There never should be policy that purposely adds temporary competition to American workers with no proven large benefit to society as a whole. Where it the proof? What it seems you’re arguing is that H1B is proven to be absolutely necessary for American companies to be effective, can you back that up? Because in the absence of evidence of it being truly necessary for us to compete, there’s no argument for it existing.

Americans are more than willing to consult and do IT, we are good at it and it’s our bread an butter. China is not importing cheaper labor sources to take over their white collar jobs, no country that cares about its future would make such a short sighted mistake as to distort its own markets to suppress wages of its most valuable sector employees. It’s pure regulatory capture by the big IT consulting firms and big tech firms who have shown time and time again they will do whatever they can do suppress wages.

Apple and Google got caught colluding to suppress wages. Google is one of the biggest proponents of H1B, and yet since they got busted for illegal wage suppression practices, have they been at risk of going under? Have their stock prices dipped?

It’s not small companies who are relying on these H1Bs it’s the Fortune 500, the most successful companies are benefiting from this in majority.

You’re doing a lot of defending of big rich companies in favor of wage suppression and disincentivizing the next generation of American employees from learning tech.

Even from a long term view: do we want to encourage Americans to move into tech or no? Does this policy increase incentives for Americans to learn IT or no? Simple questions.

And if you truly believe the big companies can’t thrive without 40% more expensive IT (which wouldn’t even be the case, in house firms would optimize over time to compete better), then advocate for higher legal full immigration - at least then Americans win in the long run by retaining good talent. But you need to prove that it’s necessary first, and then you should argue for full legal immigration and be happy H1B are going down.

The only people happy with H1B are those who think indentured servants should be imported to America to suppress wages and save big companies extra bottom line. Even if you support importing more white collar jobs, you should be happy at this news.

I've only recently started to come around to liking the piano as an instrument and learning my around it a bit. This article touches on some the things that kept me away from it for so long - the mechanical nature of what is regarded as "good" playing, the focus on training up finger strength. But if I'm being honest, the number one thing that kept me away was that piano just seemed so... uncool.

Watching youtube vids with killer piano covers of songs I actually love (ex, this cover of Toxcity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1g2c2760oM ) has been helpful in disabusing me of that bias though. I watched a few of Glenn Gould's videos and they were pretty great as well, but for whatever reason classical music never seems to do as much for me.

No. You'd see volatility and a price drop until someone goes bankrupt, and then the system is back where it was before. Good luck finding an investor for that.

Why the market fetishism? The state of affairs needs price controls.

Prices do drop with innovation. Consider the praziquantel story. The compound was discovered in the early 1970s by a Bayer-Merck joint venture as part of a discovery effort for tranquilizers. It wasn't psychoactive but very efficaceous against flatworms (schistosoma and tapeworm) and then promptly shelved because of its high price, the synthetic route was complicated.

South Korea had a schistosoma problem at that time and couldn't pay Bayer for the compound or patent license, in the early 1970s Korea was still a threshold country, so at first they pirated it and then, because the original isoquinoline route required expensive starting materials the Koreans developed their own route. The glycine route made it possible to produce it cheaply for their own people and also opened up the worldwide veterinary market. This was actually the foundation for the Korean chemical industry.

The market works. It's well understood, just it works not in the way you think.
Durability in a class of products has a tendency to correlate with the realms of quality I personally care about in my experience. YMMV of course. My selection attributes are invariably different from yours.

Personally, I assign a higher "durability" to a product if it is easily repairable. Parts and schematics/instructions are readily available, at reasonable cost for generations. Ideally seven generations or engineering blueprints released once parts are discontinued. If necessary, I can Ship of Theseus-repair such products over time, which I'm okay with as long as the time between repairs is roughly about the time for less-durable products to break into irreparable junk (without an extensive fabrication shop, which I'm oh-so-ever-slowly building up but could never justify the cost of on that repair capability basis alone).

