No, you should still have a very strong TN application, whether through the math or engineering occupation. I wouldn't worry. And it's the University of Waterloo! You're fine!
It seems like the simple solution is to detect when there is more than one address that a reply could go to, and if so, on clicking reply have a sub-meny that asks whether you want to reply to all or one person (and maybe list recipients with the Sender at the top).

You still get a single click to reply for single senders, but any ambiguity needs to be dealt with, but usually only with a quick additional click.

I routinely experience this where I want to reply all in my work Gmail, but the default is reply to sender, and I end up having to re-send the email a few seconds later so everyone sees it (if I'm lucky and notice. Otherwise other people just never see what I intended them too).
> he is more than qualified for "will contribute to a small portion of software that will be run by a large fraction of the planet's computers".

Maybe, but for that part he was in competition with people that were simply better to "contribute to a small portion of software that will be run by a large fraction of the planet's computers".
If anything, I prefer the opposite. I can't write or be creative when I'm not sober, even if I've had just a little alcohol and am in all other respects sober. But, reviewing your work when inebriated can help you see it as another person would. Flaws and successes both become far more obvious.

Obviously not something to rely on or to make a regular part of your life, but hey, it's definitely a thing.
Can anyone identify these early Apple employees?

You're acting as if "the general anti-China slant" isn't justified. The only reason China was tolerated so far is purely due to economic reasons, otherwise what China is today as a government shouldn't have been tolerated and, in facts, begs sanctions.

China has done far more egregious transgression to be sanctioned for than Russia, but business/economic interests seem to outweigh that sort of action against China.
Apologies but I'm a bit clueless on the ICO stuff. What's the immigration question/concern?
And more and more passing laws the expressly prevent you from concealment of your identity in a crowd.
There is absolutely a filesystem. Technically there's always been a filesystem, of course, but since iOS 11 there's been the Files app, which is effectively a file manager. That's arguably when the lack of "generic" USB drive access got substantially more annoying: the UX is basically right there at this point.
Wow. What a load of bullshit. They take every consumer level fear and exaggerate it to a ridiculous extent. "Problems that need to be addressed" is simply hand waving a fear flag. Likewise, in "Addressing bias and discrimination": if an implementation violates discrimination laws, it's use is already illegal. Additionally, "error rates" are expected: the whole idea is to "help identify", not be the absolute authority on identity. The technology is not designed for that. The "demand" for transparency and testing is already being supplied - the customers require such information, because they need to know to securely use the systems.

This article is so full of bullshit, it could only be written by a master manipulator. In "Protecting democratic freedoms and human rights" the prose is pointing out some practical issues, but glorifying them to fantasy fear levels.

Facial recognition is not an authoritative technology, never was, never will be. 90% of this article falls apart when it is pointed out that FR does not have authentication integrity, and anyone expecting such or trying to regulate it as such is talking nonsense.
I use Windows + WSL on a daily basis for web development. This is what I did about the Terminal Problem: I installed XMing (an X-Server for Windows). Then I configured WSL to use the the X-Server installed on the host. This way I can use any Linux terminal emulator (actually any Linux GUI Application) on my Windows machine. This works surprisingly well for how much of a hack this is. I've been using this set up with gnome-terminal on a daily basis for over a year now.

It'd still be great if there was a solid windows-native alternative.
That's a really interesting sort of survivor bias.
I went to the launch event in San Francisco where they had this (in cobalt blue) and another hypercar (R8 e-tron I think). What bugged me then and still bugs me now is how they are treating "electric", as in trying to add electric motors in the same Q5 chassis, including keeping some vestigial things around - like pedal shifters[2] that are still present in the pictures from article. When I asked about what purpose they serve, people running the event replied something along the lines of "they make the car go faster". Compared to amount of space you get in a Model X - a frunk and a massive trunk, there was rather limited space in this car.

I really wish Audi/Benz/BMW would treat electric cars more seriously, and not as PR projects like the i3 or e-Golf.

Radio Shack had an identity crisis for much of its history and going back to at least the 70s they were as much about selling mostly crappy audio, toys, etc. as they were about selling components. I suspect big box electronic retailers played as big a part in killing them as anything else. But there was also a period, during which Heathkits went away, when it became much more difficult to do interesting stuff as a casual electronics hobbyist at home.

