...more of it is worse. And even if total days of school are the same, penny-ante 2-week-long breaks spread throughout the year are not as good as a long break to let the body and mind rest from the trauma of public school.
You can start by not signing another contract that forbids you from discussing your pay with fellow employees. Just that one step down the path towards improving workers rights may be enough for you to see the strength that comes from many united to a common cause.
In the US, it doesn't matter whether I sign such a contract or not. It's not valid.
Guess what? There is a minimum wage requirement on H1Bs.
Given a lack of standardized job titles, it's easy enough to fudge. Anyway, H1Bs are so dominant in some areas that their salaries set the prevailing wage.
There is a $6,000+ processing fee for H1Bs that act as tarrifs.
Not high enough to be significant.
A local worker can take an H1Bs job away at anytime by meeting the absolute minimum requirement of the job description and the job description must be posted in public at the company.
The first part isn't even true, and in any case the job description typically includes things which work out to "experience in this particular position.
The main problem is that H1B is 90% Indian and Chinese and there is a certain "hate" for such people. Do people ever mean H1B employees from England, Australia, Netherlands etc? Nope. By H1B, they mean Indian and Chinese high tech workers.
You can put the race card down now. About 64% are Indian, 8% Chinese. Do you ever see rooms full of nothing but English H-1B workers, with maybe one token American in sight? How about French? Australian? Japanese? You DO see that with Indian H-1Bs. Why is that, do you think?
The Earth-Moon barycenter is very nearly outside of Earth itself (it's about 0.75 Earth radii from Earth's center), so let's not get too high on our horses...
It can even be applied to dating. On the first date I offer a marshmallow or if they have the willpower to not eat the marshmallow the promise of sex. So far it's managed to flawlessly protect me from a number of impulsive women.
You're doing it wrong. If you do it right, the response from impulsive women will be to "prove" that they can eat the marshmallow AND have sex with you.
Also the marshmallow test is pretty flawed when used with anyone who has experience. Doesn't matter how much impulse control you have, if promises of delayed gratification have in the past been consistently broken and led to no gratification.
The advanced bit-twiddle trick for counting one bits in an unsigned int is to realize it's such a useful operation that the hardware (on newer x86 CPUs, anyway) has an instruction for it, so you ought to use it.
I used to think I was a computer scientist, but now I'm not sure. Euclid? Diophantus? Babbage? Lovelace (albeit she'd be a founding mother)? Church? Goedel?
Not Babbage or Lovelace I wouldn't think... too practical:-) Church and Turing, perhaps; the functional programmers can follow the former and the procedural ones the latter. I'd probably also include Claude Shannon.
The overhead of malloc and free is massive compared to the equivalent operations in a managed runtime. Allocation is typically very cheap (since you don't need to manage the heap as a balancing data structure) and deallocation is effectively free, unless you need to be finalized, and there is no need to rebalance the heap.
Deallocation is NOT free. It's just borrowed. You're paying the costs in the garbage collector rather than inline.
but gawddamn, if I meet ONE more unshaven skinny ratty-haired white dev/programmer in his late twenties/early thirties with an aversion to water, soap, matching colors and food (what is it with devs and eating disorders???) here in Seattle,
Wow, things have changed since I was that age. Back then, the stereotype was that we were fat.

A company making an electric car, which has the potential to roughly double residential electrical demand, is going to put the utilities out of business? Using two of the biggest vaporware technologies around -- practical residential solar and really good batteries? The only thing they left out is nuclear fusion.
Kleargear was even worse. They charged the "fine" when 1) The person who posted the review was not the person who agreed the the contract (the contract, unlike USGHs, did not say anything about third party reviews)
2) They'd already breached the contract by not delivering the item.
3) They'd actually added the language to the contract AFTER the person who ordered it did so.
USGH seems to be a bunch of reasonably honest dirtbags, at least; they do indeed mention that the fine applies for other people's reviews, and they don't fine people for bad reviews if they don't stay at the hotel. 5 stars.
The same reason the US funds a vast majority of drug research in general (at least as of now): It has the money, universities, companies, the property right protection, and other laws that enable people to spend decades working on something and then eventually getting a payday for it.
Imagine an FBI so competent they could bust everyone for every single copyright and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act violation they ever committed. And every other crime for that matter.
No, I'll take incompetence over competently (but not benevolently) administered tyranny.
What a beautiful and strange World it must have been in the dinosaurs heyday to support a seven ton carnivore and a 50,000 to 100,000 kilo plant eater.
It should be the reasons behind art, what makes a thing aesthetically pleasing, what harmonics are and how colors and light mix but how do you convince a populace that doesn't even understand half of the words in this sentence that that is what art is and why it's important?
Significant progress towards that last would qualify you for a doctorate, because it would certainly be breaking new ground in the field.
Of course all Singaporeans want their all-seeing government; any who don't are subject to sanction by said government.
Actually, I just wish this were true. In fact, I think the only reasons more Americans don't want such a government is we've had no experience with a government actually interested in and competent at such paternalism; when our government decides to abrogate our rights it typically manages to get in the abuses without any of the purported benefits. Despite that many Americans STILL want an all-powerful all-loving state.
The whole concept of a "social concept" is ludicrous. The terms are set by one party, who also administers the contract, judges violations of the contract, and reserves the right to alter the contract at any time.
There is emacs. There is vi, for when some fool didn't install emacs. There is ex, for when the terminal is messed up. And there is ed, because it is the standard text editor.
Anything else is either redundant, or is a word processor with a text-only output.
We covered this issue in university some 12 years ago. If you're not completely on-board with the definition they can technically sue for the copy in the CD drive RAM buffer, the copy in RAM, the copy in L3 cache and maybe collect a small royalty on the itty-bit in L1 cache.
There have been cases (including the Cablevision DVR case) which rule out the buffers and the caches, though not necessarily a full copy in RAM.
Never, ever, eat 1lb or more of black licorice at a time. If you do, the results are explosive compression and expulsion of a black semi-liquid sticky smelly substance that may stain anything it comes in contact with.

IIRC Jefferson was a bit of a firebrand and thought a revolution every generation _was_ a good idea. Of course that's when he was young.
Either way I refuse to call it a "social contract" when it's really just "might makes right"; the basis of its legitimacy is force, not consent.
And, in this case, bioweapon research facilities.

Support global warming!

Isn't that the cost of a CS education at Stanford nowadays
You bet. If we're to have tyranny, it's best tempered by incompetence.
Must be mixed carefully. It's OK to use network cables for bondage, just don't put them back in the network afterwards.
