I've worked at multiple companies where a VP goes with a vendor, buying 10s of millions of dollars of network gear, then goes to work for them after a year or 2, after the hardware is deployed.
Theres always seems to be some kickbacks, wouldn't doubt some GM execs went to go work for those manufacturing/robot vendors after buying billions in equipment.
I experienced that with some cisco engineers who really had no tech background, had the paperwork, but couldnt do basic works. We had to fire that H1B Indian NOC and find a different one. We also had to ask basic tech questions of engineers to make sure they could do simple things like SSH. How one gets a Cisco certification and not know how to ssh smells like fraud.
I was hoping the 20K would be from accreddited not paper mills. South America is trying to steal doctors from other countries for kinda the same reason, its gotton so bad, Cuba wont let doctors travel with their families, because they wont come back after a better life and not kicking pack a large part of your pay.
I was speaking too some of the H1B engineers and the said the company they worked for had mandatory hygiene classes. The more American H1B's that lived in the western countires tended to not have the hygiene issues. The restrooms where so bad at ATT some people filed HR complaints, that's why we got moved out of the building after a few months, the employees would refused to use shit covered bathrooms. ATT was the only place I worked at that like that, at many companies never experienced or seen that again, but I've heard others mention the hygiene issues with some H1B's. So Dont judge all H1Bs, and this was many many years ago.
I worked at ATT Wireless when number portability was released, and people could finally switch cell phone providers and keep their number. The VP of finance fired the entire department running the software/services and brought in Mindtree (i think) to replace the workers. He had a couple hundred H1B's working months in advance of the migration.
The Migration failed horribly. ATT Wireless missed the deadline, hundreds of people lost their jobs, and ATT wireless couldn't enact number portability quick enough and was fined millions of dollars a day.
My engineering department was moved into the same building as the H1B's, and it was a nightmare. I've worked with H1B's over the years, but never experienced the mess of the restrooms and building. Working at other companies with H1B's and Indian Nocs, and no issues, so no idea why ATT and Mindtree was so horrible. My experience with H1B's have been mixed, some cheap companies pushing Cisco certified engineers who didn't even know how to use SSH to talented skilled programmers who became citizens. So I do think some H1B's are being used as an excuse that no US workers can be found, theres always unemployeed looking for work, when I know some engineers who took 3-6 months, and a Storage engineer who took a year to find a storage architect job. YMMV.
Also up here in Seattle, there are entire blocks of apartment buildings around Microsoft that Indian consulting companies rent out, and put 3-5 H1B's to an apartment, they live dirt cheap, its rather depressing to see how they live. Its not like theres not enough engineers around this area, we have Amazon, Google, Facebook, ATT, TMobile, Verizon, Apple, Blackberry, Tableu, and a zillion other tech companies here. Lots of us citizens looking for work. Last time I needed a job, I just posted what I wanted on craigslist in internet jobs, and had a recruiter calling me with what I wanted. But I admit I'm lucky, I had telecom experience in a telecom town.
So is cleaning up H1B abuse good? Sure. Companies posting for database admins with 10+ years experience, programing, and paying 7 dollars an hour, so they can post "cant find any workers!" to hire H1B workers, is a scam. And that should be ended.
Also, I like the 20K for PHD/Masters H1B, those people will demand high wages, and should help boost up wages for everyone. (I hope)
Looking at the pdf presentation in the OP's link, he went somewhere that some people do not want to be discussed, Gender differences and gender preferences.
Instead of refuting his argument, it's easier to call him a sexist bigot and just discredit him that way.
Appears he's making the statement, historically men did dominate the field, but didn't primarily exclude women, and when women started joining they won Nobels. But many fields of study appears to have gender differences, and that sexism wasn't the cause, but gender preference.
He states his theory, cultural Marxism re-writing history to promote oppression as the reason women did not contribute. Along the same lines of re-shaping history to push the narative that exploration and advancements were performed by men who raped, murdered, stole land and murdered indigenous people.
The problem is the virial CoC being spread around projects. The CoC is already being used as a weapon against people in a "Wrong Think" and making news.
The "For the Children" nanny mentality that a CoC needs to be in place to protect people from a group of people, when its being used as a club against immediately after Linus accepts it, shows the problem with it. The CoC is already a problem and being reported on, this is already way political. We are talking about it because its political.
Why do we even have to know the sexual orientation, gender or race of programmers and engineers? Other than language difficulties from non-english as their first language speakers causing misunderstanding, here really shouldn't be any drama. Even stupid jokes should be excluded, its a technical list.
But when a code of conduct lists people to protect, it starts a once side argument. How about don't be an asshole to everyone, why does the CoC have to state a list of people that you shouldn't be an asshole too? This is is nothing but political propaganda and those politics should stay off technical lists.
All this "cis white males" are the enemy being pushed around is no better than someone pushing "color hair LGBTQ+" stereotypes need to be protected.
This "Us vs Them" is what these types code of conducts promote. If you have to list people to protect instead of language, you picked out a group of people as offenders and make the others victims. The Tribal nature of silicon valley that whites straight males are the enemy and then put into code of conduct is wrong, and it's being spread around projects is petty and a way to try to get back at people.
