    And that's one thing China has advantage over the U.S. ... no regulation in terms of hiring, thus much higher efficiencies.

    They don't have to maintain a certain % of people from the inferior races.

    I suggest you to read this:

    Affirmative action is what keeps efficiency low. All department in our university requires to carry x amount of international students as workers, and as a IT job most resumes comes from Indian graduate students. The only chance to bypass this requirement is when you have a budget issue, and this year our department has a chance to get rid of all lazy int'l student workers and keep the hard-working, more motivated domestic undergrads.

    Depends on what type of comics. Anime Expo, Otakon, and AnimeCentral are predominately Asian.

  5. TIME TO DEBUNK THIS BULLSHIT on When Geeks Meet, Are They More Likely To Have Autistic Kids? · · Score: 1

    Geeks who marry other geeks have higher probability of having autism kids.

    Woman who give birth to child after 35 years old have higher probability having autism kids.

    The truth: Having both situation means MUCH HIGHER probability of family stability and financial security. Engineers are paid more compare to other occupation, and woman who married late probably have established careers.

    I would take family and financial security over the risk of having autism kid at any time.

    Wonder why there is very few autism and ADHD in Asia? "Tiger-Mom" tactics are very effective on these children, that's why.

  6. Re:Forgiveness at no cost? on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 1

    In China they don't give a shit about the arts... only focus on STEM stuff. Yet they turned out OK, double digit GDP growth year after year.

  7. Re:Primer: How student loans - skyrocketing tuitio on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 1

    "The only difference is that in this case, the government is printing a special kind of money -- money that can only be used for one thing."

    If you borrow in excess in tuition, which they usually allow you to do so because of "living expenses", then you can use the money to pay for whatever you want, be it car stereo or your next spring break.

    For me I use the excess to fund my health savings account and IRA account, getting a huge tax deduction in the process.

  8. Re:What is really needed. on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 1

    There is already an aggregate limit of $20,500 for Stafford loans during the undergrad years, where no more than $8,500 can be subsidized (i.e. interest free while in school)

    What happened is a majority of these 6-figure loans are PRIVATE loans, not backed by the federal government and not discharged in bankruptcy.

    Also some of them might be accumulated during grad school. Grad school are unarguably the best way to fill the resume gap during economically turbulent times.

    Open it up, pull the plates out, and run through each one via a shredder, using the slot for CD-ROM if your shredder has one, otherwise the normal slot for paper is fine. Just make sure you don't put it more than one at a time, and be prepare to endure the noise it generates.

    In our lab we reversed that trend just a year ago. We now only pick up undergrads for tech support division. We still consider international students for the research division, at least those who applied and hired have sincere interest in our field, and they would actually work their ass off to get publications. But of course, if in a rare circumstances, a qualified domestic grad student comes along, he/she will definitely get a priority because we don't have to pay the tuition remission to their home department.
