I personally know many people that have transitioned from H1B1 to green card. Some even to citizenship afterwards. I’m sure there is a legal way to do it.

H1B1 can be extended for a long time and is cheap to get and renew.

I mean you want them to have freedom as well right?

For employees, it’s relatively easy to transfer to another employee given how cheap and easy it is to get the visa, especially once you’ve gotten it for the first time.

But you have once again picked an industry composed of people who are not wealthy and said we should copy them to make money. There is a reason when we think "unions" the industrys that come to mind are, in the main, full of workers who don't have much job security or income.

Unions are wealth-destructive. If you destroy the wealth in an industry, it cannot afford to pay high wages. If the industry has no wealth to destroy sure, unionise. You were already going to get paid nothing and you'd still get paid nothing. That'll lock down any hope of changing practices to improve things. I don't want to work in an industry that has unions; I want to be in an industry that is full of economic zest. The reason why software engineers do so well is because they are in one of the freest markets going. The wealthiest software engineers happen to be in the freest markets too. There is a bold and obvious correlation between freedom, high wages and wealthy employees.

Reducing the freedom of software companies will not help me live comfortably. Won't help most of the rest of us either. If people don't have useful work to do at a company, they should go and find a different company to work at. That is the fastest and also most effective way to maximise wages for everyone.

> Or maybe a sweatshop - seems like another great "free market" place to work!

I mean, people mocked the Chinese for this back in the 80s, now they are wealthier than the English. So, yeah. Turned out that was the path to prosperity. India kept trying socialism and ended up decade(s) behind.

If I were in China, I would advocate sweatshops and I would also have been vindicated as they pulled themselves up from poverty to success by working hard and building stuff with poor labour practices.

All the Asians started poor and just worked hard. They didn't strike, they didn't unionise their auto manufacturers and force jobs overseas. They allowed sweatshops to run. They made the biggest improvements to their lifestyle in a generation in all of human history. If they had allowed more freedom to their population they would have gone further too. Chinese wages have risen so much thanks to allowing those sweatshops that now it isn't profitable to run a Chinese sweatshop any more.

EDIT typing a bit quickly. "Wealthier" was wrong - I meant higher energy per capita. See https://ourworldindata.org/energy . The wealth will catch up to the energy though, China is on a wildly great ride. We should, ironically, be copying some of the economic practices of these nominal communists.
Heh. As someone who eats textured soy chunks, I assure you my expectations aren't too lofty.
I've heard the VSCode + Rust analyzer situation has gotten really good. I think this might have been when it wasn't as solid? I'll have to check out the VSCode situation again sometime.

The one thing I don't like about Rider vs Visual Studio + ReSharper is that ReSharper has some really advanced structural/semantic searches that haven't made their way into Rider. I don't use it a ton, but being able to do queries across the AST annotated with semantic/type info is really useful if you're working on a legacy C# project that's been copy pasted fifty times--once per state (actual thing that I ended up working on)

otherwise, Rider is rad, and I have way more intellij platform bindings and such setup for them all
I'll start by saying I have no problem with degrees and wish I had the time and money for one.

Working in infosec, I have seen really smart hackers who have no degrees and talented folks with degrees. Degrees simply can't tell you how talented a person is. That said, they do tell you how adaptable a person can be to a corporate environment if they ever work in management. But also, degrees technical folks tend to think very much in a box or in a "political" mindset that you see in academia (teacher's pet, death by powerpoint,etc...). You would think college teaches people to think outside of the box but many have the "this is how we did it in school" mindset which is hard to unlearn and even grads from unk's that have respectable infosec programs lack some very basic undersranding of infosec fundamentals or awareness of current trends in offense or defense.

Now my speculation is that college spends too much time giving students broad initial exposure and mostly in a theoretical framework. For at least half of a bachelor's degree they don't even touch the subject of what they majored in. Someone who has passion for the work and hands on IT or programming experience is much more likely to succeed than someone who relied on being spoonfed at school. But like I said, you do get talented people with degrees, it just doesn't tell you on it's own if they are qualified or not.

