Yes because the “War on Drugs” has been so effective.

Also the War on Drugs has also been used to statistically target minorities and give police an excuse to abuse their power.

If legalizing drugs takes power away from the Justice system to criminalize behavior that hurts no one but the participant, I think that’s a win.
If there are n tech jobs to be done, y people in group A who can do them, and z people in group B who can do them, opening hiring to all (y + z) people makes hiring easier than confining yourself to only y.

Easier could mean easier to hire, cheaper to hire (even if you pay them all the same as each other, the clearing wage is likely lower due to increased supply), easier to retain, etc.
TBH, people still say "FAANG", and it still works. Many acronyms stop being literal acronyms after a while, and start being just a word.

Although probably more people use "Big Tech" than "FAANG".
I work in a Corporate where we have lots of "strategy" teams and PPTs flying around.

What I learned is that PPT are more than a presentation format in this culture, they are a signaling tool:

• something that is "just" an email, or "just" something somebody said in a meeting doesn't carry much weight in Corporates

• .. but if you put it in a PPT with some graphics, it signals you've thought about it, and probably had some lesser minions also think about it and prepare a PPT

• .. further, if you put it in a PPT, that means you're serious about your position --- it signals commitment

• .. and finally, a PPT shows that you know how to play the game, you're not some tech weirdo that thinks PPTs are irrelevant

PPTs are a cultural currency in Corporates.
I honestly don't understand why anyone with this attitude wants to live in the United States, when the default worldwide is this, and the United States is the sole exception.
Now that you say this, I really appreciate his writing style doesn’t project frustration.

Where's the joke? The purpose of any government ought to be to benefit its citizens. Certainly there's a moral obligation to not unduly wrong others in the course of that pursuit, but it is contrary to the mission of a government to benefit foreigners at the expense of its own population.
The real world is not like physics, where you can describe things with an equation and they pretty much hold up absolutely.

Interesting, isn't it considered impolite to speak in a language that someone in the group doesn't understand?

When I was in Germany, Germans even texted their SO in English in case I glance over their phones. Maybe the group I was in was exceptionally welcoming but everywhere in Europe where I lived(EU, non-EU, UK etc.) it was always considered rude to speak a language that others don't understand and everyone always tried their best to speak in English as a lingua franca.

If I happen to be in a working group that speaks multiple languages, I would definitely raise the question of speaking a common language in a work environment because you can't all be on the same page when your communications are patchy.

No. Drop has straightforward rules.

Find the scope you can refer to the variable in, i.e. the curly brackets it is contained in. That variable is dropped right before the closing curly bracket. Things are dropped in reverse order of creation.

(Similar rules apply to dropping temporaries)

> The Bill does not currently require Ofcom to consider the impact of compliance measures on children’s rights to access information, and on both children and adults’ privacy. This is a signicant omission, given the impact that any form of age-verication also has on adult users (who would also need to go through some form of age assurance to access services)

This is an interesting way to address some of the problems in the bill (though I can see why Google wants it in particular)

(It's also an interesting way of phrasing your lobbying: "the bill does not currently take into account [thing that we want it to take into account]" - phrased in a way that makes it seem like a silly omission by the lawmakers)
No, people immigrated here because it was better here, and it was better here because people immigrated.

And no, permanent residents do not have anything about them that is inherently more deserving of anything. That is in no way what a country is for.

A country provides social services to people in exchange for some control, so as to keep order. If you give control, you get services.

Land borders are not an important aspect of a country’s decision of who to provide services to, who that country can provide order to is.

Back in the days of slaves, someone would have argued how slavery isn't that bad because there were more worse things in their past and how slavery was an improvement in the lives of those slaves compared to what they would have had in their home country. Your argument reeks of the same moral flaw.
It should be “refuse to…” yea. I’m going to hazard a guess that the author you’re responding to missed the to there in their comment. It’s a common thing. Sometimes for example when I’m replying on mobile I might miss a word or autocorrect from my web browser may do something strange and I don’t catch it.

