Eh, that might be overestimating the state of immigration in the U.S. pre-Trump. In particular people from the countries in the EO were already subject to a lot of grief, especially if they had a non-immigrant visa. I've known people who got stuck outside the country and missed a semester because they went to Canada while they had an F-1 visa.

Not that making it predictably horrible isn't, well, horrible. And the green card thing is sheer lunacy.
> At no point did the parent say that Gigster had to change right now

BinaryIdiot seems to be implying that I asked for Gigster to change right now.

And then there's this bizarre comment by him:

> > what do you actually want from this conversation with the founder?

I could similarly ask him what he wants from engaging with me.

> > Do you want him to apologize to you? Do you want them to issue a public apology

That's a telling level of projection. He's entirely unable to read English text as written.

Instead, he's like the 1950's fuddy-duddy who sees a picture of two people hugging, and immediately concludes that they're about to go fornicate as unmarried adults.

Right, it's still the vast majority, but it's not virtually certain like it was. But I was speaking in the abstract, I wasn't trying to make it seem like a bigger thing than it is.

That said, would you agree that the way this is being handled shakes confidence for visitors from other countries that haven't been banned? For green card holders who've moved their lives to the US?

I can't speak for your particular experience at school, but in general I think it's a shame that people whose lives are, as you say, "privileged" by the systems in which we live feel like they are at a disadvantage because of concerted attempts to raise others to their level.
If you dislike the CLT and whatever happens with labour laws in Brazil right now I'm completely open to hear you about a reform but don't talk out of your ass like all labour laws are problematic, they are the core foundation on removing employer abuse as almost any employer is in a much more powerful standing than any single employee.

Stop being a Brazilian advocating for liberalism because you like to use the US as a role model... I know too many of you back there and most are completely ignorant to the problems that arises from that, you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
You're not being downvoted on content, and downvotes are not disagreements. That's not a good HN comment; there's no constructive response to be made to that comment.

In particular, from the guidelines:

> Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them.

I would say that politics is the classic flamewar topic. And your comment certainly didn't add anything new or even interesting.

> Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

The comment I'm responding to is an indirect example of this.
Many nations have special visa categories for native speakers of foreign languages working as teachers. If that's really a problem then having something like that would probably make more sense.

Usually when I here someone critique the salary floor it's in reference to poorly paid scientists or biologists, as if it's a law of nature that these people should be poorly paid.
> If you want to hire, say, an interpreter of a specific foreign language to work on a community in rural Alabama temporarily, a $100,000 minimum wage would be absurd.

Wow, that's a really important point. I'm so in the tech-news bubble that I'd never heard anybody say that before - thanks for pointing that out!

>immunity from prosecution by regular authorities

This is still the case at many universities. Offenses which would be classified as criminal (i.e. public intoxication) are handled internally by the university. From one perspective, handling the mistakes of students like this is a way of protecting the university's revenue stream, as parents often withdraw their children from the university after a criminal offense.

A university campus is like a microcity with thousands of people, its own economy separate from the surrounding area, facilities, and rules. Instead of sending off reports and requests to city police (and how many students, staff, and faculty are locals, again?), they can have a single, centralised, limited office to handle public safety and policing.

Put another way, it's so everything that happens within the university doesn't eat into municipal or county time and resources, but they can still interoperate with some parity.

I've been interested in the topic of coding notes / project logs for a number of years primarily due to the positive benefit I've gained from the habit.

Quite some time ago I created Labradoc http://labradoc.com/ to help make the process easier for myself & others and make myself incredibly wealthy through SaaS. While the latter has not happened, :) the site has still been super valuable for me: http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower (I started my journey by using a single-file wiki tool: http://code.rancidbacon.com/ProjectLogArduinoUSB .)

It hasn't had any feature (or design :) ) upgrades for...about half a decade and while there are many things I've thought of adding it serves my purposes in its current state.

While the past couple of years has seen the development of "project log" sites for hackers/developers the general note-taking approach seems less common. Part of the reason being that I suspect most developers are inclined to just build their own.

Here's an example of a completed project log: http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/project-sms-text-scroll...

In addition to "project" logs I also have "topic" notes (e.g. http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/notes-web-bluetooth & http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/notes-react-native) which tend to be a collection of reference links and then chronological notes related to my work on the topic.

Here's some links to other posts about this subject & site which may be of interest:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2914071

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4213311

And other random comments on the topic I've made:

* "I've found a project log as a good way to get an idea out of my head too--or out of the tabs in my browser :) until I'm ready to get back to it."

* "I consider it a form of a "commit log for your day"..."

* "The single biggest thing that's helped me context switch between projects (or return to one) has been keeping a project log. To me, a project log is to documentation as Twitter is to blogging--it requires little effort but over time provides useful pointers to where you were at the time."

* "Yeah, it's really helped with those 'now, what was that command line I used?' and 'how did I solve that problem last time?' type questions too. And not just for yourself. It also helps other people pick up 'incomplete' projects you might have lying around that you cough haven't got around to documenting yet."
That was beautiful :)

Firefox has come a long way since the day I switched that's for sure, but it was slow back then, and that was before I even had the necessity for any extensions.