Most products I select on this durability basis tend to have been in the market for a long time and have a lot of thought refined into their design over that time. I suspect durability raising the cost means the manufacturer has to compete on other axes like usability, functionality, listening and incorporating customer field/operational experience, and overall value by marketing uses it can be put to. Functionality tends to take a hit, especially with commercial-grade gear (compare a commercial restaurant microwave to a consumer model), so I go in with that expectation; sometimes more features is just more fiddly bits to break.

Mostly I do this because I'm utterly fascinated by the shape of design decisions that stand the test of time, and I'm compensated sufficiently to pay for it. Partly I do this because our species faces an energy cliff within an absurdly brief blink of geologic time, and I wish we could keep increasing amounts of stuff out of landfills.
At around the same time, 1990 - 1992, a partner and I made a rack mounted utility unit that included a tuner, a metronome, surge protected outlets and rack lights. We used buttons almost identical to these from Digi-Key. Mouser was also a big vendor of ours.
> You get a lot of that on Mac though (well, less so on the gaming front, but Macs have some apps that aren't on Windows too). But that's "real" Linux, so you don't have to spend time installing GNU tooling or fighting with brew.

So instead I can run IntelliJ under WSL2? Nope, not until there's a performant X server. Ok, so under Windows, pointed at my Linux filesystem? Wouldn't there be dos2unix file format issues there? And it sounds like it's painfully slow for now until they fix the networking.

But this is somehow better than having to "brew install" a few things? I'm very eager to try this out, but I think WSL3 might be a better starting point.
I've always thought of it like the 'denominator' of probability for the second stage became 2/3 (vs. the usual/first stage 1).

So when he reveals a goat door you know that door is certainly not a winner, 0 probability (of 2/3), and the switch door is certainly (if it were one of those) the winner, 1 probability (of 2/3).

But I still used to manage to confuse myself thinking it's intuitively 'more likely' to be the original door 'now' that it isn't one of the others.

Until I studied information theory at university and it really clicked - Monty's door choice has lower entropy than your initial pick!

(But I acknowledge you can't say to the masses 'look look let's simplify this, if we just step back and take an information theoretic approach -')

It violates the principle of free speech (even if it does not violate the letter of the law in the first amendment). There is nothing inherently bad about paying $1000 (or $1M) for a political ad.

For a mental image, someone paying for a political ad could be running for school board in a medium sized city. A ban on all political ads would restrict that person's ability to explain why they want to be on the school board, and would restrict that person's ability to advocate for new policies in their school district. Why do you want to impose a ban on this?

> Why have we decided that untrustworthy, sometimes poorly managed organizations are acceptable when operating in the interests of shareholders, but not when operating in the interests of workers?

The thing is, acting in the interests of shareholders is often acting in the interests of workers as well. Many workers are compensated using stock (RSUs/options/etc) which makes them shareholders. Even if that weren't true, for publicly-traded companies, employees are free to invest their compensation into company stock if they so choose and can then both vote on shareholder resolutions and share in the company's success (or failure). And even if that weren't the case, acting in the interest of shareholders helps sustain jobs and create space for raises by attracting investment.

With unions, there are a few major issues I see, at least in the US implementation of unions:

- First, they often institute parallel management systems and sets of rules that govern the business. It can make work more complex/rigid. These rules also often tend to favor employee traits like tenure. Over time they turn into something of a pyramid scheme, with the newer employees indirectly subsidizing more senior employees.

- They can create unnecessarily inefficient labor. For instance, I've heard stories from friends in manufacturing about how only certain employees are allowed to perform certain mundane tasks under the guise of 'safety', even though anyone could do it. It can be infuriating to hold work or delay customers due to rules like this.

