A socialite I can get behind. Imagine modern socialites doing the same!! Like, for example, Paris Hilton to invent cool new tech stuff instead of being famous for "one night in Paris".
Would you mind sharing a source for your research? Anecdotally, there are plenty of pigs running around the national forests in East Texas, and no shortage of land owners who are happy to have hunters and hog-doggers volunteer to clear them out. Outside of deer season, anyway.
Maybe because when people get their first dishwasher, they are single and it takes days to get a full load? When food hardens overnight they work a lot less well.
Also, my colleagues called my Gunnars my "hunting glasses" because both have a yellow tint to them.
Lync is "Skype for Business" now, afaik.

And I think communication is one of the more open stacks. WebEx? Zoom? Slack? WeChat?
There was no argument made for ethnocentricity, nor for stopping a global exchange of ideas. This response seems very non sequitur.

> The international collaborations that it thrives on are largely formed via exchange of students.

1) Students are on F visas, so they are unaffected by H1B changes.

2) There is no magical reason that students educated in another country in this day and age have a markedly different tradition of thinking about fundamental science. The internet has largely erased the differences in access to the latest research in top institutions around the world so the only thing that remains needed for high quality research is a pool of bright people. Perhaps there are some educational tradition differences between Europe and the US but US postdocs are largely educated in the US itself so those differences aren't really affecting current US research anyway.

3) Given the current labor and supply demand in academia, this pool of bright people can be satisfied by either US researchers or foreign researchers, and since there is ample choice between the two, the research of great import still gets done by just as many smart people as before, so once again, I fail to see the "problem" for great research being done.
Whatever situation you vote for there always a trade off.
Totally agree. Watch a course like this, read something like Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus P. Thompson, and then work through all the problems in a book like Calculus Workbook For Dummies. Watch Khan Academy to fill in any areas where you're struggling.
Maybe it doesn't dry enough to remove all moisture, and there's mold/mildew in some of the rubber areas, like what happens in washers.
I think you’re missing something essential. There are only a limited number of H1B visas awarded each year, and they are awarded by lottery. Far, far more applications are submitted than slots are available, and most applications are rejected. After this change the number of H1B visas awarded isn’t likely to go down.
Google falls down flat unless you know "magic words". Example... let's say you want to be able to mark up a web page to highlight some aspect of it, like using a highlighter on a newspaper... you can't google hypertext markup... you have to go for "annotation"

Growing Google-fu is like getting good at smelling bad code, it takes experience, which you get via frustration and the application of gumption.
Most Bosch washers have adjustable racks. It's great.
However the best solution would be the replace h1b with just citizenship - if you have rare skills why shouldn't we offer immediate citizenship to the talented?
>It was a GC via marriage though, rules ma be different for employer sponsored GCs

Rules are indeed different for Employment based green cards. Marriage based green cards don't have a limit while the number of employment based Green cards that can be given out in a year is fixed ( in total and within that there is a 7% cap on how much each individual country can receive)

People stuck this way from India & China aren't even able to file for GC's. You can only file for a GC if your country's date is "current" (which is not the case for marriage based GC)

Their only legal basis to stay in the US is the H1-B which they can keep on renewing because they have an approved I-140. In my current situation, i have an approved immigrant petition and i will have to continue to get H1-Bs approved
till i get current (which current projections are about 40-50
years). I've been in the US for a decade and it will be many many decades before i can remove the dependence on the H1.

The math is simple - there are about 400K Indians with approved immigrant petitions. And across 2 categories the maximum number of green cards that Indians can receive in a year is about ~6K. Each petition is roughly 2 green cards

So if an Indian gets an immigrant visa approved today in 2020 , they're looking at wait of 800/6 (133) years even be able to file for a green card.

I have not had a cold for the last year, presumably because of the restrictions that are in place. I had begun to worry what will happen the next time I encounter germs, I guess this supports my concern.
One of the nominators said:

"Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict."

Isn't this significant?

