I was asking what you do about people who are willing or even enthusiastic about killing others, and I think this is qualitatively different from exclusionary behavior.

In our distant past, exclusion from the group may well have meant death. This is why our emotions are tuned as they are. We feel exclusion harshly. Conversely, when we exclude, we are acting from quite a harsh place. It's not as far from violence and killing as we'd like to think.

But lots of people with eliminationist ideologies are perfectly willing to talk, because they wish to recruit and promote their ideological viewpoint.

I'm a bit more concerned about people with eliminationist ideologies who pretend their ideologies aren't eliminationist. Yet they support mobs who would threaten and beat up "wrongthinkers" who come into their neighborhood. Especially if they're supposed to be about equality and peace and love. The historical record isn't very kind to people who espouse peace, love, solidarity, then turn out to just want to kick out and eliminate those they find disagreeable. (And I'm talking about Berkeley, FFS!)

Perhaps you could furnish examples of what sort of sincere questions you see 'being treated as if they are such extremism'.

Questions about the wisdom of "listen and believe" have been treated as "hate speech" instead of as a question relevant to due process and the presumption of innocence it actually is. Questions about the a failure to use non-traditional non-binary pronouns should be treated have in turn been been treated as "hate speech" instead of as a question relevant to how appellations work on campus and in society at large.

It's also possible that this is a function of your perspective and you're simply not looking in the right places. I can't help feeling that you're avoiding answering the question by simply restating your opinion over and over - 'outrage mongering' 'information buble' 'groupthink' etc.

Well, for one thing, outrage mongering needs to be called out. Also, the narrative being artificially propped up by the legacy media is really quite out of touch and needs to be challenged. There is a large fraction of people in legacy media who actively distort the truth and push narratives, while willfully burying certain facts that don't fit their narrative.

I get that you think this is a big problem, but while you acknowledge the existence of extremists who put their ideology into violent action, it sounds like you just don't know what to do about those people

I know what should be done with those people. They should be prosecuted, where there is evidence. Also, the press should be calling out their violence and authoritarian tactics. The latter isn't happening nearly as much as it should. There's a large number of incidences of quite serious violence, which is quite apparently engineered for the purposes of political pressure and silencing. Yet nearly none of the incidences from the Far Left are widely reported on, which means that most of the incidences overall are basically buried or minimized. Something is quite out of whack about that.

Bias against the unmentioned goals? Sure, plausible. But theoretically is argue not necessary.

There's no reason why all goals could be covered, in some not to hard to imagine system (perhaps a post-secondary society simply allows anyone with a grievance to get in touch with whoever can fix it, if it should be fixed,as opposed to having a bunch of top down goals)

Also, I don't see why being optimum in one goal, let's say transparency, wouldn't help many other goals, like freedom and security.

I just don't think these concepts are as simple as levers, and I think anything is possible.

That said, humans are far from perfect, so their societies are difficult to perfect.

But that's horrible. I don't want to throw up barriers to entry, in order to keep out new comers.

There are many great engineers that I know who would have been barred from the industry, if we had anything at all similar to the barriers to entry in the medical or "real" engineering industries.

It is because of this that if there is ever a software union, I am going choose "defect" every single time.

I am not going to let these new-comers, that I know, be barred from the amazing jobs in tech, just because they didn't get a degree or pass a test or whatever.
I've seen statistics that show 50-85% of H-1Bs are underpaid. There are so many ways to abuse and game the system it's not even worth saving. Make the minimum $150k and give visas to the highest paid applicants. It shouldn't be a lottery...
Totally random aside, but one trick with falling asleep is that the body doesn't fall asleep when warm, but when it warms up. So get yourself nice and cold (open windows in winter, pump up ac, put a fan on, keep the blankets off, etc), like really uncomfortably cold, then cover up. Sleep is much easier to achieve :)

Legal immigration is the reason silicon valley exists. Ask Mark Zuckerberg why he moved Facebook HQ to silicon valley. It is because that's where the engineers are. If legal immigration wasn't a thing Zuckerberg would have moved considerable number of jobs to places like Beijing, Bangalore and St. Petersburg, because that's where he would have found software engineers.

Canada, already a major center for AI innovation, will be the new silicon valley.

I've used Segment at two companies in a row (in both cases they were implemented at early stages before I joined). It's a good product with broken pricing. They charge insane amounts of money for add-ons and seem to get exponentially more expensive as you grow. My recent renegotiation with them was the most painful experience with a vendor in my 12 year career.

