I don't mind people being slow if they're aware of their surroundings and provide affordances for faster people to get around them. The slow people I do mind (walkers, drivers, etc) are the ones that are in my way, and who could easily move out of my way, but don't.
> written by government for the benefit of its citizens

But why, or perhaps more importantly, why should this be the case? Why should citizenship (which is itself an arbitrary legal distinction made by the government) mean a person is more deserving of anything than non-citizen residents? It's not like naturalized citizens did anything to earn their citizenship.
So just being on H1B is bad now?
It's not even good spin. How, precisely, does it help improve the user experience?
The OP likely is talking about tech because it's what he knows. But generally, as a Canadian who has hired immigration lawyers and knows the US immigration process well, you are never getting into the US to "mow lawns, pick produce, and clean bathrooms"... almost all the long term Visas require an advanced degree (4yrs of university) or equivalent in experience in an industry in high demand (doctors, engineers, etc).

You may be mistaking illegal immigration with legal.
The more hilarious part is the reaction from here.

2. No, it doesn't. No such thing as "the West". I live in a European country. We never made any such claim. "Manifest destiny" is specifically American. The expression itself is nonsensical in other languages.

3. No, they haven't. Obviously, male and female roles have been socially differentiated over history, but that derived from biology. The impact of biology has been lessened with industrialization, naturally leading to new opportunities for women.
They shouldn't be collecting the surveillance data in the first place. It's an abuse of our freedom.

I really don't know why they bother uttering or writing those kinds of words. They contain no information, nobody is fooled by the lie. It is a waste of their time.
But what I am talking about is not just nation-sized group, but any social group.

You can think of religions as an example, and as an attempt to solve these problems, with all the problems that entails, of course.

What makes you convinced, if not the infinity of time, that conflict is inevitable? To me it is clear that as species due to our cultural development and understanding (which our societies represent) has increased dramatically over the last few thousand years. Similarly, our conception of our own social group (the "us") has grown dramatically, to the point that we today may identify ourselves as parts of multiple, independent social groups. Unlike not long ago, these groups need not be local, they can span countries or continents.

Because technological development leads to globalization of the species, our social groups start covering the whole planet.

If this development continues, is it not inevitable that we will at some point get de facto global entity which governs us i.e. world government? It would be the natural next step.

What would be the responsible social action to deal with global issues like global warming and to return to sustainable resource use?

We can not, as species, decentralize our decision making to independent self-interested groups i.e. nations much longer. Our consumption of resources is neither sustainable nor responsible. What wisdom is it to leave a barren earth for our children to inherit?
So the most logical conclusion you arrived from just one observation is that H1B workers are paid less?
It is the lying we throw a fit about, mostly.
Personally though I would MUCH prefer to actually pay for things than to have free things "monetized".
The west benefits from a robust system for handling and landfilling waste. Our responsibility as far as the ocean is in modelling and exporting that culture to nations where the handling systems are not in place. I see this as similar to how the culture of smoking has been "exported" to places where there isn't nearly the same infrastructure present to limit access for kids, prevent second hand smoke exposure, and help people out who want to quit.

So yes, we may not be dumping our millions of daily plastic water bottles down the Mississippi like happens in the Ganges, but we could do a lot of good as a culture by intentionally modelling reusability and repair.
That’s not greed, that’s smart business. Why would you pay more for something if you didn’t have to? Is it greedy to take advantage of a sale on fruit at the grocery store rather than paying full price?

The problem is visa law, not companies following that law.

If a company values the skillset and knowledge of a potential immigrant at less than $150k yearly (~3 "highly specialized knowledge" employees at worst), they should utilize immigration channels not designed exclusively for poaching the top 0.1% from other countries TO FULFILL ROLES WHICH CANNOT BE FULFILLED BY US WORKERS DUE TO LACK OF SKILLED PERSON(s).

And I agree that $150k is probably on the low end for tech, but I wanted to name a conservative amount which takes into consideration pay across all industries. Whatever we do, we should __Start__ with that, and then further modify requirements/restrictions as deemed necessary.
It's "free" to drive in the sense that you don't have to take money out of your wallet to get into the driver seat of your car, yes. But that doesn't account for:

- The monthly payment on the car (if applicable)
- Liability / collision insurance
- Gas
- Tolls
- Parking
- Repairs
- Washes

With this in mind, public transportation is obviously way cheaper than driving – and exclusively using Uber may very well be in some cities, too.

But yes, I'd agree with you that many people don't seem to account for those hidden costs when justifying driving over taking public transit in a city that adequately supports it. Hopefully one day soon that will change.
My reading of the acceptance email is that it's 25 companies per advisor and that there's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 advisors, if last year's numbers are any indication. So anyone accepted at this point still only has around 4% chance of getting the $10k. But the advice and lectures should still be valuable for everyone who doesn't get the money.

I think it will be a tough sell to go after companies directly as an individual. Unless you are influential yourself, they will only take notice from an entity that dictates or shapes policy. It might be more beneficial to offer your services, perhaps pro-bono, to researchers like the ones cited in the article or to a non-profit with a similar mission. Your effort and hard work can be significantly higher levered with the right organization behind it.

Well, what I really want is to develop, test and utilize containers as part of my development process. For example, doing work in Docker containers allows reproducible, hermetic builds (importantly, it allows this, though it certainly doesn't guarantee or force it.)

Many containers that I develop or use will also be used in a Kubernetes cluster or at least as part of CD, so most importantly I want a local setup that mirrors to a degree what the remote setups look like.

