> In practice, though, H1-B becomes indentured servitude, since they cannot freely move between companies.

You can change company while on the H1B. Yes, there is some paperwork, but in practice, everyone who is in the USA on the H1B can easily change the company pretty quickly at any point in time without leaving the country.

Funilly, as Trumpists keep attacking the H1B, people who didn't get the H1B switch to the L1 and THAT doesn't let you move between companies.

This comment makes it seems like it's a foregone conclusion your business will be a success.

Yet, the odds of success are _very_ small... If you have a co-founder... or if you don't have a co-founder.

In other words, it will probably be nothing to do with your co-founder that you end up on the street!

And, while I'm on that subject. DON'T leave your day job when you start your side project. Just keep your day job until you're making enough money with your side project before you leave!

As a side note I was really disappointed in Blade Runner 2049. The script seems to lack completely that dark feeling of confusion and uncertainty of the original movie. Actually, a lot in it seems to be built around rigid dichotomies: humans and replicants, good and evil, physical and virtual. While in the original replicants were heralds of a new synthetic reality replacing the current one (and the final doubt about the nature of Deckard showed that it was already impossible to tell the one from the other), in the sequel all is reduced to a fight between opposing factions, as if the problem was "who is gonna win in the end?".
Making drinks from lab grade ethanol seems to be an popular past-time activity for almost any vaguely natural science Ph.D. student I ever known. Usually it also involves fractional destilation of lab grade denatured ethanol (often "specially denatured ethanol" which is somewhat simpler to "dedenaturate") into potable ethanol. It is somewhat notable that physics people tend to end up with simple physical processes for that (pour ethanol on baking tray and bake in baking oven for X amount of time, light it on fire, if flame is not visible you have potable ethanol) while people coming from chemical sciences tend to build incredible complex contraptions from lab glassware (I've seen such contraption which converted normal denatured alcohol into gin or jaegemester-like liquor depending on its software configuration as a continuous process, it was built by obviously bored pharmaceutics Ph.D. students, filled two lab benches and involved two Sun Ultra 5s for computer control)
The headline is further misleading by saying "foreign citizens" when the study was talking about workers who were "foreign born." A U.S. citizen who was born abroad is not foreign.
You may also be missing the fact that VCs need big exits to be successful. It's very possible that the 2 businesses that are successful just didn't have the percieved potential to be unicorns. I keep hearing rumor that the term 'lifestyle business' has started to take on a pajoritive tone in certain circles, and I suspect it has a lot to do with how little interest the owner has is big growth. I personally would probably never try to get VC funding since my goal in business is always to not work, and big growth requires way more effort than it's worth.
You can also use Everclear for industrial purposes, e.g. diluting wood finishes, as a less toxic alternative to denatured alcohol.

I live in a state where you can buy denatured alcohol full of legally-mandated poison at hardware stores, but you can't get 190-proof Everclear anywhere. It's an odd screwed-up situation when you are only allowed to sell high-proof alcohol if you poison it first. I suspect the health damage done by the fumes over the years far outweighs the public health benefits of restricting the strength of drinkable alchohol, and the health damage falls disproportionately on people using the alcohol for non-recreational purposes.

Upvoting you because this was a long read.

My summary - There are a lot of twitter users with fake followers. This company, Devumi, behind selling fake followers claims they're not really fake because they buy the followers on an influencer marketplace so they're "real" to the buyer (obviously seems questionable). Some people have their social identities stolen which are in turn used to create these fake profiles. Lots of celebrities, athletes, and other famous people have bought fake followers — some directly, others through marketing agencies, and others possibly completely without their knowledge. Most people that the NYT called out denied having knowledge of the purchase of fake followers or blamed a rogue employee. The bots interact in rings with each other so their activity patterns are detectable with analysis. Twitter is not necessarily incentivized to solve the problem because there are probably some bots it has not detected and considers real active users. The founder of the company lists a fake address as residence and fake university degrees as credentials.

It is a long read, but the article has several interactive features that keep it interesting.

If you want to learn more about Cloud Shell, the marketing page is here: https://cloud.google.com/shell/

Cloud Shell is one of my favorite things about GCP. A lot of dev tools (Docker, Python/Go/Node/Ruby/Java/.Net, etc) are pre-installed, you can test "localhost" servers with the preview feature, there is a built in file editor (based on the open source Orion project), etc. And it's all free!

This link will directly open the shell in a full page, and I'm not sure it will work unless you have set up your GCP account before. It's really not designed to be opened this way, I recommend opening it from the GCP console and then making it full screen if your want.

Also note: Cloud Shell gives you a persistent 5GB /home Directory, but every other folder is reset after a while. If you want to add your own binaries, I'd recommend adding home to your path and installing them there.

It's fairly simple to show that trading in concert tickets is Kaldor-Hicks improving given reasonable assumptions. I've made the argument in the past.

In this situation, it's arbitrage across time, and provides a benefit to customers buying later. It's meeting demand, which is good.

It's only a tiny minority of my business, because it's a lot easier to buy in bulk from wholesale in many cases.

I have talked to people that do millions just using this model, there's nothing wrong with it. Generally when Amazon has a sale they strictly limit how many you can buy to 3 or 27 or something, so it's not like you're buying out the market - just taking savings from when it's on sale and meeting demand at a different time.

IMO finding a market that is rapid growing is the most difficult part. It seems that I can never find a good idea worth pursuing.
>Can you give concrete examples of legislation that "encouraged disintegration of the family units"?

Absolutely. I am not going to link to any analysis right now, but take a look at the requirements placed on familiy units for welfare consumption, WIC, etc. In order to obtain the optimal amount of benefit, the family unit must already be in a disintegrated state, eg non-married, non-cohabitating, with offspring present. This encourages an anti-marriage, anti-stable family pattern.

