> I have known plenty of developers who may be great at coding a task but fall flat when architecting the same systems.

AFAIK, the whole reason for the role title "software developer" is to indicate a breadth that goes beyond mere coding and subsumes system design and requirements analysis.

So a software developer shouldn't fall down on that task.
Per my other comment in this sub-thread, my concern there is that the experimental group will still be getting whatever it is that's bad, and in the context of "unwanted permanent mental health effects" of recreational use the experiment would be unethical.

On the other hand, with the recent state-wide decriminalizations we're "conducting" a rather while uncontrolled experiment right now that ought to be able to yield better data on the biggest concerns, although that sort of epidemiological research is really, really hard, and few are unbiased.

Though, to be fair: the DC MJ laws were changed by the voters of DC, despite threats from Republicans to repeal that law. The Congress did not vote itself a puff-puff-pass law.

Also: you cannot toke up in the federal areas of DC (a large chunk of DC is under the feds, including national parks and monuments), despite what the DC law says.

The Emterpreter: Run asm.js code before it can be parsed
I was in the vehicle with a new 30 something driver when they made a large input to the wrong pedal and put the vehicle through a wall.

Ford F-150 had some minor damage to the bumper, the brick wall had major damage for the width of the vehicle (I think any modern pickup would fair similarly).

It is illegal to pay an H1-B Visa Holder differently to the prevailing wage. Converting to a Green Card should have no effect on your pay, and if it does, the employers are committing fraud.

You may have a side-effect of increased pay due to having more positions open to you. Holding an H1-B restricts you to a specific job description. For example, if you were a plain ordinary "Software Engineer" with nobody reporting to you, then you are not normally allowed to move to a role where you would have reports. This can be overcome with due-process and lawyers etc, but the basic idea is an H1-B worker is coming to the US to fill a job role not just a job.

So, when you convert to holding a Green Card, you can get promoted into positions which weren't previously open to you. You get the pay increase by being a better engineer and getting the better job.
Companies could obviate the need for this sort of reconnaissance by being more open about pay expectations and honest about experience requirements. They aren't because they perceive a benefit to holding an information advantage over applicants. If this information advantage wasn't widely sought by firms, then there would be no advantage to interviewing several times a month. So really, any given firm could avoid their time being wasted by the gp. But presumably they would rather have their time wasted than to give up their information advantage, so it doesn't really make sense to lay all the responsibility for wasting people's time at the feet of the gp. Most candidates just accept the information disadvantage. The gp doesn't, but that's merely a rational response to the incentives put forth by the job market.
In Australia we have rolled out widespread "booze busses" which block off major roads and breathalize everyone who comes through. This + major advertising campaigns have had a significant impact on drunk driving.

I am surprised at the lack of these kinds of measures in the US - and how casually most people treat drink driving.

These booze busses have now extended to testing for marijuana and methamphetamine, though neither drug is likely to be legalized in Australia anytime soon.

ehhh, when you say U.S. citizens are you referring to Anwar Al-Awlaki? Because that's a very specific strike in that he was a recruiter for Al Qaeda and was with 3 other Al Qaeda members in the same vehicle in northern Yemen.

Now you might say they could have let him go. But we did let Al-Baghdadi go, and equally charismatic islamist and look what that led to.

Not every U.S. citizen criminal gets a trial. For example if you go on a shooting rampage, and a cop kills you, well no trial, because you couldn't be captured. That's the way this situation was handled in yemen. Why? Because the Yemeni government tried him in absentia and ordered him to be captured dead or alive. If you commit a crime in another country you are subject to their laws.

Face it it's an exception that statistically 1 out of 300000000 would have a concern over. So lose the hyperbole it's not going to serve your case as well as more factual statements would.
He's not an illegal alien. In the article, he said that he has a greencard (he's probably naturalized by now). And commercial drones are used by many industries legally - film being one of them.

he was an illegal resident for 8 months in 2007 and not a single part of his business is illegal. I would like to see some proofs of your ridiculous claims.
The parent poster said nothing deserving of this rebuttal.
You're not the only one. Just about everything you said applies for me, and I'm willing to bet there is a silent majority in the same situation. I would put in my two weeks notice in a heartbeat if a company that let me work from home made an offer, but so far I have to keep telling the Google recruiters that no, I'm still not interested in relocating.

Hint to recruiters: first thing to do if you have a talent "shortage" - consider that maybe you aren't doing enough to attract talent, and communicate it up the chain to let management know why your recruitment and retention rates suck.

As far as I know, nothing has been released, and there is no public timescale or plan for doing so. I don't doubt the intention, but no, we shouldn't count these chickens just yet.

So, please read the last paragraph as "I don't believe there is any mature, production-grade parallel RDBMS in the open source world, so this has the potential to be quite interesting."
I haven't read it, and it may be too advanced for this purpose, but Landau's books are generally held in extremely high regard and volume six of his Course of Theoretical Physics is on fluid mechanics.

