    If there weren't a shortage of doctors they wouldn't be making 10 times the median income.

    Lets import 300,000 doctors and get that problem under control. Much more urgent since they charge so much more.

    Which means they write a requirements sheet no one can meet and lie about the person they are hiring.

    The simple answer is to say all H1Bs must be paid $200,000/year or more and the visa is not tied to the company.

    How are you planning on making more h2o2 on the fly exactly?

    They don't want that.

    They want to lower wages by putting more supply in a market that can still today produce a middle class income. They will try to do all they can to kill that.

    So instead of air, which is cheap, safe and readily available, you want to use h2o2 which is none of those things. It is also corrosive. The lower the purity of the h2o2 the less energy you are storing.

    I see literally no upside to your suggestion.

    A car that can go 20 miles between charges would be fine for one vehicle and we could have one gas car as well.

    That thing should really generate new ones on install.

    That way there are no keys to expose to the world that anyone would know.

    Those people should just be fired. This is pretty much par for the course for the average new developer.

    When people did stuff like that in my sysadmin classes we were encouraged to teach them a lesson. Far better to edit their login script to log them right back out than delete their homedir contents, or change their path so they got other versions of common programs. Probably the meanest was to make it so instead of calling the work submission script it called rm on whatever they were trying to submit as their classwork.

    Because some of these might be test keys or place holders. If the key is not valid on any system and is just test data, it should not be a big deal to post publicly.

    The best system I have seen is not allow devs any access to production environments. All pushes done by sysadmin and dev boxes identical to production.

    Sysadmins should also know how to code. Nothing better than showing them their screwup and the solution to it.

    Plus, since all sysadmins, real ones anyway, are already competent in several scripting languages it is not that hard a skill to add if all you need to do is be better than bottom of the barrel programmers.

    Could they not supply a .gitignore ?
    Either way simple enough to have a find script run, before you make it public. Basically on every commit turn off public access, run your clean script, then turn it back on. If this causes errors, that seems better than this.

    I admit at work we mostly use a combination of CVS and a 2x4 to hit developers with to avoid these issues while still having a nice simple repository.

    This is why developers are not sysadmins.

    These kinds of repositories need to learn that and not let these folks do this sort of thing. If would be simple to use a regex to filter out the posting of these sorts of files. Maybe Devs should even be charged a couple dollars to get a decent review of these things.

    This, 100 times this. If you have a device that is not being moved, run a wire. It is not hard to do nor is it expensive if you need to pay someone.

    In the vast majority if not all states, even renters can do this provided the seal the holes back up when they leave. No matter what the contract states. Check your local laws before doing this of course.
