Not true. The limitation in "job liquidity" means less competition for Americans for jobs that immigrants might underbid.

If the law were rigidly enforced so that only jobs allowed under H1-B were a job that no American could do then there would be far, far fewer than 85,000 H1-B Visas granted per year.

In many cases, I'll bet the companies intentionally put the jobs not where people want to live (e.g., NYC, Boston, DC, ...) but in places they don't necessarily want to live.
I was going to complain about churn and such, but we've all heard the JavaScript framework fatigue story a thousand times.

I'll summarize it to this: don't expect a solid, stable, boring library to come out of someone's hobby project.

React itself bloomed under Facebook's stewardship, while all the other libraries in the ecosystem are bouncing all over the place without anything to keep them in place, especially after they lose their initial shine and geek points.

Kudos to the authors for their achievements. I don't recall you promising anything to anybody, so any code you put out contributes something to the world, even if you get bored and change the API from procedural to declarative and back three times a day.

>No one predicts "an absence of effect"

In my field, we most certainly do predict an absence of an effect, in the following sense:

1. if a manipulation does not have an effect on the system, then we expect no systematic deviations in the measurement distribution

2. point 1 will be revealed by H0 (no systematic change in measurement distribution across conditions) not being rejected.

It's beginning to sound like you've encountered people who misuse or misinterpret this technique -- and I agree that there are alarmingly many such people -- but this is different from the technique being invalid.
How many production systems have you come across that could be dumped onto the public without any cleaning? Credentials, build systems, personal information, patent use, are a couple of examples that I've seen in prod code that couldn't or shouldn't be included.

Assuming the cost of open sourcing something is zero, even if it's just a zip dump, is usually not correct.

Do you still use Quip at all? Paper looks nice, but I don't see any reason to switch from Quip.
I don't. I've given what I've thought to be well balanced and scientifically backed statements about GMOs being safe because of the all the testing, and have even used the same terminology that you have, saying they are neither inherently safe or unsafe, and have been viciously attacked by pro-GMO supporters for not blindly saying they are inherently safe. And in almost all cases the background of the posters that attacked me either worked in the industry or a mod of /r/GMOMyths/ or the like. The funny thing is that anywhere I post, they come out of the woodwork, as if they have bots that are constantly scanning various forums for keywords.

It's not merely an attack of people with stupid uninformed opinions. It's a tobacco industry style propaganda campaign that attacks anyone that is not 100% patriotically behind GMOs.
Having grown with subtitles for all movies I watched since childhood, I think subtitles are the best compromise and no, I don't feel the need to keep reading if I understand the dialogue. Don't know how to explain it, it's very automatic.

For me it's dubbing that's absolutely awful, because I want to hear the real voices of the actors, plus I learned English and a little Italian and French by watching movies with subtitles. I don't understand countries where dubbing is the norm, I hope it never catches on in my country.

Kaptivo: Make any whiteboard smart
^^^^ This is why you research an industry before you go into it unless you want to lose your shirt. If you build or own something physical, people will pay to rent it from you. If it's something virtual, they'll put the same value on it that you put on completed movies as a consumer, a few bucks that bears no relation whatsoever to the effort you had to invest.

In hollywood you are nobody until you have some credits, and you don't get any credits until you have done some work, and you don't get hired if you're a nobody so you'd better be prepared to give it away and keep giving for a while until people come looking for you, at which point you practice saying 'no' a lot and meaning it. One of my more memorable gigs was on a film that I turned down because the pay was too low. So they went with someone else but he did such a bad job they dumped him and came back to me offering twice as much midway through the production. Sadly the film never got released, as they tried to cheap out on everything the same way, resulting in injuries, some unusable footage, and an absentee director who vanished rather than get sued. Oddly enough I got a lot of follow-up gigs from that disaster - suffering builds bonds and boy did we suffer on that job.

He's in power... but he's not in total power. The panic creates the chaos that gives him the mechanism to take total power "to restore order" or "to save democracy" or whatever. Don't give him that opportunity.

Look, oppose him. Oppose him every single time he tries to act like a tyrant instead of a president. Do so through the existing mechanisms of political and legal power. (And thank whatever powers you think there are that the founders gave nobody power that somebody else couldn't block.) But don't oppose him in panic. Determination, yes, but not panic.

Finding Credibility Clues in Twitter
Not defending our evil corporate overlords, but from a little inside experience, it's not just about saving money on some code. It's often about the whole business strategy, with a healthy dose of CYA - the "toxicity" of GPL and AGPL restricts what they can do with a product, in a way that can make it unviable, or that would require a legal team to sort things out.

For instance, company I work in develops software for a customer that later sells it to various corporations, big and small. Were I to include an GPL dependency in the code, and were it to pass unnoticed by my boss and our customer, it could quickly turn out into a legal clusterfuck with damages orders of magnitude larger than my salary. So we do have a list of open source licenses that are allowed for dependencies of projects for our customer, and GPL/AGPL are prominently not on that list.

