What you said is irrelevant to the discussed topic. With GPLv2, the hardware vendors must ship source code -- that is, follow the license. GPLv3 doesn't change this fact nor was it created to make this requirement, as it was already present in GPLv2, which is what we discussing.

Actually it's currently looking more like 15 years. People with priority dates in 2009 are just getting in. So if you account for the number (plus consider the fact the people in EB-3 become eligible for EB-2 after a few years), it looking more like 15.

The silly thing is, there is bipartisan bill in congress and Senate to fix it (HR 392). But it is stuck is legislative limbo.

I wouldn't consider it "a problem," but a theory is surely better than the lack of one.

It may be out of our league, or we may just need a genius to help figure it out.

Calculus and Newtonian Mechanics and Relativity were probably out of our league before they weren't.
That's 78MB :)

Eventually other solutions will be needed, like sharding. One solution for the never ending growth of spent transaction and block header data is snapshots. Practically, you can safely not validate tx data older than X, if X is a sufficient length of time.

A solution for neverending state size growth is storage rent with pruning of entries that default on rent payment.
If I do a git clone of the parity github and deploy the multisig wallet, how much will it cost versus just using the stub/delegatecall architecture that's being used by everyone?

No public rides quite yet: "The current passengers for this test are Waymo employees, however, so it’s not as if the Alphabet-owned company is throwing caution to the wind; instead, it’s showing that it’s ready to move to the next major phase of operations after around a decade of working on this incredibly complex problem."
My car doubles as a "everything I need when I take the kid out" storage. We always have:

- diapers

- changing pad

- strollers

- extra clothes

- kids movies for the tv in the van, queued up to where we left off

Sure, people in places like NYC just carry all that stuff with them when they take the kid out, but they also take the kid out less often or move to the burbs because it's a huge pain in the butt.

I'd much rather own the car simply so that I can keep all my stuff in it that I need when I go out.
I'm earnestly appalled at how terrible this release has been.

I've had an iPhone since 3GS and this is the first time I can remember I've really regretted an update. I've NEVER experienced my iPhone completely locking up for 5-10 minutes right in the middle of me trying to get work done, not allowing me to even force-reboot it.

I have to power cycle it at least a dozen times a day now because it gets into a state where apps will no longer launch until I do it.

I'm not really a whiny user, but this is a whole new level of suck I've never seen before. It's a Windows ME grade of garbage release. Very disappointing as I felt iOS 10 was bulletproof and I relied on my phone to have my back as I was traveling and working, and now I'm constantly hoping the next app I switch to doesn't disable it for 10 minutes right in the middle of me doing something important.
You have a really mercantile view of things: Team Murika is gonna Win the Trade War by signing all the primo players from the other teams!

An alternate way to look at this is that the economy and society of the USA is failing its own citizens by either giving them an inadequate education or not providing them opportunities to succeed. And your proposal is to simply write everyone who's already here off, declare them to be rejects, and import new people over the top of them to be worker bees for the elite.

I can say that I'm not really personally concerned with how many billionaires we have in the US, or how many multinational corporations are headquartered here. I'd be fine if that all went to China, so long as the USA stayed the land of fairness and justice.
For someone who is considering posting there, it might be of interest to get an idea about the likely payoff:

Another for the list - the new Podcasts app is terrible

I always wondered why not make the H1B salary minimum the same as someone exemplary in that field ( H1B salary 1.5x the average for the position ). If someone is truly extraordinary then a company wouldn't mind paying a little extra but it would influence the average price up and not down for the field.
If you think npm is less buggy, you haven't been paying attention after the npm 5 release. Or when npm had an obvious race condition that resulted in publish breaking at random for years. Let's not pretend npm is slowed down by being well-crafted and reliable.
I don't doubt NASA's will or the connection between this and SpaceX. What I do doubt is that any of the conventional big aerospace contractors would ever have attempted anything like landing F9 first stages. They'd do a paper analysis, conclude it's either impossible or (by some twisted logic) not economical, and double down on disposable rockets.

I mean... they are still arguing that reusability is not economically viable. I get the sense that they didn't think it was going to work and now they're in shock and it's slowly sinking in just how far behind they are.
I agree that that statement is absolutely applicable to "native" students as well! And there are definitely some outstanding international students!

The author I was replying though doesn't seem to differentiate though, for example, between graduate students coming here to do research and learn cutting-edge things and undergraduates who have wealthy families that export them abroad because of course that's what one does.

You've also kind of nailed another issue on the head: it is more profitable, per student, for universities to bring in international students than to teach local ones. This in turn leads to an increase in pricing for everybody (though probably not as much as due to student loan availability, but that's a different thing) and weird campus behavior to accommodate valued country officials (local school of Rice University, for example, hiding Taiwanese flags during a visit by mainlanders).
I don't follow your line of thought. How is the government picking up the tab? The government isn't making any payment back to the institution.
Wages aren't fixed though. But H1b visas are fixed to the employer.
It's a new release, not a general decline in quality. This always happens, it's just that iOS updates are infrequent enough that people forget about the day 1 bugs.

