Dude, just … no.

It's not about signaling or positive sentiments. All human beings are equal. Being born in one place doesn't make you special or entitles you to a job.

US citizen or whatever-country citizen, all that matters is what you can do. Meritocracy, you know.

If someone else can do the job better than you or me, they should be hired. Being born in the US or gender or anything else you can think about shouldn't play a role. Only raw performance should matter, because anything else is discriminatory.

Just saying, because that's how I see the world, and I hope more people will keep seeing the world that way instead of thinking they're special and worth some unique privilege because of circumstance of their birth.

If your company hired a shitty developer then you should be blaming you company's hiring practises, not the immigration status of the developer.
There's a difference between "freedom of speech" and "freedom from consequences of speech". Many people try to hide behind the protection of the former but actually mean the latter and claim persecution when they have to face consequences (boycotts, bans from privately run services, etc).

For me quite simple:

- spend less than what you earn

- defer purchase, most of the time you’ll change your mind

- start to save early (compound interest!)

- don’t take a loan except absolute necessary. But when yes, pay back early.

- once saved enough, learn to invest in different markets

- consider spending as an investment and always compare with the h0 alternative.

Tom Verbeure on the VexRiscV CPU: “A New Way to Design”
"We are already approaching the point when it will be feasible — not necessarily desirable — for those engaged in what is quaintly called “white-collar” jobs to do perhaps 95 per cent of their work without leaving home. " :- he nailed the trend of working from home too.
where did I say that prices are lower? I’m expressioning skepticism that a whopping 24% increase in hiring is due only to demand increases, which you heavily implied is the case. How much more would wages rise here if we weren’t artificially increasing the supply like this? We could certainly find out, if we wanted. But that would require some policy changes that are not popular to employers who are, incidentally, not interested in letting wages rise.

Except it's not true that the US education system isn't producing enough educated prospective software engineers, the deficiency is entirely people at the higher levels.

The predicted job growth by the BLS over the next ten years is very close if not equal to the number of people getting bachelor's degree in computer science. This doesn't include boot camp graduates or people who are returning to get a master's, nor does it count the many people in related fields who go on to become software developers. While certainly some of these graduates are immigrants themselves, it's rather unlikely that the 10s of thousands of H1Bs that come in every year are needed for anything but to reduce labor costs (although it's known that reducing labor costs does make American industry more competitive at large).

Are you kidding? Are you somehow suggesting Facebook shouldn't be able to know anything about me given the amount of data they've sucked up over the last decade?

Given I first opened my Facebook account 10 years ago and I've been posting status update and liking various bands and TV shows, I would expect it to be able to have a fair guess of things I might like.

It's recommending videos that aren't even in ENGLISH! I mean, I have "liked" TV shows on Facebook, artists/bands, I've posted about books I've enjoyed, movies I've liked. It knows my age, gender, location, friends, job, etc. You'd think if they were as good at recommending as some people make out they could do a decent job.

There isn't a single piece of content in my top 20 videos I'd want to watch.

It's a joke. If this is the state of their AI recommending tech they need to fire their data scientists.

H-4 holders (spouses of H-1B, for the uninitiated) should be allowed to work. That they don't is inhuman and de facto hurts women, since the overwhelming majority of H-1B holders (at least in the Valley) are men. It's forcing women into a stay-at-home role as if it were the 50s. It's especially hard for H-4s because they are newcomers to the USA who may not have local friends or family. My wife went through it for a while and it's incredibly isolating.

That's super interesting, I didn't know that about hourly wages. I tend to think of income gaining from 1950 to 1990 and flattening from the mid 1990s to now.

Though it does look like total compensation (adding in benefits) did actually increase recently, they don't have anything for back to 1960. So maybe the story is that wages stayed flat, but benefits accounted for most of the income increase. Not an economist so I don't know how to tease this out.

Heath care does go up from 5% of gdp in 1960 to 18.2% today, maybe most compensation gain is going there? Plus retirement benefits.

But... from 1960 to 2000 the civilian labor force increased from 70 million to 141 million [1]. With all those new workers, by your link, compensation didn't actually shrink. That's weird huh? Also real median family income grew from $41K to $72K [2].

And sure 10 million software engineers added to SV tomorrow would lower wages. But maybe not long term? If it was 10 million countrywide? What would an economist or a careful wage survey say? Anyway we're talking about 85,000 jobs all over the country.

