Yes, this is strong evidence that having the President's ear counts for nothing. They are attending these meetings at a high cost to their reputation and getting nothing in return.
80% of the value of stocks are held by the top 10%. The fact that 401ks which were initially retirement plans for executives have permeated labor is an indictment of the system. Capital owners have removed defined benefit plans forcing labor to jump into the same boat. But make no mistake about who really benefits from that convergence and who forced it in the first place.

When I think about entrepreneur visas, I think about people needing a ton of money (several hundred thousand USD, EUROs, GBPs, etc.) to come in and attempt to start a business. In a lot of ways it's simply buying your way into a country as a resident.

I didn't think about the aspect of people seeing VC funding; not self funded people.

Also, when I first read this article, I wondered what industry stood to gain from this move. Presidents are members of the 1% and their policies are dictated by the top income earners, not the opinions of most voters[0]. Although companies might publicly be against this, they must be secretly benefiting. Maybe big tech players don't want disruptive startups coming in and taking their markets?

A LOT happened in the ~2011 -> ~2013 timeframe, including the largest consolidation in hard drive manufacturing history (outside of maybe ~1992).

Toshiba acquired Fujitsu's HDD business in 2010.

Seagate acquired Samsung's HDD business in 2011 (remember they acquired Maxtor in 2006 as well).

Western Digital acquired the HGST group in 2012 (makers of the best damned 2TiB drive I've ever seen in my life)

You're left with 3 hard drive manufacturers, of which two are major SSD vendors for enterprise. This reduction to 3 vendors has a lot more to do with pricing than almost anything related to consumers's HDD purchases (who's growth since 2010 is something like 8%, it'd be better to invest in S&P 500 then run an entire consumer hard drive business)

From the perspective of basecamp/37 signals, they've made it a point to do things which most people say "wouldn't work". And they do it and prove that it is possible.

A lot of objections one might have to their choices are usually deeply rooted in other organizational dysfunctionalities. Other companies for example may choose to hire weaker employees due to the urgency to get people sooner. Sooner is more important than correct and then you have employees you can't trust to be autonomous. Or you put people in managerial positions whose purpose is to delegate, or approve tasks as part of their monitoring duties. This goes against autonomy entirely. Basecamp for example doesn't have any real managers.

While you are right that this won't work for many larger established companies, from the perspective of people starting out (and there are a lot of them), these posts serve a purpose of raising a middle finger to the established norms of running a business. There's a purpose built around tearing down bad decisions that lead to other bad decisions that eventually lead to ineffective teams.

And that's the idea behind this post.... Probably :)
I think it's a "perfect storm" of all of the above. All around the same time, there were the floods, consolidation in the market reducing competition, and the large consumer shift to SSDs (and probably consumers "topping out" and deciding 4 TB drives are enough).

IMO the last effect is the largest. In any technology, the continuous cost decreases we're used to rely critically on a constant stream of consumer dollars, especially as the low-hanging fruit is plucked and you have to work harder to get further improvements. HDD companies know the writing is on the wall and that huge investments in R&D are going to take longer to pay back as the consumer market dries up.
But it works at-scale, which is where the focus is. Bang-for-the-taxpayer-buck.

Further, socially-speaking, being with your actual peers is extremely valuable, obviously.

But yes, the ideal would be a tailored-to-each-child education. Personally, having seen the power of a good Montessori education, I think it's frickin' genius and should be the template for all education (specifically the grouping of 3 yrs together -- e.g. 3,4,5-year-olds together), so kids are perpetually working through the cycle of "look up to someone, mimic someone, mentor someone".

... but I digress.

Fact is, grouping by age works socially and it's much, much cheaper than a tailored education, which is all we an afford (get taxpayers to pay for).

At some point, I expect a software company to make headway in this space and you'd see a bunch of kids staring at iPads all day and a bored teacher playing Minecraft at the front of the room, only engaging when someone gets stuck.

I know this probably isn't the route you can go down, but I'll share my story since it's one more data point.

The company I'm working for is fairly distributed across the globe, and a lot of the computer engineers are part time remote (three days at home, two days at office, say). But typically no one is fully remote at this company. I came to work on site at a city where they had an office and a few employees but it was a satellite office and I worked there for a year or so. Then the boss that was managing that office left the company and they decided to let the remaining workers from that city go full remote (it was just two of us and they didn't want to continue paying for an office for just two of us). Since I was going to be full time remote anyways I kept working for them but I can live whereever I want so I just relocated back to my hometown.