> I presume by “America” you mean the United States?

Yea that’s almost for sure what they mean. Typically people from the United States of America are called Americans and people across the world refer to those people as “Americans” and they/we also refer to ourselves and our country as “America” as a shortened form. I’m a little surprised you weren’t aware of this given your clearly written English but yep that’s what that means!
Going back many many decades my experience is that people were at least almost as bad about reading documents as they are today. The fact that people used overhead projectors and transparencies didn't change the fact that I spent a great deal of my time in meetings with slides.

> If you left your job based on such a promise, your damages are some significant fraction of the salary you left.

Some significant fraction of that salary for the minimum period you could have been employed by the company without violating the promise. If they hadn't rescinded the offer but had fired you (other than for an illegal reason, like racial discrimination) shortly after hiring, you would have no damages,so even to the extent the promise is binding under an estoppel theory, the damages will be limited.

> Or, if you sold your house in preparation to move, there are also pretty obvious damages.

How is it market value sale damages? You traded an asset for its market value, there's no economic loss.
I am sorry for not using the correct gender, which is obviously an error on my part. It is not correct to asume anything and it seriously hurts the conversation. Sometimes I whish we had a gender neutral language. It would make things fair.

You initial comment wasn't serious? You are somewhat confusing to talk to. Let's end this and agree to disagree.
The question is, why are they collecting it in the first place?
Well, if someone goes to prison for a relatively harmless drug, they're more likely to turn to hard drugs.

For hard drugs it can probably help centers do things like safe injection sites. Legalization also means you can regulate. That can help in a lot of ways: making drugs safer, mandating that done portion of proceeds gives towards prevention, etc. Addicts will be less afraid of seeking medical treatment if they know they won't be in legal trouble. (They wouldn't anyway, but I've heard a lot of people are paranoid about this.)

Anyway, I don't have any facts or figures. But it seems reasonable to me that legalization could, in some cases, help.
The two seem very unrelated IMO.

Global Entry involves signing up for proactive scrutiny and proving you’re trustworthy enough to avoid standard levels of screening. This involves a background check and in-person interview, as well as periodic renewal requirements.

There is no analogy that ties the two together, and at best, they’re tangentially related by a vague notion of privacy.

No one expects privacy when they sign up for global entry.

No one expects a complete lack of privacy when getting into a car.
No it isn’t, not so long as Instagram is the one making the decision.

Are you based in the US? Freedom of speech is deeply ingrained in American culture as one of our founding principles. It's very common to believe that the threshold must be extraordinarily high before suppression is valid.

Actually calling for specific individuals or groups of individuals to be lynched crosses a line with most people, but not all. Spreading sincerely held beliefs that are unintentionally harmful is below that line for many if not most.

This is so thoroughly ingrained in our legal system and culture that only Alito (who is on the conservative wing) dissented in Snyder v. Phelps [0]—all four liberal justices concurred that hate speech against gay people outside of a funeral could not be punished (in the circumstances in the case).

That's the realm of extreme skill, luck, and timing. There is no way there's a cookie-cutter solution to that and if people say there is I suggest they're no different to Tai Lopez etc...

Two solutions I have seen (thanks to the news):

1. Be being a world-class academic on a hot ML topic consulting to a huge tech company at a strategic level

2. Be the prime minister of a G8 country and consult for global investment firms

If you're a software engineer or even engineering leader at a startup/SME you're not going to find these contracts unless you're in the 0.001% of the market for a niche skill that's desperately in need.
Since your context is embedded Linux, I would recommend following Raspbian development for general purpose SBC embedded Linux or OpenWRT for smaller, more specialized devices.

Both systems have code bases and build systems that will build root filesystem and kernels for a wide range of devices.

By following development of a device (aka target) that interests you, you will see how drivers are stabilized with various patches applied over time.
Why would companies take the time, money, effort to nurture when talent is readily available as H1bs? The mostly American shareholders don’t approve that.
Yes, but many Chinese engineers have such a low level of proficiency that they genuinely struggle to communicate in spoken English. Pronunciation/accent can also be a major barrier to comprehension.
> you can apply for permanent residency while you have it.