I personally consider the modern college system an ancient holdover from british colonial era. Technology has changed too much to be this inflexible to education.

Long term heat waves might kill enough people to reduce CO2 emissions significantly.
In fact you can. In Common Lisp, (go ...) is a dynamic control transfer that performs unwinding and can jump out of a lambda. This is similar to what blub languages call exception handling.

(tagbody
10
(format t "label 10~%")
(unwind-protect
(funcall (lambda () (go 10)))
(format t "unwinding!~%")))

Output:

label 10
unwinding!
label 10
unwinding!
...

How it works is that (go 10) identifies the surrounding tagbody as an exit point for the exception-like dynamic control transfer. That (go 10) is occurring in a sub-form of tagbody. That entire sub-form is abandoned, with unwinding, and then tagbody catches that control transfer, like an exception handler. tagbody then switches control to the desired label. Effectively, the exception-like control transfer is accompanied by a piece of datum: the label.

tagbody requires lexical visiblity between the go and tagbody; though the label bindings and the control transfer are dynamic, they have to be physically enclosed. That allows compilers to optimize tagbody more. A Common lisp compiler doesn't have to suspect that function (foo) can branch to the label bar in (tagbody (foo) bar) and can conclude that the label is unused, and the tagbody can be entirely optimized away. However, cross-function go does work, as the lambda shows in my example.

ESG is an easy example of the kind of regulatory moat against competition that classical libertarian analysis routinely complains about.

> Civil rights also have been solidly co-opted by the oligarchic class. Both for reasons that the moral behavior and values of the elites are fairly advanced and they want to impose their values as the mainstream values down the throats of the more backward working class and because it is useful as it redirects energy from unionization and other forms of class struggle.

Worse than that - the elites actively hold luxury beliefs that cause damage at the lower rungs of society but the elites themselves don't quite behave by but which are useful to proclaim as signals of class allegiance and attaining status.

That said, it's been plainly shown that eg. the diversity push is in good part an anti-unionization ploy yet most of the left keeps supporting it.
How do you write DEL, which Ctrl+key is that? I had written this actually as ^H^@^@^A, but realized that ^H may remove characters but is not DEL, so I edited that out of my previous comment.

Oh yeah! I had a laptop that booted Windows and Linux; the Linux side was non-journaling ext2 at the time. I forget how it got extensively scrambled, but I'd run AIDE on it, so I had many file checksums. By running AIDE again on /lost+found, and comparing checksums, I was able to put the vast majority of files back where they belonged.

People love to bring up this argument which was quite well developed by philosopher Peter Singer but every time I see it (in many contexts) they always fall short of the continuation of it.

There's a big difference between the richest man in the world letting their employees have 20 weeks of parental leave, than someone living on a salary giving away all their money to charity.

The difference is in how much we are affected personally by the "giving" we are doing, and this is not a meaningless point. It's very narrow minded to think we ought to give everything we have at all times because where would you stop? There is always someone that's more in need. Ultimately we should be giving away as much as we can and this needs to take into consideration how much we have. Do you seriously think Musk is not in a position to give 20 weeks of parental leave to his employees? If the richest man couldn't do that, then wouldn't this mean it's so taxing no one could? But there's plenty of business owners around the world that do, and none of them are richer than Musk, so what gives?

There are similar numbers for conventional farming, and historical estimates too. There's a whole field of study on the EROI of agriculture. And yes,
for all of human agriculture until roughly the industrial revolution, the EROI was over 1. By definition. 1 unit of labor + sun better equal at least 1 unit of food! When solar energy is the only external input and all mammalian labor provides the rest (which must be fed by the same crops that you're trying to grow), if you got less crop calories than it took to run the farm, you and your livestock would be dead.

> If the payment itself is not a crime (as admitted)

No one admitted that.

> just the alleged mis-accounting.

No one said that, either, in fact, two separate crimes were identified, not one.