And if you're accused of murder, Facebook can use their free speech to censor anyone fundraising money for your defense, and crowdfunding sites and payment processors can use their free speech and freedom of association, and refuse to process any donations you receive: https://reclaimthenet.org/facebook-blocks-givesendgo-kyle-ri...

And if you're black, a business can use their freedom of association and refuse- oh, no, wait, no they can't. That would be a problem. Even though the constitution allows it. But this, this isn't.
> I don't think this needs an invention

Cabinets with integrated dishwashers would be something... Look like cabinets from outside, but with racks inside and once filled with dirty dishes, seal and wash everything. Not a bad idea.
I personally know of a few people and one company that moved away from .net and reinvented themselves (Node.js and Go). I also can't seem to find too many .net developers in my network neither. I would love to hear any counter arguments.

I was trying to say that installing a closed-source program with admin privileges is technically a bigger security risk than allowing Microsoft's telemetry, and it's arguably a bigger privacy risk as well.

I don’t care for QAnon one bit, but what surprised me here is that Facebook has labeled QAnon a “militarized social movement” (https://about.fb.com/news/2020/08/addressing-movements-and-o...), which seems like a vague and overly broad label. FB has banned accounts even if there is no violent content, simply due to affiliation with QAnon, per this new policy on militarized social movements.

This seems like selective enforcement given that there are large numbers of groups used by protesters/rioters of various affiliations (BLM, antifa, police defunding groups, etc) that are still permitted to operate on Facebook-owned platforms despite issuing calls for (or support of) violence and criminal acts. The official Facebook blog post claims to have banned many antifa-related pages and groups, but numerous such pages remain, including prominent ones with clearly proven records of criminality.

For example, the everyday march groups in Seattle (https://instagram.com/morningmarchseattle), which are BLM-affiliated, are still allowed to operate on the platform, even though they regularly hijack public infrastructure. This is despite their role in dangerous incidents like trapping drivers in a tunnel recently (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/742848253?t=00h35m36s) and terrorizing residents at their home by demanding they leave the neighborhood (https://nypost.com/2020/08/14/seattle-blm-protesters-demand-...). I see far more concrete, actual violence from rioters/antifa/BLM-affiliated groups than with QAnon, which seems more like a distant joke. Shouldn’t Facebook revise their priorities accordingly?
I finished David's latest book [0], and I've been trying to find the quote where he says if Trump wins without the popular vote again then that may cause the majority of Americans to "impose their will" on the nation regardless.

Do you recall? I've been seeking to clarify his thoughts there.

They are the most prolific mass murderers of animals in the western world. My vegetarian (cat owning) friend got very upset when I pointed this out.
That sounds fairly urban legendy, though it can depend on the user and their anatomy, of course.

I know many people who've used or worked with these devices for years and that has not been the case for them.

That said, due to the types of cage mechanics, weight and makeup of different cage materials, etc, there is definitely the possibility of some physical issues, including some nerve issues. It usually just things like skin irritations and discomfort though.

These days, there are a LOT of knockoffs of the major brands (like the Holy Trainer series) that are made with seriously questionable materials that don't have temperature tolerance/reforming, are missing edge filleting, etc. So if you do decide to engage in this sort of play, do your homework, read reviews, talk to communities, and don't order some random cheap thing off AliExpress.

That already exists. Cabinets are just doors and finishes; the cabinet maker can add them to your dishwasher.
I have built an M1 sponge from business cards and I cannot fathom the thought of one person doing an M3 in miniature.
The regulations on the wash cycles, including water volume, time, energy, and detergents, are very restrictive. Older units were not subject to the same regulations.