I want to like Segment, I really do. But until they change their attitude I strongly recommend against using them. Especially for startups, because it's not easy to get off once you deeply integrate Segment into your stack.
>Population is only loosely correlated with the issue, it's not about visa demand; in many cases (basically, all the family-based categories) the backlogs are worse from Mexico and/or the Philippines than India or China.

Population is definitely part of the issue, with people from smaller countries getting a green card in 7 months vs. 70 years for the biggest ones.

>in many cases (basically, all the family-based categories) the backlogs are worse from Mexico and/or the Philippines than India or China.

That's irrelevant because those people in family based backlogs are not legally present in the US fulltime, so the pain for them is much less compared to people on work visas and their spouses who are not able to work.

People in family based queues can still work because they're in their home country.

>H-1B wasn't crested as an immigrant visa, either, though it allows immigration without exiting. It was envisioned and sold ad primarily a way to temporarily fill transitory needs.

I was talking about the work green card system. Also H1B is a dual intent visa. If it was designated as a temporary transitory visa then it should not qualify for green cards.

Indeed, I’m pointing out the labor law deficiency that needs remediation. Your employer should never be able to have unconstrained demands on your time for a fixed wage.
Yikes if this is true. If I were on a jury there is absolutely no way Yelp would survive this assuming this is true and assuming there is not evidence that makes me reconsider my position on this. The fact that the documents were not provided to the plaintiff upon request and before a meeting with HR alone already has me seriously suspect. HR should probably be accountable in this situation as well as the manager involved. It seems like Yelp failed at every step of this process which is designed to protect the legal and business interests of Yelp.
This isn’t a solution to building business models on open source software by definition, but it’s potentially a solution to building business models on proprietary software where your customers want to be able to fix bugs and make improvements on their own.

Note that “source available” licenses aren’t new - they used to be the norm, even around the time the Free Software Foundation was started, and still are the norm in some industries. Even Microsoft will sell you a “shared source” license for some of its software. The defining feature of open source software is not that you can freely see the code, it’s that you can freely modify and use the code for any purpose.

The issue isn’t that these business models exist, it’s that there’s a new wave of companies that wish to take advantage of the vast amount of work that FLOSS advocates and activists have done over the decades in order to push proprietary software, and that’s not ok. This isn’t “fixing open source” - this is creating proprietary software using a proven business model and lying about what it is.
> the community now understands that the original concept of open source has to be fixed because it isn’t suitable anymore to the modern era where cloud companies use their monopoly power to adopt any successful open source project without contributing anything to it.

Assuming "community" means general open source devs/users, this doesn't speak for everyone. The (admittedly small) stuff I make open source is given to rich and poor, startup and big cloud company alike. I don't feel "taken advantage of" when my code is taken, used in secret, and nothing is given back. I'm glad I could help. Lots of the best open source software are just byproducts of the primary method of making money instead of its sole driver. All approaches/opinions are ok, but not everyone has this vindictive attitude towards how what you give away is used.

When I stop getting South-Asian recruiters bombarding me on LinkedIn asking if I want to work a 1 month contract in Pittsburgh writing PHP for $16 an hour despite living in Texas then I will agree the situation has been straightened out. There are fast-food places offering $15 an hour.

Until then the system is being abused and it's American labor that's losing out, followed by people being abused by the H1B racket. If they want to pay someone $x to do some job then hire them in their home country and outsource it. Or offer the visa to the worker. It's much more preferable for these firms to abuse the system and their "placements" until it's fixed though.
Nike certainly in the spotlight last night. Duke's Zion Williamson blasted straight through the sole of his custom Air Force 1s on the first play of the season's biggest game. Spraining his knee and unable to return. Can't recall ever seeing an equipment failure of that magnitude before. Cameras even captured Obama's reaction from the front row.

It's big in NYC / LA, with dedicated stores like Supreme and Flight Club. Limited edition sneakers are as legit an asset class as wine or cigars. Will they retain their value in the same way as buying an Andy Warhol painting? Short term I'd be very bullish. But I think it's more about the feeling of being a participant in the culture. And getting props ;)

Abuse happens and goes unchecked because people are willing to take it for large sums of money. Or in some cases keeping a job. Doesn't help that there is no punishment for treating people like sub-humans either.
I really enjoy the Faunadb blogs and technical writeups. They hit the right level of depth and readability, so kudos to the author.
Not only is that acceptable, if they deliver a device that respects the user's software freedom, respects the user's privacy, leaves the user in control as much as they wish to pursue (with both software and user-serviceable hardware), and still deliver a device that can handle phone calls it will be far ahead of their competition. I'll be interested to see how far such an endeavor goes on those points.