- Unions erode individualism and localized control in favor of institutional control. Unions can become a conduit for implementing political stances as a result. For example, the NEA (largest teachers union in America) has taken a public stance on supporting critical race theory, including introducing factually incorrect/biased material like the NYT's "1619 project" into classrooms (https://neaedjustice.org/the-1619-project-resource-page/). [Note I am not looking to debate this point here, but am just offering it as an example of activism using a union as a way to route political stances broadly, instead of allowing independent localized control]

- Unions erode competition in the market. This is especially problematic for public sector unions, where taxpayers have no choice but to fund a particular public organization. In general, I do not favor unions having exclusive rights to labor at a company. If there were multiple unions competing alongside non-union workers, that would be a more balanced/healthier situation.

Ultimately I am not sure why unions have special provisions under the law. Workers seeking unionization are all free to form their own company renting out their labor services to customers. They get to act as a group, and negotiate as a group, but are still subject to choice and competition. Under this model, for those who don't agree with a union for whatever reason, they have the freedom to sell their labor as individuals or as a company. This seems like a much better situation than having large number of workers subject to tyranny of the majority within the bounds of an exclusive union contract.

In fairness to Tesla, the cars are relatively simple and last a long time (as long as the batteries don't fail.) But more to the point, if competing manufacturers can't get serious about competing with Tesla, then Tesla isn't under pressure to change its practices.

It does matter. If you are looking at a single instance where Monty got lucky and chose a goat door, then the probability that the door you have chosen has the car is 1/2, and switching doesn't change anything. This can easily be tested: just write a simulation that runs the experiment with Monty choosing a random door, and discard the instances where the game was "ruined" because he picked the car. In the remaining instances, both strategies will perform the same.

This sounds great. But I first heard of these guys last year around this time when they announced their "NAWACap Ultracapacitors" where you could get a 1000F capacitor with a .1 mOhm ESR @ 1kHz. That was when they announced they were in production. So I reached out to the various distributors I used and put in cash-ok sample request[1] for one. Not a peep in 10 months. It is entirely possible that someone came in and said, "We will buy every capacitor you can make for the foreseeable future." but that generally results in causing the manufacturer to ramp up capacity to maximize revenue until there is excess capacity :-).

So what is the deal? Can they build stuff or are they a bunch of scientists who can get something working in the lab or one-off and fail miserably at making it a product? (They would be in good company to be sure if this were the case, just it helps to be a bit more forthright about.) The other argument against the hypothesis that someone is buying everything they build is that they have yet to show up in the Thomas register[2]. If their entire capacity was booked they would have quite the revenue stream.

You can of course buy carbon nanotube arrays[3] made to order, the last time I checked (about 2 years ago) they were over $5,000 qty 1. So not something I'd make into a general availability product. But if the NAWA guys can actually print these sheets with no trouble at all maybe Aldrich could use them as a supplier and get the price down to something more accessible?

I'm really interested in a reasonably high voltage (say 48V+ super capacitor in the 800 - 1000F range) even better if it weighs less than 50 lbs. But I've got a railgun out back that doesn't do squat without a 500kW power source.

[1] Basically this is saying you're willing to pay list price for quantity 1 to get a sample, as opposed to demanding a free sample which involves lying about market opportunity :-)

[2] https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/top-suppliers/capacitor-m... These guys basically have teams of people trying to figure out where to get stuff, so they usually know who is actually shipping.

As you might have noticed, voting is no guarantee that good leaders are elected, nor does it necessarily prevent corruption.

"We the people" is a founding myth, and it's our myth, but it's still a political myth similar to the divine right of kings, a way of justifying the rule of the many by the few. The leaders are not the masses, no matter what anyone pretends.

- I hate Elon now because of his nonsensical tweets and trying hard to stay cool and relevant

- Tesla's false promises on Autopilot and Full Self Driving is a disgrace. They are at-least 20 years away from anything resembling close to L4, but still somehow siphon $8k from buyers with a false promise

- Model 3 is the BEST car I have ever driven. It is awesome, and I would recommend anyone in a heartbeat

After working on and maintaining several very large codebases, I would strongly disagree. When large blocks of code start being called only for their side-effects then refactoring/deleting old code gets pretty tricky.

Conversely, when writing green-fields code, side effects are extremely convenient and make developers more productive in the very short-term.
