We are mainly targeting short term jobs for exhibition, events and promotion right now. 80 % of the time, customers book young females for these jobs. So your are right, that we show "young attractive women" on a lot of landing pages, but this is more a result of our business model. The comparison to GoDaddy is not fair, since it has no relation to their business model, that they show young females.

And we make sure that our jobbers not only upload high quality pictures but also write their personal experience in a targeted and concise format. For example we now started other verticals such as temporary chefs and on these pages you see mostly middle aged men with cooking experience:

Is Russian the hardest language to read for someone that doesn't know Russian?

C type brackets and semicolons are second nature to a lot of people.

Perl has a lot of built-in stuff that makes a lot of sense when you have learned it.

Your example in Perl 5:

print qw/A B C/[-1];

I instantly know that qw has to do with a list of words, and the qw// can be replaced with qw(), qw[], qw##, etc to make the code the most readable to you.

Can be written like this if you like the commas and quotation marks:

print qw/'A', 'B', 'C'/[-1]; #Will warn
print(('A', 'B', 'C')[-1]);

'say' instead of 'print' adds a newline:

say qw/A B C/[-1];

Print the three first elements:

print qw/A B C D/[0..2];

Assign elements to variables:

my ($a, $b, $c) = qw/A B C/;

Print the number of elements and assign it to a variable at the same time:

print my $num =()= qw/A B C/;

You CAN very easily write "boring" readable Perl if you want to. But the power is there when needed. One letter variables, insane uncommented regexes, removing all whitespace etc is generally not how modern Perl programmers code.

Take a look at some code in Python that is done by someone less disciplined (or intentionally obfuscated). It is as unreadable (or worse) as the obfuscated C and Perl from the late 90s.

When I see the term 'Metadata' I think 'RDF' and 'TripleStore'. That may not be what you're looking for, but if not, it might be because it's not clear to me what you are looking for (at the 'specification' level of abstraction) because it's not really clear what "metadata" means exactly or how it will be used or why.

Anyway, if triplestore fits the bill then there are lots of options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_subject-predicate-obje... if it doesn't it's probably best to dive in and think about pinning down the use case.

Good luck.

> They instead need to go after the companies that learned to game the system.

I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent global labor arbitrage. Multinational corporations will shift labor to countries with the lowest wages.

Perhaps they should put a multiplying factor on payroll taxes that's proportional to the total non-US labor wages paid (directly or indirectly) for producing a product. All expenses should be default considered as foreign labor-based unless proven otherwise. It would introduce a ton of paperwork initially, but then everyone will be incentivized to produce documentation showing US labor-produced products to prevent the increase in taxes.

Traffic doesn't have to be a problem. My city has significant sidewalk infrastructure. Also, the right way to do this is to start off by taking long walks as a family and training kids to cross the street properly and be vigilant of their surroundings.

Ah, sorry, you're correct. I changed it to Zillow, which is still not the perfect analog, but closer than AirBnB.
Well H1-b is for temporary foreign workers, so the restrictions would be on the companies hiring foreign workers rather than the immigrants themselves. Personally I think H1-b visas for lower end workers are just an excuse for companies who want to treat their workers poorly by offering lower wages and benefits than they would get with American workers. And of course that contributes to unemployment among low income Americans who would otherwise have these jobs. By all means we can have a mechanism that is more indifferent to money when we look at other categories of immigration.
"Wage-based hiring means companies may miss out on mid-level workers they still have trouble filling with qualified Americans."

This seems a bit ridiculous. Yea, they will miss mid-level workers at the current price point but if there is a lack of supply of mid-level works the price (salary) will rise for Americans and the supply of mid-level Americans will begin to increase. A win-win for mid-level Americans... not a win-win for the Tech Companies though
> "The demand in the job market is not always captured by the highest salary,"

I don't see how we can have the combination of low salary, high demand, and a deficit of supply. It sounds like the proper economic adjustment here is to increase salary. I imagine the only reason the adjustment hasn't happened is because wages are sticky.
> It's in a corporation's best interest to give the customer exactly what he wants.

Comcast comes to mind here. Or Better Business Bureau and the sole reason for its existence.
There is no reason if one is OK with a nearly unlimited supply of cheap labor pricing out local competition and/or depressing wages.

If a hypothetical person thinks "free markets über allies" of course they're fine with unlimited visas depressing wages and increasing competition. (I don't know if that's your view, this is just a hypothetical.)

On the other hand old farts like me already have an advantage over the average HN or Reddit reader in that our education cost far less than theirs.

So the the question becomes is it fair to bring in foreign talent who (for example) may have been educated at little or no cost to compete with Americans buried under a mound of student debt?
Not one mention of dontaudit rules. The day I found out about them (years ago when I tried to use selinux in the "real world"), I said nope.
Yeah but America has a lot more established companies, universities, and infrastructure. To get the required resources for the 2.5 billion people in China and India is gonna be a while.
The problem is we shouldn't let people in just because they are rich. A bunch of money flooding in from say china could cause problems in the us just like it did in vancouver. And I also disagree with the whole idea that you should be able to buy a visa or residency just with money. We don't need more invesetments in the us by rich, overly entitled people that have no interest in their communities - we have enough disinterested rich people already. We need people working for a better life, immigrants who are trying to do something with their life.

Cyclists will often ride between rows of cars that are stopped at a traffic light in an effort to get to the front, probably assuming that the 3 feet law doesn't apply in that case.