I did have to push at one or two points to ensure I ended up full time remote, but mostly it was luck, in other words. This company knows I'm a good worker and responsible from my year working on site so that may be why I can get away with the full time remote whereas for new people joining a company I can see how it would be a hard sell.
That's a pretty weird assumption. There's not any direct relationship between the number of software engineering jobs and the number of (e.g.) housing construction jobs.
I think bromium does something quite similar to qubes-os , and the enterprize pricing is maybe around $150-$200/yer/user .

Trump inherited his money and if he'd never started a business but invested it conservatively in index funds instead he'd have significantly more money than he does now.
Educate us, which "others" exist? Also H1-B is a non-immigrant visa. You can petition for a green card after a few years, but there's no guarantee you'll get it.

I agree with the op, btw. To make things better for local workers, h1b workers should be offered greater mobility so as to create competition which properly values their skills. Earlier suggestion by the Trump administration that instead of a lottery only the highest paid h1b workers will be admitted sounds quite sane, too.

I'm in a similar position.

Started on site, early on asked for remote which wasn't possible at the time, circumstances changed and I asked again. It felt like forever it was in the hands of higher-ups but after two years fro my my start date with the company I went on a 3 month remote trial.

Trial went well and I'm now permanently remote.

Ask, provide reasons why you should be permitted to work remotely & if denied ask why so that you can change and try again.

Wow! I hadn't heard about the MEGA65 project. It would be amazing if they could complete it.
no worries :) I'm kind of interested, because lack of trust in microphones/cameras specifically on laptops is a theme I've seen commonly expressed by people in general IT and IT security.

My thinking on the subject was roughly that for an attacker to have the ability to spy on me via that mechanism would strongly imply that they already have privileged access to my computer (to be able to active the device and exfiltrate the data).

At that point, personally, I'm far more worried about the data they'd get from my keyboard (specifically credentials for various systems) than I am about them being able to see me sit at a desk.

I think math education needs to be reworked from top to bottom to focus more on building blocks. E.g. I'm not sure there's enough focus on what multiplication is before you're expected to memorize the times tables.

Think of stuff like the quadratic equation, or formula for the surface area of a cone. How many of us were just taught these magic formulae without first deriving them? Why do we start talking about pi without first explaining how it's calculated? Where does the "four-thirds" part come from in calculating the volume of a sphere?

Not to mention that there's never enough history to go along with the mechanics - who discovered the quadratic formula? What was their life like? Why were they playing with quadratic equations in the first place? This make math seem less like magic incantations and more like something that was sort of cobbled together by flawed weirdos in order to solve real-life problems, and evolved over time.
You are kidding right?

When the "entrepreneurs" very status in the US is dependent on being in the good-graces of anyone else - especially vultures like VC firms - these "entrepreneurs" are no better than indentured servants.

Think of it this way - any dispute with the "sponsoring" VC firm could snowball into a complaint to DHS which could result in the "entrepreneur" having to leave the country (and leave behind the carcass of a company the VC's will then proceed to digest).

Entrepreneurs might not understand or appreciate this yet, but they are better off going to Canada or somewhere else as landed immigrants with rights - instead of living in the US as indentured servants of some entity.

The junking of this rule has potentially saved so many startups from being absorbed by entrenched players (Hello Google Ventures). The resultant dispersion of wealth/ideas and the increase in competition will benefit all of us.
It is a standard for crypto created by non-crypto people. It is bad, don't use it. Using it correctly is harder than rolling your own stupid simple bearer token, which is very rare for standards. Using stateful authentication is even simpler. Using django or something like that is even simpler.
There's a nuance here too.

in programming, y = f(x) = x^2 is one way; 'y' is a label for a function of one variable.

But in math there is no fixed typing, or distinctions. The symbolic equation represents a relationship.

Hence:

y(x) = x^2 <=> x(y) = (+/-) sqrt(y)

the domain and domain can be switched and the entire equation rearrange so that a 'variable' becomes a 'function'.
I would say that the approach for Asiana 214 looked bad from the moment it started, as the pilot felt uncomfortable performing a visual approach. Something has gone terribly wrong with training standards if a qualified airline pilot feels uncomfortable performing a visual approach in good weather into an airport with no tricky features.

