What you're describing is the 'status quo' of the executive office. There's been a lot signs so far that it's going to be quite a bit different organizationally for the next 4 years at least.
I don't know if that's good or bad, but it is going to be different than what we've seen, from press briefings to who sends what memo.
My point would be, in a large sense, that the choice of what to post as news (this is actually news, it is stuff that matters) is not the problem.
It's not fucking bait, it's an actual story that actually happened that we should (regardless of what color armband you wear) be interested in. These are the people who are going to be drivers for tech related economic policy for the next 4+ years.
If we can't discuss that without diving into partisan bullshit we're the problem, not the editors. What this guy is basically asking for is to turn/. into a fucking safe space from anything to do with government because we're all emotional about it. That's fucking stupid.
This is mostly anecdotal from somebody who works tech in a 'red' area.
But in all seriousness, you're arguing the difference between 'good sized' and 'small sized' on the internet. Good sized isn't a blanket dismissal to anybody with a reasonable thought process.
Where I am it's significant enough to override the actual legit concerns.
The OP said 'nobody would', so merely arguing the point that there are people out there ( I know them ) who argue against H1B simply because they're 'brown people'. They don't have a damn clue as to whether that guy is on an H1B or just somebody who was born in Bangladesh.
"Nobody would complain about H1B if salary floor was $250K."
Yeah they would. A good sized chunk of people bitching about H1B do so on the basis of the guy 'isn't born here', they don't even know if they're actually here on H1B status or just an immigrant who's now a US citizen and has been for years.
That's a list of the 'central problems of civilization' not the 'central problem of the future'.
Everything you've listed has been and will continue to be a concern until we either 1.) get rid of currency or 2.) get rid of national governments. Privacy concerns are just one more to be added to the list as things go on.
However we had a mobile hunter/gatherer population. So I'm not really getting why I should care that the temperature was the same 8,000 years ago as compared to today.
Probably because there wasn't a runaway effect caused by just the release of methane from those regions?
Last time I know of where this planet ended up with runaway from Methane was when the sea floor stocks were released.
However what you're doing here is basically missing the forest for the trees, because ~8000 years ago the CO2 concentrations were also lower than they are right now, so there's more than just one gas and one data point to consider.
We also don't need 'Runaway greenhouse effect' in order to completely fuck over the entirety of society, so there's that too.
Government is even more insanely good. I wasn't debating that.
You need to actually pass and maintain a security clearance, on top of the uncertainty that comes with contracts at the whim of congress, so it comes with that baggage.
He didn't have any policies OR experience to attack, to be fair.
Pretty clever at that honestly, to just spout two different things depending on whether you're on twitter or in a debate. Nobody had any solid idea what they guy actually wanted to DO policy wise.
I mean, it's not like Obama's gonna take it with him. I think Mr. Trump can figure out how to obtain a document from the government. He's not THAT stupid.

"Ensure that other countries take their people back when we order them deported."
The best part of all of this is you guys on the right still, after 75 years, think this is something that's possible with millions of people.

This is an article about who in tech is going to be advising the president. That's not partisan, it's just a fact.
If /. users can no longer handle facts being distributed there's a bigger problem than 'what content do we post'.
"Nobody would complain about H1B if salary floor was $250K."

So I take it you'd be just fine with all of Trumps emails to his staffers getting out there?
In the interest of transparency of course. Not because it would be funny reading, not at all.
That's not really the point. Do you actually think /. is some widely read resource?
Snowden gets bigger news coverage by notoriety alone, which means that thing being said 1000 times already actually gets to more people.

The Electoral College is part of the sanctity of our democratic process. So cry harder.
Won't be anything anybody can do about it when the numbers have meaning. So just make sure you get a good 'bug out' bag ready and you'll be good.
Don't disagree with that in the slightest.

Note: Google employs people outside of the SF Bay area. Most of their staff in fact.
The fact that SF has insane real estate prices is not Googles problem.

Passive monitoring isn't 'getting involved'. Where do you guys even come from with this logic? Is there some kind of training course for this?
'Police Work' used to be defined as getting involved with your community and understanding your population.
What you are describing is is not Police Work, it's something else entirely.
It's true, but the Midwest isn't going to make a comeback by getting rid of it.
Unless 'rise of the machines' is what the Midwest was looking for.

If you think 'foreign tampering' is the same as 'voter fraud' you've got a few brain cells missing. Donald might have taken 'em.
I mean, it's not like Obama's gonna take it with him. I think Mr. Trump can figure out how to obtain a document from the government. He's not THAT stupid.
They pay is still pretty insanely good.
I mean, did it actually show any rate increase when the law was implemented? Serious question, dunno the answer to it.
I wish your help desk support staff good fortune in the phone call swarm to come.
