What difference would a human editor make? There is an exorbitant amount of news people on social media trying to convince everyone that they are needed.
Being a professor in that area doesn't mean your word is absolute truth, this topic has been full of bias from the beginning with Christians reluctant to admit Islamic influence. Adding in that "learning in general went in to decline," an absurd fantasy that none of your sources back up, means that's probably the basis for this disagreement.

So Photius wrote something on "Topics," we're now at 1/3rd of Aristotle's principle collection on Logic. Nothing about his further philosophical ideas.

Unfortunately, that means you don't have an initrd so you can't do luks encryption of your root, support certain filesystems as root (like zfs, mdadm raid), or various other things.

I thought modern RSA crypto intentionally stays away from real primes because it's less secure. They use two semi-prime co-primes of significant size and with a large enough difference between them.
What browser are you using? I just tried this with a 0x00 to 0xff linear gradient ( https://www.imagemagick.org/image/gradients/linear_gradient...., duplicated so I have two frames) encoded to MPEG levels (16 to 235) 8-bit h264.

ffmpeg -r 30 -f image2 -i linear_gradient%02d.png -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 -pix_fmt yuv420p -start_number 1 -vframes 2 linear_gradient.mp4

Firefox stretches it to 0x01 to 0xfe, and introduces obvious banding in the process. MPV does the same thing, although it has an optional debanding filter. The black and white levels are only a single unit off from the original, so I doubt I'd notice in real video. The banding is a much bigger problem (solved by 10-bit color spaces), but GIF has more banding in general use.
C# was mostly irrelevant to me a long time when Microsoft's implementation was closed, but there are some neat things about it. They've done a lot of interesting stuff in the language since it first came out, including pragmatic sugar-y stuff like type inference (`var`), async/await, and recently some moves towards more functional-style pattern matching though they're not totally there yet (https://www.kenneth-truyers.net/2016/01/20/new-features-in-c... discusses proposals, some of which didn't make C# 7). Interfaces and value types also seemed like important things to have early, and there's some other handy looking stuff like the SustainedLowLatency GC mode (defer full-heap compactions as long as it can).

Can be tempting to think of it as a Java clone because of its early history and the shared general category (OO-focused GC'd imperative statically typed language whose first major impl was bytecode/VM-based), but there's signs of more to it than that.
- The law which put an end to all prosecutions against witchcraft, which put it out of any man’s power to gratify his own malice by accusing his neighbour of that imaginary crime, seems effectually to have put an end to those fears and suspicions by taking away the great cause which encouraged and supported them.

The only reason why anyone even thinks of the term H1B abuser its because there are more people that apply to it than it allows: because it has constraint supply. If it didnt, the concept would not even exist (as it is for B1 abusers, or F1 abusers, etc).

> And yes, the government does in fact have the right to say who can come and work inside the country. That's sort of a fundamental right of a nation. If you don't have that, you essentially don't have a nation at all.

It depends on your interpretation of a country, US or its constitution. The government has the capacity to do all that. The 'right' is an entirely different matter.
Sketch's annual cost gives you updates for a year, but if you don't renew you still have a license to run the app and updates up to a certain date. A professional will pay the recurring cost but most people would be fine paying for Sketch once and running that version for years. I still use Sketch 2 without issues.

If you don't renew Adobe CC, you lose access to everything. I think the difference is important.

The province of Alberta, Canada (more than twice the land area of New Zealand) is free of rats.

In their case, it was largely by stopping rats entering from the east (Saskatchewan) in the 1950's - there are natural barriers on the other three sides.

History: http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/agd...

Still, NZ could be divided into areas that have natural barriers, and peninulas (plenty of them), and start intensive poisoning barriers in those areas, expanding towards the sea.

But someone that could provide enormous value in the future, might not qualify today. It is also a harm in the terms of brain drain. There should be very little doubt on the fact that any restriction will harm everyone in that 'ladder of skill'. It particularly harms those who would acquire those skills later on and dont have them today.
> That said, can we "reconfigure society" so that all this competitive activity of shuffling money from one pile to another isn't done? Maybe.

Your proposals boil down to ending deficit spending. Aside from the authority issue (no single entity has authority to do this, not even congress, definitely not the president), that means the US Federal government has to cut $650 billion dollars in spending.

Or to put it more directly: We currently have pensions, social security, an army (meaning having an army at all). Pick 2. The other one gets destroyed.

Still sounds reasonable ?
> My position on 2A is probably that I wish it didn't exist, but _given_ that it exists, I'd want to tread very cautiously around violating constitutional rights

From my perspective (as a foreigner who has spent a lot of time in the US) I think the second amendment has a lot of downsides, but I find myself siding with the gun rights crowd on principle, because the anti-gun-rights people seem to be so dishonest in their methods. The US Constitution provides a mechanism for amending the US Constitution, so if you don't like what the US Constitution says then you should be moving to amend the US Constitution, not moving to ignore it.

If gun rights opponents would just come out and say "Let's amend the Constitution to repeal the Second Amendment" then maybe I'd agree with them, because they'd be making an honest proposition to do things in the legally correct way, and they'd have to clear the appropriate bar to make it happen (incidentally I think the US Constitution should be like the Australian constitution and not changeable without a referendum, but that's another story).

But it seems that gun rights opponents almost never take this tack -- they're always trying to just straight-up ignore the US constitution.
That's a good suggestion, thanks.
The German car companies (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW) are very much pushing their electric models right now (both in development and marketing).

