Trump Says U.S. Should Get Slice of TikTok Sale Price
H1B workers and their employers pay all taxes, including things like SSA and Medicare FICA taxes that they may never get to use. They also pay a lot of extra fees that US employees don't, some of which are allocated to training US workers.
Totally agree. There are a lot of companies that are trying to improve this: https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards.
A hash algorithm is not a supernatural function which changes the metaphysical character of data. Whether something is plaintext or ciphertext depends on what you're doing with it.

And to the server in this example, 200820e3227815ed1756a6b531e7e0d2 and qwe123 are exactly equivalent strings. All the server does is run a hash function and record the result. That result is the ciphertext, and the input is the plaintext, no matter how the input was generated.
From the linked AP article:

> Trump made the announcement as he signed an executive order to require all federal agencies to complete an internal audit to prove they are not replacing qualified American workers with people from other countries. The White House said the order will help prevent federal agencies from unfairly replacing American workers with lower cost foreign labor.
Of course, like most things, it's entirely contextual. I agree with you, there's nothing I enjoy more than just looking out the window of a car, or train, or plane for that matter -- and if there isn't an urgency, or I'm traveling for pleasure that's just fine!

Of course if I need to cross a portion of the globe as quickly as possible for any number of plausible reasons, or I have to cover an enormous distance on a regular basis, like I'm sure most people would agree, (and I'm sure for a stiff price) I'd certainly be glad to have the opportunity to take advantage of a hyperspeed way to do it.
Not at all. Open source software usually falls under 2 categories:

1. Passion projects by passionate individuals

2. Released by companies to burnish the rep, improve recruiting, or reduce maintenance costs by sharing them

Laboriously writing tax rules for 50 states + federal the government can't possibly be any programmer's idea of fun. And the software has economic value so a company wouldn't write and open-source it, unless you can find a complement[1] to tax-prep that's even more profitable.

There's this radical concept called the burden of proof that's been around in debate since antiquity.

Do you have any proof that Zhang Yiming has been forced to become a CCP member or lose his job? Hell I'll even make this easier for you: any evidence whatsoever that he's actually a member of the CCP?

That aside you honestly think Mike Cannon-Brookes would hold some moral highground and throw away his billions if all it costed was some lipservice and a $50 signup fee to be a party member? He managed to complain a few times after being forced into becoming a 5eyes spying vassal but besides that didn't do a single thing to stop it.

Its a fake dilemma you've created here, Chief executives do far worse things all the time than kowtow to their respective governments and when push comes to shove they all back down because it's worth it.

>Giant corporations generally pay better and invest more into their workforce than small business, that's why developed economies, with high levels of organisation, rely on larger firms.

In my experience, this is entirely not true. The only places i've ever gotten fair wages, been treated like a valuable employee, received regular raises were businesses with between 10-20 employees.

>The romanticism of small-business is extremely misplaced. Small business is unproductive, precarious, and as can be seen in this pandemic fragile to external shocks, offering virtually no security to their workforce

The last place I worked before my current job had a workforce of 13-15 people at any given time. We were extremely organized and productive. We brought in anywhere from $30000-$50000/day for that company. The company's assets were well into the millions from the bank statements I seen.

Our customers included people and businesses even hundreds of km away because of the quality of our work. Our work wasn't cheap either, even compared to our competitors, yet we regularly had so much business, we needed to turn down contracts and still constantly made money.

All of my coworkers had been there for over a decade before I left. They all supported families and lived good lives off that job. We all genuinely cared about the success of that business and wanted everything we did there to reflect well on it.

I have never felt that when working for any corporation other than when I'm forced to at mandatory 'pep meetings' or 'team building' bullshit they force you to participate in.
Live HDR+ and Dual Exposure Controls on Pixel 4 and 4a
There are two things at play, that have really cut into what roads I will ride on.

1) Distracted drivers. And it has no relation to age. I see old people using their phones, I see young people using their phones. This is number 1, by a huge margin, and it is just getting worse. I never use my phone, other than for navigation, while driving. Not even hands free. Leave a message.

