I think the question was would it be ill-advised for all your employees to be H1B if you're a startup?

For example, I found this on a Google search https://archive.fo/ETWuR

> Employers are considered to be H1B dependent if they have less than 25 workers and more than 7 H1B workers; between 26 to 50 workers and more than 12 H1B workers; or more than 50 workers with 15% or more of them being H-1B foreign nationals. In this case, H1B dependent employer must fulfill 2 additional requirements.

> Displacement of US workers: An H1B dependent employer must attest that by hiring a H1B worker, it is not displacing any US worker for a similar position within 90 days before or after filing a H1B petition.

> Recruitment efforts: The H1B dependent employer must also attest to making good faith attempts to recruit US workers and offering prevailing wages for this position. When hiring an H1B worker, it is important for employers to recognize the attendant responsibilities that they must shoulder. Although the requirements are not excessively burdensome, the employer is required to maintain some paperwork to demonstrate its compliance with the law. A clear understanding and fulfillment of these requirements will minimize possible civil penalties and ensure that the employer will be permitted to petition for future H1B workers.

> What the hell is all that?

Libraries of code.

> I am not saying he is wrong...

Good, because they are right.

> I am just saying that I don't have the capacity to play in that playground

Good, because you are right.

> I am also asking if any of those libraries will be around in a year?

Yes. Some have been around for years already.

Listen, it's fine that you are using Python. It's fine that the OP is using JavaScript. It doesn't make you wrong. It doesn't make them wrong. Just because you are confused doesn't make it wrong. Hell, Python should worry about itself; it has enough warts of it's own it doesn't need people pretending that a library like bcrypt is confusing.
In my area, I have had recruiters specifically tell me that they will not list junior positions because of the hiring market being completely oversaturated with bootcamp graduates. I have had several tell me something along the lines of "this is listed as a mid-to-senior level position, but that is just to keep bootcampers from applying".

Without any commentary on whether you can be skilled/productive/knowledgeable after a bootcamp program, it CAN hurt your odds to list it on your resume. A former employer of mine was burned so bad by a string of bad hires they say they will never work with bootcampers again. Anecdotally I have observed that bootcamps tend to have their own tight-knit networks of alumni or companies willing to hire from a given camp, so I can't comment toward the net effect (whether it's better not to list the bootcamp on your resume at all), but I can guarantee you there are employers who want nothing to do with you if your primary education and experience are from a bootcamp, as misguided as that may be.

The person you are responding to makes a reasonable point that if an employer cares about productivity, then what you can accomplish on your own and what you actually know and understand should be emphasized. They may perceive that applicants whose primary self-advertised selling point is "I went to Einstein-Hawking Ruby Camp" may not have anything unique/valuable to offer for a given role because they seem identical to many other applicants from that same place, some/many of whom may have underperformed. I would recommend not developing a chip on your shoulder about it.
While I don't feel that there is risk of brain drain because of the reasons listed in the article, I do believe there is that risk. To be honest, even though many European countries don't pay as much as the US for the same job, I found much more comfort around the ideas pushed in those countries.

The culture I found in Sweden for instance is one that is much better for the employees than the fast-paced top-gun style of programming expected in the US. Sure my peak will probably be 60k, but that 60k will also come with a much better social quality of life. That's the problem with the US that would risk brain drain in my opinion. Money attracts people, but treating them well will keep them and the US is starting to fall away from treating its workers well.

Edit: just think about this. Most Americans talk about how they have so much work to do they don't get vacation. Well in Europe you usually get your 2 weeks and in many countries you get 4 contiguous weeks without question. Couple that with better healthcare options, and yeah the US is not looking so great.
Dreamhost is a hosting provider. Why do they keep these records in the first place and especially over six months later? It seems to me that there will be a big market for hosts that don't keep such logs or delete them after a specified period where they might be useful to debug issues (24-48hrs).
Some possible reasons why:

1. Athletic performance is easy to measure. Especially for individual sports (track and field, gymnastics, weightlifting) the numbers are the only way to compare athletes. Not so for programming. If someone invented a way to definitively judge programming ability today they'd become very rich, very soon.

2. If we assume that mastery of programming follows a sigmoid-curve (not an unreasonable assumption, IMO) it means that the ability difference in "coding for X years" and "coding for X + 5 years" becomes nearly indistinguishable for some value of X, for people of roughly similar innate ability and drive to improve. And if you believe in innate ability, then there will certainly be people who came to the field late and caught up with, or surpassed, less-innately-talented colleagues who have been programming longer.

3. One of the reasons that starting at an early age is important in athletics is because peak performance is harder and harder after you turn 30. The "growth" phase has to be therefore significantly accelerated. There's also evidence that for technical sports requiring motor coordination (eg. soccer), learning young is better. Whereas people can code at peak level until the day they die, assuming no other illnesses.
In other words, they completely fail to understand why Tor works the way it does. It's meant to be a neutral service that can be used to access content some authorities might not like if necessary.

