How so? This seems squeaky clean to me. You install a (presumably properly licensed) copy of Windows in a VM, you set it up, and you use RDP (a documented protocol from MS, no less) to view programs in rootless mode.

If you want to get fancy, you could use software from Citrix to do more or less the same thing.
> Why not hire them? Lower your requirements if necessary, and train your new employees on the job. Groom them, mentor them, teach them the technologies they need to know.

I think it's great if a company's willing to do that, but if they have the financial ability to pay employees to grow into the employees they need, they also have the financial ability to just pay higher salaries in the first place.

That is, this rule doesn't hurt big employers, who can both pay big salaries to qualified candidates (of any citizenship - and often can pay big salaries to qualified candidates by setting up an office in their country if it's hard enough to hire in this one) and invest in training up workers, but it does hurt smaller ones. Smaller companies, by their nature, have less funding to invest in long-term gains - they need to ship quickly if they don't want to go out of business.

Now, there may well be good reasons to conclude that that big entrenched employers are good for society and startups should face an uphill battle competing on talent, but let's not pretend this doesn't hurt small companies.
Separate topic: Is there a standard way for specifying pins for parsing and code generation? In particular for hw/sw co-design.
Well stated. And in fact many of the things Trump has done, I would support. But I can't get past his worst characteristics.
Like keeping and making publicly available a database of people who publicly supported a political candidate? Is that the Nazi policy you're referring to?
Except for dedicated servers for certain enterprises (they started in enterprises so no surprise there), I think that STUN traversal in CGNATted areas may be the reason - Zoom has no control over how does the NAT machine on the other side works, which on some CGNAT equipments each outbound IP address are limited to a certain bandwidth (to evenly share the data throughput of the equipment). If Zoom has a limited range, then CGNAT users may suffer from limited bandwidth even though Zoom's network may handle this just fine. If they have additional IPs, they can give each participant an endpoint and circumvent whatever restriction there are on the ISPs' side.

TLDR: Except for companies requiring a dedicated proportion, probably to work-around CGNAT problems.
WTF are you talking about? This isn't about voting or getting employees votes for the democrat party. H-1B cannot vote for the left but that is better to party hardliners than someone who votes right and hires right wing. This is 100% about making sure executives of tech companies remain leftists and members of the leftist pro-socialist party. H-1B is only one way they work to achieve this. Since 2015 they have created chief people/diversity officer roles which are nothing more than party officials who are given power to filter hires based on perceived party loyalty but in the name of combating "racism" which is pretty much envelops all leftist reasoning these days. They are hardcore leftists and trade blacklists between companies.

In the corporate world it is imperative to leftist managers and boards that they maintain political control of tech companies like google, twitter, amazon that both track every move and word of the populace as well as filter the content that people are allowed to see.
I am reminded of all the times in the last four years (really my entire adult life) where during policy discussions of any magnitude the ultimate “kill” for an idea is “but it’s only popular with $small_number of the vote” or “but poll after poll shows it as a losing position.” It’s used as a cudgel to push out things that would actually make people feel their government is doing things with impunity. Donald Trump’s approval rating rarely if ever dipped below ~43% (with the usual and huge error bars) and consequently republicans reported they couldn’t go against him ever because of the polls. “Spending political capital” is a concept where a ruling party takes unpopular actions/enacts unpopular law because it’ll only push their approvals toward their long run averages.

I think this needs to be a serious topic of discussion. After this administration, “governing by polling firm” seems disingenuous at best and outright detrimental to all involved.
Instead of the “white man’s burden” it’s now the “white liberals burden” to save all these brown people who don’t know enough to save themselves.

There was an article a few days ago that claimed Trump’s increase in minority support was because the minorities were racist too.

I mean, that’s just lazy thinking.
>there are not enough American citizens who can fill those roles even for $208,000.

Given that it's possible to train people, that condition cannot occur. Maybe "no cost-effective American citizens," or "no quickly available American citizens," but the state of there being absolutely no possible way to fill a role with an American citizen, cannot happen.
I'm not sure what a "sampling error" is. To echo the sibling poster, per-state sentiment is not normally distributed. For example, we know Trump is more popular among white men than other demographics. This means that if we were to create a random variable that reflected the sentiment of white men throughout the US, we would (probably though I'd have to dig deeper into the data) presume to see a higher median vote count in this demographic. However, we cannot say that Trump's popularity in Massachusetts is independent from his popularity in New York, because his popularity in the white male demographic is the dependent variable between both random variables.
They can say "not my president" all they want, just as Trump can say he won the election, when he clearly didn't.

