This is true but it needs perspective, and I am by no means anti-immigrant. I'm actually a pretty open border person, and am 100% against Trump's proposals (though perhaps there are some instances of H1B being abuse [see Disney].) However, this study should have a big caveat, for starters there are significantly more tax benefits for starting a business if you are an immigrant. Secondly, immigrants don't have entrenched interests or preoccupations that would otherwise give them a very high opportunity cost to starting their own business. So the start-up industry is a bit skewed in favor of immigrants naturally.

I would love for us to equal the playing field, not by blocking immigrants, but by leveling the field on tax benefits and subsidies (ideally getting rid of subsidies and flattening the structure) and have reforms that lower the opportunity cost of all Americans that allows them to start their own business. There are way more reforms needed too outside of that, which everyone already has to deal with in regards to starting a business.

So, imo, the complaint or point here shouldn't be that immigrants are better, or Americans are worse or there's only so much of the pie etc...it should be that we need reforms that makes it easier for everyone to start a business.
For a three letter agency or a state sponsored entity, the way to exploit a Linux notebook would be to exploit Unix and C and various utilities at the source code level starting in the 1970's. To have not done so would have been professionally incompetent. To not continue to do so today would also be.

Even if one does not believe that Bell Labs and MIT are part and parcel of the military industrial complex, Naval Research Labs from whence came Tor and DARPA from whence came the internet are undeniably so. If you're not a baby boomer or possibly early GenX, odds are your computer was basically PWND before you were born. Consider that the ARPA net lacked most all the security features considered essential on modern networks but the motivations to snoop computers were very similar to those today.

That does not mean that security won't reduce ordinary exploits, but agencies like the NSA and KGB have office buildings full of Moxie Marlinspike's working 9-5 year in and year out to obtain signals intelligence. They work in a context where there are billions of dollars to fund research and nearly a century of institutional knowledge backed by patriotic zeal.

> However it doesn't support being the CMD in a Dockerfile. Which is why it's not very common in software deployment scenarios in the post-container world.

Er, that's only half-true. systemd isn't great for running as PID 1 inside a Dockerfile, but that's because Docker already monitors PID 1[0], and systemd can be used to monitor your container itself.

In other words, think of containers as individual applications that you want to monitor, and systemd can be used either to monitor them or even to run the containers directly. (Yes, systemd can even run Docker containers directly, without Docker![1])

> if they feel threatened by Ryzen they can just lower the price of their chips to Ryzen prices because they have a manufacturing advantage.

If it would've been so easy, they would've done it with Atom in the mobile market. But it wasn't. Intel was losing $1 billion a quarter in mobile just to be competitive on price.

Intel absolutely lacks the cost structure to compete with Qualcomm's ARM chips, and that has already been proven. It's not a theory.

As for Ryzen, they can lower prices, but not by as much as you may think. Lowering prices is directly proportional with how many people Intel will have to fire to accommodate for a slightly lower cost structure that's more competitive with AMD.

For every 10% average reduction in price, Intel may have to fire at least a few thousand employees (across divisions, but more likely by gutting some non-profitable research projects, in the beginning).

However, those layoffs will also look bad on Intel's public image, so don't expect Intel to lower prices strategically across product lines to compete against AMD without serious consideration. But I really don't expect them to lower their average price point by more than 10% for the next few years, until Intel comes out with a more "streamlined" (fewer features) microarchitecture, that's more cost-effective to build.
It seems to make that cuts the other way. What is the cost of integrating and potentially supporting a million immigrants compared to the return from one billion dollar startup? (Especially when we're talking a billion dollars of Monopoly money valuation versus day a billion in revenue.)
While I agree Twitter's employee base is excessively bloated, comparing the two platforms is not really fair.

Ask HN: How to handle jealousy and tensions at work place?
I joined team 6-7 months back and one of colleague attitude was very bad from starting. We work in open cabin with all teams and I have two fights with one of my colleague. It is affecting my reputation and image in company. Most of my managers are around when these fights(orally not discussion) happen. She(have more experience) is jealous of me and do not agree with technical points.

She pointed some things in my work four days back and on profiling I showed her she was wrong. She do not take things constructively and keep on fighting on the results also. She took that thing on ego.

Today she made changes in framework which I have written. She asked for help from me and I corrected her code with some other changes. She keep on arguing why you removed other code. I told her from design perspective it is not responsibility of this framework and we should not put code in this framework. But she keep on arguing and do not listen to me. At end my manager listened to boths points (which is not very technical) also sided with me. But because of ego she keeps on arguing and pushed her code to repo.

I tried to discuss constructively and productively in starting but she takes things on ego and do not listen to my points. As technically she was wrong, but these fights is affecting my reputation and image in company. Also it is very immature to fight on these things. I do not take care about code etc but these fights shows immaturity.