Any ability to censor nodes on a gateway level provides an opportunity for unsavoury figures (like governments and businesses) to demand Tor censorship in regards to everything from copyright to political speech they don't agree with.
Should we not be outraged though? Everything listed in both the patent and the grandparent is worrying to me. I feel like I owe 80% of my identity to my activities and time on the Internet. Many my age feel the same.

That's not correct. An E-3 can apply for a green card. This is a common misunderstanding. There's no need to switch to H-1B.
I'm not really surprised at this. I was in DC for the inauguration at an officially permitted protest. Afterwards I'm heading back on the Metro with a small sign saying "illegitimate president." When I get to the platform level there are several armed people in camoflauge, I'm assuming military, but I'm not 100% positive. I'm told by one of them that I need to leave the station immediately. I responded "is this a joke?" (Hindsight 20/20 that probably wasn't the best idea) and she says "no" as more armed people start approaching. Needless to say I left the station, but at that moment I realized something was different this time. You may disagree with the message I was carrying, but having military (or their look-a-likes) booting out people with messages against the official government line is pretty scary.
Pretend further that an angry mob at work would get you fired if they don't like your stance on this issue.
Not only can it happen here, but the founders of the country thought it would by the mid 1800s.
It's implied that the vet is the commenter themselves ("picked up a Veteran Scholarship worth half my $16,000 tuition"), who "came from a mix of technologies (approximate knowledge, but a master of none)" - hardly "no qualifications."

There's no reason to assume the mom isn't similar (many stay-at-home mothers in the US have college degrees).
True.

Yes, mainly because CV just isn't there yet. Also because Lidar is better suited for the task than a camera+sufficient CV would be. The cost of Lidar is almost inconsequential anyways when compared with the total amount of building, developing, and testing an autonomous vehicle.
I wasn't speaking of fiction in my original post. The purpose of fiction is to create an experience in the mind of the reader rather than to convey information. As such, you can't judge a work by an absolute standard, really the only measure of success is how well the writing tends to induce the experience the author intended. This of course will depend on how well the author has anticipated the mind of the reader.

It is true that no preferences exist free of introduced bias. My problem is mainly with things that people train themselves to like in order to appear "sophisticated". It's like an arms race, where people learn to like progressively less pleasant things in order to differentiate themselves. Everyone would be happier if we collectively said "screw sophistication" but nobody wants to be the first person to appear "boorish".
This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but one thing that increased my enjoyment of reddit and twitter was making heavy use of lists and multireddits and unsubscribing from things I didn't want to see without looking for.

For example, I was subbed to a half-dozen Diablo related subreddits that were more popular than some of the smaller subreddits I was interested in. This meant that my homepage was cluttered with posts from those subreddits. Therefore, I made a Diablo multireddit and ubsubbed from the Diablo related subreddits making my homeoage a bit cleaner and it has the added benefit of concentrating the Diablo information when I am looking for it.

I also do this in an inverse manner. For example, I'm still subscribed to the team subreddits of sports teams I follow, but since they tend to be small, I have them lumped into a "My Teams" multireddit where I can easily check what is going on for the half-dozen teams I really care about.

The use of multireddits has greatly improved my reddit experience.
This borders between worthless and harmful. If you're going to make statements that stand completely at odds with the medical establishment, it's really your burden to provide evidence that you're right.

You can turn on an Intelisense option to show methods that would be in scope, if you had the using statement, and it will auto add the using statement if you select that. Really helpful.
It honestly never occurred to me this was about "foreign languages". lol!!!
Wait, don't the police get similar information dumps from similar fact patterns kind of routinely? I know they can't properly use dragnet searches as a starting point for an investigation, but if they have a reasonably specific criminal inquiry they're pursuing, can't they get their hands on a lot of stuff?

I'm not sure the fact pattern you're providing really illustrates the concern.

Rather, I think the concern is that the prosecutors have what appears to be a very diffuse criminal inquiry, and that the specific information they're looking for has a clear side-effect of intimidating lawful protesters. The concern is that the "investigation" is a pretense for intimidation.

You can't say that about the police investigating bar patrons for a specific car theft or whatever.
My understanding[0] is that use of radar to provide continuous situational awareness is routine, not avoided in the way you describe.

About the disappearing window in the chrome extension I can sadly not do anything as far as I know. Is build in chrome. However if you want something that does not disappear you can right click on the fish-icon and select options. But normally logging into the extension is not really needed. If you are logged into link.fish the chrome-extension should find the data by itself and log itself in when you click the first time on the fish-icon.

Yes sorry for copy and pasting there is currently a limit of 250 URLs at a time. If you want to add more at once you would have to do that by uploading an HTML-bookmark file (like chrome exports to).

The "No entries found" thing is something I have on my to-do-list. Is really kind of confusing to see that message while the entries load. Sorry.

Hi Peter, what effects do you think Trump's new policies on immigration will have on OPT/H1B engineers in Silicon Valley tech companies? My friends freaked out when he was first elected but so far they're saying not bad as they thought.
>This idea that not having had an all-consuming for programming since childhood and not maintaining an active Github account for all your side projects means that we don't want your kind is toxic.

Then you are not aware of the toxic comments from your peers who agree with you.

To recap...

