Nope, the US does not have a skills based migration system. It's entirely family based. Opposite of Australia, which is built around skilled migration and does not give preference to family members. It's ridiculous, we turn our backs on the highly skilled in order to admit someone because they are the parent or sibling of a US citizen. Why should we import parents with no guarantee they will do anything but need expensive Medicare and Social Security in old age?

Okay, I'll ask it: why does it take the U.S. to get involved in fighting corruption against an almost entirely non-U.S. organization that governs a sport that's not very popular here? Why isn't this happening in Europe or Central/South America where the impact is more immediate?
> You're suggesting that laws should be enforced in accordance with how they should have been written, not how they are written

For Canada hack - you might actually like it better in Canada than in the US. I first moved to Canada after finishing my graduate studies in the US about 15 years ago with the plan to go back in a couple of years.

I liked Canada so much that I decided to stay here (Toronto, Ontario) and have been happy about my decision ever since.

Yes, taxes are a little bit higher, but the place feels saner and safer. Various levels of government are supportive of new businesses (lots of incentives, grants, R&D support programs), especially in technology sector.
Using "Consistent Hash" [1], for instance.

I had to go through FCPA training for my employer a while ago, so take all this with a grain of salt:

As I understand it, the FCPA covers U.S. companies and their foreign affiliates and companies/organizations that trade securities in the U.S. If any employee or agent of such an organization bribes a foreign official, the DOJ or the SEC can go after them. "Foreign official" is defined really broadly as well. It includes foreign government employees, but also employees of international agencies and employees of government-managed industries (like doctors working for a state university hospital.) Also, the payment has to be illegal and not just "grease" money to speed up an ordinary task.

Again, I'm not a lawyer, but the DOJ might be able to draw a line from various U.S. individuals to various FIFA board members or from US Soccer to FIFA itself depending on how broad the definitions are. If they get that second one, everybody on FIFA's board is screwed.
There is no population on earth that has been grateful for "democracy bombs" to have been dropped on them.

Bad projects, for however you choose to define "bad", are the price of experience as a consultant. There are bad projects in the sense that they go on longer than you expected and there are bad projects because you don't get paid, for however you choose to define "not getting paid." Short term advice:

1. If the scope is expanding and you're not getting paid, stop work.

2. If the scope is expanding and you're getting paid, attach a higher price to the additional work. That price should be high enough that it is worth your while to do it...though I'm not sure what the pissed off fiance market rate is these days.

3. If the client wants changes, then that obviously changes the schedule. You are not responsible for maintaining the same velocity beyond the time period associated with the initial project scope...your velocity can change. The client can then prioritize based on their new scope.

I had a very similar project. Client came back for phase two two years later after making a mess of a lot of relationships during phase one. I learned to put an expiration date on my rates after which if the project was not completed, I had the right to renegotiate my terms, and that most people recover from being let down when it comes to bargain priced services.

Good luck.
That may explain it, I just noticed sanatorum has been subtly removed from our standard spell checkers.

The Product Way
Mandrake was my first successful Unix-like experience as well - I had spend a few days trying to get Red Hat to work at one point, but it never did (video card drivers were the issue IIRC). Mandrake actually worked and let me play around with it. I dual booted it for awhile but it didn't really catch on with me; nonetheless it was an important first experience. (Later a friend convinced me to install FreeBSD and I took to that much better. I avoided Linux for years after that in favor of BSD, though eventually I moved to Debian for most cases. Keep being tempted to go back to FreeBSD though...)

TL;DR: This string of characters will crash an iPhone. People have shown this is related to the way notifications are displayed. Therefore, anytime this shows up in a notification, the iPhone will restart. Affects the Apple Watch too. There's more info and speculation in the reddit comments.
That's just... creepy.

To the parent comment: I really hope that such a system is used only to filter very very concrete "facts", because especially in the area of science, things can change quite quickly and it would be horrible if something really true in new research got smothered by that.

It's hard to give any new examples precisely because those things tend to be "unthinkable", so this will be a rather contrived and anachronistic one, but imagine if Google thought the Sun rotated around the Earth based on the large body of knowledge society had accumulated in the past, and penalised new research that indicated otherwise...

Simply is never that simply. There is always something that happen to suck in IT. You think you have done everything right and sometime, you just made a little misinterpretation that screw everything and you can lose a lot of time figuring out what.

That being said, I had no problem installing go on my ubuntu, despite the fact that I consider that the installation process sucks.

It's interesting to see a wider acceptance of the reality of the mess of Android.

