This is interesting, in my almost 20 year career, I took the opposite approach: started out as a web dev. ("coder"), then moved to marketing...Actually it was as follows: web dev. > tech lead > project mgr > product mgr.

It is weird for me though; whenever I am in interviews, and the interviewer finds out my past, their eyes light up (because I can straddle both the tech and non-tech/business/marketing sides), and always get excited about my skillset...However, on paper, people eyes don't light up...Its like recruiters and the HR filters want specialists (pigeon-holed into the exact job duties without any deviation what so ever) at least per so many job descriptions that I have seen...But then when you are in an interview with the hiring manager, what they actually, really want are generalists who can have at least one specialty in whatever specific role they need. I'v gone on enough interviews in my time, and while maybe not 100%, this scenario plays out well over 90% of the time. Maybe its my resume, but it seems so odd; there are roles out there not being filled, but plenty of people who can likely satisfy them...Again, it could be my resume, but it seems the candidates know what they want or what they can do, and the hiring manager knows what they need...but the folks in the middle just can't get the relevant parties to meet each other...I wonder if the initial vetting process for hiring is broken nowadays...?
It's accurate, but probably not good. Most of the articles on HN that talk about a shut down are about the company going under. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

Regardless of it's right or wrong to assume the content of a post based on its title, a much better title would make it clear the game is shutting down and not the company.

I never visited U.S and heard about H1-B and its abuse by Indian Body-shops. Let me know if below understanding is correct or not:

1) So far, Indian Body-shops paid low salary compared to original one. (for example, say instead of 80K/yr ,Indian Body-shops paid 40K/yr and kept the remaining for themselves)

2) Now with new bill, increased base amount to 130K/yr and also ensures this goes the employee?

Is that correct?

I would say that while the statement is false, context is required.

America has historically given priority to immigrants that are victim to religion-based persecution. We are, after all, a nation founded by settlers seeking freedom from religious prosecution from a country in which they were the minority.
I think "just a template library" would re-render the complete DOM for every update, or require you to manually wire up all components. The "shadow DOM" at the root of React is quite central to its appeal, as it speeds up DOM changes by several orders of magnitude.
She had two legitimate options: execute the President's instructions if she thought they are legal and moral, or resign if she thought they are illegal or immoral. She doesn't have the option to refuse to do her job.

N.b.: I did not vote for Trump; I am not certain that everything in his immigration-related executive order is consistent with the law (but I am not certain that it's not, either: I am not a lawyer).

In this case, for example, the underlying issue (as usual) isn't "C language BAD!" it's that the function call isn't thread-safe. Which can happen in any language, including Rust.
We run Security First as a non-profit.(https://www.secfirst.org). I also helped setup an UK charity called Videre (https://www.videreonline.org). It really depends on what you are doing. We build technology and training to help activists, journalists and people in high risk areas manage their security - through our free, open source mobile app, Umbrella. So we found and apply to funders who provide grants to help us build this. Public donations are actually quite a hard business model for non-profits as it really requires a huge amount of public visibility and work to keep them coming in. I recommend looking for grants first of all. I know the space pretty well so feel free to drop me a mail to the email in my profile and I'm happy to share some thoughts!

Shouldn't be an obstacle. This is already exactly how normal, hailable, regulated taxis work (at least in much of the USA, and certainly in NYC -- I can't speak for elsewhere). That's why taxi driver is (at least in the US) a statistically more dangerous occupation than police officer.

From the point of view of a driver, this scheme is less dangerous than the status quo, at least there is potentially a little more paper trail to prove a rider rode.