One of those is far more impact, though. One of those is a person who runs the executive branch of the strongest government in the world. The other is someone making a post on twitter. To compare the two is wrong - period.
My money, my family, and my health is far more important to me than my fellow citizens, and especially my fellow “non citizens”.
I would suggest looking at CA's referendum system to see how people really aren't good at voting on things with larger implications.

Arguably CA's wonky tax system has some of it's roots in an effort to keep taxes low, and to some extent backfired long term.

For one off items legalizing marijuana or so with limited repercussions on other things, those kind of referendums would seem well suited. But anything else voters I suspect would be happy to vote to eat and have their cake at the same time.
The only reason to have a native app for this is marketing.

Really this goes for the majority of iOS apps since native apps can't do a whole lot anyway. This doesn't even need push notifications though, I don't know why anyone would bother putting up with all the crap native apps take just to have to deal with all the crap apple gives you.
As a non-white person that actually lives in the US, this couldn't be further from the truth. You're comparing the ideologically extreme liberal to the moderate conservative. I've visited enough states and experienced enough racism to know that it isn't a matter of "curing their fear". But sure, keep making the same baseless claims that far right leaning media make.
They are. MS could have shipped their browser with features that can support game streaming but they can't.

Open Web on mobile is being held hostage on iOS side.

At least on Android I was asked to choose my default browser and other browsers are allowed to have their engines.
I too was surprised to see the post that Coke is too sweet compared to Pepsi as I've never heard anyone say or write that before. I've always heard people say Pepsi is sweeter than Coke. Apparently that was one of the main drivers of "New" Coke back in the 80s, to make a sweeter version of Coke to compete with Pepsi, especially the Pepsi Challenge, which rewarded sweetness due to the small sipping size.

The person you're responding to may have had a similar lifetime experience and that's why they commented on it. Likely not nefarious, simply an observation on something unexpected.
Among the post, this article[0] is referenced, which does mention testing on outlook and is more technical! It might be it.

> It turns out that all email services take your original message and conveniently wrap it in a div (with a class) or a blockquote, meaning you can use that as a CSS selector. It's so stupidly simple.

I really don't care how many other people like it. Other than to a few outliers personal computing is dead to 95% of the market. That doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
DMCA? There is nothing here that implies circumvention or copyright. It's essentially just RDP'ing to a VM and showing a specific app's window instead of the whole desktop.

This is not all that much different from VirtualBox "seamless mode", and VMware's "unity".
So it's like reverse WSL2?
With the prevalence of password management, users are only expected to memorize a very small number of passwords. For me, I have two key passwords I must remember: my login credentials and the key to my password manager.

I don't know why we fret so much about password complexity requirements. In my opinion, the solution is not increasing the ease of memorization, but encouraging those who don't use a password manager to do so.
There's a famous optical illusion with a spinning silhouette of a dancer. When you look at it, you'll swear it's spinning in one direction -- say, counter-clockwise. In fact, you'll be so sure it's spinning counter-clockwise, that the idea it could be spinning in the opposite direction will seem impossible to you. But if you stare at it long enough, and intently enough, you can make it spin the other way.

I've noticed the same phenomenon with political views.

People on the left think that anyone on the right is a lunatic, and everyone on the right thinks the same thing about the left. I, as most people do, lean in one direction politically, so naturally any comment I see coming from my side seems reasonable to me. In fact, it seems impossible that a reasonable person could think any other way. But since I grew up in a family that leaned in the opposite direction, and I shared their same mindset in my younger days, I can now draw on that experience, and I can take a political tweet that everyone on my side thinks is insane, and I can stare at it, and just as with the spinning dancer, I can flip it in my head so it seems reasonable.

To me, it's a testament to the power of the tribal instincts within us. We think it's the other side that's crazy, but we're all under the same spell.
The GP didn't babytalk you. They just pointed out a seeming contradiction.