> Then how can the mis-accounting possibly be a campaign contribution

No one said the misaccounting was a campaign cobtribution (how would that work?) You claimed that the payment was a campaign expenditure funded by a contribution by the candidate, and that that was perfectly legal. Whether or not the payment was otherwise legal, both contributions to a campaign and expenditures by a campaign must be disclosed in periodic campaign finance reports to the FEC (which are public records which are closely scrutinized), and, for expenditures, itemized at a level which includes the specific recipient, amount, and purpose of each payment. Wilfully failing to report donations or expenditures is a crime. So, if this was as you describe, there should be a public FEC filing for Trumo for the contribution and expenditure. Is there?

> You can either have non disclosure agreements or you have to make them public, which would defeat the whole purpose of non disclosure agreements.

Yes, I agree that campaign finance law makes it practically legally impossible for a federal candidate to make effective hush money payments associated with a campaign. (Other NDAs are, actually, fairly viable, and regular parts of cobtracts for services associated with a campaign.) This may be inconvenient for people trying to conceal things that would be material to the electorate, but that’s a feature, not a bug.

> On a side note, normally...your past lovers can't threaten to expose your affair unless you pay them. Extortion is a crime.

While the term is sometimes used more broadly informally, the crime of extortion involves obtaining money or things of value under threat of violence, not under threat of revealing true facts. You may be thinking of blackmail, but again, while informally used more broadly, as a crime that generally refers to getting money via threat to inform about a violation of the law. Unless the sex act was illegal in some way, threatening to reveal it unless paid wouldn’t be that, either.

I'm not a user though, so I can't testify to the problems people have been having.
There is a reason we don't want billionaires to feel safe with their assets sitting places. We want them actively using said assets to make the world better. Not just living off of leveraged value forever.

To that end, I'm not sure I see good argument for 100% protection. Money sitting in a bank deposit only creates wealth if we have the banks actively lending. And, annoyingly to me, the largest form of this for the "too big to fail" banks seems to be credit card schemes. Which I actively despise, at the moment. It also incentivizes banks to hunt out places to loan money. Which is why we have ridiculously complicated securities to back mortgages. The amount of those that have been made is only "safe" for the banks with a ton of the extra machinery they have put on top. Which has costs.

Edit: I should add that I'm not 100% on my stance here. Would love to be challenged on any of the above. Can only help my understanding.
I thought the answer to this would be simple but it's pretty complex! From a Quora answer:

> They are in 12 hour orbits because that is the result of optimizing the number of satellites needed to cover the Earth, plus having at least 4 satellites visible at the same time from a spot on the earth, with the satellites being spread out across the sky. It also helps that they move fairly slowly, so the Doppler is changing slowly during the PN code acquisition phase. Remember that this system was basically designed in the late 1970s, and we didn’t have 2 GHz processors in wristwatches - a GPS receiver had to acquire and process the signals to get a fix, and it had to be something that a single person could carry.

> If you go lower, you need a lot more satellites (see, e.g., Iridium or Teledesic with 77 and hundreds, respectively), and they move faster across the sky. Each GPS satellite carries an atomic clock (Cesium or Rubidium, depending on the batch) and they’re not cheap to build. The fast motion also makes acquisition harder, and low orbits are more affected by the imperfect Earth’s gravity - in order to calculate your GPS position, your receiver needs to know EXACTLY where the satellite is - that’s harder in a low orbit.

> If you go higher, 3 satellites in GEO will cover the equatorial earth, but you also need satellites in inclined orbits - you want your satellites to be spread across the sky, so your position accuracy isn’t degraded because they’re in a line or a clump. I think it actually takes more satellites to get the required coverage from GEO height (think about needing to cover the polar regions) - you could probably do some Molniya orbits, but that makes things more complex for other reasons.

On the one hand, a ton of people have giant diesel trucks for no reason other than anatomy comparisons, on the other: diesels are more fuel efficient, and have greater torque than petrol. If you compare to EVs you have to consider the working scenario for a truck that does benefit from diesel: You have a fixed amount of time under load, after which you have significant charging downtime, in the order of hours if its in typical rural areas which don't have superchargers everywhere.

I’m curious about how can they ensure connectivity for a particular area. Is it just that they place a bunch of satellites in orbits and hope that they have enough density? Or is there a method to the madness?