Group 1: programming-is-just-a-job -- the majority -- The programmers who want to compartmentalize their programming strictly to 40-hours work week so they can have a life outside of computers. Programming is just a means to an end. Programming is just the paycheck that feeds my family. Great! There's nothing wrong with you! You outnumber the programmers who view it as an artistic endeavor and self-actualization.

Group 2: programming-is-my-vocation -- the minority -- The programmers who got into as kids and find joy in side projects after hours & the weekends.

It's not enough for these 2 groups to peacefully coexist. It's also not enough that Group 1 outnumbers Group 2. It's also not enough that most cog-in-wheel corporate programming jobs don't even value Group 2's enthusiasm for programming.

No, Group 1 is not satisfied with the above advantages.
Group 1 is very annoyed if Group 2 programmers prefer working with other Group 2 programmers. G1 derides G2 as psychologically defective or unbalanced. E.g see HN poster (gyardley)[1] describing them as an "obsessive wretch" and "not an asset". Toxic indeed.

Hi Peter, my apologies. I was not clear enough. The scenario is like this. One of my friends is a citizen. Our plan is that he will establish a startup and another set of friends( all on h1B)will work as employees for that startup. Is there a cap on how many H1B employees can a startup hire?
My sides.
I was under the impression that the intricacies of creating a small biosphere on Mars pose a vastly larger obstacle than the simple issue or radiation (which can be eliminated by simply shoving enough regolith on top of your colony).
Possibly yes but again the details matter. Depending on where you all are from and the structure of the US company, you might qualify for E-2 visas or even O-1 visas.
While I am strongly opposed to this warrant as being ridiculously too broad, I think you are off the mark.

The government is not investigating those who hurt Trump's feelings (does he have any? sorry :) ). It is the law enforcement that is going after violent rioters whatever their political views are. I hope it does and keeps doing it every time there is a violent riot.

To me, the problem is in trying to grab a lot of private information in the hopes of easily finding leads. Instead they should focus on other sources: I suspect DC has all sorts of video monitors and was swarming with agents during the inauguration. Cannot this serve as the source of leads? Maybe cops can walk around some more and talk to people? I doubt a crowd can riot without leaving traces to the identities of a number of rioters. My 2c.
We are using a deep learning algorithm to improve the detection. We also have a built-in module that automatically detects new web patterns – which we then manually curate to ensure accuracy.
I think we can all agree that the conservative thing to do is carry on like we are and see if we destroy the planet.
Hi Peter, has the been any uptick in RFEs and denials for H1 applications and transfers under the current administration? Have there been any other noticable changes for startup immigration under this regime?
Kudos, will look into it but,

> I always found it strange that C# had nullability on value types, but not on reference types

Version 1.0 of C# was the same as Java: Nullable reference types and non-nullable value types. Nullable value types didn't come until version 2.0 but at that point ir was too late to make reference typed non-nullable.

I'm glad they're actually putting the effort to fix this issue now. It's a huge task given the amount of legacy code out there.
No, not at all, not even close.

Was the Daily Stormer's visitor logs up for grabs at any point? Did GoDaddy/Google hand over data to the government as a matter of public record? No.

What about visitor data for any alt-right or white supremacist sites being requested by the government? Maybe in association with a possible hate crime investigation, but nothing I've heard about recently.

Well, the cost of a raspberry Pi for a home server is actually quite high when compared to using the busted or obsolete phone gathering dust in your drawer.

Since there are probably millions of these, why not recycle into cheap servers given the benefits of their low power use (and the possible ability to draw power to charge during cheap periods and run off battery during expensive ones).
Sorry but that's outside my area of expertise.

No one likes callback hell but I believe they meant that you can just pass a function expression directly. No need to define a named function. It's the difference between:

let doubled = nums.map(x => x * 2)

and this:

def double(x):
return x * 2
doubled = map(double, nums)

(my Python is pretty rusty so maybe there's a better way of doing that)
I;m not sure what you mean. Please elaborate.

Sad that we apparently need to add "outlawing Nazis" to that list now.
The problem is that fresh water is a scarce resource. Give it away for free and it will be used inefficiently and you will run out. This is an area where markets are an efficient solution, so long as the scarcity problem does not become so pronounced that the poor are unable to afford water. If this happens it is a policy failure and an external force (the government) would have to step in to insure that everybody has enough water to at least survive, probably by shutting down some big industrial users to reduce demand and lower the price.
The whole point of the 4th amendment is you have to figure out what you're looking for first, then request and get permission to only that specific thing. The 4th amendment bans blanket "looking for something fishy" searches. You're supposed to be forced to justify each individual person's rights you're violating as necessary for the investigation of the crime. In other words, this is the textbook scenario the Bill of Rights is meant to prevent.

I think this horse left the barn a long time ago. At least they are actually going to court and not doing something like use the NSAs database and then utilize some parallel construction technology technique to lie in court about how they discovered the alleged wrong doing. This is hardly the first time a court has granted the serving of an overly broad warrant. I would like to say that we could put this horse back in the barn but I think the previous administration made it clear that there is no political will in the US to do so.