For what it's worth, volumes two and three cover electrodynamics and quantum mechanics, respectively.
May further want to account for income tax laws according to state. Take-home pay is really what we're after.
If you have a system with more than stereo (say 5.1) then by default pulseaudio upmixes all sources with fewer channels by simply duplicating all the channels on the same side and mixing everything to the centre channel. This makes it impossible to listen to music recorded with any meaningful stereo separation. The workaround is to mute all the extra channels.

There is an option to disable upmixing entirely but that triggers at least a couple of bugs. One involves the VU meter indications (shrug). The other causes pulseaudio to emit silence instead of mono streams (fatal).

This bug has been open for over a decade now. At least one patch has been submitted and shrugged off. If you look at the tracker you will see lots of bugs like these where knowledge of the entire system is required to fix them. What seems to have happened is that once the original developers left, some bugs became eternal.
Great point!

Let me help you out. Your hemlock hypothetical already exists. It's a Japanese fish called Fugu and the fatality rate from consumption thereof is 6.8%. I would never advocate for making Fugu illegal.
This is awesome! Im not sure what you can do with it, but skin temperature and heart rate both seem like something that can be used to measure things like focus and emotion (real mood bracelet). Im curious about the kinds of things people will do with this! Im also super curious on the app store that will be available for it. Will probably be a itunes kind of thing where you have to plug the thing into a computer to get the app. Its an exciting time to be a developer!
It also would presumably discriminate against entire swaths of people (think old folks, potentially disabled drivers, etc).

Not that I think anyone incapable of driving should be, but any impairment test would flunk certain groups of 100% sober people working at their best ability (not sleep-drunk, either).

tldr; turnover of visa holders vs. non-visa holders should be used as the metric more than wages. Significantly lower turnover of visa holders suggests they're being exploited since those who can quit and find another job do.

But this doesn't work. For many people on H1B's the visa and greencard sponsoring has tremendous value. The do depress wages, but it's because of the risk around the visas.

If you have an H1B, you're less likely to work at startups -- if the company goes bust and you need to find a job fast, you're at tremendous risk of needing to leave the US. You have 4-5 weeks to get a new job, but it has to start by then. Thinking about how long interview cycles can be at some companies, 4 weeks from application to start date is challenging.

Also, people getting sponsored are much less likely to leave. This should be the real metric for evaluation -- turnover. If you're on a visa, especially if you're getting sponsored for a green card, you're much less likely to quit and go to another company. You can get hired at a competitive salary, but over a few years and a few promotions you can be underpaid.

To completely stereotype, I used to work with a ton of these guys at Amazon -- they're all in line for Green Cards and will not consider quitting or even complaining about things until they get it. The turnover among non-visa people is much higher.
It depends on what you mean by "understand everything". That is a very terse, densely packed sentence of jargon intended for practitioners but a physicist who is a skilled communicator could describe the main results to a high school kid. To be able to fully understand the arguments leading to those results... it would take very serious study and decently sophisticated mathematical background before even starting.

I'm wondering where the data came from and how accurate it it is.

"In 2012 the Oregon software industry gave jobs to 38 foreign software engineers."

Ok so here I am assuming you mean 38 new H1B engineers were hired in 2012. There is no way that could be true, I nearly hired and processed that many H1Bs personally in 2012. I was working with several others with similar or higher numbers. And that's just one company in Oregon.

Not trying to nitpick with anecdotal data, but it just seems wrong to me.
> What's the current status of Bohm's hidden variable theory? Does it stand up in light of the Bell test

In "normal" quantum mechanics we have the wave-particle dualism. A particle behaves also like a wave, whatever that means.

In Bohm's hidden variable theory, also known as "pilot wave theory" the wave and the particles are separate. The pilot wave is a wave of unknown making (the theory does not say what it would be made of), and this wave follows the normal quantum mechanical behaviour. Then particles "ride" on this wave. So all the quantum mechanical wave effects happen in the pilot wave, and then the classical particle-like particles just follow theirs paths, already laid out by the wave.

Although "spooky action at a distance" is also experimentally verified, explaining this by postulating a wave that fills the whole universe, and explicitly reacts spookily over distances, makes the whole "spooky action at a distance" uncomfortable explicit in this theory, so it doesn't appeal to most physicists.

"The de Broglie–Bohm theory makes the same (empirically correct) predictions for the Bell test experiments as ordinary quantum mechanics. It is able to do this because it is manifestly nonlocal."

Seconding this. The data is thorough and fascinating, but impossible to compare between any two. Not being able to select two at the same time is fine, but it'd be really nice to at least be able to switch between two without getting stuck with apples and oranges.

It's illegal to hire H1-Bs in preference to citizen workers, yet that goes on all the time.