2) Bicyclists that don't follow the rules of the road. Stupid young kids using both side of the road, and sidewalks, I sort of understand. We were all stupid young kids at some point in our lives. But there is no excuse for stupid adults. If you have a drivers license, you know the rules, they are not that hard. Where I live, more than two thirds of bicyclists ride to the left, against traffic. Lately, maybe as much as three quarters. My kids (young adults) all ride on the right, when they ride. They were taught that from day one. Does no one teach bicycling to their kids?

So I am out riding, trying to be aware of the roadway, blind spots, cars (worse, trucks on narrow roads), and as I crest a hill I meet another bicycle coming straight at me. WTF?

> what possible motivation could an employer have for bringing in an H1B than lower cost

Skills for one. The way H1B was really meant to be used. I am not arguing TVA did this. But there ARE reasons to hire H1B workers other than cost. Case in point Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.
Actually the US has 50 legal systems for divorce - one for each state.

That said the last state to support no fault divorces was New York in 2010, so you're right. (Though a no fault divorce option wasn't there for me when I was considering one in 2002.)
I haven't seen that video before, I'm excited to watch it in its entirety.

I've always felt a bit disappointed in myself that I haven't created the kind of optimized experience that Engelbart put forward – like maybe I'm not just being inefficient, but leaving room to overengage with my own distraction.

OTOH, there are limits to our own ability to be engaged and efficient. I am a good typist, which means I can write faster than my own thoughts... do I need to type faster? I could switch to Dvorak, but I don't think that's the limiting factor. Some of the user interfaces Engelbart advocated for feel like the Dvorak of interfaces, optimizing for something that is already past human ability. Looking at some of the interfaces in the Mother Of All Demos, it feels like they would require years of living in the tool to make it worth it, to make it natural and comprehensible and focusing instead of distracting. (I haven't done it, so I might be wrong!)

A high-bandwidth vocal signal feels similar, optimizing past our mental speed, and single-system-focused. At least that's my take on it.
Fashion and status signaling happen in all kinds of ways, and always have. It doesn't have to be only the rich, just look at the status of sneakers amongst low-income Americans. People like to stand out just like animals might have ever bigger horns/peacocks/claws/colors to signal that they're a great mate.

The larger body of work here is called 'signaling theory' and you can see it apply equally between animal and human domains. Pineapples first started as honest signals because only the wealthy could afford them. But once people started renting pineapples they became a dishonest signal, until the economics finally made it crash into either a costly signal (you should know they're no longer in vogue) or a lack of information at all (today).

Matterport | Senior Software Engineer, Frontend/3D | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | REMOTE VISA

Matterport makes a 3D camera and web platform that allows users to easily capture and display 3D models of physical spaces. Check out some example spaces in our gallery: https://matterport.com/gallery

Some interesting facts about us:

* We host over 3,000,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 3PB of data.

* We serve over 90 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 45 billion requests and 2PB of data.

The WebGL team makes our 3D viewing and editing applications for the web and VR. Core technologies include Typescript, THREE.js, WebGL and Preact. The team sits at the very end of our 3D pipeline: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, before REST APIs serve the data to the WebGL and VR applications, which is what the end user sees.

If you have worked with 3D engines before, or if already know "normal" web development quite well, and want to take the next step into the world of 3D and WebGL, send me a note at hakon (at) matterport (dot) com.

Any difference in your dogfooding between Chromium and FF performance? I've got a Pinebook Pro and Chromium seems to load heavy pages considerably faster than FF.

Also-- what's the heat like when, say, playing video on one of the heavier websites? Like Reddit's infinite scroll where various cat videos are just flying past and autoplaying. Not that I've ever gotten caught in that hot loop... :)

Oh man, I did this with my Motorola Razr. I downloaded some version of Civilization. It was awful. The WAP stores were like 1990s web pages - all text, improperly formatted due to the small screen, confusing to navigate. The game itself was almost unusable. The "docs" were a single page text file of instructions poorly translated from Polish to English. I think I also had some version of Prince of Persia. Playing them both was not fun in any way. So yeah, they technically existed, and were basically useless.

Infrared thermometers to screen for Covid: more marketing than medical evidence
Do the math.

