don't work. If you get it big enough to matter they folks in charge will just buy it out. Money corrupts everything eventually unless something above and beyond money takes control. That something is a Democracy that leaves nobody behind. Right now stuff like this happens because we abandon large swaths of our country's people to a miserable fate. You've got 60% of us living paycheck to paycheck. Net Neutrality is the last thing on their minds. They're worried about food, shelter and medicine. Until you take care of those things for everyone then we're all going to get picked apart by the oligarchy.
Could it be your not getting many applications because you've set your standards too high? And could it be you're able to do that thanks to the H1-b program? Having a pool of 1.3 billion desperate people is a great way to reduce labor costs...
we can't fight that because it's too complex. We'll get bogged down in details and lose, just like we're doing now. End the program entirely. Admit PHD candidates and above only and have them reviewed by other PHD candidates. Then properly fund our schools with a 'College for All' program so that if American businesses want an educated workforce they have to pay for it instead of importing it. Anything else is a losing proposition for American workers.
The headline makes it sound like this is a done deal, but even the summary doesn't even say they're actively pushing it, they're just 'expected' to do these things.
Talk to me when the actual number of H1-B visas handed out is reduced or when either of the two changes mentioned take affect. Until then this is all just theater. It plays well with his voters but he never actually does any of it. Anyone else remember during the election when he said he hires workers on visas for his golf courses because he couldn't find workers and there were interviews with people who applied and were turned down?
Large parts of the rust belt and South game little or no jobs. Go back to the Guilded Age and you'll find anyone with a decent job had servants. That's not because they made a lot of money, there were just that many desperate people. These people know they're getting screwed. They're desperate. It's why they elected Trump. Remember that when we go to way with North Korea in a few years.
If they're combating Russian propagandists attempts to game the ranking system. You do realize that folks going to Google for news aren't actually there for the Russian propaganda, they're there for news.
including the learning step. Remember, once you get past trig it's a sausage fest. And it's all very, very socially awkward guys who have a hard time not making fools of themselves around women either intentionally or by design. It's just a plain uncomfortable situation to be in. If anything it's worse when they're younger since you've got hormone addled teenagers. Given the choice bright woman go into medical, accounting, general management, etc.
It doesn't help that modern education is so competitive that you pretty much have to start planing for your profession in your freshmen year of high school...
so they're terrified of a work environment that's not conducive to women. Every single HR rep and tech CEO is salivating over the prospect of getting women into tech in mass. I'm not going to debate if they're better or worse than men taking as a statistical whole, but there's plenty of them that are superb at it and staying out because the work environment stinks. Getting them in would cause wages to plummet as the workforce increases by anywhere from 10-50%.
Anything that upsets that growing apple cart is going to be brushed aside. It's not SJWism, it's good 'ole capitalism.
Deep learning's eating software and software's eating the world. We just need a few waves of Chinese needle snakes to eat Deep learning. Then gorillas to eat the snakes. Finally when wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
Bruce Springsteen songs used by right wing anti-Union politicians because the chorus has a catchy bit of pro-American lyrics while ignoring the verses.
I'm telling you what I paid. I paid out of pocket because I was too dumb to look for scholarships (dumb kid, what do you expect) so I very clearly remember it. e.g. I remember scrambling to work enough hours in the summer to get the money socked away and occasionally using a Credit card to make up the difference. Again, dumb kid.
It's entirely possible that chart was based on national averages that include overprices schools, like trade schools operating under the heading of a public Univeristy. There were lots of those when I was a kid until places like the "University" (no air quotes big enough) of Phoenix.
The word 'cunt' is basically a feminine form of 'dickwad'. In that context it's no different than adding an 'a' instead of an 'o' at the end of some words in Spanish.
You point out that these people use the n-word all day long and say they do it without racist intent, but then pass up black or Mexican sounding names. What you're missing is causal and institutionalized racism. It's when you do it without you even know you're doing it. In a lot of ways that's worse than overt racism because it's harder as hell to fight. Hell, you can make things _worse_ trying to fight it, like the left did with forced busing in the 60s.
with a large increase in automation we're gonna need those 4 years to keep people out of the job market longer. The world does _not_ need ditch diggers. A backhoe is so much better at it that it's not even worth paying ditch diggers even if you make them literal slaves.
Beyond that there are benefits to an educated populace. An educated populace would be less likely to have have given us the Clinton/Trump shit show that was the last election. They could understand the importance of democracy and showing up at your primary for one. Not everybody can learn these lessons on their own. Actually most can't.
I went to college in 95. If it kept place with inflation it'd be around $2600 for year 1-2 and 2800 for 3 and 4. And that's before we talk about the reasons why college should be paid for by the public (aka, "College for all", I refuse to say 'free college' because it just sets up a 'who's gonna pay for it' straw man).
short of learning to teleport or becoming a plant based life that lives off sunlight I can't very well boycott those.
But here's a question for you: Why the hell do I have to pay Musk tons of money to advance science. Why the fuck can't the government just do it's own research and make everything freely available without patents? Why is it my tax dollars are constantly being spent so somebody else can profit with the vague promise that someday it'll trickle down to me. Fuck that. Fund government run labs for things people want and give the research to the public. Stop making me pay to make the rich richer. Make _me_ and _everyone_ richer.
And no, I'm not a libertarian. Democratic Socialist actually. Hence the reason I don't like giving free money to the aristocracy.
how Apple volunteered to help? I thought from the last time this happened that they couldn't get data off an encrypted phone. Did they write a back door in and not tell anybody?
if you insist on never closing your browser. Yeah, some folks get really upset when you suggest they do that, but most don't even notice that they periodically close their browser.
Resources are limited. What's a better use of time, tracking down a few kilos worth of memory leaks that annoy the less than 1% of your user base who never close their browser down and keep 100+ tabs open or making your JavaScript engine 10% faster?
how about they stop lobbying for tax cuts that gut funding to public Universities? When I was a kid a year of college was $1500, now it's $11,000 for the first 2 years and $15,000 for the last two. That's a direct result of funding cuts. I remember reading about what the cost of college was going to be in 20 years in my school's newspaper and being glad I wouldn't have to pay it, being too young and naive to realize I'd have a kid someday.
Besides, this entire thing makes me nervous. I can't imagine they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm too tired right now to bother figuring what the angle is on this but I'm sure there is one. About the only other thing that's kept pace with rising educational costs is my cynicism levels.
I'm worried about a small group of asshole humans using them to oppress me and everyone else for eternity. Right not the aristocracy has to treat a small population well or they get disposed. Robots eliminate even that.
Maybe the homegrown ones wouldn't be flipping burgers for a living if we didn't. But hey, it's more fun to look down on them because you're angry they went to grad school than it is to address the problem. Nothing like getting the working class to fight among themselves to keep those profits maximized.
not to hit on women. There will be time for that later in bars. The women who want to be hit on will show up at the bars. The ones that don't, wont. Everybody wins.