You want to be on the cutting edge? This is what you get! I didn't even have to tell my mother not to update, she knew to wait a few months.

Spot on. The only catch is that there may be industries who genuinely need H1Bs but cannot match the pay grade; a corner case may be added for them.
You know, HN usually slaps me on the wrist for insinuating that someone is a white nationalist, which is why I was pretty low key about it, so.. thanks for just coming out and admitting it, I guess?
Just circling back here (hoping someone can help me with my coverage). Given how the endpoint required no authentication (no uid/pwd, key, or token), and therefore, Yahoo had no idea what developers were using it, how did you (speaking to developers here) expect to be notified of the API's retirement?
We're on the 4th update for this OS, it's almost been 2 months since release, I don't think calling them day 1 bugs is at all fair here.
Worth noting: Requires "Access [to] your data for all websites"

On the add-on site, it fortunately does note why:

Not to mention volume- the US has way more chances to develop the next genius from sheer numbers alone. Works the same way with Olympic sports.
They'd already printed up name placards for Sam Fakename, so it was really important that they could reuse those for the next candidate.
This is not only happening to H1-B Visas. I am on L1 Visa and got an RFE as well. Lawyers said that they have seen a large increase in such requests.

I am in charge of production systems which, if they go down for any significant amount of time, can represent hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue. This is a very niche system(networking-related), not your usual run of the mill web app. My salary is in the 6 digit range (and I have got multiple raises since then). I have got awards from my company for work I have and am doing.

Still got an RFE. Now, I'll have to dig into payslips from my home country, get letters from former managers overseas, justify one more time all the skills (which I already did multiple times), provide org charts(from the current and previous position), and so on. I believe I have a pretty strong case, but it's a very stressful process. All this to be allowed to continue doing the stuff that was previously approved. And, unless I apply for a green card, I can stay for 5 years max. So why make it even harder? There's already an expiration date.

And I can't drive while this is going on (DMV wants the approved extension). Fun times.

The US is a great country; I feel that some "natives" have no idea how great it is, despite all its quirks. And, for engineers, the allure of Silicon Valley is too great – everything of notice is happening here. I have chosen to come here, and I knew that I need to jump through some hoops and prove my worth, to both the country and the company. But at some point, you start questioning if it is worth it.

Can an American do my job? Absolutely – if you can find one with the right skillset that's willing to join. This position was open for MONTHS before the company even considered hiring from outside the country. They tried increasing the offers too, no takers, at least not qualified ones. The problem is that at some point all the companies can do is to poach from one another.

Can you improve things with education? Yes. Do you want to avoid immigration altogether? Why would you, when you can hire the best brains from anywhere in the planet?

The problem is that there are companies heavily abusing the system. But they are a handful, and they should get the hammer. That's from a rational perspective though, not a politically motivated one.
I don't think that's OP's point, the article should talk more about the reason why the housing is so expensive, not just say "because of silicon valley." I would like to know what the problem is as well, as I was under the impression that salaries where connected to the cost of living (i.e. If someone needs a security guard, they should pay comparable to the cost of living in the area their employees would live.)
Not sure if that's a good thing though. I read some of the Swift standard library source code and found it very difficult to piece together all the stuff added by extensions, where they come from and where the original class definition is.

Obviously, it's going to be easier if you have written the code yourself, but what if someone else needs to read it?
My best guess: Some part of the QA team moved to work on High Sierra or other project.

Specially since Sierra/High Sierra got Siri and many iOS features.
Sometimes I find that casters miss a few small but important details in the heat of the moment and get derailed about most obvious topic. Playing the game or at least knowing about the mechanics from having spectated before gives you some analytical predictions. Whether that's to better enjoyment of watching the game is up to you.
IF there is a hard fork to resolve this I hope some very hard questions are asked regarding why there was a hard fork for this, and not one for the earlier Parity bug given that the amount of funds lost in both were roughly equivalent.

Unless I am recalling incorrectly, the bug during the summer did not impact anyone on the Ethereum team, while this one did.

Which would make the motivation behind a hard fork in this specific case ... questionable.

I think that would be the time I divest myself of the ETH I hold.

Disclaimer: (If it wasn't obvious from the above :) ) I hold a decent amount of ETH (thankfully not in a parity multi-sig wallet!)
> Did they interview anyone over 50 who has that exact experience

probably not. Why would they interview that person for what sounds like an entry level position?
It would be pretty easy for a fleet service to also provide a bin that you can persistently store your stuff in. When you summon a car, the system puts your bin in before it goes to get you.
Same. IMO last time I ordered from them the print quality seemed fine but the shirt itself was uncomfortable and fit poorly compared to years past.

Who would have thought that people stop coming back to your business if the quality of your products goes way downhill?
Why bother with a fixed number at all?

http://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-optimal-number...
Yeah because wanting someone who has worked in your company for 3-5 years and has an in depth knowledge of the job and the internal Dynamics of the company is obviously the exact equivalent of someone who has experience in the 3-4 specific headline technologies whether they are good or not at that is a terrible idea.