The odds of someone targeting you (just for kicks) aren't that high.

But don't tell Glenn Greenwald that cause then he has to go find something else to scare you with, to capture your attention in our current useless "state of fear" preserving info tsunami ecosystem.

But anyway lets do the math...

The US has 200 cops per million. Lets say 1% of that million are born douchebags and there is another 1% who have turned douchebagy for whatever reason.

So you have 200 cops to deal with 20000 bad guys per million. So in general they have enough going on keeping them occupied.

Now even if you assume they don't spend any time doing their job and all of them spend all their time fixating on you and no one else, the chances of them picking on you out of the million other options are still pretty low.

What makes it even lower is if you apply the 2% douchebag rule to the cops themselves, you get probably 2 bad apples in that 200.

But to indulge you lets apply it also to anyone who has access to the same privacy violating tech - bank managers, google engineers, telco engineers, the military, rich ppl etc. Keep adding whatever category you feel like and applying the 2% rule. You wont raise the odds too badly.

Did TVA or their subcontractors violate any of those? Doesn't look like it.
There's no solid rule here though, because it depends on what people actually use their freedom for. That depends on history, upbringing, culture, etc.

It also depends on how large of a system you are talking about, and whether even well-intentioned people can make reasonable decisions. In a village, it might be pretty clear that you have enough farmers but need a fisherman; or that there are enough painters and you need a musician. But in a metropolis, country, or global market it might not be so clear and you need some feedback signals. Price set by the seller is a very effective feedback mechanism because it's so simple, but you could imagine other forms of feedback as well (many of which might be an affront to freedom).

Then there's also the political danger of socialism, which is that you have to give someone (or a group) an awful lot of power to implement it. In theory, democracy will guide politics in a reasonable direction, but in practice democracy is a very imperfect guide. "Implementation details" of socialism are often an affront to freedom.
Sometimes it isn't even a lie. When procrastinating I sometimes have to stop, remind myself that I _enjoy_ programming and figuring out the best way to solve some problem, _this is actually fun_.

And then my brain realizes that that's actually true, it's being silly by procrastinating, and I get to work.

It's strange that it's necessary, but it is.
I don't agree with all enforcement methods, but lets not pretend that California doesn't try to actively impede federal enforcement of immigration laws.

> hinting that any government sub-contractor should abstain from hiring H1Bs and there's no written law that prohibits this. Again pure pettiness.

In this case, the contractors were breaking the law. It doesn't seem unreasonable for federal agencies to not do business with companies breaking the law.

Hi, my name's Matt, I'm a software developer who has been working and studying in France for the past few years, and I'll be moving back to Melbourne at the end of September.

At the moment I'm working as a full-stack developer at the cloud computing company Nuabee. As we're a small team, I've been fortunate enough to work on a diverse range of projects. Although I tend to lean towards the front end side of development, I've been able to work on everything from APIs to continuous integration with DevOps tools.

As someone passionate about learning and improving my skills, I'm searching for a company that will allow me to continue to grow, while also contributing to their success.

> If both spouses agree, they can be divorced immediately. Immediate divorce is also possible in case of...adultery,

According to the article, that is also the case in Japan. It is only contested divorces that require proof of adultery. Now, it may further be the case that contested divorces without something like adultery are easier in Denmark, and that might be the better system, but avoiding outlier cases like this hardly seems like the reason.
We think so too ;)

> Most viruses do form aerosols, and those aerosols do seem to be infectious.

It's my understanding that most don't spread in this fashion. If you're hospitalized with cold/flu, your care team will observe droplet precautions, not aerosol ones.

If you have measles, which spreads via aerosol, they'll be using substantially more gear. The aerosol transmission is also why measles is shockingly easy to spread versus most other diseases.

I think the mental hurdle here is that while the warranty might be short, the fridge doesn't just stop working after the warranty period is over. And if it does, well there's a 100+ year old industry of fridge repair. But, given the track record in software of not just ceasing to support the products but actively killing them, the move into hardware might give one pause as the devices may well be bricked. At least that's my interpretation of my own POV re: almost anything Google wrt service. Then there's the data privacy element...