Asiana wasn't a small error of judgment, it was a fundamental failure of training and over-reliance on automation which resulted in a pilot who didn't really know how to land.

User space proxying for protocols other than http, though, is a bit tricky. If you aren't exposing things like source ip, listen queue depth, buffer sizes, errno from failures, etc...you are potentially limiting how well it works. Plus the read/write overhead. I'm not convinced this is any better than other approaches. Brokered iptables (or pf,etc) port rewrites seems cleaner, though it has issues as well.

The recording is edited for highlights. The LiveATC archive has a ~40 second interval between "go around" and "flew directly over us" and even that archive is edited to remove silence, so the real interval may have been even longer.
In general Canada "costs" more:

http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Canada/Unit...

However, this does not adjust for free healthcare and education.

On the other hand, tech cost of living is skewed by SF and Vancouver.

SF is the #1 tech city in the US whereas Vancouver may be #2 in Canada, but the US is a larger country so SF may "dilute" more. Without stats, this is just guesswork.
Dying is a bit dramatic. LA, NY, SF are only dying for those who can't afford them. For the 1%, and even for high-earning single people, these cities continue to have huge appeal.

>Their goal is to create a workforce bound by their economic debt to the system, forced to take whatever work they can find, while being paid as little for that work as possible, understanding ultimately, the creation of an indentured workforce is not only the result but an expected one, keeping society enfeebled and unable to create opportunities for further development.

mmhmm. that's called capitalism. this mode of capitalism is all that many people of the millenial generation have ever known, which makes it ripe for some "disruption."

the good news is that because of burgeoning rage, our broken system probably can't continue much longer. my estimate is maybe 20 years, although i wouldn't be too shocked if it's more like 5 years or more like 30 years. hard to predict these things.

middle class people are no longer secure, and they're the most likely source of revolutions if we look at history. there have already been rumblings; first in 2011-2012, then later with the race riots, and more recently with acceptance of socialism edging into the mainstream-- not your grandma's mainstream, the mainstream of the young and healthy.

i'd expect this country to have a more violent and perhaps more productive repeat of the 1960s reformation before we settle on democratic socialism or some other equitable politicoeconomic system. or perhaps we'll flub it somehow and accelerate our meteoric descent into third-world poverty, corruption, and squalor.

i'm sure people will take issue with that statement for a lot of reasons, but realistically that's our near future. the current system is a house of cards waiting for a breeze.

Specialize - how can you compete in a market of PHP backend devs when you want to work remote?

Be a Distributed systems specialist.
Or a machine learning guru.
write a book, go talk at meetups and get them posted online. You need a differentiating factor.

If you think people are going to trust you to work remote because you have 3 years of PHP backend experience, you're wrong. You need to be trusted in the greater community, to have presence. If anything you should be landing gigs through referrals, not applying with your CV. So how do you get from point a to b? network. Meet people. Go to lots and lots of meetups and talk at them.

Haven't been reading is definitely true. Not sensible sounds like the case.

If you're using a cryptographic hash, your method clearly works. If you're using a fast and crappy hash function, you might need more care. But I suspect not.

So what? Is scrolling really that big of a deal?

The increased font size and more pronounced page hierarchy make it easier for me to grok the page structure at a glance and navigate to the section I need (since I'm probably not reading the entire page front to bottom if I'm at an MDN link).

Why does all information need to be above the fold? It's not like I can interpret everything on the page in the 1000ms necessary it would take me to scroll.

There is, if you use it. In this case they were doing a visual approach , where you use eyesight in order to line up and land, because you have seen the runway. People do visual approaches in SFO as they are necessary to land 2 aircraft at the same time on the parallel runways ( they're like 30ft too close for parallel approaches on instrument ). It is still recommended to even in a visual approach, turn on the instrument approach systems ( for that exact reason ) but it looks like it is not mandatory for that airline.
> developing a product that it's unlikely any domestic firm could, and struggling to find a way to stay here so that they have access to American talent.

How do those two statements not contradict each other? It sounds like "developing a product that it's unlikely any domestic firm could" should really be "developing a product that domestic firms are not interested in" if the talent required to build it is also American.
Do you have a source for that statement? If I'm not mistaken synthetic diamonds are almost always detectable by experienced gemologists (like the ones working at Debeers, presumably), and the timeline of synthetic diamond technology wouldn't line up either.
