This is based on existing farming practices and the second and third order effects of using crop land. It’s entirely possible to grow plants without harming animals, but it’s impossible to eat meat without harm (barring research into lab-grown meat)

One can envision a future where more crops can grown on a smaller footprint with future agricultural developments (e.g hydroponics, multi level farms, etc)

It also ignores the fact that the production of red meat is incredibly bad for the environment, and one of the large contributors to greenhouse gases.

This argument feels similar to criticisms of electric cars because generating energy currently hurts the environment, but this ignores the future potential of widespread renewable energy, with which petroleum vehicles are incompatible.

> I struggle to see how your idea would be better for any Americans

A rising tide (growing economy) lifts all boats. Think of all the services that would need to expand -- markets, restaurants, hair salons, etc.

Furthermore, immigrants contribute more to the tax base than citizens because they pay the same income taxes without getting all the deductions, they pay sales taxes and other taxes, and do not get the same benefits.

It's well established that an immigrant with a job is a net contributor to both the economy and the tax base.

Do this thought experiment -- so many immigrants come to the US and contribute so much to the tax base that there is enough to pay every US citizen $75,000 a year in UBI and provide universal healthcare for citizens. Now you can do whatever you want, work or not, it doesn't matter.

That's why it's good for citizens.

I'm one that believes that we need to unlink health care, child care and sick leave from the jobs we have. It's unfair that just because you have the right job you can get those benefits. I also think that Uber and the like, by passing prop 22, are trying to short circuit the system so they can profit from not having to give benefits to workers by having society pick up the costs of not providing benefits. They need to disrupt the benefits system too and figure out a way for workers to work and get what they need.

Prop 22 is the wrong way to do it. It should not pass.
You can do that today. Set up shell companies and apply for H1B visas. But at the end of the day those people still need an actual job or they won't have any money to live.

I find it hard to believe on face value that foreign researchers are necessarily better than US researchers; especially given the number of both foreign and domestic university graduates from U.S universities is much less than the available postdoc and professorship appointments in STEM.
On the comment regarding "p-hacking". I think that is a separate issue altogether and irrelevant to the discussion. Universities have essentially become businesses and they push scientists to "publish or perish". If anything, it is a case for democratizing science even more.

> K-12 schooling in America is paid through property taxes.

That’s probably not true exclusively anywhere in America, and it's not true predominantly in a number of parts of America.

For instance, in California less than 1/4 comes of K-12 funding comes from local property taxes, and the absolute majority comes from State funds which are derived primarily from state income taxes.

In many U.S. states a gun safe or other secure storage isn't required. (And even when required people don't necessarily obey it.) Getting your gun might be as simple as grabbing it off the living room wall. It might even already be loaded. Even in households with children--that's why accidents happen.

Of course, I didn't mean to deny that, actually I was out of my field for some time at one point, and I was working as a waiter to just to pay the bills. On the other hand, I've seen people on skilled visa who never actually worked a day in their nominated occupation.

My previous comment is more related to the fact that some migrants that follow the rules, may suffer from the fact that other migrants don't - for example at first my wife could not join me in Australia, because she comes from a country which had a high number of irregular applications in the past and for this reason that country is now considered "higher risk".

For this reason, many migrants are actually in favour of stricter regulations.

This fact is often not evident if you're not a migrant yourself, that's why I wanted to bring it up.
I don't think we disagree with it, it just isn't very significant. A couple of city states agreeing to recognize Israel? Ok, a nice step forward, but it doesn't seem very substantial or that a real solution is in the works.

My immediate go-to answer for that question would be Guthrie Govan. He can shred with anyone, but also can do incredibly delicate picking work, and can play in the context of almost any genre you could name - blues, folk, jazz. His blending of techniques goes way beyond EVH (but undoubtedly bears some debt too). This is probably Govan's most famous single-take solo, but he has oodles of other work at this level (though not necessarily in this style);

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaH2C2Qe97Y

Before him, Shawn Lane (RIP) was technically far beyond EVH, but ditched the southern speed metal he came up playing and got interested in indian classical music. Lane died young in 2003, but leaves behind an interesting legacy of work for those us interested in something far outside of "rock", but ultimately strongly indebted to it.

You can find old videos of him shredding in the late 1990s when he was often said to be the fastest ever. This is from his work with Jonas Hellborg and two indian percussionists. The first link is to one of his more melodic sections, the second is more virtuosic and microtonal:

https://youtu.be/8gTSCXur8rA?t=377

Also, shout out to Tosin Abasi:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTi9y2-VnNY

he's definitely more directly indebted to EVH, but more modern and arguably more technique, technology and maybe just a shade more jazz.

