Right, however this is where the details start to muddy the conclusion.

The fact is the H1-B visa program is completely abused in order to bring in cheaper employees at the expense of the rest of the community. These H1-B employees have little recourse, limited career potential and supress wages. The uncertainty of their immigration status means they don't buy houses, start families, or participate in the community. The benefits economists suggest don't materialize.

Futher, the H1-B program has a negative effect on higher education. The H1-B program allows employers to avoid the H1-B dependent designation if they hire immigrants that possess a masters or higher degree from a US education institution. It is a well known backdoor into the US and drives up the cost of education and pushes the citizens of the US out of the classroom. The employers list a masters degree as a requisite which the citizen doesn't have because they couldn't afford it. Take a look at the UT Dallas enrollment numbers [0]. Nearly 90% of the CS masters students are international, and of the entire engineering school 84% of them are international.

It's a mess and it needs to be fixed.

In another life I had to take aircraft crash response training, and was in charge of recovery (salvage, battle-field repair etc). The response to an aircraft with composite materials is totally different. With normal construction we could get to work as soon as the fire, was out and any hazardous liquids were taken care of. Crashes involving damage to composite structures required that the damaged areas be sprayed down with a varnish like chemical by the same troops who handle Chemical weapon response (they had special suits). Then there would be air particulate tests before we could move in. Here is a military study: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a420193.pdf

While in undergrad I spent about 5 years working with carbon fiber in a motorsports setting. I did a lot of cutting and sanding without a mask. There were weeks I would blow my nose 3 days after working on a part and still find black specks. I guess I'll find out in a few years...

You can. At least, this seemed to work effectively for me:

But carbon fiber is used in applications where high-friction (burning) is likely to occur... It is harder to burn metal.

And there are levels of dangerous, based on size and shape of microparticles.
That has nothing to do with in-browser scrolling of the page.
I'm so put off by Facebook that I'm even put off by articles describing how one is put off by Facebook.

Full disclosure - I closed my account 2 years ago. Did not miss it even for 10 seconds.
The USAF was concerned at one point that should an F-16 burn on a runway, it would release carbon-fiber strands which would float around the base and short out electrical equipment (communications gear, phone switch, power generation, etc).

Seems like the concern was correct, but misplaced. We had a plane catch fire on a taxiway and burn, and no electrical mayhem resulted. Perhaps we should have worn our gas masks -- but we didn't know at the time.
since the page is also available via https, using protocol relative urls for the embeds should fix the issue (src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SOpwHaQnRSY" instead of src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SOpwHaQnRSY")
That would depend on who he's calling "us". It doesn't include me! I read "us" as "people, all people in general" and disagreed.

The statement "Customary measures make a lot more sense to us people who prefer Customary measures" is true but only as an uninteresting tautology. Do you think he meant "Customary measures make a lot more sense to us Americans" ? That is, "Americans excluding Canadians, immigrants and scientifically literate".

The statement read as "Customary measures make a lot more sense to us people who were raised on them" is true. But by not being explicit about that he is misleading.
I think this is really cool. Clarifying question from these two statements that seem to conflict:

> The goal of the CheckUp project is to detect any serious sign of depression, self-harm or suicide posted to a social network and provide peer support by notifying a concerned party.

> The app works by checking the tweets on your home timeline every few minutes and sending you an email notification if a tweet is flagged.

Shouldn't it instead make the person signing up the "concerned party" to be notified via e-mail, and instead have that concerned party specify which twitter feeds to watch? I'm probably missing something here.
Barrym is probably right: HTTPS everywhere forces ssl for the site, but not for the embedded videos. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail though, no need to ask.
Likely because they require complex structures processes to create, not just pressure and time and heat. "Danger to others" is not a factor in nature's selection process.