Lashing out at bystanders & spamming passive-aggressive smilies does not cultivate trust in GIMP's leadership.
Trazodone has a mild side effect profile, but it is an anticholinergic. You don't want to do it long term; there is an association with dementia.
To offer a concrete example here, survery respondents are often biased based on who actually sees and fills out a survey. A common technique used to overcome this non-representative sample is called post-stratification. There are, of course, limits to post stratification especially in instances of low sample sizes, but techniques to overcome issues with data are well known.
I'm pretty sure TI has something like this for a lot of their SoCs/MCUs.

Except as an SPA IIRC.
They don’t all implement the same set of standards equally. The one that comes immediately to mind is one that comes up frequently as “hey do you know your website is broken on iOS” on HN is when someone is demoing some really interesting web-tech that requires SharedArrayBuffer (since it enables thread-like behavior in JavaScript and is super useful also for performant interaction with the GPU).

Browsers can of course be non-conformant on other interesting issues. Imagine if a browser came out that allowed the Unity Web Player to work. Instantly, people wouldn’t need to use the App Store to purchase games. Instead, they could just use the browser.
> there are some very large downsides to what you're suggesting

Do you have any data to back this up? I don't remember the issue under the Obama admin.

> No single position is without tradeoffs, hence the debate.

There's a difference between a debate and an Executive Order. Donald Trump isn't "debating" putting people in cages. He is putting people in cages. He, personally, changed policy to put people who otherwise would not have been in cages.

In fact, this policy was both so unpopular and legally tenuous that Trump was forced to roll much of it back due to intense pressure from, well, pretty much everyone else. Even the CBP said that the zero tolerance policy trump adopted was bad.

> It's a borderline ad hominem attack - my opponent is evil, therefore I can dismiss his concerns without ever really addressing them.

Yes well, if you don't want that, you shouldn't have Stephen Miller write your border policy.
The vendors do not inspire confidence. Some machines in Michigan crashed due to a bad update on Election Day. Why do we allow secretive, proprietary machines where untested and unaudited updates can be pushed at any time? To be clear, I don’t think there was any foul play, but it just reeks of incompetence and we are putting all the trust on them.

No he isn't technically correct. He said he has won by a lot, which isn't true.
Trump did it by EO. There is no reason why Obama couldn’t have.
Wow. This is an unbelievable sentiment by a normal, plugged in American citizen. I'm absolutely positive that the vast majority of American's have had massively strained relationships due to politics in the past 5 years, issues that weren't there before.
I would say Andrew Cuomo has handled it decently as a public health crisis, and handled it very well as a means to improve his reputation.
I absolutely love Jetbrains products but the only thing I hate about their site is how insane the password rules are.

Its like someone just wants to complicate things for no reason. I have to almost always use the forgot password link to login to their site because nobody can remember a password which satisfies all their rules (only other option is to save it to lastpass but that is not available on mobile)

I hope that more companies consider this new password policy that is also easy to remember.
School being miserable, largely useless, and a huge time sink just makes sense to most Americans.

Teach kids formal logic/CS, assign reasonable homework, and have them get up at reasonable times? Nah!
Trump's weakening of the US's global influence and dissolving its alliance with the EU has been the greatest gift to China in a generation. All China wants is to be an unchallenged world power.
What’s separating the App Store from XBox, PlayStation, or Nintendo? None of them allow third party stores either.

And if you want to remove them, that’s just arguing that a business model is at issue not a specific business. After all Epic is selling ports of the same game across multiple platforms any paying each of them a cut of games sold in other stores. If Apple just takes the same cut and allows more App Stores on their platform, or is that ok or is this just a question of money?
So no, you can't find a liberal police captain who’s calling for Trump supporters to be shot in the head, can you?
The goal of the visa is to bring workers temporarily as there are no Americans to fill the role. That’s why it’s tied to a company.

I don’t disagree that if we’re attracting the best and brightest, they should go through H1-B. We should be giving them green cards.
you definitely make some good points. i realized a few things i didn't think about after posting as well.

i guess i was thinking more along the lines of, most of the time i personally don't think you should be choosing a presidential candidate based on predictions of who may or may not win. even some of your examples are more centered on the ultimate outcome of the election and how to plan for it; i really think people whose lives could be affected that drastically should be planning ahead for that situation anyway.

nonetheless, i agree they do have some value, and perhaps i should have clarified my line of thinking more clearly.
For those who don't recall, Russia had big reasons to endorse Trump over Hillary in 2016: Hillary was bellicose about Russia and Syria, to the point where people echoed worries she'd plunge us into "WW3". That, compared with Trump's contrarian sympathies toward Russia and irreverence about the U.S.'s moral highground (and conservatism AND clear, probable incompetence) of course motivated Russia to support him.