Even now, for me Chrome cold boots far faster than Firefox does - after doing a taskkill /f /im chrome.exe, chrome opens anywhere from 0.4 to 1.2 seconds after hitting "ok" on a run dialog with "chrome" entered in it, but the same thing with "firefox" in it takes from 3 to 8 seconds to open.

And that's not even a fair test either, as chrome has about 20 or so extensions installed and firefox has none.

Don't even get me started on the android variants of the two either, firefox just feels sluggish and unresponsive next to chrome.
I think this is a large part of it. I don't care so much as 5 cents about what somebody at child protective services thinks...but where I live people drive so fast it is a bit ridiculous..but also my neighborhood has roaming packs of dogs. For whatever reason my area seems to be where people go to drop off unwanted dogs; they pack up and become dangerous. I have been attacked 3 times, my wife once and I am not too keen on my children's ability to defend themselves against them. I have disposed of many of them but it seems just when it is safe again to go for a run...there are more dogs.

That sounds like a problem (if it is a problem) that should be addressed by limiting the number of student visas, not by allowing people to get a valuable US education and then telling them to go home.

I've worked with many people on H1Bs and student visas. Every single one of them was a valuable person to work with, and they should be citizens. Maybe universities are becoming green card mills, but in my experience everyone who goes to a US university gets exactly what they bargained for. The law may say otherwise, but in spirit they become Americans.

"The release went out over our autoupdate system and, over a couple of hours, millions of WordPress 4.7.x users were protected without knowing about the issue or taking any action at all"

I agree that the massive amount of (often clueless) media attention being given to this does shake confidence.

The actual action, if given "we love Obama" levels of media attention rather than "we hate Trump" levels (c.f. how little attention the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act was given), would have shaken confidence to a much lesser (but still nonzero) extent.

I think this whole thing is pretty dumb. I'm just critiquing misconceptions about how visas work.

* feedback on a pitch deck
* feedback on a blog post
* which hosting provider to use for what
* the best places to launch your product (hint - it’s everywhere!)

I'm sorry to call out this comment specifically, but almost everything you said here is not true. Out-Of-Memory crashes are not the status quo. The JVM garbage collector is (generally) a very high performance system that has improved incredibly over the past decade, it's not as simple as saying it's missing reference counting so it's "horrid".

These are the kind of lazy generalization that causes people to make poor technology decisions.
Try to do it and shoot me a github link. Trust me, I've tried, but I'm no JVM expert so there could be some magic flag I'm unaware of.

I can get it to start around 30-50mb, but as soon as you hit it with traffic the memory usage jumps up.
Well the excellence of the research institutions (as far as CS and STEM in general are concerned) is pretty heavily dependent on immigration...

On a certain level I agree with the fluidity of the labor market and companies may eventually successfully grow their companies in Europe for example as you suggest, in the face of increasing visa hurdles and anti-immmigrant rhetoric from Trump. However, it must also be noted that major barriers exist to free movement of labor, not so much in terms of legislation today but simply individual preferences.

I can think of a few reasons why the US is great on several dimensions people often compare countries they would wish to move to (vast expanse of nature, friendly culture, relatively low taxes, no language barriers aka english speaking populace). In comparison many countries in Europe would simply be a no-go for me simply from the language point of view. I would merely exist as a second class citizen unable to decipher my electricity bills or read billboards etc. To me little things like this cause a deterioration of the quality of life over a long period of time. I would never feel a sense of understanding of my environment in such a situation and to me that seems fundamental in the long run.

They way I see it, there should however be legitimate fear of losing out on human capital to other english speaking nations like Canada, Australia, UK, etc.

California publishes robocar “intervention” reports – Google/Waymo is far ahead
It's actually a not-unheard of trick. Arkham Asylum, for example, would have a failure case about halfway through the game where Batman's cape would fail to open when he jumped down into a deep (plot-required) pit if the game had been pirated. Batman would crash into the ground and die, the users would take to developer forums or the steam forums to complain that they couldn't get past this one section because of a gamebreaking bug, and then the developers would say, "Yes, that's an anti-piracy measure. If you purchase the game, it won't happen".

Another game, Game Developer Tycoon, would run as normal, but as you got further and further along, in-game pirates would pirate all the games you made and your profits would keep on dropping. People came to the developer forums to ask for ways to keep people from pirating their games, because they couldn't make any money because of all of the pirate. The irony was lost on some.
Algorithms can "curate" things nowadays, but often do so poorly. "Hand" implies a person is doing the curation and not an algorithm. I could see people preferring a person over an algorithm.

It's hard to predict what will really happen. Some businesses will hire more IT personal overseas, to amortize the costs and avoid H1B application at all. Some will start really searching for a local talent with higher price (that's what this idea is meant to do I guess). But considering that IT reports constantly shortage on candidates, a big gap indeed, regardless top notch universities, makes me think it's not about problem of lack of open positions, what this new idea aims to solve, it's about a will to do that job or not. Still, I'm talking about IT sector. In other areas of life things may be way different.