Really the shocking thing was how good the iPhone 6 was, and how ready to switch to iOS places like Korea were when the larger devices became available, when previously it had been assumed those markets were lost to Apple. The emerging social class type distinction emerging globally between Android and iOS users is a real and growing problem for Google, especially combined with Apple's probable search engine launch.

The noise from my network in Android land has been that Lollipop remains a disaster. Easily the worst version since Android became popular, and it will be very curious to see what, if anything, Google have proposed for the resulting mess at I/O.

It says quite a lot that the most exciting thing about Android for I/O is the rumoured stripped down headless version for Internet-of-Things devices, which may become an accidental foundation for a cleaned up future Android proper.
And your country's armed expedition funding. FIFA is less than 1/100th that misdirected since 2003 on the two big ones.
The Australian work visa is even friendlier than the Canadian one. I'm not sure how the Australian citizenship process works but it used to be you could apply for permanent residency shortly after going there for University. I think it's a bit stricter now but worth looking into.
Yes. For example, this allows the Rust standard library to convert &str (UTF-8) to &std::ffi::OsStr (WTF-8 on Windows) without converting or even copying data.

"I feel like Google isn't doing a good service by providing quick and very biased answers to very big questions."

Probably not. But I think the alternative -- Google choosing what it (or rather, an internal committee) thinks is the best answer and providing it -- may even be worse, depending on the topic and your personal opinions.

If Google were the United States government, we'd probably be having fits over such a possibility. Heck, people (rightly) have had fits over such instances. I have equal distaste over a large multinational corporation doing the same.

Mandrake was the first distro that allowed me to reliably connect my audio modem, my video card, and my sound card. It was my go-to OS for a long time after that.

Does AWS does this with their AMIs? Everything you listed can be applied in virtually the same way with VM images, and their are community based AMIs with all sorts of vulnerabilities and non-updated code, people just know not to use them or build their own.
> examiners do make mistakes sometimes

That is true, but it misses the point. Apart from the occasional honest mistake, there is a system of perverse incentives that results in the reliable and predictable issuing of bogus patents even when examiners do their jobs well.

> your claims look pretty lengthy.

You must not have read many patents. I have one independent claim and six dependent claims, each with a single minor tweak on the independent claim. That's well below average.
I think he's comparing US's relationship with Ukraine to a hypothetical Russia-Mexico one. I'm not going to be as bold and say "US fostered the Ukranian coup", but I am certain they were very happy about it.

The deposed former president of Ukraine, who happened to be close to Russia, had been democratically elected - his removal most certainly wasn't democratic by any stretch of the imagination. You can tell infer the US's political attitudes if you parse the language of US media / politicians at the time. If they are "protesters" rather than "rioters" or "insurrectionists" - they are friends. I perfectly understand that it furthers US interest to pull out Ukraine from Russia's sphere of influence.

Just my $0.02, as an outsider.

"The challenge probably takes 4-8 hours, though."

The problem with that is you aren't the only one doing this and when I am job searching I am applying to many companies. So now I have 10 different companies asking for an 8 hour code test to be completed within a couple business days. Meanwhile I still have a job to hold down.
It's a massive time commitment to make to just one company without knowing if the work put in will result in an offer.

I much rather prefer companies that aren't lazy interviewing and will look over some of my github repos and discuss those with me to gauge my experience. There is no one size fits all answer to interviewing, but 4-8 hour code tests(plus interviews) just isn't one I can get on board with.

There are hash schemes that prevent that, however. Look up consistent hashing.

And you could probably have a (small) hashmap that allows overrides for the most used pages.
The CONCACAF headquarters is in Miami, FL. If you notice all the indictments are against current or former CONCACAF board members. The ones who are not are part of sports agents/promoters with a US presence.

Chuck Blazer who was CONCACAF secretary while Wilson was president also just plead guilty to corruption charges. It's also widely believed that he's also one of the main informants.
We do this at my company and it is a fucking nightmare. Why? Because there are like 4 different operating environments and there isn't an official way to do installations and you also have to manage site installations of various packages for each version of each language dependency. And god forbid some environment variable is pointing to the wrong version of something because it's not just as simple as setting PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH when every thing and its mother tries to set its own fucking environment variables all pointing to wherever they think they were compiled at.

No, it is much much MUCH better to actually have an application build with its dependencies and deploy with its dependencies. And you know how you fix issues with security patches? You have a real build system that rebuilds your binaries and you redeploy regularly.

>The middle east is migrating to democracy and has the least amount of dictators in charge in my lifetime, thanks to US foreign policy.

