Sounds like taking them on an empty stomach, taking too much (which is completely personal), or taking the wrong ones like Tramadol. Tramadol is not supposed to be addictive, although it has been found it is still addictive doctors still ignore that revelation and treat it like it is a safer alternative. Tramadol is a poor painkiller, maybe on level with tylenol with codeine and carries the worst of what can happen with too much hydrocodone as a normal side effect. With correct dosing you'll be a little warm or cold and periodically itchy.
If it is taking too much while still only taking what the doc suggested take them anyway for a few days and you'll quickly adjust. Also, you can be active on opiates but their pain relieving effect is minimal that way. The right answer is to cuddle up in a bed with the light off and don't stress or fight the fading in and out.
Opiates disrupt nerve signals reducing pain sensations but they also make you not care about the pain as much and that is the piece that has the biggest impact. Ever have a strong headache and at some point get distracted for a spell by a TV show or something else that absorbs your attention? During that spell you experience zero pain and the minute your attention comes back to the headache it all comes back. The direct pain relieving aspect of opiates reduce the "volume" of the acute pain while the "high" part if you will makes it very easy to get absorbed in a distraction, enough of it and the distraction can just be a train of thought or at the extreme the warm dozing calm state it provides. This is why other drugs which trigger similar pain reducing effects but that don't get you high are ineffective for serious pain. Nothing that works by directly acting on pain also leaves you able to exercise motor control. The drugs which work well enough to do this for the kind of pain opiates are prescribed for are used to anesthetize you for surgical procedures.
Some pain killers are other classes of drug entirely and meant to reduce inflammation and that sort of thing, reducing inflammation helps to make pain manageable with opiates but is not a substitute.
The prevalence of opiate addiction in the US is absolutely no justification for the pressure on doctors not to prescribe opiates. The drugs meant to replace opiates are fine supplements but worthless as replacements. It's sad there are addicts in the world and it is a real medical problem, we shouldn't deny even one person who an opiate would be marginally more effective at managing their pain that opiate to reduce the number of addicts. Especially because those measures don't work.
"Because there are not enough people in the U.S. that are interested in tech"
On the contrary, there are plenty and american kids do learn (about as well as anyone, tech is a field where degrees are useless in most areas and people begin learning on the job). There is no shortage of tech talent in the US, this is a total fabrication. There IS some level of scarcity in the sense that there are few enough talented people out there that they can command high salaries and have leverage at the bargaining table, that is what these companies want to fix.
The children of parents who make that choice are sadly the offspring of people who should have never been allowed to breed in the first place. Their inferior education will put them at a greater and greater disadvantage to children of the rest of us who don't have the god gene. This is just another flavor of evolution and natural selection at work.
"Many teachers in public schools are dedicated professionals who are underpaid for their level of education."
Many teachers in public schools are people dumb enough to pursue arts majors and perpetual students who wanted to live in the bubble of academia as long as possible without facing the real world. Nobody is entitled to be paid for their "level of education" except to any degree which that education actually translates to improved proficiency at their job... something you can measure without ever knowing "level of education."
Our obsession with degrees and overvaluing them is part of the problem. The entire system needs scrapped along with its degrees.
Most of what you should be using computers for is to get rid of the physical school and most of the teachers. Instead they just toss them into the school.
I do know teachers, mostly it is a safe haven of degree requirements so people who loved school so much they never wanted to leave (read almost everyone with an advanced degree) has a job at the end of it. Most of them care about as much about their job as a McDonald's burger flipper despite all the dramatic movies about them. And yes, most of them have fluff arts degrees themselves which is how they ended up having to take a teaching gig.
The paying for the school supplies thing is ridiculous though, including collecting from parents to do it. It is a public school system, these things should be supplied.
"But that's more equivalent to a certificate in machine learning, not a BS in it."
Either of which is pretty comparable in terms of trying to get real work done. The shorter timespan in artificial academic reality also means less time to get used to being spoonfed information and then given problems to which will be possible to solve with the information you were just fed. Nobody feeds you anything in the real world, problems aren't likely to be solved with what you just learned and often aren't solvable at all or don't have existing solutions, you have to make something up.
Or stop putting so much emphasis on college in the first place. You actually can produce a machine learning expert in a couple years if you cut out all the unrelated coursework and actually focus on what is needed to do the job rather than dumping every possible detail of every subject at them in a massive dump. Sure many of us can absorb that volume of information and pass the test but you don't retain much of it that way. It would be more productive to cover a smaller depth of material in a more comprehensive fashion. Students would walk out with far more information and actually knowing how to use it.
Also, there isn't actually a shortage of talent in the US so this is a problem we don't necessarily need to solve.
I like it. We should tax all corporations which derive at least 60% of their revenue from the US for 100% of their revenue with no deduction for any tax paid elsewhere. And the company share of payroll taxes/unemployment etc should be due even on their foreign workers so if they keep outsourcing they'll eventually fund indefinite unemployment letting us not have to work at all.