Further, or maybe differently, outside the of "rock" scope, and on acoustic guitar, people like Kaki King have taken the "extended technique" approach of Michael Hedges and run with it. She is off-the scale talented, although to be fair a lot of her music doesn't connect with me.

How would this reduce immigration? 85k people will still move to US from H1B every year after these changes, it just will be different 85k people from before unless they change the number.
I'm aware of the Xeon D line, but sadly that was also squarely aimed at the enterprise albeit maybe a smaller scale enterprise. It's not something you can easily go out and buy any more, and when you do it's both very expensive, still PC sized, and not any more power efficient at idle or configured TDP when compared to a new Intel workstation or new AMD setup.
> H1B visas are very important for foreign students in these fields particularly those hoping to pursue careers in academia.

Academia is a great example of how opening up a domestic job market to The Entire World suppresses wages and drives competition for relatively modest paying jobs through the roof.

If every job market in the US worked like the Academic job market, the country would be hell on earth.
Anecdotally, I would not say that prices increased due to this specifically. Margins were slightly affected but we made it up in volume.

It incentivized better utilizing data to make smarter choices, and even looking into packaging efficiencies to reduce the volume of the package (and incur less storage and fulfillment costs)
> We need to rather argue that the moral cost and side-effects of public surveillance far outweighs its usefulness.

The argument I make is that it is more cost effective to develop a society where one does not need to commit crimes to get by in the first place. Law enforcement is reactionary and can only punish when crimes are already committed. While we shouldn't get rid of law enforcement, because crime will always exist, let's look to societies that have low crime (and societies that have high crime) and see what we can learn from them (and improve upon). Such policy is far more advantageous for citizens.

As an American I do not qualify for either of those things but have to pay into it, you need to pay into the system for 40 quarters (10 years), and meet other requirements. It is currently underfunded and most likely wont have much money left by the time I could withdraw. If you have a higher income and/or a spouse that works you generally pay in more than you will get back in benefits as well because it is a progressive safety net system. I've seen many people see the high salaries and the good quality of living in the US, but many of these things take high taxes to pay for.

I see, right. This is curious.
I have a couple things wrong with this statement.

1. You picked a profession which has a _shockingly low number_ of positions, and extreme requirements (including citizenship). This is basically a straw-man argument.

2. Astronauts have an incredibly high bar, and could come to the US if they wanted to anyways. Typically, astronauts have at least one (or multiple) PhDs. If you can get to the US as an astronaut, you are self-sponsor for a EB-1 or an O-1.

3. No, they wouldn't. Astronauts in the US must be (unless things have changed) US citizens.

Military astronaut candidates are U.S. citizens and commissioned officers with at least five years of active duty service.
This report is pretty clearly bipartisan if you read it. There’s a growing consensus on these issues.
H1B holders are not immigrant, and it is very hard to get a green card from an h1b.
They handled the fallout very well. Completely rolled it back and gave a heartfelt apology that actually just said sorry. I think we should forgive them, as long as the good behavior continues.
> I’m assuming that the person I’m speaking to is an honest interlocutor.

OK, but you have taken it upon yourself to assume that. I never asked you to assume it. It is entirely possible that the person you are talking to is not being honest. They could be gaslighting you. It is even possible that they are not a person. They could be a shape-shifting space alien disguising themselves as a person as part of a grand conspiracy to prevent you from discovering the fact that you are a 13-dimensional being with super-powers who would take over the universe if you became aware of your true nature.

So... among these two theories which I have now proposed to explain your observations, which do you think is more likely?
Bad analogy and I believe you misunderstood what the parent comment said. They didn't say that an equal number of jobs were created. Just that the wage didn't drop due to the increase in average productivity & new economic activity.

1) Why is unfair? If there is one speech, but 3 candidates. And the AI predicted based on past performances, why is it unfair? (It is a bad decision for you, or the AI could be making a poor decision based on data/algorithm limitations, but it is not unfair, the AI doesn't favor anyone outside of the data it's given). 2) AI doesn't make the decision that you can't give speeches. AI gives truthful predictions assuming the data is truthful. But it is your boss who uses the results to make that decision. The ethics part is on your boss using what data/algo to make such a prediction to determine who should go. Why would you blame the AI instead of the boss?
I live in a rural area and have many friends who hunt deer and other game.

I expect if the need arose, many of these would help thin the feral hog population with little incentive. (Maybe free access to land, or even a discounted hunting license for next year.) It wouldn't take much.
I see a lot asking for the specific salary numbers but no answers. I believe (could be wrong) that the required wage increase for old->proposed new H1B requirements changes would be close to the below examples:

1)Software Developer in Chicago - Old $71k->New $105k

2)Software Developer in San Francisco - Old $96k->New $145k

My Opinion:

1.
Free trade is generally good. That includes things, people and ideas. But the effects of immigration policies are very uneven throughout society.