What should I do and how to handle things in future. She do not have very technical knowledge despite her experience and do not listen and made points constructively and also tries to dominate in discussion.
Dr. Mercola being an absolute nut aside, what does "organic" have to do with the composition of the produce itself? I can perhaps understand wanting to avoid antibiotics in meat and animal products, but all organic fruit/vegetable production does is prohibit certain types of fertilizers and pesticides (while allowing others), which don't impact the composition of the final product anyway. It has an impact on the environment, land use, and the cost of food production, but the food is chemically the same. So how would it have any health benefit or produce a "purer" product?
>Just imagine a gardening and cooking class where you could teach:

1. Plant biology and genetics of seeds 2. Chemistry and Soil Biology, Composting, Decomposition. 3. Use geometry to design raised bed frames 4. Learn some vocational carpentry to build raised bed frames 5. Plant in different environments, track growth, production, measures in a scientific experiment 6. Learn to cook some different recipes with what you've grown as well as how different temperatures affect what you're cooking (caramelization of onions, etc)

One of my kids attends just such a class in high school half of each day. What you have described is pretty much exactly what they do. They have a carpentry shop, a huge garden, a kitchen, a science lab, etc. It sounds great, but the teachers suck. All the students hate it and are encouraging other students not to sign up for it next year.

They would technically be considered "people" of the same race, but also Scotland hasn't been Celtic for a long time!

The original inhabitants of Great Britain were Brythonic + Pictish (of the Celts), but in Scotland they were squeezed out by the Gaelic (also of the Celts) tribes (including the Scotti) crossing the Irish Sea into the west, the Norse crossing the North Sea and expanding into the isles from the north, and a rotating cast of invaders from the south: Romans, Danes (the Angles of Jutland and the Saxons), Normans (the Norse by way of Brittany in France), and English (a strange hodge-podge of remnants of various invaders).
So far it's worked out, I think.

I'm not talking about a billion dollar startup, but trillion-dollar technology. Think Manhattan project, not WhatsApp.
The F-1 visa is for education, but is often a step towards an H1-B, since it gives you enough time to work in the U.S. to get an internship/first job.
I'm 30 and I luckily still haven't collected inheritance. If and when I do, it will come too late in life to make much difference. The head start I was given was down to the way I was raised by my parents, including the things they paid for. So unless you're suggesting making it illegal to buy your children clothes, food, education, etc, (an extreme form of communism?) I'm not sure inheritance has much bearing on social inequality. Only the very wealthy have so much inheritance that it impacts the way they conduct their life from birth.
That's not the enforcement cost, that's the potential revenue gain from increased enforcement.

...And more enforcement to increase revenue... costs... money.

Which was my entire point. The government requires cooperation in your taxes, and already loses hundreds of billions to those who don't.
What alternative explanation would their be?
I've always thought that if I homeschooled I would take a "one course at a time" approach.

I think you're mistakenly assuming the point of public school is to educate. I think it exists more so the proles have somewhere to dump their kids when they're working. The "education" happens to be incidental.

But yeah, there's an issue with the way we treat bachelor's degrees. I haven't found (in my admittedly limited experience) that it effectively signals anything these days, other than that you probably grew up at least "middle-class."
We usually do collections. Especially the implementation of the OrderedDict. It's a nice combination of compromises, careful coding and usefulness.

I used to do requests but like I said, moved away. I sometimes do pygments to discuss how different lexers etc. are "plugged" in and also to show how messy the command line parsing code there is.

> the only "problem" I see here is that you believe your opinion on her compensation and performance should matter

Given that point of view, none of our opinions here matter, so why did you even bother commenting at all?

I don't think I have some right to change her compensation, but medium/long term I worry about a real breakdown in society when there are such gross displays of outsized rewards for failure.
The only way to do this is to have a 100% death tax and to have an open bidding system for all assets. Otherwise you'll see deathbed $1 transfers of wealth. The open bidding system for any transfer at any point in life.

The problem with this whole concept is the number of people who received some kind of wealth transfer from their parents. Pretty much everyone I know has received financial assistance from their parents and are terrified of the idea of not having that leg up. Even amounts as small as $5,000 is far more than most people get. A lot of people don't realize how much their parents gave them.
Um, not much? Immigrants as a whole pay their way in the United States, have lower crime rates.

The revenue generated by Google, Chobani, and other companies is not "Mickey mouse" money. Not to mention that Microsoft and Google both picked immigrants to be their leaders.
This sense of entitlement due to physical proximity of birthplace is completely arbitrary, ridiculous, and counterproductive.

