If we fix the issue with the H1-B system by letting them become permanent residents quicker, wouldn't that fix the problem faster?. The consequences would be that there is no longer a motivation to only hire H1-B workers.
Thank you for mentioning Patrice O'Neal and Norm MacDonald in the same breath. We really lost comedy greats that cannot be filled by anyone anytime soon.
Interesting you bring this up. A counter example would be what's happening in Balochistan. It has a majority Muslim population, is India forme ting separatism there too?
While it is unfortunate this person have not liked the move to Austin. I personally moved from the Bay Area to Austin early 2010s. I can finally have a reasonably affordable place to raise a family. Summers are bad yes. But, i grew up in even hotter place before. For a mid 30s guy like myself, i think I made a right move by moving here. Don't get me wrong I love the Bay area. But family life and simple life triumphs any other benefits for me. Which I have plenty here in Austin. If you are thinking about moving to Austin, it really is a good place.
Very informative article. Never knew different aspects of the DRM. However i chuckled when I saw the names Ram, Shyam and Hari. Not too often do you see any names besides Alice and Bob.
Unfortunately these things only lead to two different internet(s), one that is uncensored, free and the other approved and big brother. Why aren't we striving for improving the critical thinking of average people, instead of banning thought that is "inaccurate".
I really appreciate Spotify for treating me as an adult and letting me make the decision. If it's a bad idea i want to hear it so i can be better prepared to counter it.
I hope that some day ppc64{le,be} get there soon. Would love to use openpower based completly open systems. Atleast for the time-being only OpenPower matches or beats the performance profiles of x86_64.
This is precisely why tech companies should not the the arbiters of news. Progressive or otherwise. We should not outsource our civic responsibilities to tech companies.
I have no idea what happened during the early 2010s. I grew up during the late 90s (born in late 80s) learning about the internet and its philosophies. Allowing Free speech still is the hill I'd like to die on. But the new generation of people, even here on HN and the internet hacker personalities I used to align with have turned so pro-censorship that I don't believe I'm in a proper reality/timeline anymore.
Sure. Let's assume that there are top secret research programs. What this tells us is that the research had yeilded such results as
* Super High Density energy storage mechanism, that when being used actually cools down instead of heating up
* An energy source that isn't based around burning fossil fuels for propulsion, that is highly efficient.
* A device that could atleast in theory be using some kind of an inertial cancellation mechanism.
Any of this could be a solution to climate change. Why would our own governments lie and put the future of this planet in jeapordy?. Just so they can win the next war but lose a Future?.
The idea that this is some kind of a secret research project doesn't add up.