They also hoped that he would come to the table and legitimize Russia as a fellow superpower and usher in a new era of diplomatic relations. The fact that Trump utterly failed to do that probably chilled Russia's interest in the 2020 election though.

Do we know if it has actually constrained supply? As far as I can tell there is an effectively limitless amount of new music to listen to in almost any genre you could pick. I just searched for one genre and I found no less than a hundred new albums this year. https://theboot.com/new-music-rundown-country-americana-blue... I think this is not exhaustive because most of the names I spot checked have produced chart topping singles or won industry-wide awards.
No, because the regulation isn't protecting people from phones that don't have certain games. That would be silly.

Allowing over a billion users the freedom to install and use software on their smartphone (a critical computing device and the only one for many) without corporate approval can indeed control externalities, protect the dispossessed and even save lives.
He's up over 4 million votes, though?
What saddens me, is that by the standards of corporate world Trump didn't do anything extraordinary. He was running a country in a style of a mediocre corporate executive. Same type of an executive that, for example, resulted in The Boeing Company suffering losses and having fleets grounded. But nothing special, really. Think "Uber" type of a corporate culture. Or "WeWork". Used to run a country.

It is no wonder, the likely result is 400k+ deaths and a worst downturn in a century. And one doesn't need to look further than Taiwan or South Korea, to see that it was not inevitable and preventable by good governance.

A wish for good governance. Less cynicism. And a shift of culture in both politics and corporate world that doesn't allow for such disasters.
The book (Awakenings by Oliver Sacks) might be a better resource if you're interested in specifics and don't care for dramatization.
> Biden for example would have been a solid, firm Republican candidate ~35 years ago, even if running on a Democratic ticket.

35 years ago the parties were a lot closer together because the Republican Party hadn't taken its jaunt into extremism that started in the 1990s, but, no Biden—who was then then to the right of his current position, was a solid Democrat then, though, like Clinton, part of the conservative Democratic Leadership Councl.

Game consoles run many applications that aren’t games (particularly entertainment), I’m still not seeing the distinction. Even their historical lockdown trends are similar; phones, even early smartphones, have traditionally been locked down and newer consoles are generally less so (e.g. UWP development on Xbox can be done without being a studio and buying a special console). In fact your ability to throw a dart on a board of phone models and hit one that you can root without fighting your manufacturer is as high as its ever been.

For what it’s worth I’ve never worked at Apple, down’t own any AAPL (unless you count indexes), and have bought Android phones off and on. So I’d focus less on acusing everyone who disagrees with you of alterior motives.
That's not what a human is. These things have names, zygotes, embryos, fetus. None of these are living humans yet. They're pre humans. collection of cells without an identity or awareness. Simplest of brain function where they might only respond to stimulus.

The difference between fetus and infants is the first is still attached to its mother. Its continued growth depends on its attachment to mother. Similar to a tumor.

I don't think you actually understand what you are talking about if you are confused about the term viability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_viability

Your link to photos means you are forming your opinion based off emotion and not understanding the difference between cells splitting, and what a independent human is.

At what point do you think the sperm and egg are human? Even the first split after they join is still just two cells.

What proof do you have that says a fetus at 16 weeks is alive? How are you defining alive?

> it has all its organs. It just needs to grow.

This is still dependent on the mother, it is not its own thing at this point.
You didn't read the linked article, did you? Byrd changed his ways and was even praised by the NAACP for his capacity to change:

“Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this
nation,” read a statement by NAACP president Ben Jealous.
“Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK
to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act,
the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal
legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of
our country.”

It may not be false to say that Biden spoke at Byrd's funeral, but it's definitely misleading to call it hypocrisy.
It was not inevitable that Biden would win. The electoral college is a major hurdle to overcome — he still came pretty close to losing a few key states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania which would have made it much much less likely for him to win. It took hard work, lots of money, and historically high turnout to get here. Incumbents rarely lose. This was pushing a boulder uphill. But it happened. Biden 2020.
I guess that’s democracy?