Imagine if the US had 200 qualified TV meteorologists. If the US opens its borders to unlimited TV meteorologists from the developing country of Meteoroligistan, what would the effects be? It's pretty clear that the news networks would be able to hire cheaper meteorologists. Because the meteorologists are cheaper, the news networks would also hire more of them. TV viewers would then get better, more frequent weather forecasts. The networks and the consumers win! But conventional wisdom says that the original 200 qualified meteorologists here lose.

But I kind of think conventional wisdom may be wrong. I'm not sure there aren't significant second order effects. With so many meteorologists, maybe the US becomes the world's capital of TV weather people. Maybe because of that, new weather companies are formed and new opportunities arise for those original 200. This really seems to be what has happened in the technology industry.

2.

It seems completely dumb bring in some of the most talented students from abroad, train them at our universities and then send them home. H1B is primarily how these students stay in the country. Without H1B most of these bright students will go elsewhere after graduation.

3.

And for the humanity of the H1B program. I'm mixed...

The worst parts about being in the H1B program: uncertainty, stamping process, delays, the constant fear of losing a job and being kicked out within weeks - serve no benefit at all for any side.

But to my most controversial thought which I have no data to support. I see many H1B workers who feel entitled to so much from the US without feeling any sense of gratefulness back to the US. Unlike many of our Grandparents who immigrated here and who seemed to feel grateful for their new country - I get the feeling many H1B workers+current immigrants are here just because it's a good place to make some cash. They don't take the time to appreciate what this country is and what it has given them. Maybe that's fair given that the H1B program also seems to view them as temporary labor.

To the H1B holders who have been here for years, had children here, bought a house and just yearn to be part of the American dream - I'm sorry our country hasn't given you the stability that you desired when you arrived.

> If it's harder for foreign people to become postdocs/profs in the US, the quality of US research will fall. Quickly.

I sincerely believe exactly the opposite. The best and brightest in the USA avoid research academia because the quality of life is terrible and the pay is below average. Like, "all my students make more in their first year than I make with a PhD and 20 years of successful research" is a common lament among CS profs everywhere outside of the top tier of R1.

Meanwhile, the "graduate school as a ticket into the country" incentive structure creates a lot of pathological behavior among the foot soldiers of academia.

Why I choose Erlang:

- simpler syntax: there’s no Erlang program that you can’t read after getting comfortable with the language. Seriously. Go read OTP source or Ryaks, everything is extremely clear and explicit. To me, easier to read also means less bugs.

- It’s so different from other languages that, IMO, it makes it easier to “think in Erlang”; the syntax fits so well the semantics that I find it easier to think in terms of processes, patterns and the ocasional recursion when switching from other language (most Erlangers are polyglots IME).

*Edit: Reliable network services (Erlangs sweet spot) are much easier to write and maintain when written in a clear and explicit way. I love macros (consider myself a lisper actually) but I think they’re the wrong tool when writing bullet proof network servers (macros are basically everywhere in Elixir).
That is insanely complicated. I know it would cost a lot of governmemt jobs to simplify, but, why not just a lottery for a set number? Or a set salary floor?

One thing I don’t understand is the ridiculously low “entry level” wage set at 17%. Those are the jobs we need to protect the most to get disadvantaged americans into the pipeline. 17% is the zone of broad mis-classification, like a ‘computer systems analyst’ that works at the library, or academic jobs, or sweat equity workers.

The US needs way more software engineers than is has, and sky-high salaries are the evidence of this. I think we should make it easier for people to come and work in the US.

The existing H1B system works pretty well for employers and employees. When I hear people describe H1B immigrants as somehow taken advantage of, their experience seems far different than mine (I have never seen people mistreated by the system).

The idea that this system makes it harder for native software engineers seems crazy to me. I know many software engineers and both the great ones and the terrible ones have no problem finding work.
Well I was actually thinking of quickselect, but regardless I was too quick to post. Quickselect is O(n) average time (as you pointed out).

I've settled on just using Jupyter. Like the scorecard suggests, it does good enough in most categories. The reason I need a dashboard is to flexibly handle data for most cases. Being able to jump between Python and R and Julia is nice and often needed.
Yes, but in the real world there are a lot of opportunities for implementation failure.
The original idea of the H1-B Visa was these were high paying jobs where the spouse wouldn't need to work. It appears the pay rate has not kept with with inflation and/or cost of living.
