Thank you so much for writing about your experiences.
Cap minimum pay to the equivalent of $150k yearly and watch as the h1b visa program magically starts working as intended.

The solution is not complicated. With the anti-immigrant rhetoric pouring from the current administration, I'm surprised that blatant h1b visa abuse is still rampant.
Besides the murder, the police might also be interested in finding the illegal slaughterhouses or beef sellers.

Is following the law mental gymnastics? Should I curse the police for following procedures and investigating crimes, even if I disagree with them?

What if police decided that it was spread too thin, and did not stop me being lynched?

which Americans are you putting first though, the workers, the customers, or the owners?
Does anyone know of recent instances of such false advertisements in the US? Or are there severe enough punishments to deter them?
I never even applied, but I urged a buddy to and he come to me basically jumping joy that he was accepted, and I've been frantically pinging him on Slack to make sure he didn't get the oopsie error email and that he was really accepted.

I feel for you all. :/
Well crap that does seem to solve the problems I mentioned. I don't think that could be set up on Augur, but it could be implemented as a new contract.
I wonder how requiring login to download helps a company in general? Docker says "improve experience for users" but is collecting download counts for each accounts important?
Great to hear! Another suggestion is to provide some kind of setup guide or easy way to spin up a remote server. Just created an issue for that. I've spent the last hour trying to get up to speed with this and haven't yet got it set up.

As you bring this project to maturity, if you're interested in the education context, you'll want to optimize for setup time. Educators and techs that help them are hugely time constrained in a school setting so the quicker they can get a lesson running the better. If setup takes considerable time (5-10min?) or domain expertise, it's a nonstarter.
If your goal is to just use containers, you don't need Docker. You can use containerd, lxc, nspawn, or use clone directly. Docker is an extremely bloated piece of software, and you can probably get by with just a little knowledge of Linux APIs and a solid understanding of your project's requirements.
It's harder for them to switch jobs, and depending on where they are in the process of applying for a green card, they may have to restart if they do switch.

That kind of "loyalty" is easily worth 20k-30k for a lot of companies.
Ultimately that's a driver issue. GPUs have had the equivalent of an IOMMU for almost two decades; longer than virtualization has existed in commodity hardware. But the heavily closed nature of the hardware, and it not really being a priority for the GPU vendors has led to it not getting the love it needs in that regard. You don't need to add vGPUs to get there.

I think that's the part the EFF is concerned about. At least the CFAA part.

The EFF also discussed the DMCA, but I'm not familiar with any cases of security researchers prosecuted under that law.
The Oracle acquisition must be nigh... emulate the master to gain his approval you must!
It's not clear how much of that is penalties and how much was the original amount unknowingly owed. The CEO didn't really cost the company the original amount, he just was unaware of it (and may have made different choices if aware)
Honestly, I'm pretty graceful even though I didn't get in the advisor track, but accepted of audit track. What's really matter is that we can all get something from the free course while others can't.

Law enforcement officials could, until recent iOS updates, unlock iPhones by brute-forcing passcodes with a device attached to the Lightning port. The phone was likely not updated to the latest iOS builds. So wouldn't Apple be able to do the same?
Creating a Utopia for Mice
Lead generation.
I usually did the minimum required of me. While I did challenge myself and learn new things, I stuck to the easy stuff. I worked the minimum amount of time every week and shied away from taking on voluntary projects which would have made my usefulness to my employer more obvious. I got my job done in 20-30 hours, billed for 40, and went home(shitty, I know).

When times got tough for my client(after nearly 6 years) I was eventually replaced with a WiPro guy.

I could have learned C++14, but instead I stuck with what I knew. I could have learned algorithms, but I stuck with the driver/systems/embedded stuff I knew. I could have learned the security frameworks and been really valuable right now.

The last 2 years have been a time of furious catching up. I'm now being courted by FANG companies and hoping I can make the cut(I need to bump my salary to afford alimony... long story).
oh - that's cool, didn't know that :) Our's is based on the Canadian Air force CC-106 Yukon.
The vertical mounting of the CRT is interesting. Any idea what that decision was made? These things obviously would not have a lot of high motion to display/refresh, but it's such an unnatural feeling thing to do, at least to a video enginer's way of thinking.
On demand moving instead of dealing with moving companies
What do you think about ondemand uber for moving apps like dolly, phlatbed, buddytruk? Looks like the moving industry is ripe for disruption?
Food commercials are purely aesthetic. They are not really attesting to that the food you get will look or taste good. Logically, how could they? That being said, it's apparently a myth that food commercials don't use real food. But does it matter, given that your Whopper won't look exactly like the one in the ad regardless?

