As with many sociopolitical issues today, the problem here doesn't seem to be the core issue being discussed but what I like to call: Officials Not Doing Their Damn Job If the H1B visas were awarded as intended this would be non-issue

This is on a similar scale to complaining about there being too many tennis balls on the surface of the earth. Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long w

Dead on arrival. China will sell you fully kitted hilux equivalents with japanese engines for 10k. Even toyota is making 10k trucks in thailand. US manufacturers are just not ready to face free market competition these days. They're en

So, here's a thought... If FSD is going to be a subscription and you will never own our fancy autopilot feature. Why should the user pay for insurance? The user is paying for a service that they do not control and which workings are co

Another thing that I think would help is to start introducing some ethics into our profession as programmers. Most other professions have you take ethics classes, have ethics boards and even ethics legislation. We're severely lacking i

>Every election would have to be fake. Every government database would have to be full of fake names. And all for what? To get one over on the dumb Westerners? While I agree that the claim that world population is under 1 billion is bonk

Poor guy. I've seen this in my own family. I doubt they can work it out and it will only get worse with age. She will definitely not take kindly to him wanting to take any of the kids either.

You know the answer to this but I'll just say it: Its different in that it requires no skill and can be done by anyone instantaneously at scale. You know this but somehow are rationalizing this game changing fact away. Yes, people can

The thing is that literature, and art in general, should be more than just entertainment. It should edify the reader, communicate some concept, moral lesson or keen insight about the world. Remember when you were taught to extract the &quot

We do get a say on whether we like it or not. You CAN just decide to uphold privacy rights. We make the laws

Large marketplace platforms need to be regulated to have due process. When hundreds or thousands of companies live and die by your platform, you can't just close accounts arbitrarily. Either that or you get split up for monopoly. Take

Be careful with this default position. If we start from first principles: - Any one individual is not trained or experienced in the vast majority of scientific disciplines, regardless of his/her expertise in any one field - Even if

Not sure about the US but in some countries this is regulated for cars. Companies are required to provide parts for a certain amount of years after discontinuation of the product. It seems abundantly reasonable that a similar requirement be
