I know it's not inherent to the English language, that's why I want to not care about it. But it's also something that was ingrained into me early in my education, so it's something I care about a little. Like multiplication tables. No one cares about multiplication tables but they're hard to forget when you're drilled on it from 4th grade to high school.
If I'm aware that a member of my company is an illegal immigrant, what can I do to protect them and the company?
Stackexchange (including stackoverflow) have the highest quality discussions I've found anywhere. (Try physics, for example!) This is in part maintained by the high quality of their community platform. I just wish all news + commentary had to run through such a system. If I were a Benevolent Dictator, they'd control the Media.
The L-1B visa does not allow you to work for another company. You would need to get separate sponsorship to work for another company.
To me it's less about visas and more about jobs. Why aren't their more research jobs? Why isn't the govt doing more to bolster research and create opportunity for talented minds?
I've not done that in every thread on Rust, but I have made similar comments in Rust threads about areas where Ada has it beat with regard to some parts of the type system and compile-time guarantees and checks. If I was ever downvoted, it was not below base post karma (1).

Or choice of symbols and identifiers. People love to bash Perl, but Larry is definitely on to something when it comes to names and symbols, however flawed/misused the implementation in Perl may be; I feel like we're chasing the same ghosts.

An example is Snabels use of "|" for resetting the stack, "_" for dropping the top and "(..)" for grouping modifications; it smells a tiny bit like Perl in that it's not afraid of using what's available to get the wanted experience, but has a dramatic effect on code shape compared to regular mumble-Forth.

When a type 2 diabetic enters remission after losing weight and/or gastric bypass, they are typically kept on metformin forever, because it's cheap and they obviously have a risk factor for diabetes. Metformin is very, very widely prescribed.

That said, lactic acidosis, while rare, can actually kill you. So I wouldn't take metformin without consulting a doctor.
I hope this is an opportunity for you to learn and not just me wasting my time addressing a troll.

That's not the question you should be asking. The question you should be asking yourself is "why am I OK with violating the 4th amendment rights of millions of citizens"

I would argue that the range of the collision alarm should take the ship's mass into account. Certainly my minivan's does. Have softer threshold alarms that sound earlier. Yes, even if it causes some false indications it might be a net improvement (though they should be cautious in making this kind of design change because it might not be a net improvement).
We generally advise our clients to file I-751s on their won and save the money because it's a really straightforward process (assuming no issues).
Well sure, I'm sure they want to salvage the cameras and USB cables and include them in TX2 kits.

Everything here screams "we are trying to sell off stuff". Say it as such. It's called a "clearance". It's totally fine to call it that and as an engineer (their target market) I would respect them more for being direct and straightforward in their marketing.

As a customer I would prefer that new names be given to new designs, not existing designs with components that can be salvaged taken off. Trying to pull off this sales nonsense just reduces my respect for the NVIDIA brand by a notch.

If they came up with a redesigned TX1 module that consumes half the power, or a kit with a freshly-designed compact carrier board, or some other novel hardware features, then sure, call it the "TX1 SE" or "TX1s" or whatever they want.
Citation needed on metformin "making you stupid", and "interfering with anything requiring effort", especially given the multiple studies showing metformin to improve exercise tolerance, and preventing cognitive decline in patients who have taken it.
> the complaint (which is extremely common) is that functions that contain statements are not expressions in Python, so functional coding styles using things like .map() and .reduce() end up fragmented

You mean these critics find

>>> map(lambda x: x**2, filter(lambda x: not x % 2, range(11)))

preferable to the "fragmented":

def square(x):
return x ** 2

def is_even(x):
return not x % 2

>>> (square(x) for x in range(11) if is_even(x))

Both result in the same lazy iteration (to see results below - requires materialization with a constructor like list or tuple), but I find the "fragmented" approach much more readable (so long as the functions do what their name says they do - I have seen Python where they actually did the opposite...)

>>> list((square(x) for x in range(11) if is_even(x)))
[0, 4, 16, 36, 64, 100]
>>> list(map(lambda x: x**2, filter(lambda x: not x % 2, range(11))))
[0, 4, 16, 36, 64, 100]
Energy, yes.

