You sexist...
How dare you challenge feminists, They have every right to fight mother nature... So what if they are biologically and mentally a perfect fit for taking care of children and domestic duties. So what if men are the obvious natural choice as breadwinner. So what if this ruins countless marriages and families, so what if kids are raised by day care providers who don't give a lick about them, so what if it causes tens of thousands of abortions by career women each year.
Taking the man who is biologically programmed (via evolution or creation) to be the leader, head decision maker, and breadwinner essentially switching him into the minority power role because he is not the primary breadwinner? How could that ever hurt a marriage? How could that ever make his wife respect him less?
Taking the women and putting her in roles of abstract logic and non emotional decision making against her nature? how could that ever cause stress for her. How could sending her kids off each day to be raised by a day care provider ever cause her guilt or grief due partly to her in-built nurturing instincts/programming? How could she avoid hating her husband for not being the mother that he should be?
How could any of this negatively affect society today and for future generations? That would be obscene. Just look at the positives of where we are today... Emmm better get a microscope.
I don't blame feminists for their beliefs, I blame men (past and present). If men would have respected and taken care of their wife's and daughters the way they should have, they would have been happy, fulfilled, and never started rebelling and trying to turn against men and even against nature itself.
Perhaps people spend more time at work then they used to, but while not at work they spend way less time working on things like mowing the lawn, cooking, washing clothes, ETC.
Women blaming men for them being too busy need to weight their options IMO. If you are too busy, quit your job and stay home. To maintain the quality of life that existed while Keynes wrote this book, a single income is often adequate. It's not worth killing yourself over.
I think what much of what explains the wealth gap is free trade and illegal immigration. We import everything from China today. We would not allow these sweat-shops in our country with children working in dangerous conditions for pennies an hour. We wouldn't allow it here, but we do support it by buying these products. This breaks the whole premise that Keynes was basing his predictions on (Illegal immigrant employment as well). People can get rich paying illegal workers almost nothing, or importing a product from China and marking up it's price by 8-10x.
This throws things out of the balance that he envisioned.
This would be cool while trying out custom roms. Nothing worse than using a custom rom and something not working right when you really need it (like GPS or data).
Sounds like if you want to do serious web dev with Java in the real world, you really need a client front end templating library like Ember or Angular for most/all of the UI. So in essence, from a Java dev perspective, web programming is actually REST/JSON (service programming).
It's a commuter and short trip car, not for touring. Don't take chances (leave yourself a buffer of 20-25%) and you won't get burned. If it is gonna be close, rent a gasoline car. This is new tech. I am sure early internal combustion engine drivers has similar problems (lack of service stations and tow trucks)
Is Mercurial the BetaMax of source control? Better technically, but didn't have the promotion that Linus gave to Git when he copied much of what Mercurial and other systems had and added a bit of his own flavor.
>In all, 29 metabolism-like chemical reactions were spotted
Why does it take a scientist and a New Scientist article to tell us that reproducing chemicals and conditions that occur within cells cause the same reaction when they occur outside of cells. Do the chemicals and compounds have some sort of intelligence so anyone expected them to not react the same under the same conditions? This article does not seem meaningful or insightful in any way.
Talk about a worthless comparison... Auto loan and insurance costs completely left out? (and these are big factors) Depreciation in a high state of speculation? Comparing a top of the line minivan with a mid size car? A commuter/short trip car (imagine big road trips planned around recharge stations) vs a touring vehicle.
I realize there is other cars besides the Odyssey compared, but why so much emphasis put on the minivan comparison? How about comparing as close of a car luxury, feature, reliability and purpose wise?
Ironic that is is highly likely that the majority here who are posting criticisms actually were in support of the Iraq was at the time that it happened. Many here also support/vote for government officials who voted for and supported it at the time.
It is understandable but sad that not only will people not admit this, but that they criticize someone who felt the same as they did at the time. You may justify your actions by saying that we civilians did not have the intel that Condi, the President, and congress had at the time. This may be true, but how do you know what intel that they actually had and if it was even good intel (Congress did and you still support them). Many of you here criticizing Condi, support Hillary/Benghazi and excuse her because she had bad intel. The scale of course is much different, but you sure that you are not applying different standards to different people because of political bias?
I think yes.
I am sure that I do the same things, it is human nature (I am not saying that it is morally right though). I just wanted to put this out there, Food for thought.
>Even though I’m fairly well connected in Portland, Seattle, Vancouver (BC) and even San Francisco it is rare for me to meet someone who wants to do pure .NET Development. If there is I’ll connect them with you. However if you know a company that is porting away from .NET, building greenfield applications in Node.js, Ruby on Rails or other open source stacks I have a few software developers that might be interested.
