Interesting, I misunderstood the info I got while traveling there. The way the border agents phrased it I required esta as well as an additional form, but the website I checked now says I wouldn't have needed the esta as you said!

For me, arriving at the US by land was by far a worse experience than arriving by air, as my passport was taken until they had time to process me, waiting in a room i was not allowed to leave, then filling out an additional form and paying additionally. Contrasted to arriving by air "do you have esta? -> yes -> have fun" at the immigration.
I, for one, would prefer that sick people stay at home. Especially food service workers. It would improve public health.
We desprately want it to be true, so we ignore the truth long enough to try earnastly to make it so. It the brave and ignorant charge of the new generation. Which begs the question; Is it enough to mean well and act in earnst, or is ethics reserved for those who have the luxury of self-reflection?

EU member states are sovereign countries, or at least that’s the pretense. It’s not equivalent.
As the other response notes, any kind of flashing screen issues relate to the 10NES lockout chip not communicating properly with the cartridge. Disabling the 10NES would solve the flashing part, but if you're getting it with a solid color screen instead of the opening second of the game you have a few other pins that aren't connecting well either.

The front loader NES has a design flaw that makes the cartridge slot wear out over time and the pins stop making good connections. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that the Game Genie aggravates this flaw because of the way it sits in the slot, but every front-load NES is doomed to eventual failure if it's actually used.

Fortunately there are cheap replacements available and it's a pretty trivial job to install them. It's basically just a C-shaped bit of plastic and metal that connects to an edge connector on the NES motherboard and then loops around to face the cartridge slot.

Schengen isn’t EU. Part of it are 4 countries that are not in the EU and the 4 EU members that are not in Schengen are obliged to join it.

Also any specific worker rights we don’t enjoy in the EU? I’m a Romanian so am interested in details.
Regardless of whether Schengen applies free movement absolutely does.
Why not just have immigration? Full and free citizens who have the right to pursue a job or career in response to personal interests and market signals?

If people prefer to work a accountants in Cincinnati rather than devs in the valley, that’s the market’s answer. If people choose to drop out of stem PhD programs and open a crepe stand, that’s the markets answer. If being a PhD student we’re a better deal, the market might give a different answer.

Why a program that allows corporations to determine the jobs immigrants are allowed to work and the circumstances under which they are allowed to live in the us, simply because they don’t like the market’s answer?
ETIAS applies to all travelers to the EU from all visa-free countries. So it isn't a "punishment" for US specifically. It is a generic change to how EU handles visa-free travel. One might argue that e-visas (which the ETIAS is) are bad for free movement of people in general. In my opinion if ETIAS (and similar systems in other countries) make traditional visas move toward obsolescence by allowing traditional-visa-free travel, it is a good stepping stone to "more free" movement.

True free movement would then be reciprocal, i.e. EU-US travel would not require either ESTA or ETIAS. Basically that would mean US would be part of Schengen Area or a new similar structure.

The discord about US requiring visas from 5 EU countries is a separate issue that might bring other actual "tit for tat" measures if not resolved.
I view it as industry moving the marker higher and higher for cult and loyalty marks and seeing if they get a steady manpower influx inline with their needs.

“The Union said that the ETIAS visa is valid for three years and allows Americans to enter the Schengen Area as many times as necessary.”

> if I’m understanding this correctly, it’ll make things easier for nomads
The thing is EU is still not a country. It’s not as easy for a Bulgarian to go live in France and claim French citizenship compared to a Californian fully moving to Texas.
Plenty of countries have tourist visas that you can easily get online for a small amount of money. Exactly like the US's not-a-visa. For example Turkey's tourist visa costs $20.

They're all visas.
I do not understand why you are picking this framing. That makes no sense to me.

We can quibble about the veracity of the study and the chosen hypothesis for explanation, but what this is about is people feeling pressure from their workplace to not take sick leave when their child is sick.

And such workplaces are cruel and monstrous and should not ever exist and I see it as the state’s role to strongly and with harsh punishments enforce that to make this into a societal norm if it isn’t already the status quo. That’s at least my very bog-standard German view, where, while there obviously are problems, this actually is the status quo. So it can be done.

To me it seems completely clear that all people have to have unlimited sick leave and that obviously includes sick leave for when their children are sick.

I have a theory that dynamic programming problems have become more popular in part because the lower hanging fruit — reverse a linked list, is this a palindrome? — have become widely known and practiced via books and sites like hackerrank.

DP problems represent the next rung of the ladder, are somewhat less familiar. And most importantly, satisfy an interviewer’s possibly sadistic impulses by presenting a problem that has an easy 2^n solution. ;)

Sarcasm aside, I think this is just the inevitable result of the systemisation and gaming of the whiteboard interview.

> Since he proved he can do physics at high level enough to be part of CERN,

One, no, he didn't, he made errors of basic science in his argument and that should make his entire physics work suspect.