That doesn't work well for many things because the reason these workers are so cheap is their domestic markets are poor and have poor infrastructure. By the time you've changed that you've built the place up enough to have a domestic market services those nations for these workers and it wouldn't make sense to send them over here. We on the other hand are the wealthiest nation in the world and have the manufacturing and technical knowledge to produce everything we need, plenty of bodies to fill the roles, and have all the natural resources you could want along with landfills loaded with the recyclable resources of other nations. We don't actually need these other countries.
Not just truly professionals, there needs to be no domestic talent which is unlikely because H1B's tend to have cookie cutter diplomas and actually learn from the domestic talent which supposedly doesn't exist. At the top or the bottom if there are people here who can do the job, including older more experienced people tech likes to discriminate against, there shouldn't be even 1 H1B until every one of them is employed.
I have a problem with it at the top and bottom, we have people here who can work both at the top AND the bottom of fields. The proposed changes don't cut the number outright, they just cut the financial incentive to use H1Bs when you could use domestic talent at domestic wages.
We have people here who can fill the top positions, they have to send their people here to learn how to do the work from us. Just put a stop to the age discrimination in tech and the talent pool opens dramatically with the added bonus of it becoming a field you could actually retire in instead of a dead end.
I'm not that is really the case for movies. People aren't afraid they'll go away they are just impatient and want what they want now rather than later.
"Not having to wait" is definitely worth something to most people. How much it is worth probably dependent on how large a sum needs to be before it is significant to you and that mostly depends on how much you have. The scheme I proposed above lets the billionaire satisfy his impulse to have the movie before everyone else but also gives the middle class their chance to get the movie slightly sooner for an extra couple bucks.
The beauty (for them) is that pretty much everyone would at least subscribe to the all you can eat streaming buffet with every movie ever released by any MPAA studio so even you consumed nothing this month they'd still get money from you.
"I assume that when you say "we don't exactly have a shortage of land..." you assume that people who have to move will move to empty areas."
Who knows what Syrian infrastructure is like in rural areas. In the US those places are just less expensive to live in;) Whatever gains you get from infrastructure you lose in privacy, limitations of activity you can engage in, ridiculously higher costs for inferior living conditions, pollution, etc. If the rural populations here all moved to the cities the urban majority would be at a loss for how to marginalize the other 49% of the country in arguments about redistricting but I doubt it will trigger a civil war.
The industry isn't interested because they don't want to maximize legal consumption and convenience they want to give you as little as possible for as much as possible so there is room to make a guy who has more money pay more money.
Honestly, I think the MPAA should band together and offer it's own streaming service. New movies hit it as soon as the theater and start at theater prices for 24hr rentals, an algorithm monitors the purchase rate over time and automatically reduces pricing with some hard time based cut offs. About the time the movie would hit Blu-ray it finally falls into a Netflix style subscription bucket except this one has all the movies and nothing ever goes away and content is always distributed with all the latest capabilities right from the get go like 4k, 3D, etc. Subscription proceeds are distributed according to views. That lets the movie industry maximize revenue, cut out all the middlemen except their own collective trade organization, and provides dramatically more convenience to the consumer.
"The real sources of this sort of thing are not advertised on search engines and never have been."
That isn't true at all you can find most of the major indexing sites on search engines. Perhaps you meant invite based ratio sites? Those aren't the "real" source, just a different source and you can still find the path to them on search engines.
Of course they are. They watch a movie in the theater then pirate a copy for home viewing or search for a copy of a movie they own because they want a high quality encode from someone who knows what they are doing. A few might be looking for copies of movies that just aren't worth watching in the theater while saving the theater for content that is actually best viewed that way (basically audio and visual effect intensive films). Some are just trying to get around hdcp nonsense so they can utilize their 4k devices.
Almost all pirates are legitimate consumers trying to get around hassles imposed by the industry. The industry wants to limit the amount of content you enjoy, how soon you can enjoy it, and how you can enjoy it. When those limitations don't get in the way people still pay for content.
It is a tough scenario, executing DR plans for real involves disruption to the involved systems so you either definitely impact your operations from time to time of you take the risk there might be some kind of disruption IF you ever need to fall back on DR.
That is why most organizations actually have reliable backup systems that periodically verify data integrity, alert when agents aren't communicating, etc.
" If the emulated thing does not exist, then it is a simulator not an emulator."
A simulator doesn't actually do the thing it relates to. You can't go anywhere in a flight simulator. You can't kill anything in an RPG or gain any kind of experience. You can execute code in the emulated instruction set of the jvm. Destroying every C64 on earth would not magically turn the emulators into simulators just because the thing they emulate no longer exists. Creating a chip that uses byte code as its native instruction set would not change the jvm from simulator to emulator either.

The US already fast tracks applications for high tech workers. The system isn't being used because of the H1B system.

It is indeed right in the summary... did you not know that H1Bs are visas for workers sponsored by U.S. Based companies?