It is a lot different if you outright claim your smartphone took photos it did not. That is more like saying that your new car can get 35 MPG when it couldn't under any circumstances.

People would probably find it a lot easier to be outraged if Apple faked an iPhone camera shot, which probably says more about people than it does about companies.
Many are. Frank Lloyd Wright was an American designer who embraced beauty. There have been many others.

American architecture is certainly not the center of brutalism.

I have no idea what you are alluding to. Can you name a city you would consider aesthetically bankrupt so I can understand what you’re refer maxing?
Where the analogy breaks down is the level of difficulty --- even the strongest safe in the world is crackable given enough resources, and we know how to do it very well. Good encryption is impossible to break within the lifetime of the known universe.

I say this as someone who has sadly had to explain to others a few times, that recovering encrypted files is nothing as easy as "busting it open" in the physical world.

This is incidentally why governments are scared of encryption, but IMHO users should be too --- it is very, very strong technology. Encrypting data with a suitably secure algorithm and losing the key means it is truly gone forever. You have to weigh that risk against the risk of someone else getting access to the data.
I find it interesting how badly this has affected some people. It seems that a large majority are upset from gloating about it in on their "networks". Perhaps this is a lesson that you shouldn't need to rely on YC to succeed.
One other reason to care: If using TLS 1.3, having an operation be indempotent increases the chances that the client could safely use 0-RTT for that specific operation.
If anyone still uses centralized version control where only one person can check out a given file at a time, that's the epitome of programmer congestion.
Organic != pollutes less. For example, some organic farms use more than an order of magnitude more (~20x) organic pesticides than regular farms use regular pesticides (by weight). Many of these organic pesticides have the potential for serious health risks. One organic pesticide, Rotenone, which was banned in the US in 2005 but reapproved in 2010, causes "Parkinson's Disease-like symptoms in rats, and has the potential to kill many species, including humans." [0]

Organic farming also often requires more resources (land, water, etc.). The ecological damage of that extra resource use (soil erosion, water diversion) could far surpass any pollutants non-organic farms spew. [0]

I don't know anything about cotton specifically, though.

If you go to docker.com, click "get started", click "docker for mac", it sends you to exactly that URL.

Sure, maybe there are side links they haven't changed, but this is a pretty clear login-wall.
The sensor and lens of phones are good enough today to look exactly like the picture in the video (besides the shallow DoF that is only possible with large lenses). The quality is primarily in the skill of lighting the room (in this case with $1000 of softboxes), and secondarily how the image is developed from RAW and retouched.

On-Premises HipChat Replacements
It’s not a free market when non-resident workers are indentured to a specific employer. Since they can’t easily job-shop, they are necessarily going to make a lower wage than if they had the ability to switch jobs. It isn’t the free market of the free movement of labor is artificially constrained by visa rules. Let’s not confuse this with the free market. It isn’t.
There is something called fund expenses. A GP can allocate part of the fund to pay towards expenses they deem to be fund expenses. For example, the audit would be classified as a fund expense. Most funds have an outside administration company that handles the money and approves/rejects these decisions.
There is no need for an artificial cap, just make it a bidding system. The companies bid for how many workers at salary $X. Highest bids are awarded the visas. Problem solved.
I once wrote a Jenkins job that created a sub directory every time it ran, if it didn’t exist and somehow managed to write it so every time it ran it went another layer deep, adding another nested subdirectory each time and it was set to reuse the same workspace. After a few months, all the jobs on the server started failing because the worker node ran out of inodes. And that was my introduction to idempotence.
>um is a brilliant name.

Literally so, if you consider that "ум" in Russian means "mind / intelligence", and "um" is the transliteration of that into Latin alphabet, making it a bilingual pun.

"Just use your Um!"
There's a range of cannabinoids with varying effects; I believe this is something that's studied, acknowledged, but still not completely understood. THC is just the main one. The variations explain the differences between strains, "pure" Indica having higher concentration of THC, but lower diversity of cannabinoids. In reality everything is a blend.