Things like Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, 3D printers, Linux, etc. arguably made a new generation of hardware hacking possible but those came later.
Moving a city is not as simple as saying "any time a building wears out, rebuild it 100/500/1000 miles away, repeat until finished." At the very least, there's logistical issues and economic disruption at both ends. It may be possible in theory, but, again, extremely challenging and unfathomably expensive. And humanity has a well-established track record with anything that involves committing vast amounts of money now to save a bunch of people, mostly strangers, in a few decades.
That's why people don't even use a desktop environment.

Unless you have an ownership interest in the startup or are a founder, I don't see any risk with getting a TN through a startup and even changing TN companies every year.
Do a thing for yourself, not others, and most of the reasons not to do the thing seem to fade away. If I truly want to write another Scheme interpreter for fun I just do it now, instead of thinking "several thousand people have already done this, it's useless to do again."
What they can do or what they couldn't do?
Right? It's the only thing I'd hate about having a Tesla Model 3, if I could afford it, and it would be available in my country.

Scratch that, I'd also hate not having a HUD in front of me, it would more then make up for the lack of a dashboard IMO.

But yeah, a few basic controls for eg. for AC and oh.. a PHYSICAL BUTTON TO OPEN THE GLOVEBOX? :)
> A lot of engineers have the mentality of "engineering is hard, but design is just whatever some color matching and styling".

Just anecdata, but as an engineer I think engineering is easy and design is hard.

For engineering you just have to follow logic, reasoning, good practices and have discipline. Also you can test your code to death to make sure everything is correct.

For design you have to have an artistic nature.

> Yes, it is written systemd, not system D or System D, or even SystemD .... [You may also, optionally] call it (but never spell it!) System Five Hundred since D is the roman numeral for 500 (this also clarifies the relation to System V, right?).

The 'd' is a pun on both daemons typically being postfixed with 'd' and on the roman numeral for '500'. It does not directly stand for either though officially.

The way they think they can fight Amplification ddos attacks is a joke. They need to research more about how to beat layer 7 attacks before crying during the release version.
I wouldn't say "vague". He cited the differential in dollar amounts and drew a conclusion from the data presented. That sounds specific to me. I think you may have overreacted to his point. You should have debated the merits and demerits of welfare spending versus R&D investment. Instead you accused him of something he never advocated for.

You can, however simply power down the vm and then use vmotion to migrate across from intel to amd. Not "live" but pretty close to it when migrating to the new cpu cluster.
> The world is so saturated with absurdity that absurdity is the only place to grab hold.

That's why my blog is called something like "World's Absurd States" which sounds better in Turkish. But also I think nothing I write matters so I keep writing. I write about so many different subjects that people read the article they came for and they leave without checking other stuff. It's true that you have to find a nich and write only about that subject. I don't even think people have patience to read my long articles. But I write for myself.

My most popular post by far is a brief article about the relationship of nipples with litter size. Is there a relationship with nipple number and average litter size? I still cannot understand why so many people are curious about this topic. Everyday a few people drop by to read that article. Unfortunately, in wordpress.com I cannot see which search terms leads to my article.
I know I'm nowhere near the mainstream, but lack of tree tabs is the showstopper for me with Chrome.
It may be just text, but the points being made are technical, and the blog's author is an expert.

The author of the paper is now in a position where they feel like they have to defend themselves publicly, and I don't think this is the forum for a scientific defense (for the three reasons I listed above).
Really useful.

You've gotta consider how much things change as you get higher into the atmosphere. The obvious thing is that atmospheric oxygen begins to become insufficient to operate engines as you go higher up, so you need engines that use a different oxidizer than atmospheric oxygen which is extremely complex. And even the efficiency and characteristic of engine exhaust changes radically depending on atmospheric density and the characteristics of its exhaust. In other words an engine that works great at sea level might work awfully when you start to get to a fraction of the same pressure.

