I don't have a problem with that in principal. However I would add some caveats. For example if you hired an H1b person, they were genuinely a skillset you couldn't find and you went through all the genuine effort to find them, you shouldn't be exposed to such a high level of risk if someone quits a job with a competitor.
If you brought someone in, spent 3 months settling them in, got them up to speed and then were in a position where someone you had approached but said no to you came along and said I want the job now I don't believe you should be firing the H1B or having to make a big payout.
Add on to this that Australian police forces haven't gone full paramilitary like the US has. The chances of having a gun pulled on you by a random member of the public here is incredibly small so the coppers aren't permanently scared.
If you want to see the difference watch this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... - This is a video of police in Brisbane, a major capital city, accepting a dance challenge outside a pub while on security detail for the recent G20.
But this is where the salary comparison needs to come in. I don't know the exact rules of the H1b but it seems a lot easier circumvented then the equivalent 457 visa in Australia.
In Australia if you are paying a 457 visa holder less than the equivalent Australian you get smashed. It is huge fines and a ban on ever sponsoring anyone again, either for a set time or permanently. And if you had more than 1 457 you lose ALL of them.
There seems to be a big focus on the low cost developers coming out of India. But my exposure to 457 visas have always been around really really hard to find skills which the company pays big money to find. Most recent example was an Exploration Geophysicist with a carbonates background, they basically don't really exist in Australia as most Australian resources are clastic in nature.
Don't allow it. Person must be directly employed on a permanent basis by the company that is registered at that location as the primary business premises.
The equivalent Australian visa is the 457 visa and contractors and staffing / labour hire firms are prevented from using them for onhired staff
I think that is probably going a little too far. The reason I say that is there is an overall economic benefit to the country to bring in highly skilled professionals from overseas IF, and it really is a big IF, the local labour market is unable to supply them. If you bring in high value employees you have essentially scored for free all their education and development.
H1-b visa approval should be subject to market testing of the labour market. An employer must be able to demonstrate reasonable steps to fill a position from domestic sources first, this must include such things as advertising and using recruiters and they must also be able to demonstrate that there is an overall shortage of this type of person, ie other companies advertising, statements from industry experts.
And then this is the absolutely most important one. The H1-b MUST be on the same or higher salary package than a domestic equivalent. To prove this you should have to provide the employment information, employment contract and CV of a person in your company that holds the same role, or examples from external sources if you don't have an equivalent.
In addition to this you should have additional clauses on the company such as medical insurance and repatriation costs.
There is nothing bad about having highly skilled migrants coming to your country. It brings in new ideas, new blood and fills holes in your labour market. But it does need to be controlled and it shouldn't be a way of cost cutting.
Unfortunately Dinfinity I don't think you can open their minds to actually thinking for themselves.
You have the classic problem of "All fords are blue, therefore this blue car is a ford". Too many people can't see my blue Toyota.
"All members of Isis are Muslim (nominally but that's another argument), therefore all Muslims are member of Isis"
Let's not even confuse the matter with the Sunni vs Shiite question. God help them if they learn that there are different parts to Islam and that they get along about as well as Protestants and Catholics have done in time past.
The Lords Resistance Army - Uganda, Anti-balaka - Central African Republic National Liberation Front of Tripura - India Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland - India Maronite Christian Militias - Lebanon
It really isn't hard to find massacres and murders done in the name of Christianity.
You need to go back and re-read your modern history. The Arab / Israeli conflict is not based around an insult to Islam. Sure some leaders in the region use it stir up fervour in the unwashed masses, but it isn't the driver. The driver is that on the 14th of May 1948 external colonial powers decided to annex a part of another country and call it Isreal. Then on top of that they populated it with people with absolutely NO cultural similarities to the existing population. How anyone expected this to not cause issues is beyond me.
To give you an equivalent, it would be a large city in the US being annexed by foreign powers, having the existing population displaced and rammed into a section of crap land with no access to the outside world and having the city populated by the Chinese.
Absolutely agree. And get a professional to do the install.
You are talking about a commodity system that has been done a gazillion times before. Pay a professional to come out, quote and install a system. Get your cameras in the right place, get your motion detectors in the right place, get your panels in the right place. And quite frankly pay your subscription to have your system monitored.