This is in contrast to alcohol, which is straight ethanol, all the time. There's no difference in the active ingredients in alcohols. Anybody that claims a different high, based on beer, whiskey, ect., is only referring to environment and aesthetic influences, which do matter (also, hangovers may vary, due to ingredients used). There's bullshit in the industry, specifically w/CBD and medical claims, but I think it goes well beyond sommelier's talk.

Marijuana is not an easy to understand and classify, unlike other drugs, like alcohol. I think it's been pretty well established that there are significant differences between strains, though I suppose you're right, I've never seen a specific study.
Similar to this on reddit is the Subreddit Simulator[0].

The subreddit is populated entirely by bots that make posts based on Markov chains, each one trained from the posts on a specific other subreddit. The bots even post comments based on the comments from their assigned subreddit. Some of the results are hilarious.

Hey Proofread, if you decide to audit the course and want to do remote hangouts to discuss, my (also accepted then rejected) cofounder and I will be following along and would love the company!

I applaud your honesty about how things like this can really lift you up and knock you down. Hang in there, we're with you.
Yeah, though cigarettes are actually biologically addictive... probably not the best comparison point against plastics.

those can't be used for crypto mining, otherwise, you will find out that they aren't worth the money.

An idea I had a while back was to set up bets on breakthrough technologies, where you can fund X-Prizes by betting against them. The original X-Prize essentially did this by buying insurance against a payoff, which allowed them to significantly increase the prize amount; my idea was basically to crowdsource the insurance side of that.

If you are too much of a douche to give a thowaway account for docker service, then they dont want you anyway.

Your kind are not savvy, your kind are just douches that would shit on their own gma for a dollar.
You're right, and the technical distinction is warranted, but the definition you give is still not equivalent to that of being mathematically idempotent, since the domain and range of f are not isomorphic.
Their brains were too large, and they died?

Do you get much mileage out of RAW photos coming from phones? I haven't had much luck with them.
I'm asian-american myself and I was interviewed by other asians who I had trouble understanding despite being brought up around my own family's accent. I wasn't using "american" to represent race or citizenship.

I didn't see think of them as american because we clearly did not share anything in common and had trouble communicating with each other.

Side note: My grandmother is a US citizen, but she only knows how to say "Hello" and "thank you" in english. Bringing in citizenship feels disingenuous.

EDIT: Citizenship comment is regarding this conversation and not the article itself. Sorry if it seemed like an attack.
You'd present that as `ProgressReporting` or something, because other tasks besides a download would want to report their progress too, and indeed, the Foundation framework already has such a protocol [0]!

In your first comment you seem to value the ability to "quickly digest key object interfaces and concepts" but you balk at the added clarity afforded by separating different behaviors into distinct protocols?

If by "overhead" you mean a cost to performance, worrying about it at that level falls under premature optimization, until you're certain that the extra protocol noticeably harms performance.

If you really insist on having a single protocol, then make `progress` an optional computed property.

They need to do something to make it right, they impacted relationships and businesses in a real way. They have the power to make it right in some way, it's a morale test to see if they will. I emailed them.
They will send you spam every two weeks reminding you of the goodness of Docker.
Got the rejected email then was accepted. https://www.startupschool.org/courses/2 doesn't seem to fully confirm I am in - just says:

Thank you for applying to Startup School!
The course will start on August 28th, 2018

Share with fellow entrepreneurial friends.

Course videos will be available soon after filming has ended. In the meantime, you can check our library of Startup Material.

If you're frustrated with Docker's slow pace of development are are looking for a good alternative, have a look at Singularity containers. They're interoperable with Docker Hub and OCI compatible images, and offer a much better experience for HPC, machine learning and big data environments. Their GPU support is top notch. They don't run on as many platforms as Docker, but are aiming to grow into cross-platform. Sylabs is a small team in Austin, TX that does a lot of the development work, but they are quickly gaining adoption in academia. It's available on Cedar and Graham in Compute Canada (a large supercomputing cluster that serves most of Canada). We use Singularity on all our lab machines as it is much easier for IT admins to manage, and doesn't require sudo access. Their GPU support is top notch.