Blame the offshore firms like Cognizant then. They are the ones scooping up 50%+ of the H-1B quota:

>IT service firms use H-1B workers in offshore outsourcing contracts. IT workers affected by offshoring decision will typically train their replacements as a condition of severance. This has been the situation, for instance, at Northeast Utilities in Connecticut, which late last year announced plans to outsource some its IT work to Infosys and TCS and cut around 200 IT workers.

>"The offshore outsourcing firms are once again getting the majority of the visas," said Ron Hira, a public policy professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. "The program continues to promote the offshoring of high-wage American jobs."

It really is unfortunate. The worst part is that as an Indian male (granted I grew up in the Middle East), I didn't realize my mom and the girls in the country were facing a 10x difficulty multiplier on their lives. And this is normal. Most of our males don't even realize how bad it is, even the educated, cultured, open-minded ones.

Let alone the men, even the women have to accept the misogyny and think it's only right that a woman must know how to cook above all else and be at home, listen to her husband when he curbs her career progression, etc.

I only began to understand when I went away to college. Hearing white people complaining about misogyny, and my first thought was "this is nothing!" and realized how much sadder it was that was what came to mind.

The problem is that a lot of the misogyny is defended by religion even, with women denied entry into temples (and by extension lots of solemn gatherings) if they're on their periods. Apparently because couple of thousand years ago women would make temple toilets messy and that was desecration of sacred grounds. Today my response is just "WTF?" when my mom still observes this when our family goes to a temple anywhere in the world, and doesn't enter.
Define 'exploit'. If people are starving, essentially if you don't feed them for free, you're exploiting them unless you too are starving.

That's the rule of charity that I live by. But ofcourse people have different definitions of exploitation, because like 'evil' its a pretty nebulous word.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback (I am the author).

The example applications probably haven't received enough love. They are standalone apps and there is only so much you can shrink the code. If you are using your own engine it is likely that you've already done initialisation and you have helpers to load shaders easily.

Imgui.cpp/Imgui.h themselves are render agnostic to enable portability on embedded systems and consoles where OpenGL is unavailable so it is important it stays this way. However it is perfectly possible that we could rework the sample applications to become more like "drop-in" for a given architecture (OpenGL+glfw coming to mind as being a common case).

It also appears that I could make the OpenGL sample simplier by using the fixed function pipeline and the glScissor() function so I will try that.

This is a first release and it hasn't been used or touched by more than half a dozen people so it may take a few patches until I can make the sample application simpler.

Best.

For full-color clickable demos I've had a lot of fun with invisionapp.com That being said, several clients of mine have preferred balsamiq.com, I'm not sure why exactly, they just found it easier to use.
A VPN + Incognito should be enough. Not to truly anonymize you, but probably enough to disable the personalization layers. It doesn't make economic sense to waste engineering hours and computing time trying to show ads to the 0.0001% of paranoid users, which are likely blocking them anyway, even if the data is there.

Of course, there's no such thing as the vanilla user. You'll still be targeted on generic features (location, browser, OS, etc). A vanilla Linux user in SF is different than a vanilla Windows XP user in London.

Isn't this still a problem in the south too? The article clearly mentions its talking about India on average- Incidentally, the states you mentioned are also among the most populous. Most of the problems discussed do exist in the south as well although not to the same extent as the north. Only Kerala seems to be relatively less afflicted- with a favourable sex ratio, less absolute poverty and sanitation issues. Even in Kerala, the practices of dowry and favouring of sons is widely prevalent.

I, for one think the article is commendable in bringing new insight to problems facing us in India.

Scout by Telenav seems to be well thought of, I suspect that's the best drop in replacement for Google Maps on iPhone:

http://www.scout.me/

But I'd say OSM mobile apps tend to be a bit more focused (or bitty) than Google Maps. So, for instance:

Maps.me - concentrates on offline viewing, target market seems to be tourists, but probably useful in general.