From the point of view of a rider, there is the advantage in regulated taxis that the driver is licensed and identified, but in countries where it's feasible, I don't see why LibreTaxi couldn't have an option to "request licensed driver only" or something
So, a busy robot coffee shop still has 1 (or as many as needed) staff on to handle those situations as their full-time job instead of handling the coffee and the patrons. The point here is the highly repetitive part of making the coffee is automated. You lower the number of bodies needed.
One could argue that H-1B is a visa that never was intended to apply for fresh graduates - it's a vehicle for "importing" specialists that USA doesn't have, bringing in unusual expertise that USA can't build locally. Yes, "People from outside who have lots of experience (and skill) and can command a much higher salary upfront" is the exclusive target audience for the intended goals of why the H-1B visa is implemented, and if it's dominated by other people then it's not working as intended.

Likely there should be some path for immigrant students to stay, but H-1B shouldn't be that path.

STEM education (and cyber security) from primary through higher education. I support this at face value. I'm wary of Trumps motivations, but this seems to be a bright spot.
Started a company in a college town on the east coast with far lower cost of living than the valley. The existing financial H1B requirements and recently the promises of the new administration made it financially unfeasible to even be able to consider hiring the international students working with us after they graduated. Really unfortunate because they were extremely talented employees and not easily replaced here.
I have found a few decent low budget horror movies and comedies through lists. But it's work to find lists, gauge quality through reviews, and then watch 10 trailers to decide if any of them are worth a shot.
I would agree with this. These new changes are clearly attempting to address the rampant abuse of the system by the likes of TCS and Infosys and in the process they are affecting other legitimate h1b candidates.

A potential solution can be something like a different type of work permits or different requirements for h1b applicants applying after they studied here, something along those lines.

Surely server-side: Node > 6 supports ES6 without transpilers. Since Node doesn't have to be browser-compatible, there is no reason to use older versions.

On the client side, I recently wrote a CMS for a big company based on CSS flexboxes (which are not polyfillable).
I also wrote a number of browser projects using ES6 / ES7 features, but normally you demand transpiling and polyfilling to Babel, so you never know.

You build up a the environment in a local variable, fork(), then have the child alter its environment based on the said local variable before it goes on to do useful stuff.

If you're just executing another program, do the same, but call execle() which takes the environment as an argument.

> Obama used Executive Orders because in part he had a Congress that, courtesy of Mitch McConnell, stated openly that they had no intention of passing Bills on the President's behalf, even if good.

So? Mr. Obama's executive orders were in many cases inconsistent with the law and the Constitution. 'They won't be nice to me!' is insufficient reason for any president to violate his oath of office, whether Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama or anyone else.

I have Endomondo and LifeFitness on, but neither seems to track these. Maybe they just bypasses.

In the Fitbit Android app, Google Fit is authorised, although doesn't appear under the compatible apps. That's why I had the suspicion Google Fit might download the data off through Fitbit's REST API.

Weirdly, activities without GPS are not in Google Fit.

Note: personally I don't understand the strong bias in the fitness platforms toward stepcounts and running, especially outdoors. No push-sit-pull ups, kettlebell, indoor rowing and cycling, weight training with reps counts… these can be easily tracked and recognised (or could be collaboratively trained by the end-user) with precise gyroscopes and accelerometers.

Ask HN: Good Career Alternatives for 50+
I'm in my 30's doing marketing and am starting to feel like the old man of the teams I work with. I look around and there is hardly anyone over 40 and no-one 50+ unless they hit executive level. The industry is about new technology and working long hours. While there are exceptions, generally it doesn't seem a good career to age in and I figure I have ~10 years...

..so as someone that likes to plan ahead. What do you think are good career options for the 50+? I've been trying to think of jobs were age is an advantage. The best I can think of is financial planning. Most people visit their planner when retirement is on their mind, so you'll likely be meeting people of a similar group and mindset. Whereas in this industry being 21 and enthusiastic wont go far with many older people.

What does HN think are good options?

> I am mad that an app on my phone is now sending me emails about what I think is a fake outrage and jumping on a bandwagon.

I assure you a lot of the outrage is real, but yeah. Lyft was and is just as bad as Uber.