I'm assuming you will be having house insurance, so consider it part of the insurance costs.
Then most importantly, don't make your house an obvious target. If people can walk past your house and see your BMW in the driveway, your $85,000 Macbook in the lounge window and your wife's handbag on the table you are going to get burgled.
tell me how many words I used. you only get to dictionary brute if you know the breaks. You don't get to know if your first word is correct, the correct length or anything else.
It's not an entropy of 4 for a huge number of reasons, not least that they have no idea I used 4 words. That length password could easily have had 8 words in it, or it could have had none.
This is too hard for the average user to use. While it is good security policy it simply isn't going to happen.
A much more achievable goal is to get people to use a couple of different passwords which they then grade into the 'don't care if compromised' 'care a little' 'care a lot' 'O fuck no' category. Also I think people should be steered away from the alphanumeric random password idea and towards an easy to remember string of words. maddisoncompromisedmarriagelost is a hell of a password to brute force.
You could have the opposite. My bank requires a 6 character password no special characters and no capitalisation allowed with the username being printed on all your bankstatement. And with their new update once you have got access to the account you can transfer the entire balance of the account to anyone who has received a payment before. Their argument is that you needed to do an sms verification the first time, so that kid you paid to fix your pc? he can now receive the entire contents of your bank accounts including all the redraw funds in your homeloan.... Alternatively if you were like me and went to the effort of getting an RSid token they have removed the memorised password component so now all you need is the actual token number. Retarded.
I have memorised 3 alphanumeric passwords which are the basis of all of my passwords. Basically I rotate two of those three passwords through all the crap I don't really care about. Worst case scenario is it takes me 2 log in attempts to get the right password on any given site
When it comes things I care about it gets all three passwords combined making a stupidly long alphanumeric that is really easy to remember.
It is only the egg producing chickens that are vaccinated for salmonella. Also while it was a legislative requirement at one stage to get UK birds vaccinated it no longer is and instead is an industry code of practice. So it would be a hard one for George to push.
As a general rule breeder and pullet flocks are vaccinated for a variety of diseases as they are kept for a much longer period than meat chickens. That said there is a mandatory requirement for all chickens to be vaccinated for Newcastle Disease which goes across to meat chickens as well and has to be done between age 17 & 20 days.
But I think it still comes down to cost. Salmonella had a huge public health cost that was far wider reaching than just the poultry industry. Avian Flu is more likely just to decimate the animal herd rather than cross to the human population. There is also the question of whether it can be easily vaccinated for as there doesn't appear to be an effective vaccine.
Add to that that vaccinating chickens past the legal requirement means they lose organic status as well.
Cost probably. Meat chickens are slaughtered between 30 and 60 days of age. When you consider that according to the British Poultry Organisation that in 2013 the English used 870 million domestically raised birds and about 400 million imported the cost of vaccinating, even at a cents per bird cost, would be huge.
The conclusion you have come to is logical but it is also flawed in the concept of evolution. For a gene to evolve to be dominant it needs to give the carriers such a competitive advantage that those that don't carry it die out. Resistance to avian flu would only do that if avian flu was that common that it regularly decimated a population. In reality that gene will exist in the current chicken population but the prevalence of it will be low.
Sorry I think I follow now. I guess that works as long as I don't need to get updates everytime I want to play. It would also mean though it would have to have enough storage for everything to be installed.
I know I can do that. But I don't keep my consoles plugged in, as in connected to the mains power or on. Consoles represent casual play, especially if a couple of mates come round, I might get the xbox out from where it lives in my hallway cupboard, plug the whole thing in and together and drop a disk in. I know I am not a main target customer but I have a 360 and about 30 games.
Either way I had data cabling run through my house so where ever it was set up there will be a data point anyway.

Audis are unknown? Where do you live? They are bloody everywhere around where I am in Brisbane.
That said I wouldn't swap them as I agree with your Porsche sentiment and audis are driven by accountants or sales droids.

All of that should be part of the visa submission.
Of course there will be people that rort the system. But the ease should be low and the penalties severe enough to make it a poor decision.
