Romney is promising to re-Bushify the stock market if he gets elected. That means Wall Street is going Romney. That means huge sums of money are being poured into his campaign and if he wins , the market stands a good chance of cratering the economy again.
And how many times do you fall into a promise by a politician? How many times a politician keeps their promise if ever? Whenever the time comes, every single politician would have an excuse to their promise. One of excuses I have heard (a lot) is that it is not on the top of the priority and would get to in the "second" term. I would call it a big BS whenever a politician makes a promise. Those who believe in their promise are dreamers and submissive believers.
1. Variables by default can be used anywhere without being declared. Have a typo? You will most likely never catch it
That's the programmer responsibility. It is fundamental in programming that local variable (var keyword) should be used instead of "non-declare" or global. I am not talking about vulnerability of the language (hacking/overwriting functions/variables) but a simple rule.
function x() {
var a="abcd"// use the "var" keyword to declare that variable 'a' is alive in this scope ...
}
Also, naming a variable is the programmer responsibility. Even though the same variable name could be declared in the same scope, unlike other strong-type languages (such as Java, C, C++, etc), JavaScript allows type changed and that is what programmer is responsible for. A local variable name should not be reused in the same scope. If you are unsure about whether the variable is being used as global, you need to go back and study the functionality of what you are doing first. The reason is that you should already have a good knowledge of what all other related functions are doing before you make modification/addition to the page. Using 'undefined' value test should be the last thing to do if you have no choice to prevent your variable.
function x() {
if (a==="undefined") {
var a="abcd"// declare 'a' as a string
for (var a=0; a<3; a++) {... }// do something with 'a' // here 'a' is now equal to 3 instead of "abcd"
}
}
To me, the language contains multiple assumptions, so it is quite difficult for beginners to use it properly. That's why it is very easy to write buggy codes and is not easy for beginners to really understand and learn how to script the language. However, it is very beneficial to learn it. Furthermore, understand pure JavaScript would be even more valuable than use libraries (i.e. JQuery, rafael, etc) because you would also understand how it works internally.
I would not make that decision because I am not sure and cannot prove who did it first. If I remember correctly, the diminishing loyalty from employees began when the salary jumping was booming (especially in IT). When people sees others who are in the same field can jump their salary by changing job and using only 6-month length project as their experience, they do the same. As a result, the loyalty from employees declines rapidly; whereas, expectation for higher pay is drastically increased.
Even though, and I am sure, there are cases that employers break the promise with them first, as you see in this case, their loyalty to the company does NOT disappear because of their employers but themselves. So making a statement about employers first is just a subjective opinion and misleading.
Or, you know, maybe they used a standard test of statistical significance with an alpha value of 0.05 (which is what the report, in somewhat dumbed-down language, seems to say they did, see p. 19 of the report, under "Interpreting the Results")
I understand that (and by the way, it is on page 6 for "Interpreting the Results" and 60 for "Interpreting Significant difference" on the PDF report, not 19). What I mean is that when a report is written in the way of scientific, why can't it be written in such a way that there is ambiguous meaning in the way that it looks bias. In this case, the 2 summaries of the score give out different meaning. The first one is showing that Whites are superior when they did a little bit better; whereas, the second part, where Asians did even a bit better, is saying there is no significant difference. As a said before, why can't they say that in all grades, there is no significant difference, and then go on that Whites had the highest for grade 4 and 8.
Oh well, I guess the people who do the edit of the report may not be the same group of people who analyse the data...
At grades 4 and 8, White students had higher average scores than other racial/ethnic groups, and Asian/Pacific Islander students scored higher than Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native students (table A). At grade 12, there was no significant difference in scores for White and Asian/Pacific Islander students, and both groups scored higher on average than other racial/ethnic groups.
The writing sounds bias to me. It said that at grade 4 & 8, White kids have the highest score. Then at grade 12, there is no significant difference. To me, these two parts give different meaning -- when white kids are better, praise them but when they are lower generalize them to be equal. Instead of emphasizing that the white kids have the highest score, why can't they simply said at all grades (4, 8, and 12), there is no significant difference between both White and Asian kids? Not that I think this is racist, but I don't feel comfortable with a science report which contains hidden message or bias. It is not scientific to me.
It may or may not be the way you call. There are many reasons why a person who lives in another country would not speak the language. Motivation of the person to learn the language is the first reason. If there is no need of using the language and the person does not need it, so there is no need to learn the language. Many foreigners in the U.S. who have lived in their own community in the U.S. for more than half of their lives cannot speak English at all. There are also many that cannot speak English well.
Level of difficulty of the language needed is the second. One may need to learn the language that is used in general but not in business level. So the one is familiar with the general level may not be able to communicate well at business level.
