  2. Re:Enriching the early adopters, transaction fees. on Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client · · Score: 1

    Regardless of whether or not early adopters "deserve" to be rewarded, the fact that they got bitcoins easier than newer entrants provides a strong disincentive for people to join the bitcoin network.

    you are the one distorting, not everyone, not even many pedophiles are in chat rooms, but when someone solicits a child to meet them in real life, 9999 times out of 10000 their intentions are not to hang out and play xbox.

  4. Re:Missing a major benefit to offshoring on CS Prof Decries America's 'Internal Brain Drain' · · Score: 1

    government setting the wages would be no help, they would be set to some absurdly low level.

    scrap the H1B program for any new applicants, anyone currently here gets their H1B converted into a green card if they want it.

    the entire H1B program is based on BS. there is no shortage of qualified American workers, just look at the unemployment numbers for people with 4 year and higher degrees. right now it is about 5% and that is not counting people who have taken a mcjob or two or three to put food on the table

    now there is always going to be a shortage of labor at the price industry wants to pay, because that will always be "less than we are paying now"

    the reason i say convert H1B's to green cards is that these conditions are not caused by our "guest workers" but rather the employers that use them, and there is no reason to punish them, instead free them of the near slavery of "work for us or get deported, even if you find another job"

    Under H1B rules that is supposed to be illegal, however the companies get away with it because there is nobody to stop them. The corporate classes keep most tech workers convinced that a union will hurt them somehow. Unionization is the only way we will see an end to tech worker abuse (60, 70, 80 hour weeks, while being given bullshit management titles with no actual management duties in order to defraud them out of their lawfully entitled overtime pay, absurd non-compete requirements, etc).

    we need to recognize that as tech workers we are not magically different from other types of workers this is not a zero sum game, unions can help workers stand up against stupid and wasteful or destructive policies that hurt the employer but create a short term gain for the individual creating the policy.

    i have heard some speculation from people who know a lot more about nuke plants than i do that the facilities took more damage from the quake itself then is being told, cooling should have been restored by now if the problem was powering the pumps or even getting a new pump in place, they were saying pipes may have broken either directly from the shaking or from pressure surges, rendering parts of the cooling system unrecoverable without rebuilding.

    pedophiles are able to get counseling

    they can even do so without any legal stigmas, there is a huge difference between pedophiles and child molesters, one have harmed a child and should be put down, the other has unnatural urges that they may or may not need help with suppressing.

    it is a crime to chat with an adult who you believe is a child.

    don't bother, something about the chrome plugin infrastructure means plugin blocking can only operate at the page level, either allow or deny all plugins on a page, unlike firefox's noscript which can enable/disable per source domain so you can use a site's scripted navigation without enabling scripts from embedded ads which are more likely to be annoying and more likely to be infected.