There's an immense amount of flexibility in being able to travel hypersonic. The SR-71 Blackbird is an amazing example of the potential. First flown back in 1964 (!!) it was capable of hitting around mach 3, some 2200 miles per hour. That's 6 hours to get from one side of the Earth to the other. It's really quite remarkable how much our overall transportation technology seems to have stagnated since the 60s. I'd like to imagine everything is just classified but everything from the SLS to the F-35 to even things like the Zumwalt just seems to indicate that we've simply technology regressed. Kind of disconcerting to imagine the reasons for that.
It will also change lanes for you if you signal, and wait for a safe opening if necessary.
I don’t think I could pay Audi prices for 185 miles of range.
Yeah - I generally touch files or create dirs in WSL first to get around it. Otherwise it is a cluster. If i could just use Linux @ work I'd be much happier.
Or you just decide you don't need to manufacture that thing after all. There are a lot of situations where "redesign so it doesn't need that version of the part" is cheaper than "build a US factory, train workers."
How can this be? So many times I read in the comments on HN, that the US isn't a great place for entrepreneurs because of health care or something.
I like Repl.it, but recently some of my files got mixed/lost. Be sure to backup. Would be cool if files were automatically mirrored to git.
Hi Peter,

I'm on a cap-exempt H1b visa working in cyber-security field. Within past year I had to let go of 3 job offers due to visa transfer not being possible to for-profit companies (and all offers were made after April, so lottery based H1b application wasn't a path I could take this year).

What would you recommend someone in my position should do if they want to switch job to a for-profit organization?
Just sign-in in Qura or add ?share=1 in the URL...
Seriously though. The issue is tying your self-worth to getting accepted be facebook, apple, google, etc.

A healthy person, when rejected from a company, realizes that the company did not need their skills at this time. This says nothing about the quality of their skillset, just that it's unneeded. Sort of how, if Linus Torvalds himself showed up to a frontend development interview, he probably wouldn't get the job.
This is MSFT saying "we can't compete here, and can't apparently buy the leaders, so we must legislate because We MSFT is not in control."
Yes, that's right, a job offer and support for a visa by the employer are required before the visa can be applied for. A checklist will depend on the individual's qualifications, country of citizenship, and the job offer so it's hard to give a general checklist.

And people wonder why the US is falling apart and technological advances have slowed down.

I don't think anyone wonders why it's happening. They just feel powerless to change anything.
> American railroads are slow, old, neglected, unsafe and need to be shared with passenger trains.

Other than need to be shared with passenger trains, where are you getting the rest? It is certainly not true of cargo trains. How fast do you need cargo to go?

That's not a good way to talk about these things. Usually it's the really small stuff that is very strongly interacting - see quarks.

The i3 is a totally new, designed from scratch electric car. How is that not taking electric cars seriously?
You actually don't have to confirm if the exit lane is split from your lane, which is pretty common. It will signal for you and get you into the appropriate lane.

If reaching your destination requires switching lanes into one that is not split from your own, you'll have to confirm it. But that may change in the upcoming weeks or months.
China is crazy. Check out the vlogger 'serpentza' and his sidekick 'laowhy86' on YouTube. After spending so many years working and living in the "real" China (different from Shanghai, Bejing etc) they have a unique perspective on China. Interestingly, they recently announced that they may be moving to the US and continuing from there.
Clearly China has done some iffy business transgressions (dumping, industrial espionage, etc.) though they've also provided plenty of bargain-priced manufacturing (I type this on a Mac made by Foxconn...). But there isn't any indication they've tampered with elections for example, so I think it's an overstatement to say they're "far more egregious" than Russia.
Thanks for "foot guns". Have never heard it but like it!
If there is a buyer, then there is a seller also.
Perhaps one of the more helpful / useful things I've read in the last few weeks.

My personal rule of thumb, which arcs over a number of the finer points, is:

"It's not what you say, it's what they hear."

So when it comes to humor, pronouns, self-deprecation, etc. you have to step back and crank up the empathy. Will they hear what you intended, or might you be misinterpreted / misunderstood?
Note that you can work part-time in H-1B status for a for-profit company while on a cap-exempt H-1B. But beyond this, without knowing your qualifications, I would look at the O-1 .
Look, we're looking at a price tag of around $10,000 for every household in California. Assuming the costs don't go up further, as they likely would. That's a lot of money for a connection between SF and LA, especially when airlines are simply not that bad.

Especially given the poor state of public transit in SF and LA, we can do much more useful stuff with the money. For example, we could build a proper transit network in SF: http://www.newmunimetro.com/m-market/
Tips for nervous presenters
> Despite me having years of leading product teams and enterprise applications, the fact that I need to "study" for an interview is asinine.

You no longer study? You stopped any form of education? I have an hard time believing that's actually true, but if it is, I guess you aren't a good fit for them either.