It's so silly that we talk about banning "politics" or that such and such is "too political" because we're at a point where there is no escape from radical restructuring. People are reacting to the new impositions and regulations the government is throwing at them.

Companies are too. Some are doing it for better reasons than others. But everyone wins and losses in politics, so the implication that "they are doing this because it is beneficial to them" rings pretty hollow to me.

If this were just anger over the silliness of promoting Thiel-backex Lyft as a counterpoint to Trumpism I'd agree. But it's not. You're mad that these companies share their policies and goals.

I don't understand that at all. You've spent more time dwelling on the imposition than it takes to delete and ignore the email.

Trump's immigration ban: Will it undercut American soft power?
I've got a good feeling about this suit. The Supreme Court precedent on this is quite clear: permanent residents have a right to due process before they are excluded from entering the United States:

> This Court has long held that an alien seeking initial admission to the United States requests a privilege and has no constitutional rights regarding his application, for the power to admit or exclude aliens is a sovereign prerogative. As we explained in Johnson v. Eisentrager, 339 U. S. 763, 770 (1950), however, once an alien gains admission to our country and begins to develop the ties that go with permanent residence, his constitutional status changes accordingly. Our cases have frequently suggested that a continuously present resident alien is entitled to a fair hearing when threatened with deportation, and, although we have only rarely held that the procedures provided by the executive were inadequate, we developed the rule that a continuously present permanent resident alien has a right to due process in such a situation.

Landon v. Plasencia, 459 U.S. 21, 33 (1982) (citations omitted).

That applies even after leaving and returning to the country:

> Any doubts that Chew recognized constitutional rights in the resident alien returning from a brief trip abroad were dispelled by Rosenberg v. Fleuti, where we described Chew as holding "that the returning resident alien is entitled as a matter of due process to a hearing on the charges underlying any attempt to exclude him." 374 U.S., at 460.

The wrongfulness of excluding permanent residents at the border without individualized process is so plain that the White House ultimately backed away from that interpretation of the order last night. But in the meantime, CBP violated the Constitutional rights of a number of green card holders.

Also, the facts are bad for the government: https://www.crowdjustice.org/case/dullesdetainees ("We filed originally on the evening of January 28th, asking Judge Brinkema to issue a Temporary Restraining Order to stop deportations from Dulles and to ensure those detained were provided lawyers. That order was granted almost immediately, but Customs and Border Protection officers at Dulles refused to comply.").

It is very possible that even individual CBP officers will be held liable for those violations. Ordinarily, officers are protected by qualified immunity for actions taken under the color of law. But qualified immunity does not apply where the right was not "clearly established." Usually, that is a big hurdle in these sorts of lawsuits, but here there is squarely-applicable Supreme Court precedent.

For instance, in New York at least, if you are suspected of DUI and refuse to submit to a breathalyzer test, it is an automatic civil suspension of of you drivers license for I believe two years. If you have prior convictions then and are looking at jail time and a license suspension, the smart play is to refuse to take the test.
Per your linked article: "Thanks to a decades-old Supreme Court case, e-retailers operating outside of a state’s borders cannot be compelled to collect the sales taxes owed by their customers. For years, Amazon.com took advantage of this provision." Amazon was specifically not cheating; they were following the law. The same law as other e-retailers and catalog retailers before them followed.
it's really popular in some European countries. For passengers it's an alternative to trains or bus coaches. It's used for intercity travel, not a taxi replacement. Also it's ride sharing, drivers are not professionals and are not allowed to profit from it. Drivers are only allowed to recoup fuel and toll costs on journey they intended to make anyway.
Sounds great but the advantage the main guys have is the network effect, a large fleet. The fact that this is free suggests no marketing budget and therefore less drivers and passengers, both which depend on each other to grow.
I don't see how a spam bot would actually improve communications in the long term. If the individual tweets value diminishes after adoption of such tools, the only long term effect will be that tweets just will be perceived to be less useful input.