The alternative of an H1B is not an American. It's off shoring the entire project to a team that doesn't live in the US in the first place.
No questions. Just a big thank you !

distill.pub is really a really amazing place to learn.
But you could perhaps at least see the problem in a university lecturer not being able to afford to maintain a basic standard of living in the community where she teaches, right?

And if you can get that far, then perhaps you can see that the homelessness problem being described in this article goes well beyond the two causes you're trying to reduce the whole thing to?
Frankly, the fact whether or not it was malicious doesn't matter. The original developers fucked up, and there is no genuine excuse for that (regardless of the fact whether or not he was able to steal those funds).

This probably could have been fixed with basic testing.
I think there are two parts:

1) Internal representation for building/serving: For vector, the data would have to be aggregated in some way otherwise it would be way too slow (for example, tiles having 10 million or more lines). How exactly to do that vector aggregation is a real challenge. If there is a good solution I'm not aware of it.

2) End product quality: everything is ultimately rasterized on the viewer's monitor. So if upstream resolution is high enough vector doesn't have any advantage here.

Wouldn't people with the most experience in "finding" work... also be the people who have "found" work they didn't like--requiring many job changes?

My job was never listed anywhere. It was purely word-of-mouth that mentioned the job, and got me hired.

That's not the bar for the visa and never has been.
> Not for left handed people.

I'm left handed; the numpad is freakin' awesome for number entry. Back when I still played games like Descent and WoW, it was also very efficient to setup the mouse for my left hand and leave my right hand on the number pad. Aim and fire with mouse, maneuver with numpad (in Descent), or action bar items on numpad (in WoW).
Which is the class of poor Americans being displaced by H1B workers earning in excess of 100k at companies like Microsoft,Amazon,Google,etc which are constantly hiring anyways?
Also: Safari crashes with force touch click-through fairly often. Lots of notifications seem to flick around faster than I can see them or react. Weird bias towards closing app over switching apps in the app switcher.

It does seem a particularly messy release, perhaps akin to iOS 7. But many things also seem snappier and more useful. Like another commentator, I put it down to teething problems.
Oh man, I'm excited for you, I cried when I got to the end of THoR... you gonna continue with The History of Byzantium or Revolutions Podcast?

I find Robin Pierson to be pretty good (THoB), but I find I can't stop listening to Duncan... I'll buy the audio book for Storm Before the Storms just to keep listening.
Sure, but currently deep learning is more like experimental physics. You try stuff and see what works and empirically improve your understanding. Then you can generalize some heuristics from this and use that "recipe" in the future. You figured out ReLU suddenly made something work, yet Swish turned out better so you can forget about ReLU now. And as you can treat deep learning (in supervised mode) as non-linear optimization, I doubt we'll come up with a proper theory unless P=NP. We can't even understand far simpler non-linear optimization problems, not to mention ones which can be arbitrarily parametrized in 2nd order...
They didn't list the name as a requirement, but they said Firstname will be working on X, Y, and Z.

I assume the person writing the advertisement just forgot that they're technically looking for a local candidate.
They have been doing a series of incremental steps and press releases over the last several months. They started the early rider program in April. Recently they have been ramping up the press and public information program. They released a large 'safety report'. They have been working on self-driving education programs with organizations like MADD and NSC. They even put up billboards in Phoenix related to self-driving safety/education. They also did a big press event just recently inviting like 40 major media outlets including NY Times, WSJ etc. to their test track to give journalists rides and announce they would be launching soon.

Surprised you haven't heard about this stuff. They have been working pretty hard to publicize and market it.

The thing with including depreciation in the "cost" is that it doesn't actually matter to individuals.

To a business, depreciation is a real thing that affects their tax return. The Canada Revenue Agency has a lot of rules around how to depreciate assets and how they affect income. I'm sure the IRS has similar rules.

To a person, this is not the case. If I have a $10,000 car loan on a $20,000 car, the only things that matter are the down payment of $10,000 and the regular loan payments. If I pay the loan off over five years but the car has a 10 year useful life, those last five years are effectively free.

Yes, from a pure accounting perspective I would debit the asset account for my car, credit cash for the down payment, and credit a liability account for the car loan. But in reality, that doesn't actually matter. There is no impact on my taxes by amortizing my car over 10 years vs 5 years. The only impacts are how the down payment affected my savings and how the loan payments affect my cash flow.

I agree, there are good % of people like you for all right reasons to have a their OWN CAR "same CAR" every day.

There will be different flavors of pricing for needs like yours, like 'Keeping CAR With you'. How about this pricing

Option 1: The CAR will be in serving people 10 streets around your Home, will be available whenever you want but costs you $300 /month ( It will have two Locker boxes in the Truck to keep your Items ALL the time, and your LOCKER BOX opens only with your Smart Phone ).

Option 2: you lease Autonomous car, it is all yours to keep, but the price is like $500/month Lease .
