"The first sentence says they are going to immigrants FROM India."
The headline does not contradict the article. These people are not immigrants in the conventional sense, who come to the US to acculturate and become a part of our society. H-1B is a special peonage deal for chintzy employers, by which the worker gets a temporary visa, good only for a specific employer, and then must return home. India gets a trained IT worker while California's own workers, immigrant and otherwise, get unemployment.
Was this study conducted in the Mediterranean part of Scotland? Even the Church of Warminetics Operating Thetans I have been reading about think it will be another ten years before Skye gets olive trees and bougainvillea.
The study doesn't seem to separate these two factors. We live near a busy intersection and used to notice traffic noise at night, when we sleep with the windows open. Several years ago the signal at the intersection was replaced by a roundabout. Suddenly it was really quiet at night, since most traffic just glides through. But by day when the traffic is heavy with tourists who don't get roundabout driving, there can be a lot of honking. When we're out on the paio at a time like this, road rage is a great form of rural theater.
You could just ask a professional photographer. And could you stop using the word hipster like you know what it means, dad?
I did ask a professional photographer, since I live in an artists' town, and she wondered why they are not bringing back Kodachrome, rather than Ektachrome. It was a dye image film whose resolution was limited by your own optics, rather than by grain. Ektachrome was developed in response to calls for higher speeds than Kodachrome's ISO 25 (that's why Kodachrome was the film of sunny days) at the expense of grain.
"I think this just reminds you that Kodak missed the boat a long time ago, and is left to ride a fad of a few hipsters / nostalgic fans who will provide some short-lived interest for an old product (an admittedly good one, in its day).

Hipsters will use it to take pictures of their vinyl records and bound books.
For those of you not familiar with Gab, it's the tweet site designed to host people who have been ejected from Twitter. Its whole point is that it doesn't censor users.
Uber's flouting of medallion regulations is the same as Apple's refusal to decrypt the San Bernardino phone: asserting that their specific conduct is not infringing. Courts must ultimately decide whether this assertion is correct.
Apparently violating local laws is OK by you. If the US government rules that a Daesh app is illegal, should Apple keep it in the AppStore?
They are not removing it from other countries. Only from the country that banned it. Some how, this is news or issue? Seriously?
I think the political correctness rule goes more like this: US computer companies must mangle their product offerings against user wishes, including suppressing free speech, if the EU demands it, but no other country gets that privilege.
App Store needs a built-in ability to 'expire' an app after 30 days. This would allow devs to offer fully functional apps on a trial basis, like the standard for computer applications. As it stands now the developer has to write a second, "Lite" version of the app as a demo, rather than being able to concentrate on one full-function app.
The EU has increased their CO2 output EVERY YEAR since Climate Change was discovered. So who really cares at this point? Obviously the EU doesn't, even with all their blather.
Because Germany is continuing its transition from nuclear to coal baseload. If Trump does reopen the US coal mines, that's probably where the output will go.
Although I would expect most asteroidal mined metals to be used "locally" in terms of energy expenditure (solar arrays, shipbuilding, etc), terrestrial minerals do get exponentially harder to mine as we go deeper. The TauTona mine at 3.5 km depth is the limit of our current capability, and that's for a material that trades for over $1000/oz. Given that Leland Stanford's army of coolies will be robots, asteroidal mining is probably closer than we think.
The "go for broke with one Tsar Bomba" approach would be most appropriate for a rapidly rotating or tumbling impactor, on which calculating a nudge spot or even a multiple-blast spot would be too difficult. And if such an asteroid did break up in the blast, centrifugal force would fling the pieces apart and further minimize the risk at Earth contact.
"I was under the impression that setting off a nuke on an impactor only works in movies. "
A nuke would definitely affect the orbit of a Chicxculub size impactor, but there would also be a high risk of breaking it into multiple, less manageable pieces. The safest strategy, given time to work with, would be to nudge it in a precisely calculated spot with a spacecraft that could then apply thrust for a sufficiently long time to change its orbit. Because that strategy would be the most expensive, a real-world solution would be some value set of X small explosions of Y megatonnage.
Asteroids trailing and leading Jupiter? Does that mean Jupiter hasn't cleared its orbit? I guess Jupiter is a dwarf planet then!
Trojans are objects that occupy one of the Lagrangian positions with respect to a planet. In this case, that would be the L4 and L5 positions for jupiter.

Because everyone knows that any Google side project is subject to being suddenly abandoned with minimal notice.

That's what karma accumulation is for.
I'm not sure that command would do much on all the Windows servers the Pajeets will be inheriting.
That's even better. Gazing into my Mumbai Trading Company Finest Kind Translucent Sphere, I see a giant hack in UC's future.

And yet, even a fucktard like yourself admits he was a SUCCESSFUL President.
"Not as bad as Jimmy Carter" is not how I define a successful President.
He means Carly Fiorina.
What happens then?
The 'corium' will be extracted robotically for use as fuel in a new generation of full-burnup reactors.
"I thought the point of automobile glass was to shatter"
It doesn't shatter, it crumbles, and sticks to an internal plastic layer that prevents it from flying away.

No, that seems to be the Slashdot approach,