The main point of my comment is that when economists spend 10 years looking at data and arguing out every detail, they conclude that immigration is increasing jobs and increasing wages. They usually conclude that for specific wage markets too.

Maybe we can't rely on some anecdotes in the media to refute their conclusions?

Exactly. But to your last point, what are feelings if not data? For example, if the system was programmed to interpret feedback threatening its higher level goals as negative data (anxiety, fear) and feedback supporting its goals as positive data (happiness, joy), then feelings can very much be represented in the model.
There aren't 60k people graduating with computer science bachelor's degrees every year in the US from any source I can find: https://datausa.io/profile/cip/110701/.

Nobody complain about consequences, what people complain about is when public entities financed by the public like Berkley university prevent people from talking their mind.

As for private entities the problem are with monopolies like facebook which are the facto the city square of modern days and all the laws applied to the public space should be applied to those type of companies also. The same way an electricity or phone company can't deny service because of people political views.
There are some pretty good answers to this question posted, but the simple one is that there is, really, no such thing as a lock-free anything.

When people say "lock-free", they mean they rely on basic hardware primitives that end up doing pretty much what you would do with locks in your code, but you can't see it. Generally, the hardware can do it faster, but rarely as much faster as people think, or want. In particular, you will still have stalls -- 30 cycles, 100 cycles, sometimes longer, whenever anything clashes, "lock-free" or no. Everything you do to cut contention at your level will pay just as it would if you were using regular locking. If you can cut your contention enough, lock-free ends up little faster (although it can still reduce latency spikes).

If the lock-free stuff is buried in a library well-maintained by somebody else who is terrifyingly competent, then use it. But it is very, very unlikely that maintaining your own will be worthwhile; the most likely outcome is extremely subtle bugs. And who cares how fast buggy code is? There are much easier ways to make wrong code fast.

This is only true for experienced professionals, and is something that will change in the next ten years given current metrics.

Ask HN: Would you hire a felon?
I have posted a few times before regarding this topic but in short I have a few felonies for playing with bitcoins and drugs while in college. I have a job as a full-stack JavaScript dev (just launched a new Gatsby site last week, I <3 netlify) and am a founder in a startup that counts CocaCola as a client (in negotiations with a few more Fortune 500 companies as well). I love to code more than just about anything else in life (aside from perhaps naps and nachos). It legit saved my life from a terrible addiction. I have been out of trouble for six years now, I got my life in order, and am in a great mental space. Yet, I want to get remote work while I continue my own projects. I am a competent developer who can make it past interviews and code challenges alike. Yet no one will hire. I usually get to the end and am told I am a top candidate. But at whatever point I reveal my past, I immediately get 'waitlisted'. Honestly, I am just curious. Would you ever consider hiring someone such as myself? Any advice how I can find those who would? What are some creative ways that I could put myself out there and prove myself? Thanks a bunch for any advice, it means a lot.
Also, as I recall, Concorde could do this too...

You're right that there's always some utility as long as there's randomness, but that utility decreases the more accurate your predictions get.

Rather than a magical death clock, let's say that actuarial science gets to the point where it can figure out an individual's life expectancy ±5 years with a 90% hit rate. The possibility of being hit by a bus or having some unknown wild-card disease means you could die much younger, and you might beat the odds and die much older, but 90% of people die within their predicted range.

Now, Bob goes to sign up for life insurance and he's predicted to die at age 50. He really wants this insurance to ensure his family can survive without him, but the premiums are completely outrageous, so he passes. Alice is predicted to die at age 100 so her premiums are cheap, but she sees little point in it, so doesn't sign up.

In this world, I see a lot of accidental death insurance being sold, but almost no general life insurance. Some people would buy it, as it would have some utility, but not a whole lot.

I agree that the numbers in the US are unlikely to be changed post-collection, but there are still pressures that lead to the under reporting of suicide rates here as well.

I chose country club specifically because I think there has always been a strong fiction of meritocracy in IT and I was very specifically highlighting the exclusatory nature of the culture.

"All walks of life" is a polite fiction. The September in "Eternal September", after all, refers to university intake. "Wherever they might be" is a bit of a cop-out, because they weren't really "wherever", they were in other universities.

It wasn't a coffee shop, it was a strongly walled garden which only very specific groups of people could reasonably access.