I read on new technologies constantly, I learn new languages constantly, I haven't gone to any formation yet (I just finished my software engineering degree) but I will certainly. Continous learning is nothing new.

They need someone able to adapt, which does means learn, and clearly in the case of Google, pretty quickly too. Studying to pass their interview process is no different than studying to apply X new principle.
In that case, the analogy to airplane autopilot is indeed inappropriate.

Airpline autopilot can have a standby human operator, with more than a second transition time.
Without knowing more, probably the E-2 and the O-1 are worth exploring.
I think that was covered in "- Yes, Firefox removed the feature that was essential to your workflow, even though most users don't care."
> I would rather pay more to Uber upfront and have them pay more to drivers than me paying extra on top.

Pretty optimistic of you to assume that "no option to tip" means "drivers are paid better up front."
Last I checked, in the US these were not allowed due to safety concerns (Tesla tried to remove the side mirrors from the Model 3 originally). There are potential benefits to the driver in the form of wider FOV, low-light boosting, hazard highlighting, etc. but these are pretty minor improvements over a properly configured mirror with a warning LED. The big benefits are really improved aerodynamics and reduced parking damage potential.
I think the idea was to let china do the dirty work of manufacturing and staying at that. That didn't work as we we can now see. And I'm blaming the west's confidence of conveniently outsourcing the production to China thinking they'll always be in control.

Credit repair
My credit was at 480. Hubby credit score was at 454. We were trying to move outta state but me and my husband didn’t pay our one way ticket off this rock because funds that we were looking forward to got taken and we were also not able to make it to our new home because our credit sucks to help us get there. We didn’t have money then so we needed a loan to fix the situation therefore we needed help fixing our credit. I found a trusted credit specialist on Trulia and Redit when I searched for credit help on Google. He cleared the negative items on our report and raised our scores to 790. We got the loan and we moved to our new home. Here is his contact; CREDITSPECIALIST4@GMAIL.COM, +1 912 388 3132, you can reach him and have him help you too.
Not every piece of discussion in science is formal and rigorous. Einstein didn't communicate his ideas exclusively through peer-reviewed papers. There is a time and place for informal talk, and this is it.

If I understand you right, the answer is "in the theoretical context"?

Hi Peter,

I was wondering can you go to school (PhD program but taking part time credits) while on a H1B ?
They have to choose one of the two, publish their decision, and act accordingly.

Honestly the real problem is that they pose as a raw communications medium while they are definitely not one. Facebook has political, cultural and financial interests according to which they filter your communications. Even if they say "we alter your data stream" somewhere in their ULA, they are still dishonest as they do it in a way that convinces you thay the effect is small while in fact it is not.

One more consideration: editorialized newspapers are fine, because all readers get the same paper and and work out the bias.
If the bias is extreme or blatant lies are circulated, public discourse will lead to consequences for the publisher.
With facebook, filtering is so pervasive, elegant and fleeting that you can't tell what's done on purpose and what isn't (a design goal imho).

So I'd say that even if Facebook publicly declared itself to be a heavily edutorialized publisher, without a way to know the bias, they shouldn't be allowed to operate on a personalized content basis, because unless they publish their feed algorithm and a way to verify it works as it's supposed to, there's no way to know if they are acting maliciously.
And without that kind of background, I suspect that you also would have a strong O-1 if the timing of the H-1B doesn't work.
I think the core issue is 50’s tech simply had vastly fewer parts. Now days even covering every major type of LED takes significant shelf space.

The way around this IMO was if they had added a in store pickup + some large regional warehouses. Free/Discounted next day shipping to the store of your choice or more to your house, could have really enabled hobbyists without costing the company much. In larger markets they could have even done some same day shipping to stores.
Awesome article
It is strange that you see a lot of folks who feel that in China they'll be less restricted in some ways, and that might be true, until it isn't and in that case with an authoritarian government, it's just over. No legal options, no heads up.
> I do hope that blogs and comment sections do not end up serving any formal role in the scientific literature.

Why not? It all depends on the qualification of the people writing blog posts and comments. Remember that some 300 years ago a lot of scientific results existed in epistolary form only, and that first journals that looked like today's thing (like the Bulletin of the Royal Society) were basically compilations of letters sent by astronomers, naturalists etc and reactions of their peers sent as follow-up letters.

Naturally, this doesn't mean that anybody and their dog should have a voice in discussing matters like cosmology if they actually have no clue about it.
