I say give them the H1B workers. Those companies will be worse off because of it. I work with these guys and the quality suffers greatly. Some companies are smarter than to go that route. In many cases, 1 good non-H1B IT guy can do something 100 H1B workers can't. There are exceptions...
Whatever happened to the "you have to pay an H1B worker what you would pay a non-H1B worker"? And that you "have to prove you can't find a non-H1B worker"? Do they just say they can't find them because the price is too high? Do they pay a "contractor" the same rate as a non-H1B, which pays the H1B a very low rate, and gives a kickback to the company?
...should be considered a failure if they didn't actually reach their goal.
If I spent 1 year on something and only "got closer" to the goal, I would be fired. It is understandable to give time to something like an AIDS vaccine, but we gave them 50 years! Give that money to someone else for either AIDS vaccine research or another disease/problem.
U.S. Patent No. 6339780 Loading status in a hypermedia browser having a limited available display area. Described herein is a portable computer having a limited display area. An Internet or other hypermedia browser executes on the portable computer to load and display content in a content viewing area. During times when the browser is loading content, the browser displays a temporary, animated graphic element over the content viewing area. The graphic element is removed after the content is loaded, allowing unobstructed viewing of the loaded content.
I've read a few patents, but this one takes the cake. They essentially patented not just the Internet equivalent to their own Windows startup screen, but the electronic equivalent to curtains at the Theater; and the TV equivalent to the opening sequence/song.
Looking at someone in public space is not illegal. Even if it is blatant like you are stating. It can be creepy. And it typically becomes harassment when it goes beyond looking to phone calls, touching, threatening, etc...
You should not expect privacy in your backyard. You put up trees and walls (and eventually roofs) to prevent others from seeing what is going on there.
Many Verizon phones supports most cellular bands/tech. Just that Verizon doesn't unlock those. Or only allows them under certain conditions. Like when you leave the US...
On a related manner, if you are consistently off with those estimates, others can adjust accordingly. Two examples:
- My wife used to be typically 15 minutes off on everything. She said we'll meet at 7pm; I assumed 7:15pm. It worked like clockwork. After she realized this, she started to get better with her time and I adjusted. She actually sets her car clock 9 minutes ahead right now...
- Phone meetings at work never started when scheduled. They typically start 5 minutes late. So I started calling in 4 minutes late. I am always in before the other critical attendees and it works ALL THE TIME.
Predictions on the time it takes for me to do something can be off, but not by much. Most good predictions have contingency plans, etc...
In my experience, the biggest variability in estimates is the reliance on external dependencies. If I were the only person needed to work on something and I estimated 40 hrs of work, I would probably get it done in 30-45 hrs. But when that works requires someone else to do something at a critical point, even if it only takes 1 hr, the ability to acquire that resource in a timely manner ALWAYS messes with the time. Instead, the 30-45 hrs turns into 40-60 hrs. Amazingly, the "wait time" makes my time spent worse as well. I have to go through "ramp up" time again.
You can even schedule out that you will have the person for 1 hr a whole week ahead of time. But I have found it rare that you are able to acquire that resource remotely close to the time you scheduled.
Stop spending money on waste and save money to spend it later on something good.
There are poor people that are stuck, but 99% of them could spend less so that they can make better decisions with the money saved. My point was when a poor person buys a car or smartphone, they are putting themselves in that situation. It extends further... Every time they go out to eat, even to McDonald's, it helps make them poor. Cable TV? Makes them poor.
Eat rice and beans and save money. Then make the right decisions and the right investments and you will leave poverty. This is what successful businesses do. They aren't wasting money on private airplanes. They are making the right investments to ensure the future growth of the company.
No one in America, with a job, when making the right decisions, can't acquire the lump sum needed or have the credit needed to "buy the robot". They just make bad decisions because their priorities are in the wrong place.
One thing I've learned about many poor people. They make poor people decisions. Like having an iPhone and purchasing new cars on 8 year loans. There are millionaires that don't ever buy new cars or have a smartphone at all. There are a lot of people who would be poor if they made those decisions.
The difference here is that successful businesses are usually a success because they don't make unsuccessful business decisions. That means they will get the robot, because the long term benefit far outweighs the cost and risk.
Back to your point. Unsuccessful businesses will make unsuccessful business decisions...just like poor people. Make smaller payments over a period of time despite the promise of the larger investment.
Ironically, private companies like Google aren't allowed to listen, but the government can listen all they want without a warrant. Quite the opposite of what the Constitution states...
That is because there is still an attitude that what you say isn't "etched in stone". When you write it, it is "etched in stone". So with newspapers, they were careful for their own credibility. Someone could always go back and prove you were wrong. Although you can do the same thing with video and even measure context better with video, that attitude doesn't seem to prevail. We as a society seam to expect fallacy in video.
Many of them can probably be explained by the tried and true game of telephone. While they didn't blow up other bombs, they blew up suspected bombs. That would account for (1) and (3). The bombs had metal fragments, so a 1st responder was probably like "were these in a trash can?". An innocent mistake, as at least one was in a pressure cooker (2).
I don't know about (4), but they did ask a whole lot of people questions...I'm sure one was "dark skinned".
How is Bitcoin exchange any different than Baseball cards? You are just exchanging a product with someone else. Sure, it is a virtual product, like a game, but it is still a product. They aren't saying "this product is worth $90"...the market is saying "this product is worth $90".
It will only be an advertising collection platform. And this won't stop Google Glass from overlaying information about stores you are walking by with preference to ones that pay some moola.
I saw nothing about insider trading in the article. I work for a financial institution and having my management monitoring my financial statements makes me all too knowledgeable on insider trading monitoring.
I generally agree; not to trust positive reviews of products made by someone with a marketing budget. I generally hone in on 3* reviews and actually read it to see the gist of what they are talking about.
Outside of that, you have newegg that is able to show reviews of verified purchasers. And this is exactly why Google is moving to the "real names" model. Because "fake names" will only hurt their bottom line in the long term. Someone could still pay a "real name" to review products, but even those could be detected automatically and investigated by an integrity department.
How was the trade unauthorized? At the SEC/Federal level or the company level? If it is the company, then there should be no jail time. It is the company's fault for allowing one individual do such a trade and the company should be punished by the SEC if it broke a trading rule. Just like companies own the Intellectual Property of employees, they should be owning the crimes by employees committed filling their job role.
Not worth it. What good, from an emergency response perspective, are you going to get because a loved one can contact you now instead of an hour from now? Maybe a little good, but not enough to justify raising everyone's cell bill by 50%.
Same idea could be applied. A single could be sent that describes that you are in a "quiet", "low light", or other situation. The phone can then adjust to the request automatically.

Quite an assumption. Who's to say it isn't an anti-war activist? Or an Occupy person? Or literally anyone else in the world?

You don't need evidence when the writer can define what "left" and "right" mean.