Cyclists don't have to be toxic for the whole setup to not work, they just have to not obey the same laws that are in place for cars. Where I live, I'm more likely to be hit by a cyclist on a pedestrian crossing than by a car.

Tech salaries are high and unemployment is low. End of story. There is no problem that needs solving. So sad to see so much ignorance over immigration. Ignorance because tech immigration is not hurting the economy, and Muslim immigration isn't killing people.

> Why would that be absurd?

There's more about specialization than just the area. To stay with the example, there may be many reasons why someone would want to hire an interpreter for a given language, and for someone to be willing to do the job, without it ever making sense to pay twice what a good average living wage is on the area. The "pay higher if it's high demand" excuse is cutthroat capitalism, IMO, and ignores the fact that the employer might not actually be trying to exploit someone but actually bring something that their customer base/community needs, something they wouldn't get otherwise. It's not about being "desperate enough" to hire a foreigner - in many cases, as in certain niche skills, a foreigner might be the best option.

Also remember the H1B is supposed to be a temporary. It's classified as a non-immigrant visa. Temporary need for a foreigner also exists.

> Also: the majority (by far) of H1-B visas are for technology work. It may not technically be "tech only" but in practice it may as well be.

That's exactly my point, and it's one of the many problems with H1B. Tech workers flood the request and suddenly everyone is just thinking about a salary floor cap because tech has higher salaries than other roles. But there are other roles and businesses that could actually benefit from foreign workers, but they're all crushed by how large tech is instead.
I was going to reply and mention that protecting the revenue stream is a cynical outlook, given that campus PD can also protect students from graduating college and having a "criminal record" for public intoxication or other petty charges.

But then I recalled an article earlier this year about how "campus PD" have been intervening in sexual assault cases and trying to get them handled by the university instead of the justice system, where there's public record and of course publicity.

Historically America absolutely needed immigration.

Early America lacked a lot of skilled laborers. England was opposed to allowing skilled workers to emigrate to the US for fear of the US competing with England. The preferred the US to provide them with cheap agricultural goods in exchange for high-priced steel, tools, and weapons.

It wasn't until the mid 1800s that the US began work on the first steel mill because they couldn't get the expertise necessary to build one. At the time, Britain produced about half of all steel consumed in the world, once the US finally imported the skills necessary to produce steel, Britain's share of the global plunged by half.

I'm certain this story can be repeated for many more industries throughout history, from chemistry, rockets, medicine, and technology. So yes, America has always needed immigrants.
Could someone tell me more about the American Enterprise Institute? They critique "Trump's executive-orders" situation, which a lot of organizations could do but they ended up in the Economist. They basically enter the picture like "we're an authority and we're saying stuff is bad, like we have an actual code for how bad it almost is".

They're a conservative think-tank, they seem to have intelligence/military ties, seem to be pro-intervention (foreign war), were against emission trading (but pro CO2 tax) and have received large donations at one point from ExxonMobil. It's still a bit of a murky picture to me. The name sets off alarm bells for me.

On the article: I noticed the phrase "students of the constitution"; it's an odd combination that elicits (for me) student protests and conservative ideology.

I'm not surprised by the current Trump situation. I've been following the shift to authoritarianism in the US and UK for a while, and this seems like the logical next step.

I haven't considered the US as a travel destination in a while, the same goes for the UK. These countries aren't stable, they're very unfree relative to where I live (NL), and I just won't stand for the level of humiliation their checks at airports have arrived at. They also seem like dangerous places to go, as they're close to no-law zones where the TSA has free reign.

It's bad enough that our largest airport has scanners that make 3D images of your naked body, but to top it up you often get a full pat-down, especially if you wear clothes with pieces of metal in it (like of jeans).

I'd much rather go spend my time and money in countries that don't require my genitals to be patted down by strangers.

It's a wrong assumption that diversity of demographics is the same as diversity of thought. It's also wrong to assume that a lack of diversity in demographics automatically equates to a lack of diversity in thought.

A competitive advantage would be gained through diversity of thought. Making gender, skin color or any other superficial characteristic into a numbers game in order to look diverse is in no way a competitive advantage.

This is the lamest argument that people use. This is a non-argument and I have no idea why it gets upvoted. You don't understand the economics of the situation.

For one thing America isn't the only nation they can go to, go steal wealth from Canada.

Second, for a very long time immigrants did help build America, but they were literally poor and willing to work mundane jobs for no minimum wage, and they came over here without being guaranteed a job.

America was in a state of high economic entropy when it was first founded and we've now reached a state of low economic entropy. Letting everyone in the breadbasket live in poverty so that a few thousand people can go be corporate elitists is what is really selfish.

Hey there,
after launching Cluvio a bit more than three months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12684089) we have some exciting news to share today.
We just launched a set of new pricing plans that make Cluvio accessible to everyone (and their moms).

Cluvio is a cloud analytics platform that allows you to run SQL queries against your database, visualize the results as beautiful dashboards and share these dashboards within your company.

As of today, Cluvio pricing starts with a completely free plan, Cluvio Free!
That's right, completely FREE and you can use it to securely analyze your business data and create interactive dashboards within minutes.

The next step up is a Cluvio Starter plan, also brand new, which targets single analysts that want to have a powerful tool to analyze and visualize data, but do not need to share the results with others. The Starter plan has unlimited query executions and allows to use SQL Alerts and create more dashboards.

Cluvio Pro, already existing, and a new Cluvio Business plan together target the teams that create analytics to share, with internal users or externally.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or feedback, will be happy to answer!