"Be Excellent to each other" shouldn't be written to imply "This means you, white cis males!".
Just because the world is divided in left vs right, worse than ever, we in tech should be above this tribal nature, not going towards it at full speed.
You get into the habit of using facebook single sign on for a majority of web pages and apps, then you find out facebook buys financial banking data to tie to your account, then they get voting data, surfing history, contacts. Nobody knew back then that facebook would buy companies up, gobble data, to have such indepth view into everyones lives. Its not a cute and fun social networking site anymore.
Didn't most of the basic income projects fail, and this says the government wouldn't be able to fund it?!
What am I missing here, how is this not just socialism (or communism) being called something else? That money has to come from somewhere, this trial is donation based, but if this was at the national level it would have to be funded by the the workers, which by this account is less than 1/2 of the people. Why would someone paying most of their wages want to it taxed at over 50% to support people not wanting to work?
Wouldnt it be better for them to just start a commune in some remote area, where the cost of living is extremely low, and let each person contribute? If its so easy they should be able to get people to join freely, with some doing all the work, and some people just living off everyone else's hard work. No hard feelings right?
How you can fund this "Utopia" without taking workers income or owning the corporations to milk them, seems impossible.
When countries are increasing the retirement age, you can be many people in their late 50's will want to quit, working sucks.
Remember you can't get Gab.ai on Android or iPhone. Google/Apple are blocking the app and using rules that would also block twitter and Instagram on same grounds. If you think there is no nudity or violent comments on twitter or Instagram, you would be majorly wrong. Hell, even the chan apps are allowed on the 2 major phone markets, and those are the same content that appears on Gab.ai, twitter, Instagram, etc.
But to compare the gab.ai to pornhub app, is a way stretch of rules while allowing preferred apps.
Guess what I'm saying, we have unelected gatekeepers using their monopolistic companies to control what we can see for political reasons that they break their own rules for companies they like. I dont want my ISP to control what I can access, I don't want my phone vendor to either.
True, but that wiki link has race AND religion, age, sex, citizenship, etc. But if your politics and religion are the same things, how do you ban Jews or Muslins for promoting laws against other protected classes? Can you ban them for hate speech if they say they don't believe in LGBT or Women's rights? Or Palenestians promoting death to Isreal if its part of their political agenda?
Nothing is really binary logic in these discussions, its up to the moderator for the business to make that call. If you are pro something, you are probably more inclined to ban/mute if it goes against your views, and call it a "community guideline" which is a blanket rule used as a weapon.
Trying to look at new cars reviews on youtube is a PITA, a large portion are text readers reading off a the same blog. Same goes for reviews on appliances, when I tried to search on air conditioners. I report them, they never go away, youtube is slacking hard allowing this crap to ruin youtube reviews. And the fake views are promoting these fake videos.
And the 1st amendment that people have the right to know how to make weapons. You have been able to buy gunsmithing books and machinery tools since ever.
Lots of Indian contractors living 5-6 to an apartment building, just walking distance to Microsoft, hardly any furniture except a TV, they work crazy hours, and send money home.
M$ has been using cheap visa workers for years, everyone around the Seattle area knows it, sees it.
Are these the workers M$ will move overseas? Or the flux of middleman project managers they burn through?
I can see it now, pissed off guy wants to go on a shooting spree.
Order 3d printer on amazon after hours of research, forgot to order filament, order filament, open cad, sketch rifle, does a horrible job, searches internet for a pattern, downloads pattern, load pattern into 3d printer, hit print, hours later, realizes he has wrong filament, re-order filament, printer pauses ruining print, try printing again, platter not cold enough and ruins print, platter to hot and melts print, after 2 dozen tries, gets a good print. Realizes he needs bullets, drives to sporting store buys bullets. Takes gun into woods, gun shoots 1 bullet at a time due to stress, gun jams, gun breaks after 4 bullets.
Queue up another print job to print replacement gun, repeat, while waiting for his 3rd print, subscribes to 3d printer forums.
Over a month late, finally gets a good prototype gun printed, forgets why he was mad, and starts printing 3d printed boats.
AMD is in control, they are doing the design, they are just having another company they partly own do the FAB work, thus they stay contractural with Intel.
Just like Apple uses Samsung FAB for its SOCs. The article even says the security updates for the eypc cpus are almost exact for the Chinese version of the chips.
This is actually good, it means the technology flows from the USA into China, and they keep buying and using our technology. We want them dependant on our designs and not clone our chips and go off on their own designs.
The only downside I can see, if Chinese knockoffs appear in the US, but not sure the 3rd party FAB's could even produce anything of that quality for a modern cpu.
If its the Chinese government, if they want to steal tech, they will. I'd rather them pay in the open and be on the stock market, above aboard. More entrenched into the global trade process is better, imho.

Many states have certified online colleges for people who work at affordable costs, around 5-6K per year.
Clearly affordable and easy to pay off, and geared at careers needing people.
Western Governours College has degrees in IT/Tech, teaching, healthcare, business and even offer masters degrees.

Its always been the same issue, over and over and over. If you need sources for 3rd party closed drivers, you cant update the kernel without them.
This needs to be fixed. This will fix everything, older android can be updated, linux systems like phones and tablets can be updated, forever.