Now if there was some critical piece of code we absolutely need and there's no non-GPL alternative, I could ask my boss to talk to his boss to talk to the lawyers to figure something out. But in 99% of cases, you'll be asked to "Google harder", and then you'll find something with a "better" OS license - so it's easiest for the management to ban GPL by default (or, in our case, create a whitelist of allowed licenses).

(I desperately tried to get WTFPL on the whitelist list, but failed :(.)
There's another big factor for me: price should reflect how much the business deserves.

This is why I hate paying Comcast's prices but wouldn't mind them if I business I didn't hate charged the same amount.

It's also why I hate paying the same price for a Kindle book as a regular book, when I can't even hand the book to someone else after I'm done with it. If it was being bought from the author, maybe. From a publisher or distributor -- no way. I'll borrow a friend's or torrent it, just to not give you money.
When you put it like that, fences on both sides seem a proper friendly gesture...
Make sure you really want to do this, before you do it...

It's one thing to learn COBOL as a hobby, but as someone who has been inside a COBOL shop (actually, the language was DB/C - which is a variant of COBOL, but close enough), and implemented a (very, very simple) web server in it (and during a "training" period at this company - I also made a breakout clone - let's just say it is possible, but barely playable) - you might not want to do this full time.

Seriously - some of the stuff I saw (and this was over a decade ago) made you want to scream. Maybe things have changed somewhat (I will give the company I worked for credit in one area: GO TO was verboten in all but one situation, which had to do with error trapping logic), but you'll still have to deal with all that old code (some of which may be older than you are!). There's a reason no one wants to touch it, and why not much "new blood" is looking to get involved with it.

That said, newer versions/variants of COBOL have added OOP features and whatnot, plus there are a few other fun areas (DB/C actually had a Java-based VM for it when I last worked at that company, which allowed for some interesting things to be done - one of which was a SQL-like ODBC bridge to the flat-file "database", so you could query it).

I'm not sure whether you'd be able to make big $$$ as a newbie, though. That money typically (I would expect) is reserved for old guys who did it for years, and are fixing critical areas on-demand in a consulting/contract gig.

I gave the idea of doing COBOL back then about 30 seconds of thought, and decided it wasn't worth the pain or potential pigeonholing. Between COBOL and EDI - I'm not sure which is worse (and a combo between them - ugh, shudder).

Not only that, but every time a page load happens. There is a cronjob that gets executed.

I still see a problem with this. If GM crops are capable of being wind blown how does his activity differ at all from someone trying to naturally select for crops with herbicide resistance?

Any farmer trying to select for a plant with resistance could accidentally end up reproducing a "patented" plant.

I think there's a fundamental problem with patenting things that are self replicating. Given enough time a superior GMO plant could take over a field all by itself with no intervention... Is the land owner/farmer really to blame if this happens?

A related problem is that it's difficult/impossible to tell if you're growing a patented seed without expensive tests. As long as the plants are virtually indistinguishable patent enforcement should not be allowed.

Yes, it requires study, unless all of this is obvious to you:

"The twin cohort displayed distinctive pathway enrichment based on sleep duration differences. Habitual short sleep was associated with up-regulation of genes involved in transcription, ribosome, translation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Unexpectedly, genes down-regulated in short sleep twins were highly enriched in immuno-inflammatory pathways such as interleukin signaling and leukocyte activation, as well as developmental programs, coagulation cascade, and cell adhesion."

> We now have a very good idea what Trump will do - literally what he promised to do

But we don't. He promises things like "repeal and replace Obamacare." That's fine, except that the important question is replace it with what? If it's a substantially similar bill that still includes expensive subsidies to private health insurance companies with poverty-trap-inducing means testing, that is not going to help people.

The people who heard "repeal and replace" are presumably expecting some kind of meaningful yet unspecified improvement in their situation. In practice that means somehow causing there to be more money in the pockets of patients/working-class-taxpayers and less for medicine-adjacent companies. The current politics doesn't allow that because those corporations have too many lobbyists. You can imagine people holding out hope for some strongman to come in and lay down the law -- certainly that's what the left wanted Obama to do with single payer.

A free market alternative might be putting a stop to the games medical companies play to evergreen patents and generally thwart competition through regulatory capture. But Congressional Republicans may be too corrupt to let anything like that go through, and it would be all too easy to interpret "repeal and replace" as just cutting back the insurance subsidies (i.e. means testing them even more) so they can use the money to give investment bankers a tax cut.
I'm curious about your thoughts on a question:

Consider your ISP takes every packet that is destined for your router at your house and sorted those packets so that all the zero bits were at the beginning of the packets followed by all the one bits. They deliver this sorted data to you perfectly reliably and at great speed. You are receiving exactly the number of zeros and ones you asked for, but simply in a different order. Would you pay for this service? If not then you obviously see the value in the "arbitrary state" of data.
But what percentage of viewers do you represent?
