URSS became the only international supporter of the Spanish goverment.

Germany supported the rebellion since early on because of their affiliation with the fascists ideas of the uprising in the 1936 coup-de-etat.

Your views reflect the historical revisionism of the Spanish right wing to paint Franco as someone that saved Spain from the soviets. However, the uprising was motivated by the loss of power from the Church, big land-owners and capitalists during the republic.
Yes, I'd agree with this. The agency comment was more aimed at the medium- to large-sized agencies rather than small, young ones (I kinda see them more as freelancers when it's an agency of 2-7).

Also it's a big variance of caring, some big agencies do care a lot but they're rare and hard to find. Some staff turn up late and are hungover every other morning. It's a wide range but I was trying to average it out!
YMMV - I'm not a great fan either - but the market in toto will tell if they're on the right track.
FWIW, reading this from the other side of the pond (which suddenly got way cheaper), I would not come to NYC or SV for $130k. I can cope much better on much less and I don't have to 'create $130k+" of value every to justify my employment.
In other words this bill may work a little too well - even if some companies are willing to pay that much it's no longer that attractive to come over and match those expectations...

By definition, increasing barriers to entry, drives supply down. Holding demand constant, and assuming price elasticity: Lowering supply, increases "prices" (in this case salaries).

Assumption, demand is constant: I'm talking about demand in the economic sense, i.e. The demand curve. The demand curve is left unchanged by this bill. i.e. We still need the same number of software developers, and for any $X/person companies are willing to hire Y number of people.

Assumption, Price Elasticity: For the most part this assumption holds because, fortunately, software companies do seem to be making profits. Implying, they have the means to increase wages.

All in all, this is in the best interest of any person in a profession where many H1-Bs currently hold a position, and whose company is currently profitable.
>external displays over USB

There's been plenty of pressure for Apple to show it is not on the decline since the 90s.

The "Apple Hype Peaked; nowhere to go but down" and "Does [decision or product] prove Apple as lost its way?" articles are pretty much the canonical lazy tech-journalist's go-to piece when there's nothing else to write.

I say this as a longtime Apple fan who is reluctantly concluding they're moving away from me (don't like the new laptops, don't like paying RAM markups, don't care about always-on voice, etc.)

If you think Apple is lying, I'd strongly encourage you to start shorting now - that won't stay secret long, and you'll make a bundle!
I think it's hugely ironic the 'U' in 'USB' stands for 'Universal'.

Don't forget parity drives for availability take away from usable storage.

NAS #1 is 12 x 4TB with 2 drives used for parity.

NAS #2 is 20 x 6TB with 4 drives used for parity.

That takes away roughly 32TB of usable space under zfs.
NAS #1 has 40TB usable.
NAS #2 has 96TB usable.
Total 136TB usable.

The remainder of the drives not accounted in the list above are in workstations for local storage and other random tasks.

I'd be curious if there are any existing example implementations that you think demonstrate this - I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how flattening the structure would make things better.

> MacBook Pros have generally not included this class of graphics hardware

Isn't this a larger problem? It's not just graphics anymore; it's the ability to work on basic ML. Even the top of the line GPU you can fit in a laptop is barely enough to handle this, and Apple seems to prefer to believe that need doesn't exist.

Hell, even the Mac Pro has anemic and HUGELY overpriced compute options.

And forget about Vulcan.
Having used a MacBook 12 as my main machine for the last 3 months the main reason is that it's redundant. Most days the battery lasts the entire day so you end up plugging it into recharge overnight just like a cellphone.

So it ends up being rare that you have the laptop plugged in while you are actually working with it.

The MacBook 12 is probably the best laptop I've owned even if spec wise it was a downgrade from the MacBook Pro 13 I was previously using.

Yes from online play but there aren't any official rankings. It's hard to determine exact rankings because it's rare for 2 world class players to face off over a large enough number of hands to give a significant sample but a loose hierarchy does exist. You can tell where a player sits in that hierarchy by who he is willing or unwilling to play. It's not an exact science but I agree that all of these players are unquestionably elite and the AI has beaten them to an extent that it would be a very strong favourite over a team compromising of the true top 4 players.

For the time being, I have compromised by remaining a SAF member, since they haven't formally endorsed Sessions (and they can't, as a 501(c)3), and are not involved in any court cases that do not pertain to gun rights. Meanwhile, I have terminated my CCRKBA membership, and called them and explained why I did so.

That said, it is still a very uneasy compromise, because the person who uttered all the things I consider despicable on behalf of CCRKBA is also the person who is the founder and the most prominent spokesperson of SAF, and my conscience only permits so much ability to distinguish their opinions depending on which "hat" they wear.

My takeaway from all this is that there's no bipartisan gun rights organization in US, and there probably cannot be in the current political climate. Thus, pro-gun liberals have to establish their own, that would be the left-wing counterpart to NRA and SAF.

The good thing is that with all the tumult that the Democratic party is going through right now, with a massive grassroots platform rewrite going on, this is the time to speak up about this sort of thing. Pay attention to new left-wing groups that spring up promising to upend the status quo on the left. Check their platform and issues. If they do speak about gun control (most do), and you see something there that you believe is wrong, get in touch with them, and let them know that 1) you're on their side in general, but 2) you do not agree with them on this, and here's why.

To give a specific example, here's Justice Democrats (essentially an attempt to formally organize a "Sanders wing" of the party):

https://justicedemocrats.com/platform/

If you scroll down, you'll see "Enact common-sense gun regulation" bullet point, and a bunch of stuff underneath. If you find anything disagreeable, email them, with a polite and well-reasoned refutation. I did that, and they actually replied and told me that they're still in the process of hashing the platform out, and are listening to all feedback.

In the meantime, a good way to get left-wing politicians to notice us is via the Liberal Gun Club. It's not a political organization, and it isn't involved in legal fights, so it's not an NRA/SAF replacement. But it is a focal point to assemble forces; and if it has enough members, it can be used as a foundation to build future organizations, and to draw attention in intraparty politics.
just guessing, maybe they mean the whole facility.

There is a problem: cryptographic solutions (like blockchain) cannot help build trust, only to maintain it. If a driver loses trust, they can just create a new private key and now they're up and running without any bad reviews again.
I do not think so.

Everything mostly follows the path of least resistance. Economy, finance, etc. The actual law of the land is and will always be: profit.

H-1B was a viable way to make profit, so it became popular. Once it is not longer profitable, people will look for something else.

Will the new way be hiring American workers? maybe... Maybe it will be hiring from coding camps for less, maybe it is moving to another country, or almost anything.

It doesn't necessarily have to be hiring Americans computer science graduates. Someone will find the way and everyone will follow.

Most schools are not very good and have very low admissions criteria. These programs operate as cash cows for the university and students come with the intent to find a US employer to hire them. It's why graduate programs in Computer Science are primarily international students, it's not that they're better it's just that the vast majority of them want a job in the US.
Also for security reasons alone!

I once sent feedback citing security as a moral hazard that someone would get fired over, as the reason IE8 needed to be ditched.

IANAL, and it's complicated - there was the UK-China "handover" treaty that guarantees the 50 yrs of autonomy, starting from the 1997 handover.

If you look at the Wikipedia article for Greatest Common Divisor, you see this:

gcd(a, 0) = a
gcd(a, b) = gcd(b, a mod b)

That, in effect, is what pattern matching + function heads gives you. You can copy that function directly into ML or Erlang, modulo a couple tiny bits of syntax.

gcd(A, 0) -> A;
gcd(A, B) -> gcd(B, A rem B).