Yep. Perhaps emphasis on the "bundled with."

Unfortunately, I suspect Slack use at my company grew largely out of IT's unwillingness to spin up a web-facing IRC solution, and their unwillingness to expose internal services to the web. The latter is very convenient for sales or on-call employees. As a result of that security posture, we instead share tons of company secrets on a 3rd party service. It's kind of a weird local maxima.

I'd stick with PS if I were using it in a professional manner simly because it is the standard.

Affinity Photo is perfect for me because it does 95% of what I want, and it has really good .psd support so all those gigs of .psds that I have can still be used. It is the first photo app that I'm happy with instead of using PS.

Sure, it has some warts here and there, and it's not as fast a PS...but Adobe has quite a long lead on them. They've done an admirable job catching up as much as they have, and they are constantly developing it, too.

It has a 10-day trial which is a healthy chunk of time to get used to it. I've been using PS since version 5, and I felt comfortable with Affinity Photo after a few hours. I'm not a professional, nor am I a hardcore PS user, but I am very familiar with it. 0 regrets switching so far.

The Slack IRC bridge works pretty well, IMO. I use it with irssi. The only negative I can think of is it joins you to every Slack channel you're in every time you reconnect. (Including #general, which you can't permanently leave.)

(I guess the other caveat is: it's a 3rd party hosted application; an internet outage or service outage could take it down, and it's potentially vulnerable to massive information leak in a way that your company isn't.)

This was in response to a post worrying about the people who are impacted by this rule going to other countries and the US therefore missing out. It's pretty well known that a significant part of H-1 visas are used by companies like Infosys to get in cheap developers. If these people are not able to get a 90k offer in the US they are probably not worth much which matches my personal observation.

There are plenty of very good people who can't get an H-1 because the quota is used for cheap people. I came here on an H-1 myself and it was quite difficult because the quota got used by bodyshops. My life would have been easier if they had set a minimum salary.

Racism is defined academically as 'privilege + power,' so if you say "I am an Indian and will only hire Indians," that has historically been just fine. This definition is interpreted as "you need to be White to be racist."

Diversity is mostly just defined as "not White," so majority Indian, Black, etc. companies, are "diverse," they exist, and no one goes after them.

This is why you have those majority-xyz-race companies, but Apple's chief of diversity was fired for saying Whites can also be diverse if they come from diverse backgrounds.
I wonder why they don't do it. In the tool I had running, we handled this by removing any transpose of a symmetric matrix (after propagating it before the leaves). Together with the simplification rule x + x -> 2*x for any x, you get the expected result. I could only guess why they didn't include it in the online matrix calculus tool. It was published after I left the group.

I meant it doesn't make a big difference in the outgoings of the company. Not sure I agree with what you're saying. But I honestly also don't think (early stage) investors should even be paying the salaries of the founding team.

The reason most people raise early stage finance is to reduce their personal risk, and push that onto the investor. Which is fine if both parties understand the deal they're getting (risk reduction for potential massive upside).

But since this is mostly done to take risk away (during the riskiest phase of the company), I also believe you should equal the salaries. With equal equity stakes, one party shouldn't be taking more risk than the other by foregoing salary.
>According to Minister of Defense Agustin Rossi, the MLU cost some 100 million Argentine Pesos (12.4 million dollars) and comprised more than 500,000 work hours in which the boat was cut in half and had its four MTU engines and batteries replaced. The MLU was under way at CINAR since August 2007. He blamed the delay on the lack of funds and qualified labor.

My impression was this was basically not true, that it is very difficult for an H1-B Visa holder to leave their sponsoring employer. According to Wikipedia, "If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker must either apply for and be granted a change of status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or leave the United States."
> Wonder why they don't already take advantage of all this "cheap and good labor" out there, as you put it?

what makes you think they aren't? I work for Red Hat. It is an amazing company to work for. But our main technology center is in the Czech Republic, where the cost of living is 40% lower than the US. Those are absolutely great engineers to work with, and despite some of the alarming comments here they are absolutely as high quality as any US engineer if not more so. But the fact remains that their salaries are spent overseas and not here in the US.

This is why the point of free trade is to raise the standard of living in those nations so that not only does life get better for everyone around the world, but also other nations no longer act as a cheap drain for jobs that pay artificially higher wages domestically. It's a huge idea that has worked in many ways, raising US GDP vastly beyond what it could be under heavy protectionism (think: the whole world as your customer base as well as your production base vs. just the US). But it also failed spectacularly in that it isolated low skilled workers in the US who became even more resentful of foreigners than they already were, who then went ahead and elected a facist government. Whoops.
In spite of those restrictions, not thanks to them.

All the richest countries we have today have been among the list of richest since before and after great changes in their protectionist policies.
I didn't quite understand why you are against net neutrality.
If anything, the US was very indulging with companies like Infosys, that were found deliberately cheating in their applications (e.g: submitting the same applicant multiple times).

Then, some Infosys employees report that they do not receive the minimum H-1B salary in practice, and that they're forced to give their tax return money back to their employer. I do not know if these reports are true, but I think they should be aggressively audited.

To that you need to add that the Infosys business culture, as reported by their own employees, is not the kind of business culture you want to assimilate.

Then, if there are more applicants than spots, naturally the US could rank them and pick the best.