Accent would be the third. English is not Spanish, but many English speaking people would speak Spanish with the "English" way. There is no "tone" in English, so it may sound funny for those local or even not understandable. To speak very well Spanish, a person must forget the way of English because English comes from different root (German).
The last reason is the capability of the person to learn a new language. Each person has different ability of learning. For example, my sister who has been living in the U.S. for over 10 years still speaks broken English with very thick accent. She told me that she tried to learn but always forgot the grammars/pronunciation. It is her ability of learning the language.
Therefore, you should not call that is a BS. If you can speak another language very well, it is good for you. Please do not use yourself as standard because you may be better in one thing but may be a lot worse in others.
Actually, that's a myth. Losing weight IS easy. Its just that humans are inherently lazy and instant gratification seekers. Both of which directly conflict with losing and maintaining weight.
What you said is partially correct, but to look at it as a whole, it is subjective. Yes, humans are likely to be lazy, but not ALL humans are lazy and not ALL who are diligently work out to be skinny can be skinny. Genetic can prevent one to be skinny or to be fat.
When I said it is subjective, it means that what you feel "easy" is you. The level of difficulty to keep oneself weight is depended on each individual. One may feel that it is easier than the other. Think of it as a math class, two students in the class may have different view of difficulty toward a math question. It is not that the question is different, but it is the students who decide the difficulty of the question.
Also, the definition of the word "skinny" or "thin" is different in different part of the world. For example, I am thin or slender in the U.S.; whereas, I am fat in my home country. My current weight is within the normal BMI range, but my friends back in my home country look at me and tell me that I am very fat. Why's that? Because each region may have different way to define it.
In conclusion, making an assumption that those who can't lose weight are "lazy" is very subjective and incorrect. You could have said that a partial reason would be from "laziness" but should not impose it to everybody.
In order to get a student visa you need to have a "statement of sufficient funds" a.k.a. proof that you have a trust fund.
It is true that "every" international student is required to show that each of them would have enough money to pay for the tuition & living expense while studying in the U.S. However, your post is imposing your stereotyping while you do not completely know what "international" students are.
There are some students who are from rich families coming into this country to go to school. These students are likely to be what you met at work. They usually are bad apple for their families. That's why their family send them here to the U.S. However, there are also those who come here with their own intelligence, diligence, sweat and tear, and they want to make their lives better. These people are more motivated than many domestic students.
In conclusion, stop stereotyping and try to look around more. Just because you have one bad experience, it should not mean the whole world to you. Have you ever heard of "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch"? Yes, a bad apple could ruin all others, but that doesn't mean all others are bad apples.
What you are talking about is different from H1B because you are talking about "out sourcing" which is completely different.
Also, I see that many people do not look at the big picture before making a complaint. The total of H1B workers in the country is fluctuated but should be less than 400k (roughly around 360k~380k). If you are looking at the number with the total number of skilled workers in the U.S., the number is quite small. However, there are people who look at the circumstance from a different point of view. Even though the view is valid at the angle they are looking at, it could be invalid from the other angle. These people will not seek to understand the whole picture and that cause more and more hatred toward the H1B program.
I'm not sure that will work in every case because it depends on how they check the answer on the back end. If they compare the exact string, then it would be OK; however, I am not certain. They may make it case insensitive or try to match only the substring you enter. As a result, the way you enter does not matter unless you change the order of characters. For example, you entered "schooLpubliCslashdoT" as the answer. If the site uses all of the above criteria I mentioned above, then it will match the answer if you enter only "school" as the answer.
Yeah. The only people who wouldn't like it are the ones not willing to work for it.
There are many reasons/factors for them not willing to work for it because each person comes from different part of the world plus the person's current status. If the person comes from one of the 3rd world countries and is an average to lower social class of the country, the person would have higher motivation to stay in the better social condition (in the U.S.). If the person comes from one of the 3rd world countries and is already high in the country social status, there is a better chance that the person would go back home. However, a person who comes from a developed country (1st world) would incline to go back for different reasons -- just want only some abroad experiences, tired of the current social/political environment, get a better offer from the home country, etc -- because he/she does not gain much in the U.S. compared to his/her own country.
Besides, it's so easily gamed that I expected many to game it in responses. Set up a dummy corporation and pay yourself $100,001 per year. You'd need $500,005 cash (plus living expenses) when moving here, but it would guarantee you sufficient pay to become permanent. No risk involved.
Your assumption of setting up a dummy corporation and pay yourself is silly. You would need way more than just $500k to start up a company, operate it, salaries, etc. http://www.sba.gov/community/blogs/community-blogs/business-law-advisor/starting-business-us-foreign-national That doesn't include time spent. Oh, and I am not even sure that a foreign company could sponsor you to become a permanent resident. However, an entrepreneur can apply for a green card which is a different green card program.