For example, due to laws in California most commercial dish detergents won’t contain TSP (trisodium phosphate). I’ve been adding a bit of powdered TSP with the detergent pod to each load and it seems to have improved the results.
what programming specific macros do you use?
I had good amount of low-level programming experience with Z80 and x86 assembly, including implementing my own bootloader for a file system design of my own. I got the basic data structures and algorithms down and finally, I passed the interview. I had about 10 years of professional development experience when I was hired.
Get to know a sympathetic university professor in the area you're interested in. They can help you publish, including, vitally, providing feedback on the work that you've done and how it fits into the current state of the art in the discipline. And they can advocate for you and get you into a grad program at their schools. Honestly just find a few that have research areas that match what you're doing and email or call them.
Google Cloud Run doesn't provide nearly the same features as Heroku. For example, there is no easy way to manage secrets with Cloud Run. There is no way to run a worker process. Integration with other Google Cloud things like Cloud SQL is clunky. Cloud Run is okay to get started but almost all apps will need more.
Are you pre-rinsing your dishes before loading them in the dishwasher?

Have you run a "cleaning" cycle? Here's one guide on google, not sure if it works https://www.today.com/series/how-often-should-you/how-clean-...

Do you open your dishwasher as soon as the cycle is done? For best results, according to my layman's opinion, make sure to open it and even pull out the racks / give the top rack a nice shake / check for any water left in recipients
I have the exact same problem and have gone down the exact same rabbit hole with no real solution.

Fully disassembling (essentially uninstalling), cleaning, and sanitizing everything that touches water seems to fix it for a few cycles, but it slowly comes back over time.

The problem has followed me across states, houses, and dishwashers. I’m assuming it’s modern enzymatic detergent like you suggest.

Slightly more frustrating is that not everyone seems to smell it, or not as strongly as I seem to. It’s like dishwashers everywhere are gaslighting me.
That's what countries like Canada has, while they do have a work visa program, getting permanent residency is actually easier for talented folks.
I think we should be expanding the H1-B program, but it is already oversubscribed and if this can reduce applications to the point where the lottery is not needed or is much more certain, I think that would be an improvement.
Have you looked at a double drawer dishwasher:

Or if you eat fresh foods.
My read was that OP was saying “kinda average” are typically in “indentured servitude” jobs.

Superstars can pay back money owed back home from an Amazon bonus... not sure if OP meant “from the start” or “if they bailed from indentured servitude job”.
He probably forgot to turn off the instances and kept getting charged.
Paris Hilton is famous for:

1) Being a (mildly) successful actress

2) Being a model

3) Being an incredibly successful DJ (she was the highest paid DJ in the world in 2014, with a residence in Ibiza from 2013 to 2017)

4) Owning a perfume line that's brought over 3 billion US Dollars in revenue

I sincerely dislike defending rich people online, but it's weird to see an entrepreneur as successful as Paris being bashed in HN of all places.
>but you can't openly start a social media campaign against your employer and expect to keep your job.

Provided 1. the information is public, 2. You do this on your own time, and 3. you do not reference your position as an employee in the context of your campaign, I really do not see why not.*

What is the point of freedom of political speech if your employer can trample all over it? How long until employers just mandate in contracts that all political speech must be cleared by HR?

*generally speaking of course, I did not read that twitter thread.
To my knowledge, steel guitars typically don't even have frets, so it would be essentially impossible.

How often do you clean the filter in the sump?
I wish so much I could work less days even if I was getting paid less, but nobody wants someone not doing 5 days it seems like.
Grabbing things out of a cabinet is easier than grabbing things out of a dishwasher. And I think other things would need to change to make it work above ground level, e.g. sealing with side swinging doors. But there is certainly a market for something like this, albeit in the $100,000 range.
Are you insinuating the US’s tax structure is preferential, worse, or just different? Again, you stated a statistic but it wasn’t immediately clear what the larger point you were getting at
Half of the world's French speakers are Africans who learned it for free. I'd be curious to see the demographics of Canadian visa awards - I wonder if this actually helps them be a little more open to immigrants from Africa than they would be otherwise.

Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life
Thank you for that quote, it's something I've been struggling with in my professional life for a while now. In moving to better-paid, senior, more specialist roles a kind of pervasive apathy sets in as less and less time spent could be linked to the real world in any kind of depth.