Discriminating on nationality (which most had zero choice in, and was decided for them at birth) is the same as discriminating based on skin color or biological sex. It's just standard anticompetitive in-group/out-group fear-driven nonsense.
I took two years off between high school and college (I ended up with 2 Bachelors and a Masters), but I don't think that has helped me in the least in terms of employability.
Both of my grandfathers went to school through 8th grade. Both were quite successful and able to raise large families and retire well. At some point, we need to stop believing that more schooling is the only way for people to find their way in the world.
Hey - if I'm wrong then I'd love to be corrected as I'm currently labouring under the impression that Catalonia is legally a region of Spain and has been part of Spain since around 1469 which was when the concept of what we now know as Spain started.

Not at all wanting a flame-war etc but if I'm wrong then I'd really like to know! :)
A bunch of folks on this forum love to bash the H1B visa. But that visa is not so new - this is how America has always filled her need for labor. Please take a few moments to read about "indentured servants" - immigrants from Britain and other parts of Europe who came to the US in 1800s. They were required to serve 5 to 7 years working in fields. After that they were given land and free to work for themselves. The H1B visa has similarities. Guess what is the duration of stay for a H1B visa? 6 years. During this time they are pretty much tied to the company that sponsored their visa. After that they are given the green card, which lets them work for any company.

Apart from the idea of sorting people into useful and useless being inhumane, it also seems to be counterproductive.

Universities do it.
You have to assume that such a truck is constantly "phoning home" and hopefully has some kind of asset tasked to watch it constantly. Maybe the process to get in involves authorization from "home base" in the form of that private key?

I actually don't have much of a problem if super successful CEOs are paid richly. But where is the risk/reward tradeoff? Why are they still paid so richly when they fail?
I think the answer lies somewhere in having 2-3 years of mandatory civil service for high-school grads which rotates them in various industries: Construction, IT, Mechanical works, Tool & Die, Hospital volunteering, Office clerks, building maintenance, etc.

In addition, high school should have 'guest' speaker from different lines of work come in (engineer, scientist, mechanic, doctor, HVAC, florist, baker, etc.) and tell grade 12 students about their job responsibilities, how much money they make and advise students frankly about the job.

Only then the kids can decide with full knowledge what they would like to pursue and their expectations would be realistic.
Good analogy. I think more generally managers could be considered a "buff" class. Since I've played LOTRO I can say the Captain sort of plays this role. There are probably WoW and ESO equivalents, but I haven't played those. But this leads to an interesting exercise. What are the corporate equivalents of other RPG roles? I have my own ideas, but let's see what others come up with.

So much this. I've considered getting a degree countless times over the years, but have been prevented by the fact that my 2 decades+ professional experience in the field counts for nothing in terms of meeting educational requirements. And the more experience I get, the more painful that fact gets...
I haven't had time to look at the code yet. I have some questions though.

As an experiment a while back I wrote a simple dns server that blocked ad-related domains. https://github.com/geuis/lead-dns. While it technically worked, it made using the web almost non functional. Nearly every site was broken in some way. So blocking purely by domain isn't going to work. I wonder how pi-hole is dealing with it.

For the second time in more than a decade I've been considering cancelling my Netflix account. There are two main reasons I haven't:

1. It is basically background-billing at this point. Like Netflix is something you have in your monthly bills like your power bill. It is just a part of life.

2. Their independent shows are a lot more crucial for keeping people like me around. I'm to the point where I almost want to put it on hold or just cancel it until the next favorite season of X comes out. In my case, Stranger Things this October.

However, like I mentioned, I've thought about cancelling and I doubt I'm the only one, so the article's quotes from Count Morningstar Research make sense to me.
OK! I understand your point.
I assume what they really mean by Immigrants Founded 51% of U.S. Billion-Dollar Startups is that 51% of $1B+ U.S. startups have at least one immigrant founder, right? (as opposed to 51% of unicorn founders are immigrants)

I live in the Milwaukee suburbs, and I think it's a great deal.

Cost for 4 bed/2 bath house? $112k (~5 years ago).
I hear this brought up a lot but do not see how it would be an issue. This is part of the job of an intelligence agency.

Something often ignored: The intelligence agencies of other countries are likely to be doing the same thing. It has already been shown that BND and GCHQ engage in similar behavior with regards to upstream and satellite signals interception, but it seems foolish to assume that other countries are not engaging in this type of intelligence collection.
Painting my room with WebVR
It isn't 'racism' technically, you're right. Perhaps more like a mild form of bigotry. You might strongly disagree, but the SNP routinely phrases independence like this:

Scotland will be "fairer" if it is independent i.e. the English who keep outvoting us are nasty and "unfair" by nature.

There are lots of quotes from people like Salmond and Sturgeon along those lines. What they mean is "we disagree with the dominant political viewpoint in England" but what they say is that the English are morally defective and the Scots, morally superior. That's merely irritating when it's a left wing/right wing party political campaign, as people can change their political party quite easily. When it's phrased in terms of ethnic origin, that crosses the line.
Who exactly is not an immigrant in the states? If one traverse lineage of any of these so called "non-immigrants", within 3-4 generations one will see they were an immigrant too.