Intelligence, not directly. But I can provide links that caloric restriction diets do (that means diets that are sufficiently strict that you lose weight no matter what weight you currently have). (And that's in adults, in children they cause total disasters)

Since this is the working mechanism of that drug, I felt it relevant to put there.
Safe semantics don't preclude fast code. See eg Rust, which arguably enables you to write faster code than C++ - because its guarantees let you have confidence in correctness of complex programs involving fine grained shared memory parallelism mutating common data.
I think that should be covered under the mom's insurance at least for 30 days post birth (at least in California). I could be wrong..
First, our salaries aren't high compared to the value we generate for these companies.

Second, the relatively higher salaries we get out here are driven by two things: 1) the number of companies competing for talent and 2) the artificial scarcity induced by how they define the arena of competition (over-focus on "CS fundamentals" and under-focus on engineering fundamentals).
People are far less energy efficient than modern locomotives. (In terms of chemical energy to motion.) So, I am now not sure what you mean.

PS: You can also extract energy by mixing salt and fresh water, so the minimum energy to separate them must be greater than that.
If one were to want to immigrate as an investor from a country of birth such as Oman but bring funds in from Country of Nationality - such as India, how much would they need to bring in to qualify for the green card via investment?
So what are you saying that until the Internet it was virtual (no pun) impossible to investigate crimes?

Maybe they can do like the rest of the world investigate rioters (that commits crimes) by analyzing camera footage? I find it hard to believe that countries - with less possibilities - can do it, but in the US suddenly it's impossible.

I must be careful for Godswin law but in a country where Lügenpresse is also suddenly a thing, I'm very skeptical of the fact that this is needed because its the only way to identify "rioters". It reminds me of certainly historic events where they also needed to identify opponents of X and Y for "crimes".

Btw how the hell are you going to find a couple of individuals in 1.3 million visitor records if that is the only lead?

A few insurers were accepting people (and accepting payment) without actually setting them up in the system. When many of these people went to use the insurance, they were told that not only did they not have insurance, they would be denied any insurance for having pre-existing conditions.

Pretend we're talking about Daily Stormer and Charlottesville and I bet you'd see things differently.
I have been in your position about a year ago. The approached that helped me, was to not worry about all this.

Just start somewhere; and in a month or two, you would mostly know which libraries you need to add to your project.

The best way to go about it, is to check a few popular open source projects; what libraries they typically use.

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

You can check the download stats of these in https://npmjs.com, and activity on the GitHub repo, before adding it to your project.

If they are still around, but have published a new major version to update a few APIs; you can slowly migrate to it.

If not, you'd read some Medium post or Hackernews discussion, about what is replacing that.

There's something called Greenkeeper (https://greenkeeper.io/) that integrates a GitHub bot to your repo, and files a PR when something needs to be upgraded.

You can implement something similar on your own, if you aren't interested in using something like this.

That's not correct - according to the Collision Regulations, simply being a large ship does not make you "restricted in ability to maneuver." That definition is reserved for vessels carrying out an activity which restricts them from altering their course, such as dredging or mine clearing. A large oil tanker may be "constrained by draught" in a narrow channel in which case it does indeed have right of way over smaller vessels, but larger vessels will be constrained too so "priority over everything" becomes a pretty meaningless concept as everyone will have it.

In open water, large vessels like that give way to smaller vessels when appropriate all the time.

Peter, I am in H1B visa working full time for my employer, but I am also a co-founder with equal equity (nothing on paper as on date) for a startup incorporated in Delaware.

Is it legal to be a co-founder (and own equity) in a startup other than the employer who sponsored my H1B? If yes, what I need to do? Thanks.
Since bullshit is cheap, viruses, bacterias and fetuses try to use hormones to make host organisms jump hoops for them.

He's asking if he can hire H1B holders _only_, I think.
For example, you can bounce it off the ground under the car in front of you to "see" and measure how fast the car in front of that car is moving. That can be used to anticipate collision risks that even the car in front of you hasn't seen yet (and you cannot see with your own eyes).