Komoot - concentrates on hiking/biking, planning routes, giving back surfaces of trails, elevation pathways, etc.
That's the path Buzzfeed has purported to take since the beginning, and as much as I dislike their current offering, they have struck true to that path. I remember when buzzfeed first came out and it was nothing but the lists of images stolen from reddit (pretty similar to 9gag). Now they have a decent amount of original content, and I suspect their goal is to improve the quality of content over time. That said I think they will always be more entertainment focused but there isn't anything necessarily wrong with that.

Nothing. The way arbitrary data is stored in the blockchain is encoding it in the financial transactional data.

For example, you could use a similar method to "store" data using Paypal: use the amount of cents in each transaction to encode a byte of data (e.g. $1.17 means 0x75 etc.) and make transfers to random people until enough bytes have been transferred. That's it, your copyrighted data or CP is now forever "stored" on Paypal servers.

I don't think this accusation will hold up in any reasonable court. Taking into account the cost of storing data (20 bytes in a single output of minimum 5400 satoshi + fees) your hypothetical instructions and code to retrieve the images would be of comparable size to any images you can reasonably store.
I would also assume people working in the cycling industry who've been working with carbon fiber for decades would have the same exposure. The first carbon fiber frame was made in 1975:

http://www.jimlangley.net/ride/bicyclehistorywh.html
(its at the bottom of the page in the timeline)

As with all manufacturing processes, I'm pretty sure in 1975, it wasn't nearly as precise or safe it is now and am wondering how many people were exposed to these fumes. If you wanted a good control group, I'd think they would be a prime candidate to examine the effects of this on the lungs.
I'd be pretty surprised if most people on HN was not living in a country that was as rich as Australia or richer.

Seems like negotiations would be pretty one-sided in both cases. For sellers, they are so busted up from having a failed business, getting a good price and terms are not at the top of mind. For buyers, they need office equipment pronto to get their people productive in a way that price is a secondary factor.

I'm referring to the local STEM workers who operate at a class based disadvantage.

Its fundamentally a zero sum game, actually its a declining sum game for anyone middle class or below. So a guy from Canada or India or whatever gets a job, that means the local who would have gotten it is unemployed, mom and kids on welfare, etc.

Also there's a local utility who advertises for a $60K CCIE as part of their H1B program and aside from the $100K+ local who now has to work at walmart or pull cable or something, there are secondary effects on the local marketplace such that the $60K H1B can't participate in the local economy from retail to home construction quite like the now unemployed formerly $100K local. So that's $40K/yr not going to walmart / real estate developers / whatever. True, every penny of that $40K goes to the execs bonuses, but they might not live in that area (or even in that country) and there is a declining economic effect as fewer people have money (A poor dude with his first $100 bill contributes toward more economic activity (velocity of money, etc) than a rich dude with his millionth $100 bill)
What is base load? Its the minimum load required in a network or is it those plants for whom it is uneconomical to go below a certain output.

For the first no power plant is truly base load as all plants must shutdown sometimes. So you need to look at a system. So taking into account that in a large area like California it always blows some where, can wind generate the minimal base load at any time. For wind the law of large numbers eventually means that given a per wind turbine capacity factor of 36% a pure wind net achieves 36% capacity factor. If the 36% is the day peak load, then at 18% you are at night low load, considering that wind can be base load.

On the second base load is pump it when you got it e.g. because it costs to much to ramp down (coal, nuclear) or because you got the power anyway (wind, day/noon solar) then yes wind is base load.

Single wind turbines are not base load power plants, but when you have thousands of them over a large area they start to guarantee with high accuracy a minimal load with very good prediction properties.

Of course this ignores economic efficiency, but that depends very much on oil prizes.

e.g.
The us uses 18 million barrels of oil a day. That means the yearly oil consumption of the US is very roughly equivalent to the volume of oil required to flood Rhode island state one foot deep. Which on the face of it does not seem economically efficient but at the moment it is.
For me it would be have been more interesting to see one object shot at multiple times from different angles and velocities.