Two, "he can do physics at high level" is the opposite of everything CERN and the scientific method itself stands for. The scientific method does not say, if you're a genius, you can make discoveries. The scientific method says, if you work consistently and steadily and reproducibility in a community of peers, you can discover things about the world by using data from the world. Science is not about hiring mages who have a high enough mana level. CERN is a collaboration and a laboratory, which implies working together. If you're operating on a high level at your own, you have no need for CERN. If you're operating at a high level when you happen to have other colleagues around, then being able to work with those colleagues is a skill you must have as a scientist.
I'd chalk Pittsburgh up to mental illness rather than politics.

Defining away your requirements only works if you're not accountable to them.
Why does that matter? There are huge differences culturally and socioeconomically between different states (and even areas). States have very different laws with a "federal government" managing it all. I don't see how it's very different from EU member states and the EU in Brussel managing it all.
Why are you sure of this? Doesn't seem reasonable, given the expected effectiveness of the inoculation is "this will cover the majority of this class of illness in humans this year - hopefully".
Did you even read my full response or the top post in this thread?

Neither does the ETIAS system that the EU is introducing. The article for some reason decided to ignore the existence of ESTA altogether and then call the identical (but cheaper) ETIAS system a visa.
There is no difference. The ESTA is an e-visa for $14 and valid for two years. The ETIAS is an e-visa for €7 and valid for three years. Neither requires a consular visit, they are completed online.
Will visitors be permitted to stay longer than 90 days per 180 days?

It is the same way in my industry. C#, Java, MSSQL are “good” because executives have heard of them. Whereas Ruby, Elixir, Postgres, etc are “toys” because they’ve never heard of them.

I'm in favour of EU solidarity. My parent split the 2 issues out and stated they were in favour of both. It also isn't the stated reason why ETIAS was introduced, so its unclear to me if this could actually lead to equal treatment of EU citizens.

> (what happened to developers having a libertarian streak?)

Developers and scientists are characterized by a search for the truth, and the truth is on the side of the SJWs and not the libertarians. There was a period of time when it seemed libertarianism might have been right, but it's passed. And though libertarianism is an appealing philosophy, it turns out facts don't care about your feelings.
He would ask if he could tell people in order to preserve his position as a trusted expert and trustworthy "front man" of Erlang.

Suppose he didn't ask and just blabbed away? The trust he's developed over the years would be substantially marred. ("Don't tell Joe anything you don't want to show up on Twitter...")

I wrote a fairly large Scala.js app around the 2016–2017 time frame. I used David Barri's scalajs-react and the Scala.js Material UI bindings. Keeping in mind that compile times and optimizations may have improved since then–even so I would say BuckleScript's combination of language power, compile speed, size and quality of output JS, and JavaScript interop are quite simply the best in the business. In my mind there is simply no comparison. There is a quite well-paved path for writing React apps in BuckleScript/Reason by now, and even back in late 2016 I played around with the quite young BuckleScript project and immediately saw how much simpler it would have made things. If I ever have that kind of power, I would certainly push for it :-)
You realize humans drive with just vision, right?
This was something that shocked me. These companies are paying the same salary to new graduates as 12 years ago. Inflation in India was high during this period, especially the last few years. I think the reason is customers still want to pay $25-30 per hour. So these companies don't want to pay more. They can't ask more because customers will find some other country. Also, there are too many graduates they can take advantage of.

A teacher in a government school gets paid more than a IT worker these days, and they have guaranteed job till 55. Since IT job is primarily based on low wages, job opportunities become drastically less once they have 10+ years experience (please tell me I am wrong on this).
Clearly you have not lived in a city with a large stray population. Even deer eat birds and squirrels. Hunger is hunger. Avoidance is totally learned.
> In my opinion the most important thing here is to ensure as much equality of opportunity as reasonably possible. And this is an effort that should never relent.

Cool, so you agree that a scientist who attacks his colleagues imperils equality of opportunity, then?
Despite the fact that the United States is not a Schengen participant, so that doesn't equate into their rationale for the visa process with those countries, the work that you say the EU should do (otherwise it's hypocrisy) is nigh complete[0,1,2].

The issue is that the United States has agreements with the EU and, much like when Trump tried to negotiate a trade deal with Germany[3], those deals supercede any deals that may have existed with member states in the past.

This scenario, when reversed, would be akin to the EU having a deal with the United States but excluding Texas and requiring all Texans to officially apply for and receiving a visa before travel. Even though they're Americans and the deal with America should supercede, they would be - willfully - ignoring it.

Grass fed is good and probably even healthier. But it is also considerably more expensive, and our ultimate capacity for production of grass fed is much lower than corn fed. So grass fed cannot really fully replace corn fed.
Python Decorators: Syntactic Artificial Sweetener
Given the downvotes, I can only surmise that HN isn't really the place to discuss this sort of stuff, which is fair enough!

Anyway, thanks for responding thoughtfully and calmly. :)
> It's simple and takes minutes online, hardly a 'visa.'

Except when it doesn't. If your visa waiver is refused then you have to visit the US embassy to get a "traditional" visa, and sometimes that's not even possible to get.
They did not. The particlesforjustice is mostly hand-waving and claims about things like implicit bias etc. with little or no empirical support.