It's in Docker's interest to capture as much value as they can from their products, their calculus is changing. It's their decision to make, however passing it off as in the best interest of users is a bit of a whopper and not the best way to communicate it. I don't think entitlement to other people's work is the best response though.
When I heard they bought github, my first thought was that I hope they enable this on github pages. Dynamic github pages would be amazing and it would attract a lot of new developers to Razor Pages.
An Atlanta train could then easily connect to Nashville, too.
I think anyone who signed up in time were put on the audit track if not accepted into the advisor track. I don't believe it has any community feedback which is what I really wanted. I spun up a facebook group for this reason.

Just learned this recently as well. I live in Korea where I learned they were shipping waste to China. Recently, I believe China shut this off and we've been made much more conscious about our waste in Korea within the past year.
VS isn't going to be dropped any time soon, there are so many features and plugins for it that it would be a massive job to replace it.

They have moved more and more features to run into separate child processes to prevent the memory use requirements for the main VS process. VS 2017 uses a lot more memory than 2013 (the previous one I used). My 8GB machine gets slowdowns every now and due to SQL Server getting swapped out.
'Encrypted, but _they_ have the keys' means 'not encrypted'
Pretty sure that violates GDPR. Might want to email them about that.
If they are actually “brilliant.” Some Windows sysadmin a year out of school working for Infosys is typically not your future Google founder. If they are actually brilliant, there are visas for that and it isn’t H1-B.
Probably the slightly better term here would be "weasel words". (Or better yet, "bullshit")
The point of this article is citizenship. I was just trying to understand the point you were making, and thank you for being clear.
Thank you, i'm all excited about the journey now!!
It won't go to a jury, but if it did I guarantee no one with a HN account will be on it.
I'm still shocked nobody has figured out how to turnkey self hosting. I mean I understand how complicated it is, given the range of options, but it seems like it's tractable.

Maybe if AWS/Azure etc... had some kind of sign up API that would make it possible.
Thanks for asking this question, I'd like to learn about this too.
" I never understand why locals should get preferential treatment. Companies do business, not philanthropy."

Citizens have absolutely no interest in enabling and empowering corporations unless they serve the community in some way.

Ergo, if corps serve only the benefit of shareholders and not really consumers or anyone else ... and the population derives no benefit ... then those people would vote to disable the very concept of incorporation, after all, why do they want these things around?

Clearly a case can be made for hiring some foreigners.

And more apt - if Cisco can benefit a lot from hiring people from India, it may be better for everyone if they are actually hired and working in India proper.

It's very reasonable for companies to consider locals for jobs 'all things being equal' ... even though they never are :)
Sounds good, I will reach back out to you. Thanks!
The whole concept of "top talent" is a myth.

That being said, it's apparently a myth that food commercials don't use real food. But does it matter, given that your Whopper won't look exactly like the one in the ad regardless?

supposedly they have to use the same ingredients that make up the food. yes, they can still use all sorts of camera tricks and practical effects to get it look better than it is, but at least it puts an upper bound of how much bullshitry they can create.
Would it kill companies to be honest and upfront about these sorts of issues? I feel like "Hey, we're unable to pay our bills unless we can better monetize our product" comes across a lot more honest and trust-worthy than this "We're improving user experience! Trust us!" pride-and-accomplishment nonsense that everyone keeps regurgitating. We're not preschoolers, the Internet can spot marketing slogans a mile away.
The last time I remember something like this happening was from 2012[1].

This may work for tech, but I'm guessing there are quite a few other industries with low volumes of h1b applicants/workers which could utilize a "bidding system" to hire well below market rate due to decreased demand when compared to tech.

$150k cap across the board ensures that all industries are kept honest. A bidding system can be added on top of that, if needed, but this extremely simple fix would ensure that the system fulfills the original goals it was created for, while adding no bureaucratic overhead.
We feel awful about this and we're working on a solution. We'll have more to share in the next 24 hours, hopefully sooner.

Edit: ok, here's what we've got: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17806459.
Wonder if TSA/CBP has to submit to one of these searches themselves before they're allowed to perform one? Kind of like with Tasers or tear gas.
I'm curious to see what happens if a company like Huawei enters the US networking hardware market after cutting its teeth. Are we supposed to go with Cisco out of patriotism? Is the general public going to petition the government for protectionism?

I also wonder how long it takes wage suppression to propagate out into lower demand and shrinking GDP growth.