Besides, if one has that much money, why would one wants to spend it in the U.S. in order to get a green card; whereas, there are other options in other countries?
All in all, you should not include everyone who is not interested to stay here as "not willing to work for" because it sounds too arrogant.
The Feynman Lectures on Physics are awesome. Better than any other materials I ever encountered on the subject of Physics. I don't recall how difficult they are -- i.e., whether they require calculus or not.
I don't know but this sounds contradicted to me. If you remember that the lectures are awesome, why don't you also remember its difficulty? In other words, if you have a very good impression on something, why would you forget about it even its abstract level? I am wondered how awesome you are talking about here...
So is he Chinese as in decent, or Chinese as in citizen of China?
A simple question to answer your curiosity is that if he was hired with working visa when he stole the code, what do you think he is a U.S. citizen back then?
Also, if I understand correctly, Chinese decent means he person's parents and/or ancestors are from China regardless the person is a citizen of the country (even though it is implied). Therefore, the person should be Chinese decent anyway?
It should be low because Spokane is quite rural. Also, level 1 is the "entry" level (no experience). Level 3 is either 3-5 years or a Master degree. If you check the wage with Los Angeles, CA, the wage is about 50% higher.
You seems to be very optimistic about everything. It is very high risk letting students run the school server by themselves. Also, how many students do you think that would actually do the work? Even among students, there are different skill levels. The differences could easily cause conflict. What do you think how well young adult handle conflicts?
One more thing, the "school" work environment is a very small subset of the real world and cannot be assumed as the "real" world. It is similar to having a "hand-on" class which is not really the whole "real" world but a subset of it. Does it help? Could be up to a certain degree. I would not take it as serious as it sounds in your post.
A really big problem for students is the work mentality. School work is completely different from the real world. There are some students who seriously work for grade, and they may learn something which may include responsibility. There are, however, as many as or more students that do NOT care for the school work as long as they can "pass" the class. Letting them take care of the school work could cause a lot more trouble that may not be reversible.
There is another aspect that those who hate H1B people never look at -- working attitude. It seems that people who are on H1B would work hard and do not have "high" expectation on their return. There are a lot more of Americans that feel entitlement that they work this much and then they should get this much. If they cannot get as much as they expected, they would not improve themselves and wait for their employer to either give them more or kick them out. Employers can kick the H1B people easier if they don't like them, but they cannot easily do it with Americans unless they cannot handle them any more. The law is much more rigid when dealing with American citizens. Therefore, looking at foreign workers from only one angle would just get misconception.
If you still have that attitude toward H1B, look at what the salary they get here http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesWizardStart.aspx Select the state you want and then look for an appropriate position. Tell me if it is too high or too low in your opinion. The wage is related to its location, so it would be different in different cities. Remember, 65,000 H1B are included both entry level and higher education of Master level. Doctorate level, professional sport, and medical doctors are not included because they are an exception.

I am not familiar with Chinese visa, so I have one question. What kind of visa do you obtain from them? Is it a working visa? Or is it a follower type visa (as in the U.S. is called F2)? Then if it is F2, do they allow the follower to work? I know that in the U.S., they do not allow those who have F2 to work. Be careful if you have a visa similar to F2 because you and/or your fiancé would take a risk of losing the visa if you are going to work.
I assume that it would be F2 because the U.S. has F1 for student, so I am guessing that China would also have similar visa type.
Even though I contributed the same amount of genetic material as my wife
Just an off topic to clarify this part. Genetic crossover does NOT guarantee the exactly same amount of genetic material distribution from parents to the child. ^_^
Back to the topic, I agree with RobertLTux that maternity leave can be prepared in advance and that should not impact the career. There are many possible ways depending on the company and the work current situations.

If you leave the decision to the examiners, you'll just get the effect that each and every applicant will be unhappy with the assigned duration. Result: at least two additional office actions per application debating the correct duration for the patent in question. I am not opposed to different durations for different patent classes, but there have to be clear rules, or it'll be a hell of a mess.
I completely agree with you. And what if you could buy (bribe) the examiner (bribe) without getting caught? That's another huge problem.
Regardless what happen between Zimmerman called and the boy was killed, Zimmerman had no reason to ignore the police advice to stay where he was but followed the boy.

The bigger problem is that all the people voting in the election know that they are being fucked. They just do not care. So public laziness and apathy is what is wrecking the country.
I think the bigger than the bigger problem is that often times there is NO good choice nominee for them to vote for. So, they could either choose to sit home and not vote, or vote what they think is the least f***ed up nominee. Still, either way they will get these people into the office and they are being f***ed.