See https://justiceforstrumia.org for a lengthy and somewhat more substantial rebuttal of the rebuttal.
It's a bit weird that Python -- which in some ways was a trailblazer in popularizing somewhat unconventional syntax choices (indent matters!) -- has become so stuck in its ways that if-elif seems like a reasonable choice of syntax for what is usually a generalized switch[1].

[1]. The MultiWayIf extension for GHC is a great example of how to optimize this idiom for regularity.
What are you even going on about? The Schengen is a separate system from the EU, which abolishes border control (passport control). That also necessitates common Visa Policy. The freedom of movement in the EU is the principal right to move between countries.

The EU countries not part of Schengen Area still enjoy the same rights to freedom of movement, but there might be passport control. And this doesn't really matter anyway, since those countries are on the way to join Schengen Area within the next few years..
Don't feel stupid, I like Java too! Java is a memory safe language with a great standard library and amazing language stability that runs on all platforms and beats almost all other languages on performance. Seems pretty good to me!

HN is a very skewed place that's into some very niche stuff. That can be fine, it's good to be interested in new things, but no one should draw too many conclusions from trends we see on here.

Just to poke a few HN bears by way of example:

* Rust will never see widespread adoption. It's just hard and complicated, so seems cool and exclusive.
* Lisp isn't gonna happen either, and that's because it's not even a good choice for most problems. It just feels really really cool when you write something in a purely functional way and so you imagine that _must_ mean this is some higher plane of existence. Not really, we've had 30-40 years for this thing to take off, not happening.
* Even Erlang, while really cool, is just a super niche thing. If you're making a huge messaging service then definitely go for it, but you're making a website? Choose pretty much anything else.

There's a lot of reasons for all of the above (low average amount of experience leading to long term memory loss for the industry being the big one), but this comment is too long already and everyone's just going to be mad about the Rust stuff anyway.
It's very easy for a Bulgarian to go and live in France, that's the point. Claiming French citizenship is a different things entirely.

For me, Startup School was pretty overwhelming. I had no idea of what to expect, was a team of one, and I'm a coder, not a marketer.

Startup School is really about marketing and "finding market fit", and to a lessor degree the process of getting funded, setting up the structure of corporation, and, lastly, building the product.

But the actual building of the product was not focused on at all. That comes after you prove a viable market exists and get funded.
Your counfounding European Union and Shengen area. Countries can be part of the Shengen Area without being in the European union (like Switzerland, Norway).
Furthermore, Croatia, Cyprus and Bulgaria are in the process of joining the Shengen area.

The visa issue is between the European Union and the United State, not the Shengen Area and the United States.

It is like if European Union would require a Visa for inhabitants of Texas, Florida and Washington, even if a visa-free deal with the United States was agreed.
As someone that tried making the switch to software development at your age two years ago, and haven't had any luck, I would treat the majority of advice you get here and anywhere else with a grain of salt. You will hear a lot of stuff about how you are not too old, and that it's okay to not have a CS degree. It's not that those things are wrong, but I think they are less true today than they were when many people here entered the field, at least in the Bay Area. If you are like me, you will find there are almost no jobs for jr/green developers, and you will find that when you do come across those jobs you won't fit the mental image most employers have of someone that would be appropriate fit for that position.

So my advice is keep learning (because that is the one thing about this field that is fun and exciting), but figure out how to do so in a way that is sustainable and makes you happy, and take care of your mental health.
I think most people would agree, but then there are a lot of workers who simply cannot afford to take any time off, no matter how sick. I just witnessed this with my mom's nurse practitioner, who had to cut her own maternity leave short because the paid leave was not enough to cover her rent.

I second "develop any software for your domain", with one addendum.

Do you use excel for anything at all? Whatever it is, you could start by building that.

- Do you put data into a spreadsheet and then email it to someone else? Make a web app where you put in the data using your account, and the someone else can view the data using your account.

- Do you have different spreadsheets with separate data than then gets aggregated/summarised manually into a single spreadsheet? That's a job for a computer program, not a person, and you can add that as a feature for your web application.

- Once you've done that, you have a website that can work with the new data, but some people will want it on spreadsheets, not on the website, so write a spreadsheet export/download feature.

- All your new data is in the website, but the old one is still in excel spreadsheets on your hard drive. Write an importer to read the spreadsheet data into your application.

- Is some of the data for your lab in a format that's also machine readable (barcode format?). Add to your app support for reading barcodes, either via phone cameras or laptop webcams: https://github.com/serratus/quaggaJS

I could go on, but I guess you know your next step better than I would.

A recommendation is also that you do all your development at home, not on company time, and not using any company resources. A lot of profitable business are website implementations of existing spreadsheet workflows. In the past three years, I've worked on two such applications, three if you count a physical device UI where the prototype UI was developed on Excel + Visual Basic.
We have programs like that. Are you suggesting adding 45,000 or so visas to the EB 2/3 categories and eliminating the H1B? You'd still have corporations driving the process as those visas require an employer-sponsor (albeit once the visa is actually granted the situation is closer to full and free situation than it is for H1Bs).
All of this talk sound surprising similar to airlines.
