Exactly.

The first group are basically being exploited by a body shop that puts in 10X the number of applications vs spots that they need, but always still gets lots of awards. They then are able to leverage the fact they flooded the pool to carry out visa arbitrage - they have something employees want, and leverage that, even though that things is really public government property (visa) and so shouldn't be a privately leveraged.

Almost all the H1B horror stories are from these shops (often they have related outsource arms) - "I had to train my replacement and they sent my job overseas using H1B visas". You can see how trump got elected when dems were defending this as good for US workers.

The second group are folks who really really need employees. They are and will hire absolutely any US worker who meets their criteria (it's a lot easier - fewer hoops to jump through) and are willing to hire an H1B eligible employee if they run out of pipeline on US based folks. These tend to be truly higher skill jobs. The US is taking the cream of other countries investments in education etc etc with the folks - I can't imagine this is bad for the US in any way.

What is frustrating from one perspective though is that the reactionary defense of H1B means that lots of group 1 are still allowed to play their games. Seriously, crack down big time on group one. Keep same number of folks coming, and loosen up on group 2 - Level 2+ wages, masters degree US should be first in line.

For me it depends; if there aren't any comments to the article/discussion, then I'll click the article if it sounds interesting. This is almost always the case, too, if I am browsing "new".

Otherwise I'll click for the discussion, and then read the article when I get to that tab (ok, most of the time read the article - I've been called out before for not reading then making stupid comments - I try to avoid that now).

Sometimes on those that I read the article first and there isn't any discussion, if I liked it then I'll add a comment and upvote it. Otherwise I'll leave it alone, unless it looks like spam or something weird (if I see those, then I look at it carefully and make a judgement to flag or not).

That expectation is rather cruel. For decades, women who make motherhood their "careers" have been looked down on as somehow inferior to women who pursue careers. Even the terminology used to describe such women is disparaging and loaded with shame and disappointment, as if the woman in question had chosen or had been forced to choose an inferior option. That she is in some sense a failure for prioritizing her children over her career.
I don't think it's a bad use. When I logon to my SAN or UPS web interfaces, I don't want to type https://ups01.publicDNSdomain.com, and visit a site with a CT logged certificate. It's an absolutely internal thing and every Active Directory domain already has an (ideally) non-externally resolved DNS domain setup for use. You've already got an internal CA and deployed your own root because there's a series of Microsoft services that work best this way, so it makes a lot of sense to continue to use rather than trying to introduce Lets Encrypt in this scenario.

Mathematics and programming are not really all that related to each other and I think there's an overemphasis on the importance of math in programming for 99% of applications.

I think if you regard logic (in philosophy) and maths (as a huge broad field) and computing (specifically a sub-field in maths to some people) its pretty clear that logic and computing have a huge relationship.

I can think of lots of other subfields in maths, which have huge inter-relationships. Applied maths, whats that got to do with probability? Well.. it turns out that modelling complex systems uses Monte-Carlo methods .. (a fictional example, I suspect, I know the manhattan project people dreamed MC up but its modern applicability is unknown to me)

You don't think maths informs programming, or its over-stated? I guess thats true, in as much as poetry doesn't inform legal writing. But, I observe that people who do enough poetry or writing to understand the difference between a simile and a metaphor and an allegory, are really on-point communicators, and the law needs that concision and precision.

I think people with good groundings in maths (and logic) make awesome programmers but its not strictly neccessary to be a mathematician to know how to "speak" in a programming language. What pitfalls you avoid from your knowledge, I cannot say. But I do know that huge pitfalls lie in naieve programming: large loops iterating over un-initialized data structures, not understanding the if-then-else logic or side effects of expressions, tail recursion..

I think computing is a sub-field in maths. How much it matters depends on how much your code matters.
Your prescribed initiative to improve the lives of poor people is to remove one of the few cheap pleasures available to them?

I think many people here understand how stress and mood inform eating habits. Who among us has not indulged after a particularly bad day? Now imagine that bad day was every day, and you don't have the money, time, and energy to drown your feelings with healthier activities like strenuous exercise.

