I don't think that's necessarily true. This is a trick for working around the rule of law, but totalitarian governments don't need that subtlety. They have dummy courts and full control over what's legal. To take the most extreme example, Nazis didn't pass harsh jaywalking laws and then use them on Jews; they actively made laws against Jews.
You likely would qualify for an O-1 which is not subject to a lottery. You would be subject to a lottery for an H-1B unless the H-1B would be to work for a non-profit entity engaged in basic research or another cap exempt entity. There are visas that allow for self employment or at least employment with a company created by the foreign national (O-1 sort of, E-1 and E-2, and IEPP) but oftentimes the path to "free agency" is through the green card process - which under certain circumstances can be applied for without company sponsorship - and with a PhD you likely would be able to apply for a green card on your own.
Valve released Alyx last year, which is really a masterpiece of a game up there with Half life and Portal, and is the only real AAA VR experience that exists. No other big studio would risk building such a VR game due to it still being considered a very niche market.

Yeah they release stuff sporadically, and by all accounts the internal organization is chaos. But that somehow manages to produce some of the best games of all time.

Let's not forget also that Valve has pushed Linux gaming more than anyone else.
Yes, but I wonder, do many second-hand smartphones end up in poorer countries and then undercounted? AFAIK these stats typically are derived from traffic to certain websites or telemetry from certain apps (or Google Play?); looking just at English websites/apps would then significantly undercount.
It's ok, because now ExpressVPN is putting out ads everywhere instead!
That's not really true.

I think your views are founded on the "moar Mhz moar performance" myth ( which is prevalent ), and Intel's decades old monopoly didn't help either, but if you compare 2 equivalent CPU's 10-15 years apart, there is no stagnation in performance.

Maybe the old trick of cranking up the Mhz and call it a day doesn't work the way it used to, but in terms of performance results we are getting improvements.
Just say no to this garbage. Your kids will only learn how to be like them.
Stuff like this is why I roll my eyes every time I hear that schools are underfunded and how we need to give them just a little more funding, and surely things will get better. If they're just going to pass students anyways, what's the point of increasing the funding?
My home internet is particularly low bandwidth, so I’ve taken to downloading my games from steam on a laptop somewhere else where I can get a 4G/5G signal and just copying the directory to my gaming computer. When it’s migrated to a new system all that’s required is a redownload of the executable
"School-choice" is great for optimizing local maximums at the expense of just about everyone else. Public education should focus on the lowest common denominators to maximize education per tax dollar. It's not the smart people with lack of opportunity that drag down society, it's the massive amount of undereducated adults that become dangerously suceptable to manipulation.
> Why doesn't it seem like the government scales with the population?

My take on this is that it's because government doesn't scale in a simple way with the biological population size, unless we understand government as simply serving the biological needs of the population. The government serves the noosphere: kinda like a biosphere, but the sum of all ideas, reason, language, memes, thought and innovation of the society. The noosphere just happens to live [mostly] in the biological minds of the population, but it's not growing linearly like population is, and is probably becoming more complex and higher dimensional in a nonlinear way. The world doesn't just accrue humans, but rather it accrues (often via tech augmentations) the capacity of each human to process more, and so the world complexifies (is that a word? ha)

Anyhow, not saying this is how it should be, or needs to be, but I def am not personally surprised or indignant about government failing to see scaling benefits we see elsewhere. I also suspect this is related to how government's in charge of many more things than corporations, which often can't be re-classified as externalities

I dunno maybe I'm wrong-headed here * shrug *
These terms are actually defined in the regulations.
Thank you. I had understood that the wavelength of an LED correlated with the voltage drop but did not know why.