Yes, it sucks when an immigrant can do a better job than you huh. But don't worry, between the massive immigration BS, absurd healthcare costs and other things there's less and less reasons for someone to immigrate (legally, or even illegally) to the US

Makes sense to me, and I think this is the future of the web. HTTP will simply cease to be a viable option in the next 3-4 years if cert prices are reduced (or eliminated) and SNI becomes widely available.

Good for Let's Encrypt in taking the initiative to make this happen sooner rather than later.

Legally it should be the same. But in reality foreign workers have way less leverage when negotiating.

That's a good idea but it would make showing my screen to co-workers more difficult. It would also, no doubt, make me the butt of a number of jokes about "What is Josh doing that's so secretive" to which I would like to reply "None of your fucking business" but we all know I can't/won't. I think what sucks the most is the people ALWAYS making the decisions on how offices are laid out are the same people who have offices so they really don't care about the people in cubes.

Note: While I'm not a huge fan of cubicles I don't have a huge issue with them, just how ours are laid out (Large cube with a desk in each corner facing the wall). I can see some advantages but IMHO the privacy issue trumps them all.

Again, I want to thank you for your suggestion but I just don't think it will work for me.

I'm pretty sure no one stays illegally for only 8 months than gets a Greencard after that time.
Mid-career federal government lawyers in an expensive city make $130k a year. Class action attorneys generally get a significant fraction of the value of the settlement. And the value of the settlement is calculated in kind of a crazy way particularly when it comes to injunctive relief.

In the google buzz case, which resulted in no monetary relief to the class in general (representative plaintiffs were given a small award, the rest was cy pres) class plaintiffs were awarded over $2.1M plus expenses for 2550 billable hours* over the course of a calendar year.

*That's a little understated because the filing that number came from was near the end of the litigation, but not at the very end.

This site says that got the data from the government. http://www.salar.ly/
The data would be more meaningful if it separated out direct hires (Company X directly hires the employee) verses proxy hires (Company X contracts Company Y for employees) as generally the later relationship is a lot more exploitive than the former in terms of salaries as its much easier to hide the actually end of day take home salary.

Not sure how you would do that.
Why Hollywood will never look the aame gain on film
Pretty sure 2x-3x number is bullshit. H1-B visas are transferable between employers. If someone is paying you 1/2 or 1/3 the market rate, it pretty much a given that some other employer will easily pay you 20-30% more and hire you away.

I would say 20% is probably the higher end of increase, if any.
> Landau's books

Landau's presentation is extremely condensed. Griffiths is much more friendly towards the reader.

I would compare Landau to Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. Some people do read them, but the rest of us just hold them in extremely high regard :-).
I do not own anything that I wouldn't hold for years and years.

My plan to make money via knowledge and work is through writing software. The risky instruments I hold are options in the company I work for and equity in my own projects. I want to spend near 0 time on financial engineering -- the purpose of the portfolio is to balance the risks I take at work.

My accumulated wealth is in low-fee index funds (mostly stocks, but a fair amount of bonds and international).

In your specific example, BIPIX is trying to outdo the Dow Jones U.S. Biotechnology Index. In 3yrs, DJBioTech returned ~200% and BIPIX is better (~240%). I'd have to know the fees to know which returned better net fees. The BIPIX managers claim they are going for 1.5 return of the DJBioTech, which they have not in the 3 year period. In the 1 year they are swapping back and forth (BIPIX currently (EDIT: I said ahead, but it's actually) behind not taking fees into account)

If I wanted the return of a specific sub-market industry, I would buy the unmanaged index that best represents that industry.

Basically -- we have no evidence that mutual fund managers can beat indexes in the long term, but we know fees and taxes for sure.
There's plenty of roadblocks in the US.

It's often argued they violate the constitution--that police are stopping every car for no reason.

Police get around that by calling it a "safety check."

There's plenty of videos about how to "beat" them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLmKl60VrWM

You can see from this video that the cops are clearly violating rights, and someone who knows what their rights are can stand up for themselves, so to speak.

There's another one I can't find where someone hangs a note out the window and gets waved through.

Can you get hit with a DUI without a blood test result in the U.S.?

Breathalysers pretty much only give largely inaccurate results when you still have alcohol residue in your throat or mouth. If you rinse out or wait a moment, they'll probably fall in line with blood tests.
With io.js coming on to the scene, I've recently revisited my thoughts on using JavaScript for scientific/statistical computing. With ES6, V8 Turbofan coming down the pipe, and enough support for serious functional programming (e.g. fantasy land, transducers, ramda, etc), I've decided to shift from using Scala/Haskell/R to JavaScript. I think there is a bright future in these areas and a lot of room for devs to make a name for themselves doing this kind of development. R is particularly easy to beat on the performance front, from the libs I have rewritten to JS to date.