The best way to improve the lives of poor people is to give them money. Enough with this know-better-than-thou ban & incentize crap. Poor people get jerked around enough already.

I will take the 'that guy' crown from you. I am thinking what is self driving if the video shows it going off the track and not slowing down for the curves. This reminds me of back in the day with slotted race cars that if you didn't pay attention they flew off the track.

This is not to say that it's not admirable but I was not as impressed as I think I should be when someone is doing self driving.
I've been giving this some thought because well who doesn't want to glue together cloud-y things.

The only version I can see is one that runs on generic nix. i.e. Spin up a VM on each cloud (and in house) and run a stack on that which software glues it together. Redundancy of sorts.

...however if that glue actually works I might as well do that with 20 sht tier providers and let the redundancy cover gloss over it. No competitive advantage for cloud providers - and each of the cloud's various competitive advantages are by definition not hybrid-able easily.

Scaling? You're now dealing with multiple cloud's worth of different approaches to scaling. Good luck scaling that hybrid style in a resilient way.

...and all of this is just VMs. Add the 50 other offerings the average cloud has all with different scaling, quirks and the hybrid dream is deader than dead.
It's also no longer socially taboo for single roommates of mixed genders to live together. And of course people are staying single longer, meaning that there are now more urban singles.

You don't have to serve that website publicly or even set up DNS records. You only need to set up DNS verification to serve one public TXT record for letsencrypt. Everything else could be internal. Letsencrypt certifies that you own domain. You can do anything with that domain.

I don't want to sound like an asshole, I only have one child myself and I'm seriously considering stopping at one, I don't think childless people should be punished, but taxes should be steadily increased over time and incentivise child rearing until birthrates become sustainable again.

I realy think the situation described in the article is somewhat akin to colonialism/slave trade where you have poor regions of high birth rate providing meat for the big-city grinders.

There are not one, but two immigrant visas for skilled immigrants already. EB1A and EB2-NIW. No need to find a sponsoring employer, no requirement to prove that there are no qualified Americans, no salary requirements, almost no backlog even for people born in India and China, at least for the former.

It's the visa to get for the so-called "best and brightest". Of course, the catch is that you need to be really skilled and be able to prove it.

I think calling the companies toxic might be going a bit too far.

Agreed, this is really far from technical debt. It's self-contained, the purpose of the function is clear. Add a comment or two, a unit test, and this is perfect.

I agree that many worker bees are “clueless” but that breaks the GP heuristics.

My reading seems similar but different to yours. I agree that it has nothing to do with social status outside of work: to me it’s about emotional processing.

I can’t recall the specific passage but I remember Venkat talking about how clueless people seek absolution in collective emotional processing. That’s what leads me to believe the dude you’re replying to is clueless.

I completely disagree that Stanley is a loser, to me he is a quintessential clueless. He’s working in the office, not the warehouse: he’s in middle management, so IMO he’s clueless by definition because he is part of the padding between the masters/sociopaths/bosses and the slaves/worker bees/losers.

I think your perspective is interesting but I feel like I am adhering slightly more strictly to the heuristics laid out in GP.

The problem is that schools are mostly a signaling mechanism rather than focused on increasing human capital through actual education. As more people attend, societal expectations adjust and even food service jobs start requiring 4-year degrees.

The problem with everyone investing in signalling is that it's a zero-sum game. If everyone in your neighborhood buys a fancy car, it's no longer fancy.

You're generating private key securely. You're generating CSR which contains public key and signed by that private key and now you need to move that CSR from private location to a public location. But that's not bad, it does not contain anything that could be compromised and your private key is kept safe. Then you're using letsencrypt to issue that certificate using that CSR and keep using that CSR (it does not expire) to renew certificate. All that time private key is kept in safety and is only used by your webserver.
Letsencrypt allows you to generate legitimate certificate for internal websites without any compromise on security.

The only use-case that's not possible with Letsencrypt is to issue certificate for IP address.