(I had just assumed it was a characteristic of the physical materials needed to obtain the various colors.)
I don't get it either. People have learning and thinking differences, we know that and have known it for years. Accommodating those differences is important. Living out a real-life version of Harrison Bergeron is not the only way to do it.
How cam you reas that book and not think that the kida are abused and traumatized in horrific ways with minimal interest in the long term benefits to these kida? A core ethical question of this book is the degree to which the ends justify these means.
No, because the GDPR doesn't apply to citizens, but to companies. It only applies to companies that target the EU for their services:

Perhaps a more accurate analogy would be saying "kilos are measured in kilograms".
It would also be cool if people had long, complex, ongoing conversations (and meta-conversations) about feasible improvements like this to the design of our governments. Petty polarizing arguments arguments are soon much more appealing though. :(
You can say the same thing about the internet. Avoid the toxic sites. Go to the good sites. But you'd have a hard time arguing that the internet isn't a useful tool.
I’ve been using it every day since they released the beta as well and you are spot on.
With an article as dishonest as this, I don't think I'm interested in the observations their review would make. So let's just call the whole thing off.
Thanks for the reply. I actually think you might be in a good position to blog about this given your experience. There is definitely a huge segment of business leaders who could benefit from understanding these concepts in a non-tech way, from someone like yourself who has implemented these types of systems.
That also means it's going to be hard to sue over this, because the courts where you might do so are part of the same Commonwealth that authorized the action. Even if you could get a case on the docket, they'd just say the magic words "sovereign immunity" and it would disappear.
No I'm not forgetting about that. It's just that manufacturing was never the time constraint on how fast a vaccine could be produced. It's regulatory time. The manufacturing process was also shortened (and parallelized, as you pointed out), but you can see from this chart that the main savings was shortening a 4 year regulatory process to 6 months. https://media.defense.gov/2020/Aug/13/2002476369/-1/-1/0/200...

Hey Peter,

I am the Co-founder and CEO of an early stage start-up incorporated in Delaware. I am originally from Bangladesh and have just closed our pre-seed round of $300k from an investor in the United States.

Which of the following options would be the best for me?

1. International Entrepreneur Parole: Raised >$250k so should be eligible.

2. O1: By my understanding, I meet the following criteria:

Award- $300k USD pre-seed investment from a top investor in the United States.

Memberships- OnDeck (beondeck.com)

Critical Employment- Co-founder and CEO

Judging- Judged start-ups for investment competition in St. Louis ($50k cheques).

High Remuneration- Own 60% Equity in my start-up

3. E2: Being from a treaty country can I apply for this or would I need to invest my own money into my start-up?
Make sure "Settings -> Downloads -> Limit Bandwidth To" is unchecked. If you checked something describing your internet speed after first install it'll throttle to that and I think the highest option in that menu was still 100 Mbps. Steam downloads default to bytes per seconds (option for bits in the same menu as above) so keep that in mind as well. In that menu you can make sure the download region is appropriately set to one near you too, I haven't had a problem with the autodetection for this personally though.

If all of the above is in place and it's still slow make sure you're not running into a single core throughput issue. The encryption and compression can be quite taxing. I can pretty easily hit 1 Gbps on a 5950X but some of my laptops can't due to their CPU.

People's, i.e., human rights are rather well established at this point and it is also not a difficult task to monitor and track whether those people/human rights are respected. Even if it could become a rather labour intensive effort if one wanted to, possibly unnecessarily, monitor and track human rights protections and even defence down to the granular/individual level.

The real challenge here is not at all a practical one, it's a power problem, those who have the power and control … at all the different levels … have absolutely no interest and jealously will combat the actual tracking and recording of things like whether they are protecting, violating, or defending human rights; because they very well would not fare well under the scrutiny of a truly objective evaluation. Those who have power have zero appreciation for anything that will weaken the perception of their power, because most power is a psychological thing.

I'm dead serious. Almost every piece of software (and hardware) in a computer is driven by incremental improvements backed by research. Operating system kernels, file systems, databases, 3D-APIs, etc... there are tons of publications, white papers, discussions, all happening in public how those components are improved over the decades. There are dead ends from time to time, but those fail, and those failures are also discussed, analyzed and eventually replaced with better solutions.

Why are user interfaces special in this regard? Where's the research, where are the white papers which clearly demonstrate what the advantages and disadvantages of specific user interface philosophies are?
Please don't spread FUD. Do you have any sources for your accusations?

