...so it becomes impossible to undercut local wages.
The more people available to do a job, the less that job can pay, as any one candidate is now competing with a larger number of other candidates for the same job.
I'm honestly much less worried about low-paying jobs being filled by immigrant or migrant workers than I am about high-paying jobs. Low-paying jobs have an artificial floor for how much they can be paid, in the form of the Federal Minimum Wage, even for jobs that arguably aren't worth that minimum wage. By contrast, if there are only 15,000 existing domestic people trained to do a specialized engineering job, then allowing another 15,000 people in could dramatically reduce the salaries for the positions.
I don't think that it's wise to have too many H-1B visas. I think that this database of jobs needs to exist without increasing the number of H-1B visas, as it may serve to help get unemployed engineers and other technical people hired when they're struggling to find work because of the economic conditions in recent years. My concern has always been that companies haven't had to prove real problems finding and retaining domestic workers.
We'd have to deal with nuclear weapons treaties to make that a reality.
If it's any consolation, that's also probably a fairly effective "impactor" method of adjusting the orbit of an asteroid too, set off nukes next to it...
Sure, it's possible that nothing can be done about something that size.
On the other hand, while we haven't managed to deal with protecting the occupants of automobiles when they plunge off cliffs, we have managed to either protect occupants or reduce their injuries with other fairly simple technologies that have dramatically reduced casualty numbers.
We've had two significant events in about 100 years. I think that it's a good idea to both improve detection and to figure out how to nudge or deflect asteroids. The further out we know of their paths the less costly it is to deflect them.
In all seriousness, working for someone else sometimes sucks. Being in management and already having to deal with headhunters on top of all of the bloated resumes sucks. Adding in another agent is just one more thing that those trying to hire doesn't need to deal with.
Apple was "more than a little troubled that AppGratis was pushing a business model that appeared to favor developers with the financial means to pay for exposure.
As opposed to their somehow having managed to con local news into covering every stinking Apple Store opening even though retailers and service centers throughout Apple's history have provided the exact same services that the Apple Store provides, for the same price?
Wouldn't it be just as valid to say that this is provided as a service to enable Google employees to avoid going home to cook their own lunch or to avoid having to eat a less-desirable cold bagged-lunch, keeping them more productive at work?
I bring my lunch 80% of the time. When I buy my lunch I don't like spending more than $5, sometimes upwards of $7 if I don't have a lot of choice in the matter. When I bring my lunch it probably costs $1.
If Google has hired on-staff the food prep staff, it'd be more analogous to how school lunches cost, which is to say that an adult lunch in this school system for faculty is about $4.00. If Google doesn't generally allow just anyone to eat in their lunchrooms, then I don't see how they can be held to a full retail standard.
You're not a lot younger than I am; the school district I was in for elementary school wasn't very wealthy so they didn't replace things that ostensibly still worked...
But the distinction is that this group is anonymous, with a lower-case "a". It's not easy to attribute demographics when responses are for individual reasons uncoordinated by any central planning. There's no leader or cause or movement.
I didn't read any Apple II manuals. They didn't provide them for us in elementary school. They expected us to play Oregon Trail or Number Munchers or the like.
Well, I installed an internal modem in that computer and added a 3.5" floppy drive (not realizing that it wouldn't address a 1.44MB disk so I had to tape over the high-density holes and reformat 720K) when the machine had only two drive bays, so we had to take the computer apart to drill holes in it to mount the 30MB hard disk drive on its side in an empty spot. So I guess it'd be analogous to learning about cars by upgrading a Chevette...
Upgrading to MS-DOS 5.0 was useful with online help, though I wonder if having too much online help would have stunted my skills by making it too easy...
Even if it is just a minor effect, the story will stick around and will be remembered when prosectors are pondering how they want to handle such cases in the future and if the political payoff is enough to offset the impact on their life.
I don't think that's entirely correct I'm afraid. It's been my experience with "Type A" personalities that strong responses from the unwashed masses are not comprehended as consequences. Sure, they understand some of the motivations of the political adversaries, and they can even understand the reactions of the fans of their political adversaries, but when it comes to the mainstream middle, they don't really know how predict what will happen.
Certainly these people recognize in hindsight when they've made a decision with terrible consequences on them personally, but they have a much harder time predicting in advance. Look at the George Allen Macaca Controversy as an example.
I did something similar, though a little bit ruder, on the built-in BASIC interpreter on an IBM PS/2 Model 25 that was the library card catalog machine when I was in school... It looked like a DOS prompt, but every input responded with one of half a dozen randomly-chosen rude responses...
...I could never figure out what to do with an Apple-II at a prompt. It always came down to inserting the software disk and rebooting the machine.
It probably didn't help that the Packard Bell XT that dad bought had both "Teach Yourself DOS" and an MS-DOS 3.3 full command manual, and obviously the MS-DOS commands didn't work on the Apple...
Sometimes I shudder to think that Packard Bell instigated the turning point that led to my professional career...
You aren't allowed to advertise that you have a relationship with a company (or some similar organization) when you don't have such a relationship. I haven't looked at the details of this case, so I can't say who's right or wrong, but that seems to have been the complaint.
"2011 Chevrolet Malibus! Still under factory warranty! Dozens to choose from! $299 a month!"
This from a third-party used car dealer ad on TV. Most likely off-rentals.
They do not claim to be the restaurant, they claim to be a courier service. They mention what the restaurant provides, and they create a method to allow one to use school-food-accounts to pay for it. The restaurant and thus the school still gets paid.
Then there are somewhat generic words like "Brown" and "Spicy With". I am curious as to how the school could hold on to "Spicy With" when that's a description, in the same fashion that Apple got denied trademark on "iPad Mini" because it's a description, not a name...

That would explain one linked-in invite that I keep getting. Funny enough, the guy works as an exec for a company that a friend of mine works at.

Heh. Try adding "echo Y|format C: /q" to the autoexec.bat on early versions of DOS that didn't clear the buffer before executing format commands...