A simple question to answer your curiosity is that if he was hired with working visa when he stole the code, what do you think he is a U.S. citizen back then?
Also, if I understand correctly, Chinese decent means he person's parents and/or ancestors are from China regardless the person is a citizen of the country (even though it is implied). Therefore, the person should be Chinese decent anyway?
It should be low because Spokane is quite rural. Also, level 1 is the "entry" level (no experience). Level 3 is either 3-5 years or a Master degree. If you check the wage with Los Angeles, CA, the wage is about 50% higher.
You seems to be very optimistic about everything. It is very high risk letting students run the school server by themselves. Also, how many students do you think that would actually do the work? Even among students, there are different skill levels. The differences could easily cause conflict. What do you think how well young adult handle conflicts?
One more thing, the "school" work environment is a very small subset of the real world and cannot be assumed as the "real" world. It is similar to having a "hand-on" class which is not really the whole "real" world but a subset of it. Does it help? Could be up to a certain degree. I would not take it as serious as it sounds in your post.
A really big problem for students is the work mentality. School work is completely different from the real world. There are some students who seriously work for grade, and they may learn something which may include responsibility. There are, however, as many as or more students that do NOT care for the school work as long as they can "pass" the class. Letting them take care of the school work could cause a lot more trouble that may not be reversible.
There is another aspect that those who hate H1B people never look at -- working attitude. It seems that people who are on H1B would work hard and do not have "high" expectation on their return. There are a lot more of Americans that feel entitlement that they work this much and then they should get this much. If they cannot get as much as they expected, they would not improve themselves and wait for their employer to either give them more or kick them out. Employers can kick the H1B people easier if they don't like them, but they cannot easily do it with Americans unless they cannot handle them any more. The law is much more rigid when dealing with American citizens. Therefore, looking at foreign workers from only one angle would just get misconception.
If you still have that attitude toward H1B, look at what the salary they get here http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesWizardStart.aspx Select the state you want and then look for an appropriate position. Tell me if it is too high or too low in your opinion. The wage is related to its location, so it would be different in different cities. Remember, 65,000 H1B are included both entry level and higher education of Master level. Doctorate level, professional sport, and medical doctors are not included because they are an exception.
An example...

Level 3 Wage:$26.75 hour - $55,640 year
Level 4 Wage:$31.09 hour - $64,667 year
Mean Wage (H-2B):$26.75 hour - $55,640 year
I am not familiar with Chinese visa, so I have one question. What kind of visa do you obtain from them? Is it a working visa? Or is it a follower type visa (as in the U.S. is called F2)? Then if it is F2, do they allow the follower to work? I know that in the U.S., they do not allow those who have F2 to work. Be careful if you have a visa similar to F2 because you and/or your fiancé would take a risk of losing the visa if you are going to work.
I assume that it would be F2 because the U.S. has F1 for student, so I am guessing that China would also have similar visa type.
Even though I contributed the same amount of genetic material as my wife
Just an off topic to clarify this part. Genetic crossover does NOT guarantee the exactly same amount of genetic material distribution from parents to the child. ^_^
Back to the topic, I agree with RobertLTux that maternity leave can be prepared in advance and that should not impact the career. There are many possible ways depending on the company and the work current situations.
IIRC, New Zealand, Britain, and France have all done it. So I wouldn't make that assumption so quickly.
And where are China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many other Asian countries? I am wondered how much the total in proportion of IP theft in these countries compared to those countries you mentioned...
If you leave the decision to the examiners, you'll just get the effect that each and every applicant will be unhappy with the assigned duration. Result: at least two additional office actions per application debating the correct duration for the patent in question. I am not opposed to different durations for different patent classes, but there have to be clear rules, or it'll be a hell of a mess.
I completely agree with you. And what if you could buy (bribe) the examiner (bribe) without getting caught? That's another huge problem.
Regardless what happen between Zimmerman called and the boy was killed, Zimmerman had no reason to ignore the police advice to stay where he was but followed the boy. When he didn't listen and the consequence is a dead of someone who is not him, there are always questions and this doesn't sound good for him anyway.
So you mean if you implement a software and sell it and then I inject a virus I created into the software with your name on it without your consent, now you are the creator of the virus, right? ;)
The bigger problem is that all the people voting in the election know that they are being fucked. They just do not care. So public laziness and apathy is what is wrecking the country.
I think the bigger than the bigger problem is that often times there is NO good choice nominee for them to vote for. So, they could either choose to sit home and not vote, or vote what they think is the least f***ed up nominee. Still, either way they will get these people into the office and they are being f***ed.

Fixed...
Some passengers covered their eyes as well as their children's and retreated from the sight.
I just wanna know how many peek through the covered eyes?
