The west has a very serious problem created by increased efficiency and automation: How to make sure enough wealth reaches all citizens to that they can live decently (ensuring freedom from social unrest) and spend locally (ensuring a working economy). The idea of a base-income for everybody is one possibility that has merit, in fact it seems to be the only one with a good chance of working. "Create more jobs" has basically been a failure, and nothing else suggests itself. The base-income for everybody may still be a failure, but it needs to be tried to see whether it works.
It may also well be that none of the two jobs would have been created without the availability of an H1B for one of them, giving a net gain in American jobs from H1B. A possible scenario is that both jobs would have been off-shored without the one H1B worker.
You are spot on that simple math (that ignores most of the factors by its nature) is not enough. Sure, I think that companies wanting more H1Bs are mostly into getting cheap workers, but what the actual effect on the job market is, is far from clear.
Very likely. Cloud providers are routinely lying about their performance, or you need to dig very deep to find what the actual technical assurances are.
Not necessarily. If the two jobs would not have been created if H1B workers were not available, then one American job would have been created. Not saying this is the case, just pointing out the flaw in your logic. This is a complex issue. There is also something even larger: The US economy. If it does worse without H1Bs, that can mean both a better or worse situation for American workers, it could even mean a better situation for American workers, but a worse situation for Americans overall, depends all on the details, the numbers and the long-term trends.
This is a complicated issue, there are no simple answers that are true.
If you are not willing to run a certain risk in order to protect those you are sworn to protect (and yes, that includes violent citizens), then you are unfit to work as a police officer and should seek other employment. There are quite a few jobs that require certain character traits of those doing them, this is one.
I must have misunderstood this "education" business completely, despite about a decade or so of teaching experience! If I had only known it was all about "snazzy graphics" and the right technology, maybe I would have been more successful at teaching!
Or not. This may be the most pathetic large-scale fail in the the history of teaching.
Yes indeed. "A" players hire "A" players, but "B" players hire "C" players.
And job satisfaction is key for everybody that has the required talent and then went to the trouble to really polish these skills. Of course, "if you pay peanuts, you only get monkeys" still applies, but good engineers and scientists rarely aim to get rich.
1. The colonists did know where they were gong when they went to colonize America 2. It was mass-scale and used to get away from where they were before 3. The distance involved was large and the travel time comparatively small
But you could have seen that if you had stopped to think for a minute. I now predict you are going to further demonstrate your lack of understanding.
If we continue to suck this bad at IT security...

... then this future will not materialize any time soon, as none of these devices will work right. If what happens currently with mobile phones is any indicator, then all the stupid mistakes will be made all over again with the "Internet of Things", likely including no easy way to patch your fridge, stove, etc. Of course, this may eventually be fixed, but there is no way in this universe to make that by 2030. If we are really lucky, mobile phones will be reasonable secure by then, but that is it.
As somebody that in some respects would qualify as a "Rock Star", people looking for one are an immediate red flag. Not only are they buzzword-users, they likely messed something up to a serious degree and are now looking for a person to clean up that mess. Quite often, that will not be possible with the border conditions given, and the pay will often suck in addition.
I disagree. The problem is people that vastly over-estimate their own skills and insights and then proceed to mess it up. Authentication is never a trivial thing. Faking that triviality only makes things worse.
... if they work really hard at curbing egos and huge financial incentives. As it is, quite a bit of medical "research" is utterly pathetic and counter-productive. Unfortunately, more and more of that is happening in other fields too. For example in CS, not a lot of real scientific progress has been made in the last 30 years, due to the same stupidity, arrogance and perverted incentives.
At least not in any meaningful way. Forget about colonization in any way that allows many people that want to leave for at least a century. It is also quite possible that the colonization of America will remain an unique event, and nothing even remotely similar will be happening again, ever.
Unfortunately, the same is happening all over Europe. This might be the thing that brings about the end of the dominance of the western world. Well, stupidity and greed deserve their rewards, I guess.
Indeed. Something went very wrong after the last crisis was over: Companies continued to decrease STEM staff quality and wages paid, despite revenues being back to good and sometimes excellent. This has two effects, both catastrophic in the long run: 1.) fewer and fewer bright and capable people will go into STEM 2.) when the next crisis hits, companies will be a lot less able to deal with it, as they have systematically dumbed down their employee-pools. The only "positive" effects for the companies I see is even higher bonuses for even less deserving CEOs and the like.
Somehow, they have completely forgotten that STEM is hard, it is what makes the modern world tick, and that good STEM workers are both critical for the long-term success of any tech company and hard to get.
As far as I know, the only possible harm is feelings of inadequacy. You fix that by explaining to the kids that porn is not recorded in one take and that the performers are athletes and hence the whole thing is about as real as a superhero action movie.
Oooooh, you must have missed out on all the ways you could get it! Finding dad's magazines, interesting findings in paper put out for recycling, school-mates that have something to show off, etc. No, you cannot prevent it.
While this is more due to limitations in said masters and their organizations, it is nonetheless a very important rule. If you must do it, then do it privately. If you need not, then do not do it.
While averages work reasonably well for larger planes, having accurate weight data does increase the safety margin even there. For small planes it is critical to have good numbers and there have been crashes where one thing went wrong and accurate weight numbers might have prevented them.
Of course, what the bean-counters will do is somehow make heavier people pay more (and without making things cheaper for lighter ones). This is however a political problem.

Fixed that for you, Xerox.

For a beta-version, it would need to be at last "feature complete".

So they felt left-out and added this option to decrease security significantly _and_ make it hard for users to prevent that....
So if kids watch porn, that fuels sex trafficking and violence against children? Yeah, that makes sense.
As far as I know, the only possible harm is feelings of inadequacy. You fix that by explaining to the kids that porn is not recorded in one take and that the performers are athletes and hence the whole thing is about as real as a superhero action movie.
Or alternatively, a teen that is able to download the Tor browser bundle, or burn a Tails CD. Who wants British porn anyways?