US/Western policy in the region can hardly be described as pro-democracy. We've been propping up dictators and overthrowing democratically elected regimes from Iran in 1953 to Egypt in 2013.
Probably because said countries have their own interests/benefits from FIFA. More so than say the US. Just a speculation though. There's also the fact that say a country such as Argentina were to do it, no one would really take them that seriously.
What if a significant number of the people who adopted Android as their first smartphone move on to something else as they become power users? In Apple’s last two earnings calls, Timothy D. Cook, the chief executive, reported “a higher rate of switchers than we’ve experienced in previous iPhone cycles.”

Are they trying to insinuate that power users move to iOS? I'd consider myself a power user, but for that very reason I've stuck with Android. Higher-end Android phones provide much more for me than iOS can with its closed-ecosystem.

Also, are these "switchers" coming from Android, or a mix of other sources?
Go: The price of interface{}
maybe you didn't read the article it says that Google also benefits from iOS users(although it says it's a risk that they lose the higher end niche), and the "poor" people are the ones actually ditching the google ecosystem entirely. The article never talks about poor people, instead it refers to places where google services are unavailable/unpopular, e.g. China.

edit: For those down voting, could you please quote the part of the article that implies this: " A lot of poor people use android , poor people don't spend a lot and don't click many ads.Therefore Android is doomed."

it actually contradicts the parent comment: " For years, Android apps were a backwater, but sales have lately picked up."

"In 2014, Google Play sold about $10 billion in apps, of which Google kept about $3 billion (the rest was paid out to developers). "

"Google’s app revenue is becoming an increasingly meaningful piece of its overall business, and it is also growing rapidly."
Contrary to popular opinion, FIFA does quite a bit of revenue in the US, and the Concacaf has been ground zero for much of the corruption issues. In many cases, money is being issued from US banks to be used in the laundering and corruption.

And the US may be the one country where FIFA doesn't have enough pull to graft their way around the problem.

There was a great documentary a few years ago about the US links...
Berlin Airbnb Occupancy Peaks for the UEFA Champions League Final
For one, I'd say that the US is the biggest entity of the bunch, and would most likely have the most pull to actually get something done.
You can definitely be a founder. You should seek one or two other people with complementary skills: architect, vision type people who have solid technical skills.

You could then start with a Mastermind group with people like this, then talk about doing a joint venture (company, website, blog, podcast, etc.).
There are some good dependency managers out there. I personally like gb: http://getgb.io/, but there is GoDep and GPM as well (which are more similar to Rust's Cargo in the way they work).

This translation of Suvorov's "Inside the soviet army" was a real treat to a history buff

Actually quite topical given russias recent escapades - this details pretty well the society and the power dynamics that gave birth to the current situation. Also reads like an alternate version of "Catch-22" except the content should be 100% autobiographical.
Dang, I always figured that would be unsafe eventually.

I wonder, does this make stuff like this unsafe:

C.somefunc(&thing)

i.e. can stack address change now?
Sure it can. But why would I pick it up over, say, rust? Rust gives me the productivity of a dynamic language, and the speed of a systems language. Julia gives the same. So, given similar pros/cons, the choice comes down to aethsetics, and Julia just didn't give me a compelling enough reason to switch.

I'm not so sure how beneficial that will be. Some of the previous investments will carry over, but it will be more limited than one might first expect. The Olympics is a different kind of event and is focused on a single metro area or region while the World Cup is nationwide. Any money spent outside Rio and the surrounding area for the World Cup will be of little use for hosting The Olympics.
I wonder what would happen if you attempted the same study with AWS AMI's on the official images. Get the latest versions, don't update your distro, and see how many vulnerabilities you get. How often does AWS really rebuild their official AMIs?

Ultimately keeping your OS completely up to date is on you, not Docker, not Amazon, you. VM's suffer from the exact same problems as Docker containers.

Edit: Also, security issues with using community AMIs are already well known, should be no surprise the same applies to Docker community images.
The name might throw you off, but it's very much serious. It's like CESU-8 and Modified UTF-8, which both deal with various encoding issues in legacy systems by modifying UTF-8:

Until people organize and fight the systematic (unintentional I believe) dumbing down of poor urban students and see it as a form of racism which propels inequality nothing is really going to change.

Also the mental jump. Just because something is easy for them to do doesn't mean it is worth the distraction cost.

Github builds tools for developers. Atom, chat (abandoned), Pages, Gists, and github.com all fit within this. They tie into how teams operate. Serving JS is tangentially related — certainly something a web developer does — but not really core to their mission.
Android can run on $40 phones and therefore widely used .To me that's the most exciting thing about android ,that's almost as huge as what Microsoft did in the 90s ,you know making actual impact. There are more people talking to Google voice than Siri