This isn't true. Even 10 years ago it was pretty normal for litigation involving the SEC to routinely have half a million or more hard copy pages shipping between law firms and the gov't, and 10 years ago about half of all documents that printing and scanning vendors were handling in discovery were paper. The American legal system and US-based law firms are notorious for that sort of thing. See also Iron Mountain.
Canada is getting some great talent right now. Americans, Brits, and people who would have gone to the US or UK are coming here.

If we can keep them here, this will be a big boost for Canada long term.

I think the point was that is a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line? Do we trust the restrictions we have placed on our government to not violate our rights?

One more reason (other than data breaches) for why services should look for ways not just to minimize storage of records and data on users that they don't absolutely need to provide the service and that alone, but also to offer users way to encrypt the data with their own key.
Perhaps I'm too optimistic, but I think everything America needs to succeed and grow can be found right here in America. The problem is that it's sometimes cheaper to import foreign labor, or export domestic production.

The only time Java was cool was in 1995. But almost right off the bat, the language was ruined by an incredible desire to not even potentially break or change anything -- this is what got us inner classes for event handling -- and every design decision since.

If anything, Java (the language) is probably improving at a faster rate now than ever before but much of the damage is already done.
DisruptJ20 appears to have been created for the quite specific purpose of organising people to disrupt the presidential inauguration through illegal "direct action" tactics, with particular focus on teaching people to interfere with police checkpoints, resist arrest, etc. (By the way, remember those photos of the endless empty seats at the inauguration parade? The site in question has a post up bragging about how they shut down most of the security checkpoints, stopping people from entering: https://archive.is/SZwAO For some reason that didn't make the press, then or now.)
Good point. Does this apply even in peacetime while in friendly waters? I suppose you never know when you might become a target.

Everyone: please don't downvote for disagreeing with the sentiment. Koolba poses a legitimate question. Address it or ignore the comment.
More accurately we're entering a new era of politically slanted selective memories.

See: The bulk phone data collection programs instituted by the Patriot Act, the vast expansion of NSA data collection (of us all) under the Obama administration, the straight-to-the-wire tapping of critical internet infrastructure and providers such as Google, Microsoft etc. enabled by the establishment of the secret FISA court which has never denied a warrant, and so much more.

Let's also not forget the persecution endured by the whistleblowers for the above institutions by the Obama regime.

Hi Peter,

I held an H1B from 2012 to September 2015.

If I were to look for visa sponsorship again, am I cap-exempt because of my previous H1B?
I wonder if they meant that you shouldn't pay providers until things are sorted out. I agree that you need to pay your premiums, but doctors and hospitals will just send you to collections. Still not a great option, but it does keep the money in your pocket until things are sorted out. (Of course, I wouldn't do this unless I was very sure I was right, also, so that any collections issues would be an insurer/provider error.)
I knew them when they were on their previous respective visas too.
Their's also works as a site. For example https://www.whatruns.com/website/minecraft.net. But as far as I know you would have to write that manually, without a web-interface.
Let's also not forget that an app is a digital experience and coffee is a physical one.

Plus even if the facts the author wrote were not true, it's just overused at this point anyway.

I'm not a physician, but I've heard that like many life-saving drugs, Metformin's working mechanism is not yet well understood.

It's a vast oversimplification and likely completely _wrong_ that Metformin has the same effect as calorie restriction. If that was so, logic dictates that Metformin would be effective for weight loss. It isn't.

My wife is a non-US citizen (Mexico) but has lived in the US for her entire life as a permanent resident. As in, she was born in a Mexican hospital but was taken directly across the border to her home in the United States when she was released to her parents.

It's my understanding that if she ever decides to pursue citizenship that it's generally easier to go the permanent resident qualification route vs. the marriage route. Is this understanding correct?
That's all correct.
Every week we're seeing more and more news like that - whether its the government or internet companies - in which people's right to privacy and to freedom online are being severely threatened. I'm not an american, but I grew up seeing the USA as an example of freedom and progress. It's very sad that this is becoming less and less true every passing day.