That is how unique a privacy-centered tracker[1] is these days -- such a novelty when virtually all of the other comparable devices on the market routinely run proprietary code and lack the ability to physically disable connectivity completely under the user's control (and via hardware, not software).

[1] I call it a tracker because I believe that's a more honest name for what these devices do when they're enabled on wireless and phone networks -- they request their geolocation many times per minute (and, in so doing, allow others to track that location as well). Handling phone calls happens far less frequently.

One event that really drove a wedge between hard hat ppl and white collar was this riot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Hat_Riot

A few days after Kent State a group of construction workers head into a protest against Vietnam and pretty viciously attack a crowd of 1000 college students. There is plenty of blame to go around for this event (like any occurrence of mob action) and many sociological trends that led to this, but historians tend to mark this event as the “beginning of the end” for Union influence in the US.
This is pure chauvinism, like claiming NASA is 50% Indian. Silicon Valley was the dominant tech center of the world well before the H1B.
Your description of how intellectual property works is untrue.

In the state of California, there very much is strong protections for workers intellectual property.

And the courts do not share your opinion on what is someone's "own time" or not. The courts instead protect workers.

It is possible that Google has made its employees sign some illegal contracts, that aren't enforceable in court. But if this stuff theoretical went to court, the law sides with workers.
The H1-B Visa was abused, intended only for cases where there are absolutely no Americans with the qualifications that can fill that job.

A number of politicians are effectively "bribed" by large firms to attempt to increase the H1-B Visa quota (see Gang of Eight Immigration). My own state sen Schumer, has a daughter that works for Facebook and it is no secret that Facebook wants to increase the number of H1-B Visas.

Fixing immigration is comparatively easy.
1. Get rid of H1-B Visa abuse. The reality is that there should be few H1-B Visas given out because there are in fact Americans that can do most of the jobs. H1-B Visas should only be given out at salaries 1.5 times those of Americans, to incentivize the hiring of Americans and minimizing H1-B Visa abuse.

2. Force the implementation of eVerify with massive fines for employers that don't use it.

3. Obama broke the law by not having Congress pass the DACA legislation. It appears that Congress doesn't want to pass it so they should return to their native countries.

Remember, in all of these programs of Visa abuse, or the hiring of illegal aliens, takes jobs (and in the case of DACA) university spots from US Citizens and those who are living here legally.

Thus, the system is not broken. Just enforce existing laws such as eVerify with massive fines for abuse, get rid of H1-B Visa abuse, get rid of H4 Visas which Congress never passed in the first place, get rid of DACA, have them apply and wait in line like everyone else that wants to live here.

The key thing however is that the H1B is a non-immigrant, temporary worker visa. Expecting wine from water doesn't engender much sympathy. Using H1B as a pathway to a green card is not any different than expecting to convert an EU tourist visa into a work permit. The long waiting times for a green card are a symptom of expecting an immigrant outcome for a non-immigrant visa.

If people want to immigrate, then isn't the correct choice to obtain an immigrant visa?[1]

An H1B is a non immigrant visa[2]:

"Temporary worker visas are for persons who want to enter the United States for employment lasting a fixed period of time, and are not considered permanent or indefinite."

So I'm confused. How is it some kind of tragedy when the visa under which you are working doesn't provide a quick path to a green card? Isn't the visa doing exactly as advertised? Furthermore, providing the H1B spouse with a work permit -- doesn't that mean that the spouse can work in a non-shortage occupation without restriction? Doesn't that necessarily mean that the spouse is able to compete with Americans and permanent residents for jobs that are not hard-to-fill? Basically 1 work visa provides 2 jobs? That doesn't seem like the intent of the H1B program which is to provide temporary workers of high ability to fill specialized jobs for which there are verifiable shortages. It certainly isn't designed to be a recruiting tool for big tech: "Come work for us and your spouse can get a job too! The salary is lower than an equally qualified American, but since your spouse gets to work too, you'll have enough money to live in San Jose and maybe one day, you might even get a green card!" That seems to be the promise the H1B crowd is expecting.

I'm not opposed to immigration -- but H1B isn't about immigration; it's about filling otherwise unfilled jobs in specialty occupations for which there aren't enough qualified Americans. If the sole purpose is to fill shortages, then providing the spouse with a free-riding right to work in any occupation (not shortage areas) is not consistent with the purpose. If H1Bs can't afford to have a non-working spouse, then they ought not accept the jobs at the salaries offered. What's happening now is that the working spouse's job is actually a subsidy to compensate for an H1B wage that is lower than it should be. That lower H1B wage is then being used to displace American workers.[3]