It's possible to shake the feeling somewhat if the work tempo is high and you can tie it to some overall notion of societal benefit. I also suspect it's responsible for the manifestation of desires to move back to the land, work with one's hands, and generally check out from contribution to society and the world at large. I suppose that instinct often gets channeled into day dreams of an eventual retirement.

Similar commentary from Marx on Abstract Labour.
When their work and pay are dictated by the platform, they are not independent of it, and are de facto employees.

Making the work they do and their pay something they decide and just obtain via the platform (just facilitated by it) then they’re actually independent of it.
Not only is it not fast, Vitrification is still just a decades-old folk-tale that sounds good (and 'promising').

I've been using Google App Engine as the backend of my scratch-my-own-itch Android app. Granted it only has 60+ active users (according to Google Play Console) but my monthly bill for that has always been <$1 (the parts that's not free are secret manager and storage to store my deploys).

You can even run multiple App Engine apps for mostly free, because their free tier is calculated based on the actual instance-hours running, and with App Engine you can configure it to that when you don't get any traffic there's no instance running (they spin up a new one when there's a new request in that case).
I live in Albany, NY. My neighbor is a teacher in a rural district about 35 miles to the southwest. 65% of students don’t have internet, and many don’t have phones at home as the landline network rots away and is expensive. ($60/mo unless you qualify for food stamps)

So they are parking school busses in areas with cell signal with hotspots for kids to do work and mailing or distributing paper for kids to work on.

In the city, I think ~30% lack internet, which is gross considering that 90% of the population is within a few hundred yards of extensive fiber optic infrastructure laid to support the state government and universities.
Thank you.

People thinking this is some kind of "good move" need to try to remember what administration they're talking about. If you don't understand the play, it's not because you're not being played.

This quote style in YAML is its best feature, IMO.

It's not massively useful for k8s outside of config maps, but for other uses of YAML, it's great for embedding snippets of other languages that would otherwise need quoting.
The fixing of the H1B ship sailed 20 years ago. It sailed around the world, came back and set sail again. There is no fixing this cluster fuck of a system. It has raped my industry and my potential earnings for 20 fucking years.
Reading through the details of this release, I have to say this sort of functional backend/compiler/performance, etc style releases make the whole product as a whole better in the long run. This tick/tock approach to releases is what every software project should strive for.

Too many consumer focused products become obsessively new-feature driven development [1], often to have new things to announce, or to appease the loudest whining customers/industry critics of the day (operating systems like MacOS, Windows, and mobile platforms are the classic examples).

Much like in the design world where saying "no" often and pushing back against fanciness is critical, the same in software for pushing towards general structural improvement iterations is key to making good software.

[1] Ignoring of course the bug-fixing-driven development cycle that many projects get trapped in.
The $10B figure is for Android licensing and hardware sales, and doesn’t include app revenue or the play store, which OEM’s don’t have to include e.g. in China where Google’s services are all banned. If the Play store went with Android to a new spinoff company that would certainly be a more financially viable company, but that’s a much, much more invasive dismantling of Google than separating out Android the OS and hardware platform. Once a proposed division gets deep enough to be partitioning datacenters it becomes less a discussion of spin-off companies and more a discussion of abolishing Google and seeing where the pieces fall.
I think its just you. Lots of people use Heroku, I have like 4-5 apps deployed on it, and I know quite a few smaller companies that were completely on it last I checked.
I don't know if there would still be 350,000,000 interested after the first 350,000,000 arrive. Interesting to think about how that number would change based on America's changes.

> Unfortunately, this is ripe for abuse. You're basically allowing educational institutions to sell green cards. If you thought almost-unlimited-student-loans inflated education prices, you don't even want to see what selling green cards would do

That's pretty much how it's done in Australia. It props up a massive industry (education was the fourth largest export in 2018-2019) whilst ensuring a supply of qualified applicants for residency.

Prices for locals are still set by the government. So, whilst there is inflation, disadvantage to locals is limited to there being fewer places available to them. Whether it's morally okay is another question but the economics seem to work out pretty well.