I believe that there are still honorable companies out there (and I don't even use ProtonMail in particular)
Well yes sort of but also:

A) Steam is allowing that metadata to be set like that;

B) Steam is requiring the download prior to review

Which in combination is what's not working. So to fix:

A) Steam can disallow metadata being set in such ways; or

B) Steam can consider all the weird and wonderful allowed metadata combinations when checking for (among other things) download before review.
Origin feels really bloated and in need of optimization.

The Steam client has some nice features like Steam Link, which you can use to stream to a smart TV by installing the app.

This argument is reasonable-ish but wrong. Companies have long been subject to information security crises. Earlier, there were viruses; today, it is ransomware. Business practices will change in a way that makes these hacks less feasible, but not most businesses just aren't interested in it. The fantastic new security of the future won't be secure by design, it'll be known-ransomware-proof.

(Also, implicit in the claim is the argument that any activity is good activity. I don't think that holds: I think paying for security guards and spending disk space or CPU cycles on security measures are necessary, but not beneficial. Probably, the world would be better if there are no bad actors. But I can only assent to your claim if I believe that the world is better if we protect against bad actors than if we have no bad actors and no protection. This is probably the cause of you getting downvoted.)

I also follow my cat while asking questions! It's almost always food, water, catnip or litter.

Regarding the water: he won't drink chlorinated water. In his previous home, he developed urinary stones because they didn't figure this out. Cue a BS prescription diet sold by "vets". Nope, he just needed fresh, non-chlorinated water.
I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. Much, if not all, of politics, on both sides, for ordinary people, is concerning who gets what welfare. For every Oregon FAA there are probably 100 offices in the military and government agricultural sector that provide a small number of good but sort of meaningless jobs.

For every 1 soldier actually shooting bullets or 1 bonafide back-bending farmer there are 999 comfy desk jobs for college educated people in the same org chart. Many for whom college was paid for by that government. Is that good or bad?
That's good to know. Is it something I should get a lawyer for, or is it fairly straightforward to submit one?
I disagree. There are way too many sites that require javascript that you'll eventually get into the habit of blindly enabling scripts when a site breaks, negating any security benefits.
It's p-hacking for prejudice, though.

Let's say that there are two races, orange and blue. Alice is orange and goes to a majority-blue church and gets mistreated because of her race. Bob is blue and goes to a majority-orange church and gets mistreated because of his race.

Alice and Bob are both upset about their experiences. They submit articles to "The American Truth," an orange-supremacist newspaper whose stated mission is to convince orange people that they'll never be happy in a society where blue people are treated as equals. Naturally, they publish Alice's article and not Bob's.

Carol is orange and goes to a different majority-blue church and things are totally fine; Dan is blue and goes to a different majority-orange church and things are also totally fine. Eve, who is orange, and Mallory, who is blue, both go to the same church which has a good mix of folks from the two races, and they love it. "The American Truth" is of course totally uninterested in hearing any of these stories.

If you read "The American Truth," you'll think that there's a problem with blue people being intolerant, and you won't be aware of problems with orange people being intolerant, nor will you be aware that, quite possibly, these are both exceptional cases and most orange people and blue people alike are quite tolerant and welcoming and they tend to get along with each other.
Only 2 articles by the author, so I wouldn't strongly associate them with the site.

No information about author, and published on a site like that because such topics are forbidden, so I wouldn't say that's a good tool for judging the truthfulness/quality.

Have to look at the details and see if they align with what is verifiable.

Some of the claims can be verified by video footage that is widely available online. Many people will still dispute those claims.
Steam does use CEF but I don't think the UI rendering itself is actually what is causing slowness. The backend logic as well as services are native code

It looks like Google told the author to get bent, but it's really rather unclear.

Though note that the dates may be confused: the article was posted on May 1st but the edit is marked April 4th, for an update to an article which would have been posted a month later.

Most likely the date for the update is wrong and should be something like June 4th, and in

> Which will happen first? The automatic switching of the country association, or Google responding to my inquiry? It’s going to be a race!

the automatic switching won.
Here is my strategy:

Try to keep moving. Pile up emails, youtube videos, essays, whatever you need for work in audio format and transfer them to an mp3 player. Go for a run/bike/shop/walk or whatever you feel like outside. You can even make calls work like that, but I don't need to do many of these day-to-day so I wouldn't know.

