  1. Fine, but a very experienced person should be worth more than a masters then; so the same logic follows. The point being THAT THERE AREN'T MANY OF THEM. Which is the only way H-1B makes sense. They were supported to import 10 of the best, not 10000 of.. whatever they are.

  3. Weren't H-1B's supposed to be to get people who had skills not available locally... which would be people with higher education? Now we have fallen back to simply 'favoring' those people.

  4. IMHO... Anyone who makes their files internet accessible form a giant service deserves what they get. It's not a safe thing to do.

    Oh I mean, they can show us the new really wonderful jobs that the new AI economy create.

    So the Chinese and the US will be out of work first.

  7. Yes because I'm sure the kid that was going to be an "autobody specialist" otherwise will make a FABULOUS developer.

  8. Nope, you still lose. This spreadsheet software guy is geekier, sorry.

  9. Admit it, you're insanely jealous.

  10. No, if you look at CDP per capita charts it very clearly shows an upward trend starting in 2012. Who cares about the markets?

  11. And I thought stamp collecting was the world's geekiest hobby, we have a new winner!

    Touche, but I'm trying to envision what a Linux entertainment system would look like... No Netflix app so you would have to use the browser. No Amazon Prime app so.. can you even use the browser for that? Also the more local channels I watch online are app or.... you got it browser.

    Personally I hate using the browser for doing something an app should be doing (I don't use web mail clients either unless I have to). So I guess if that is the kind of experience you like, it makes sense.

  13. So.. there's a simple solution here. Don't use the mobile site. Mobile sites are almost always shitty.

  14. Apple users even know how to use proper ASCII punctuation any more. Isn't there some mode you can set to use ASCII?

  15. For one thing, most of what is good about the economy was done by Obama. You can't rate "best economy" on a timeline of 2 years. Trump definitely put a fire under it but it's a fire that is going to burn out and there is already talk of recession.

    Massive cuts to trade regulation and barriers: He created tarriffs for Canada and China, how is that reducing barriers to trade? Yes NAFTAv2 was signed under him but has yet to be ratified and no one is sure if it will.

    The rest are debatable whether they are good things.

    Just confirmed it, I can stream CNN fine in a browser on my smaller Android box.

    Also, I don't know why you are talking about just streaming youtube. Pretty sure any web stream works, but it's a lot better to get the Netflix app or the Amazon Prime app or the app for the TV channel you want to see and use that. I tried to test it just now with Netflix but it automatically opens the app when I go to the website in the browser.

    I've been able to use any wireless USB keyboard on any streaming box I have had, I don't even think I've ever put the batteries in the remote. This is the one I tend to get for the purpose. Maybe there are streaming boxes that are not compatible but I've pretty must understood that they always are.

  20. Don't look at Apple to provide books and supplies to poor school kids.

    The ROCKPro64 is already getting into the range of a full Android box. Why not spend an extra $20 and get it in a proper case?

    There are $70 android boxes that can do all of this except perhaps for 4K; which I don't care about anyway since none of my 1080 TVs are broken yet.

    Yeah I have two Android boxes and one of them is a Mini-X, I like it but I wish I knew how to change the ear-splitting 'chirp' when I click without shutting off the sound altogether.