Just to further complicate it, for many people _your employer_ has to apply for permanent residency on your behalf which is another 2 year ordeal and fair bit of money (that's just to get the green card priority date, not to mention waiting for the green card itself which varies by country). And that further indentures you since if you leave during that period you effectively abandon that application.
The US is not and has never been an exception, it has always recognized legal limits on free speech[0].

You may disagree with those limits but they've always been there.

[0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...
UX that limits expression (not linking urls, not allowing some speech) is just that.

These apps limit expression because it makes them more money. But they still limit expression. Instagram doesn’t want you linking out of instagram so you stay and view more ads. Tiktok bans for off site bios because it wants less controversy so they sell more ads. Etc etc.

The exception is shared libraries on Linux. Shared libraries are mmapped into the address space of the executable that uses them. Back in the day, mmap used to support a `MAP_DENYWRITE` flag, which it no longer does - so you _can_ write to a shared library that is currently in use. I found this out the hard way when a shared library that I'd written (which maintained some state in its constructor) started crashing mysteriously anytime it was used by more than one process. It took two weeks of debugging to figure out why this was happening. [1] has more details about `ETXTBUSY`, `MAP_DENYWRITE` and shared libraries.

No, a nation should not put just its citizens first, that’s nationalistic garbage. Firstly it presumes a nation decides who its citizens are through some fair system, and secondly it presumes its citizens are somehow inherently more deserving than its non citizens.

Anyone who agrees to the social contract gets to benefit from the nation. That’s what a country actually is.

That’s not how the law works.

You are misdirecting your anger at the program, instead of the abusers, which are never FAANG companies but large IT consultancy corporations like Tata.

If your company is hiring H-1B visa holders at a rate way below market, they are committing fraud. Again, not an issue with the visa holders themselves, but your company HR personnel being absolute crooks.

Here's why silencing critics is problematic.

The powers that be decided that Covid was a virus with a droplet based spread, like the flu, and they silenced domain experts who asserted that Covid was a fully airborne virus, like the measles.

The mitigations that were put in place targeted a droplet based spread (washing hands, wiping down surfaces, putting up sneeze guards, staying six feet apart) and were ineffective against a virus you contract by inhaling it as it floats in the air.

Unfortunately, it took two years for the truth about Covid to be begrudgingly accepted.

Security and having a fixed location on your desk ;)
The latest drug epidemic was caused by the pharma industry hooking people on oxy, and then the government clamping down on legal supply. Addicted people are still addicted and will get their fix. We just forced people into expensive black markets filled with cut product.

And actually, when you have people going to the black market for relatively benign things like weed, mushrooms, coke, ecstasy, etc, you expose them to these things getting cut with opioids, and developing an addiction they may never have intended. Why? Because it's profitable for drug dealers to have addicted customers.

The more interesting question to me is why you think prohibition still suddenly start working.
Cuts the profit of the dealers, frees resources needed elsewhere.
I also assume that as long as the car is in range of a 5G tower, the NSA is able to remotely activate the mic and modem to capture recordings, regardless of a person's location in the world and regardless of whether they're paying for service.

Ditto (eventually) for several other spy agencies around the world.

Given Apple's and Google's emphasis on security, I'm doubtful the same is happening for phones... but with targeted use of zero-days (assuming the right ones exist) it's at least possible in theory.

All well and good but I never mentioned performance. Of course they’re able to do the job, no doubts there. But the bottom line is US companies are firing US workers not because they need to, but because they want an excuse to hire cheaper workers through an immigration program.
Using fossil fuels to grow food, move things and people around, etc. all puts CO2 and other pollutants directly into the atmosphere. Using it to make lego, on the other hand, is comparatively benign.

If they can come up with a replacement plastic that has a lower environmental impact, that'd be great. However, they shouldn't use a less environmentally friendly alternative just because it's not based on fossil fuels. That would just be greenwashing.