>The canonical American nuclear family unit doesn't even include multi-generational housing.

This is where you will need to link me to concrete proof of anything having to do with the 'canonical American nuclear family'. This appears to be a statement that is clearly subjective from family to family.
Firefox's market share has not increased recently. According to the data I can find, it is slightly down over the past several months. Chrome is still just over 60% on both desktop and mobile.

So, why would Google be worried about Firefox? If anything, they would be worried about Safari, which is the primary mobile competitor to Chrome and is being marketed on the desktop as having increased performance and strong privacy features.

I don't agree they've missed the opportunity. Both Brave and Firefox have made the point that their built-in tracking protection can improve the user experience by cutting page load times in half:

> Haiti, the second republic in the Americas, elected people who had been slaves.

Haitians gained their freedom and formed their republic by genociding all the white colonialists - men, women, and children - and forming their own society.

The US had slaves, and then an internal reform (including a Civil War to put down a rebellion) freed them. The same society that once enslaved people later elected them. Ironically, the genocide of the Haitian Revolution was a justification by the pro-slavery elements who feared the same thing would happen as in Haiti.

> In practice, though, H1-B becomes indentured servitude, since they cannot freely move between companies.

This hasn't been true for at least 10 years (maybe more). It is entirely possible to change jobs on an H-1B. The new company needs to file a new application (called a transfer) for you and premium process it, which adds 2-3 weeks to the process of a job change. Cumbersome? Yes. Indentured servitude? Only if your skills are useful to your company alone.

As of January 2017, H-1B workers are also officially allowed one 60-day period of unemployment, so it's also not true we live in terror of losing our jobs lest we have to pack up and ship out the very next day.

I'm not denying the system could be better still e.g. don't require a new application every time you change your job, unless it's a completely different type of job or less salary, eliminate per-country quotas for green cards because of which hundreds of thousands of Indians and Chinese stick around on H-1Bs for years, allow 60-day periods of unemployment after any job longer than 6 months, or a lifetime 180-day limit. But it is frustrating to hear the amount of misinformation that flies around - the comments section of that article is a cesspool of misunderstanding and fear-mongering.

Nuking Japan was a highly experimental move to find out what would happen if the US deployed it's newest weapon in a war. The results were so horrific that it has only been done twice in a war setting.

That seems to be comparable to the death star. New superweapon intended to maintain order; deployed against the nearest target. Similar to what happened in Japan, the death star would also have prevented tens of millions of meaningless deaths had it not been blown up by a group who would probably be labeled terrorists if we didn't have front-row seats into their motivations and ideologies.

The ideas in the post as well as the comments are a mixed bag. Case in point, we hear a lot that people say they wish they had lived more in the now, or relaxed more instead of working all the time, or given more time to family.

Well, in my opinion, for every such person there are probably hundreds who actually do that and as a result get nowhere in their careers. Family, especially an SO, to an extent looks up to you based on your success, typically, and more importantly, counts on your (e.g., financial) success. If you lived in the now and didn't succeed career-wise or financially, your SO probably would've left you long time ago, and you wouldn't have a family to begin with.

We don't hear from those people because they're "nobodys". We like to interview successful people, who get there through workaholism more or less, and we ask them what are their regrets and they tell us they wish they hadn't worked so hard. What they're really trying to say is that they could settle for a bit less success. But there's no guarantee they would've had minimum desired success if they didn't work as hard to begin with. Such successful people are simply telling you about their desire for some ideal/fantasy world, that doesn't exist, where they spent more time with family, lived more in the now, and still achieved the minimum desirable level of success ('minimum desirable' according to their own personal/subjective standards, which is probably not less than 80-90% of their actual success, e.g., someone with $400m net worth would think he could settle for $300m and be able to spend more time with family etc, but that's not how it works).

If someone interviewed any of those "nobodys" probably many of them would say they're happy with how their life went. But you, the reader of such regret lessons, have to ask yourself what do you want to do with your life. And based on that, your have to "pick" the regret-lessons that apply to you.

> before they sack Jericho Joshua sees an angel and asks which side he is on, and the angel replies, “neither” (Joshua 5).

I read this not as a contradiction to the good/evil narrative, because the conversation continues on chapter 6 and the Lord told Joshua he had given Jericho into his hands.
So when Joshua asked the commander of the Lord's armies if he was there for them or their adversaries, and he said neither, it reads like he was there as an emissary with a message (or purposefully a dual purpose). I believe Joshua's first question was actually "are you here to kill us or them?", The commanders response seems to make more sense when continuing to chapter 6.

As far as the concept of the Universal and our turning from it, theres an interesting theory called the Strauss-Howe generational theory [0].
Basically it divides history into 4 phases that are each around 80 years, and each part of the cycle springs from the previous generation. It's worth looking into :)

Also in regards to needing an ideological bind in absence of familial ones, I think it's been common throughout history about placing ideology above all others (for instance, when a man sleeps with his brother's wife, that ideology outweighs family loyalty).

I still have to disagree with the author on this one, as the trope she's discussing is an ancient one that's based on dualism, going back to the ancient Chinese.

A worthy collection. Theodor "Ted" Nelson's ideas have played a significant role in shaping the course of computing and thought. His self-published books (Computer Lib and Literary Machines) are still goldmines of information and understanding. His papers, some of which appear in this collection, show a deep understanding of computation that, even today, seems revolutionary.

The World Wide Web is an imperfect implementation of his conceptual model of a world in which information is completely intertwingled. His concept of transcopyright provide a workable solution to the question of who owns what in a digital world. And he is the man who invented the hyperlink.

The same with VPC subnets, you actually have your own network with k8s. Some can peer via BGP, like kube-router (as far as I know) and calico (which I use).
So basically k8s is a little bit different than the concepts of aws.