I can think of several arguments for or against this, but the two important (and somewhat independent) questions to ask first are "is our target population larger than present?" and "what do we want our age distribution to look like?".

making childfree adults pay more taxes is essentially a subsidy towards having children. in general when you apply a subsidy to something, you get more of it. in the west, we already face significant sacrifices to our standard of living over the next couple decades if we want to even approach a sustainable usage of our planet's resources. if we actually grow the population, we have to make even larger sacrifices. from this perspective, your tax proposal seems like a bad idea.

on the other hand, we also have a looming demographic crisis as the ratio of retired to working adults increases. if nothing changes, the working population will bear a much greater burden in the future to support retirees, or we will have to drastically cut retirement benefits. from this perspective, it does seem beneficial to increase the incentive to have children (or at least blunt the disincentive a bit more).

yet another perspective: childless people (in the US, at least) already pay more taxes than parents. they are ineligible to take the per-child tax deduction that you probably take every year. they also pay for services like schools which their (nonexistent) children will never consume or benefit from. there is also a negative correlation between number of children and income. because of this correlation, people with few or no children are more likely to already pay more into the system than they receive in services/benefits. they are also more likely to have adequate savings for retirement and depend less heavily on government retirement benefits.

I think in an ideal world, some well-meaning experts would convene and establish a target population and age distribution for a country (or the world, but I'm trying to keep at least one foot grounded in reality). then if we're on track to meet the target, no special benefit for parents. if we're below target, a proportional tax advantage for parents. if above, a proportional penalty tax. the the tax benefit/penalty would be locked in for the next twenty years so that parents wouldn't have the rug pulled out from under them. actually maybe the penalty could be removed, seems unnecessarily punitive otherwise.
>For instance most could quite trivially prove PV=nRT, but most just take someone else’s word on faith.

No, that's not faith, not in a religious sense. People accept stuff like that because they believe that other people have followed all the proper procedures to prove this is true (within tolerance of error, etc.), and that they aren't making it up or lying for some reason, and most importantly, that it is independently reproducible and verifiable.

Religious faith has no such element of verifiability. So this isn't "faith" at all.
Signed up just to say this. I don't see the controversy in not counting QA analyst as a specialty position. Just look up what countries like Canada, UK, France consider specialty positions and understand that this isn't a controversy.

In fact, I was shocked that QA has been an H1B position in the United States. This is also why there are such massive backlogs for EB-3 for India, despite them getting circa 18% of the cap (7% + unused quota from ROW).
Sounds like you may be onto something novel here...

Super tax efficient too. The loan is not taxed and the interest is often times deductible. You'll probably make money too, but if you don't you can still deduct the expenses you bought, and if it was an investment you can get capital losses against when he really does cash in the shares at a gain.

NY Times might say you "lost $700M" though, to sell some newspapers. Almost no benefit in explaining unless you want the law to get changed - which would benefit nobody.
Well it is low-value, discretionary consumption, not an essential asset or expenditure.

Bring your own coffee cup filled with water, and you'll still fit right in, save the environment, save money and cut caffeine and calories.

It’s rare for a politician to only work 4yrs at the policy making level. Most of them are career politicians these days or retired wealthy people, not people with regular jobs giving politics a shot.

How exactly do you define sustainable here? Sustainable what?

In either one of those cases, it sounds like a company I don't want to work for anyways. Bullet dodged.

I would only really care about jeopardizing the offer if it's a company that wouldn't have an open office plan, anyways.
Okay, how does this work realistically? What about people that are sterile? Or people who choose to not have children due to their genetic history? Or what if they literally cannot afford to have children?

And what does sustainable mean in this context? Is every nation supposed to have a positive growth of population into perpetuity?

Yeah I was thinking this as I read the parent comment. Everything they said is true, but it's also true that there is a lot for kids to do in those places. The comment about plopping kids in front of screens applies more so to the suburbs than to downtown! What are kids supposed to do in their neighborhood? Letting kids wander and play outside is seen as basically criminal, and there's nothing else to do.
Does these MITM-middleware softwares usually verify the cert presented by the server? If not, I guess this could be used to double-MITM the user?

If someone manages to redirect traffic by e.g DNS spoof to some server which presents a self-signed certificate for e.g Facebook.com, the government-MITM would just sign that as being Facebook.com.
