Zuckerberg is worth 19 billion. Assuming facebook saves 50k$ per year with every H1B hire...assuming zero costs for the hire...and assuming all of this is going straight into Zuckerberg's pocket, that's still chump change...

If you have no choice but to hand over the data, wouldn't it make more sense to automate the process and save your own people some time and frustration?
I think he's mistaken. There are two "channels" when you pass through customs. Red channels if you have something to declare. Green channel if you have nothing to declare. If you go through the red channel, you have to declare the good you are bringing into the country. Going through the green channel isn't a free pass. You could still get your bags inspected.
Targeting US citizens does require an individual warrant, but the NSA is able to collect Americans' communications without a warrant if the target is a foreign national located overseas.
Currently IT is in the midst of another bubble. Unlike the bubble in the 1990s with the.coms, this one is fuelled by federal monetary policy holding interest rates abnormally low, which means there is excess money coming in from venture capitalists.
Can someone please explain to me why the Fed's QE means there is excess money coming in from venture capitalists/
Imagine the power of being able to hire a recent college graduate who has been taught how to develop system diagrams, build complex SQL, run log analysis, set up a cloud test environment, and write automation scripts.
If I can do all this, why would I want to remain a tester? Why wouldn't I get into development?
It’s impossible to know whether a significant number of businesses are deserting AWS and public clouds in favor of private. My guess is there’s some movement as businesses get more experience in the cloud but certainly not enough to dent the potential of the public cloud. Still, the murmurs are an indication that AWS competitors are starting to get more aggressive.
That's exactly the kind of hard data nerds use to arrive at conclusions...
3) The ability of government agencies to scan my data for whatever they feel like arbitrarily and possibly without due process.
How does an in-house data center protect you from that? If they're not following due process for a hosting provider, what makes you think they'll do the same for your in-house data center. People need to calm the fuck down and stop acting like they live in north korea/china.
Slashdot Mirror
This is why I browse slashdot. "Insightful" posts like this backed up by solid data.
People on medicare are the real takers. . And Romney attacked Obama for cutting medicare.
Remember when the economy went south and google got bailed out by the government for purchasing bad assets?
Jobs are moving overseas because we, as consumers, demand cheaper and cheaper devices.
Playboy isn't that popular in India so I don't think we need to be worried...
The answer is no....slashdot used to be a great site....now it's all about theodp's jihad against code.org and "the man"

I know this is slashdot but stop digging. Here
It's another idiotic auto-green-lighted theodp post...
This post is insightful?

but let's be real, is Google opensourcing the stuff that is runs their busines?
Open Source Projects Released By Google
Update Rep. Nadler in a statement to BuzzFeed says: “I am pleased that the administration has reiterated that, as I have always believed, the NSA cannot listen to the content of Americans’ phone calls without a specific warrant.”
Actually, not a bad idea. Why not let the NSA host your email for you?
That's a great idea...they probably have better spam and malware filters...

I know theodp is big into the "the man is screwing you" themes but how did this get greenlighted?

I block the entire country of China.
If you read the article, you'll notice that they used hacked machines at US universities as a jumping off point.