Snaps provide something a bit different, more geared toward end users. I have no huge opinion regarding them, the isolation aspect is novel but unfortunately a bit of a PITA as of today.
The 70 series is traditionally pretty popular for gamers though. At $600, though, I mean... that's at the point where just the graphics card is more than one of the 4K consoles Microsoft or Sony is putting out.

There are a lot of immigrants in other fields are well.

Sales maybe not as the skill required for sales is very
hard to measure (maybe thats why).

Marketing: High level marketing executives are transfered to US regularly. Also I maybe wrong but they can come under
the artist visa if they are related to anything artistic
and don't need H1B.

Teaching: High school salaries are pathetic and high schools wont even apply for an H1B. A lot of professors in good universities are immigrants. A lot researchers in Top universities are also immigrants.

Law : The problem is that you have to do your law degree here to get entry into law, but I have seen a lot of immigrants doing that.

Not in your list but Medicine: A lot of people are in medicine as well even though they have to take an exam (? or something) to see if they are trained according to US standards.

Tech has most number of immigrants because large tech companies are headquartered in US, thats it.

For example, a lot of doctors go to UK, because demand and NIH.

I know a lot of mechanical and chemical engineers being
hired by Schlum (even though its technically not a US company).

Go to any US university and you will see a lot of immigrants in any technical fields training and have pretty good jobs lined up for them after graduation.

Always happy to nitpick :P

In terms of minimizing exploits, perhaps the easiest approach is to pre-compute a carbon score for all blocks and items, and then focus on catching all the situations where those blocks/items can be destroyed. By default, assume 100% of the carbon goes back into the biosphere, and then write special-case logic for stuff like boats breaking into wood.

A few more what-ifs:

* If players toss wood-bits into the deep sea to disappear (as opposed to letting them disappear on land) should that count as sequestering it? Or would that almost be too easy?

* I forgot about trades -- if a villager provides/accepts wood, perhaps it is best to assume it was just freshly grown or is about to be burnt.

* Other dimensions. What should happen if players make a gate into a room in the Nether and do all their smelting there? Alas, we don't have that option in real life :P

My DreamHost shared hosting WordPress is pretty turnkey. It's not the most user-friendly UI, but it really is as simple as "register domain" on one page, "install WordPress" on another, and then setup my admin account. After that, they keep the software up to date and email me to let me know when I need to click the link to upgrade the database (very infrequent).

I'd imagine there are hosts that are more turnkey than that (wordpress.com, likely).

I wonder if it's really the case that people just don't want to pay.
Because that is a race to the bottom for Americans. Americans enjoy a very high standard of living, and having to normalize your wage expectation with people from countries with significantly lower standards of living would destroy that. American companies operate according to American laws, and American laws should be setup in the interest of Americans, not as some charity for the world.

As to "deserve", American citizens also paid the taxes that supplied the infrastructure, education system, legal system, police, etc that allows these companies to grow. That aside, America is a sovereign country, and no one but its citizens has any right to expect it to act in their interest.

> an American company should support the livelihoods of the American people

And people who are living and working in America are American, they may just not be citizens. Citizenship is itself an arbitrary legal distinction made by the government. The vast majority of citizens received their citizenship by being born in the country rather than by any effort or merit on their part. So the claim becomes "an American company should support the livelihoods of people born within the borders of America," which I think is pretty clearly an arbitrary claim that needs a lot of explanation before I'll accept it as reasonable.

> It's just a natural tribal instinct, also, to care more for the welfare of your neighbor than someone across the world.

We're talking about work visas, which means those people move here and thus become your neighbors, so you'd have to extend that "natural tribal instinct" defense beyond place of residence.
AT&T Pixel Machines PXM 900 Series

http://bitsavers.org/pdf/att/pixel_machine/Pixel_Machine_Bro...

"The PXM 900 Series uses 32 bit floating-point processors exclusively. So floating-point-intensive algorithms -- like those used for image processing and ray-tracing -- can be implemented directly at the frame buffer level for real-time
processing."

http://www.realtimerendering.com/blog/ray-tracing-gems-book-...

"As far as “considered unattainable for decades” goes, interactive ray tracing has been attained long ago, just not for (non-trivial) video games or other interactive applications. My first encounter with an interactive ray tracer was AT&T’s Pixel Machine back in 1987. I had put out the Standard Procedural Databases on Usenet the week before SIGGRAPH, and was amazed to see that they had grabbed them and were rendering some in just a few seconds. But the real excitement was a little postage-stamp (well, maybe 6 stamps) sized rendering, where you could interactively use a mouse to control a shiny sphere’s position atop a Mandrill plane texture."

The only reason I remember that this hardware existed is that it was mentioned in the book I first learned C programming from.

How so? Because citizens can vote? Because citizens have some legal protections that don't apply to non-citizens? Doesn't that mean that non-citizens actually have more of a stake in the competence and behavior of the government because they have much more to lose from certain government actions?
Absolutely agree with this. They have software that accurately takes care of so many fine details and at such a reasonable per-employee price point that you would have to be nuts not to use one as a small company. In fact it makes me believe Bannon just didn't give it much thought.
Assuming you have a car (which is more or less necessary in most places you might live in this country), for any given trip it's very close to free to drive while the train is more expensive. And if you're thinking about parking and riding, between the higher cost of those tickets and the parking fee it's actually pretty expensive to do and driving all the way into the city is definitely cheaper.