You may consider yourself somewhat well connected in startup culture circles perhaps but even though that may be the noisiest and most visible, it is actually quite in the minority in actual numbers of software devs in our country. Enterprise (you know the companies that actually make our economy churn) like banks, retail chains, Intel, HP, ETC. corporate America, government, military. ETC) is where most of the .NET devs seem to be. Trust me, there are plenty of them, even in Portland. (hate to break it to you but you sound like kind of a big fish in a small pond)
Do you think that you know better than veteran recruiters how many .NET devs are in certain areas (some of which you don't even live in?). If .NET devs were that scarce in these areas as you seem to conclude, I really doubt that recruiters would even bother advertising for them. Also, if they were this scarce, corporations would be forced to pay exorbitant amounts of money for them or switch to another technology (simple logic tells us this).
This is almost akin to the disconnect of the hippie culture of the 60s. You had the hippies who knew their culture and circle of people, then you had the majority of (albeit less visible) Americans who were working 9-5 and raising families while keeping the country actually functioning. A lot of hippies didn't even realize that much existed outside of their limited perception (I speak from experience).
Your ignorance may be overlooked by many here on HN because many share the same culture and ignorance as you, but to the 9-5 serious family/career corporate generation - you look like a fool. Not just because of your blind ignorance, but also your petulance.
>Someone has a degree does not mean the person is productive enough to get an actual full time job.
So your assumption is that large portions of people who put in all the effort to achieve a STEM degree cannot be productive enough even to even get/hold a job in that same field? That is a big assumption, and pretty unfounded. It if far more realistic to suggest that American companies cannot afford to hire domestic workers or hold out to maximize their dollar by bringing in immigrants or off-shoring.
I think that the picture of immigrants being in such high demand because the amount allowed in is sucked up quickly creates a false picture. It is not that we don't have the workers here, it is that cheaper and more loyal workers can be had which can do the same job at a usually more productive rate (Visa workers are more productive because they are constantly busting ass trying not to get fired/deported). Think about it, if you were willing to move half way around the world to get a job, don't you think you'd have extra motivation over a locally raised guy who is picking and choosing between potential employers. We cannot perpetually import workers, this would only leave a larger and larger pool of educated, skilled, unemployed (or not employed in a skilled field) locals. How is this good?
>Yes, true thousands of half educated people from India would flock to America, but at the same time this will lead to more x<N jobs in US for which even Americans can compete. A lot of those unemployed graduates would then have a better shot at getting employed.
So your logic is that bringing in more half educated people from India would provide more X<N jobs? We already have an abundance of half educated people both born here and from Mexico (many of which are unemployed). I don't see how adding more to this group is going to improve anything. Educated people don't want and often refuse to take X<N jobs. The corporations took the immigrants over them and now they just leech off of the government. All so that corporations can increase their bottom line.
Another reason why smartphones outsell desktops by so much is that for a family of 5, there is going to be 5 phones (assuming two parents, and three kids over the age of 8). Everyone needs their own phone because they all leave the house and need it to communicate with each other. The family PC is more often a shared resource. Some of the kids may have their own laptop, but phones more of a personal item.
I never understood why IE updating lags so far behind. It is free. I understand why updating the OS is a bigger deal. It costs money and is a huge change that involves a lot of work for some.
I suppose Microsoft is partially to blame. You can install any version of Chrome and Firefox on XP, but only up to IE8.
>Similarly the H1B cap seems to have an assumption that there are some fixed number of STEM jobs out there and if Indians fill it up, somehow the Americans will not get it. I would assume a higher concentration of Engineers in USA would only lead to more innovation, more engineers trying to earn more money by being far more creative and so on.
So you are assuming the opposite? There are unlimited STEM jobs here? You are quite misinformed.
In the United States, nine percent of computer science graduates are unemployed, and 14.7 percent of those who hold degrees in information systems have no job. Graduates with degrees in STEM - science, technology, engineering and medicine - are facing record joblessness, with unemployment at more than twice pre-recession levels. The job market for law degree holders continues to erode, with only 55 percent of 2011 law graduates in full-time jobs.
What kind of argument is this? You can't argue fate. You could also say that without the level of immigration we have, the world trade center would never have been attacked, we would have never invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Millions of lives would be saved.
One could say that Einstein changed fate such that a certain person was never even born who would have surpassed his achievements. This is nonsense and illogical.

How does opening up more visas help this? It is not about helping the people of America. It is about corporations getting richer. There are plenty of people already here to fill tech jobs.