Stand up desk. I need to do a bunch of programming so standing up is highly preferred with occasional eye breaks and walks to refill on water/tea.

Chair. Occasionally I need to sit. Might get a lot of hate here, but swivel chairs distract me and tend to promote a bad posture over time. They also tend to be expensive to make. I go for a thin padded basic chair, no folds, no mechanisms, without arm rests. I try to sit for 1-2 hours max and go to standing up again.

Hope this helps.
Hey Peter,

D you happen to know how long the processing time for IEPP might be?
Expanding on that a bit, generally, the shorter the wavelength the higher the voltage drop. So UV leds have the the highest, followed by violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, then infrared. Then white being a special case since it's typically 3 leds (r/g/b) and not one.
Hi Peter,
For IEPP program, should be file by the employer? Does international indepedent consulting apply for the startup?
Tab groups are great. Chrome introduced them a while ago and I've been using ever since.

Two groups is all I need: Work and Personal. Tabs not in these groups are temporay and are closed once I'm done.

This one is a particularly bad idea. Regular people don't always understand the difference between the browser and the contents of a web page. This blurs that line even more for people who already have trouble seeing it in the first place.

> Casu martzu is considered by Sardinian aficionados to be unsafe to eat when the maggots in the cheese have died.[8] Because of this, only cheese in which the maggots are still alive is usually eaten, although allowances are made for cheese that has been refrigerated, which results in the maggots being killed.

Looks like that’s an option!
> This form is required to be in compliance with the CA ed code as parents have the right to appeal failing grades and not being notified is probably an enough reason for the district to change a failing grade to a passing one in case of a lawsuit/complaint.

If this were the reason for the new forms, why would the school only have teachers fill out the form if the student were guaranteed to fail? I'd think the schools would go the opposite direction and make sure to notify all parents whose kids might fail.
I see. Thanks for the explanation. I had been thinking in terms of the technology rather than in its public perception (although sure… that perception influences funding for the technology).

Now I see that I would have been well served by looking up 'nuclear 2011' and 'nuclear 1986' since those disasters are very famous.

But thanks to all for telling me. :)

I'm not in Australia, but many other countries have region locked local apps. In my experience banking is a big problem, though it seems to have improved in the last few years.

Local TV providers still use region-locked apps for streaming services.

Many others? I only know of ProtonMail. Then there's mailbox.org and Posteo, but both are required to provide access to the government [1]. Their only option is to provide end-to-end encryption, like ProtonMail does.

I wouldn't trust any other email provider than one of those three, if I would need to have truly secure emailing via a 3rd party. But none are in a different position that Google, maybe with exception of ProtonMail.

Which ones would you list?

That meme with the actor taking to a bloodied Jesus comes to mind while reading you guys comparing google with zoom. You guys are so lucky. I work on Skype for Business over a Citrix Workspace connection.

While Skype is an unmitigated disaster that can’t do simple stuff like copying text there is Citrix that requires a wizard installer with admin rights that deploys 3 background services and requires an audio plugin (separated, with another wizard installer) to do a worse remote streaming experience than what discord does for teenagers using a browser.
No child left behind.

It’s been ruled that it’s better that all students get to 20-80% knowledge then some get 100% and some get 0%.

Which is why many people choose to go to private schools if you want to not be limited by this.

> They don’t want to actually reduce governments ability to make war or jail people etc.

Fir enough. Put it another way. People look at this institution which can't balance a budget, is typically controlled by lunatics between 30-60% of the time and which apparently nobody really trusts. And it is controlled by billionaire oligarchs and the worst of the entrenched business interests.

They then think "gee, this is the group I want to actively administer my municipal broadband. Nobody better!".

I'm fairly open that I don't like governments. But how do the people who don't trust the thing square that with then calling for it to be actively involved in all sorts of random stuff? What is the thought process here?
