Well, in a way they are correct. The money saved by hiring low cost visa workers can be used to hire a larger number of landscapers and pool cleaners. By making the rich richer it would create a larger number of jobs, just not good jobs.
That they will do what is in their best interests is predictable and reasonable. What they are able to do and how they do it on the other hand are worth examining.
To take an extreme (at least in the US) example, picture a company simply having its rivals killed or kidnaps the children of officials with power over their merger. Both of these are things that would be in their best interests, but we generally do not want companies to be able to take those kinds of steps without consequences that make it against their best interests.
There is a bit of poetic justice there. Back when GPLv3 was being debated, they made sure you could not do this type of thing with embedded products but, since many of their rank and file worked in the world of web servers, they also made sure the license did not cross those boundaries.
Maybe, maybe not. Non-tech companies generally have pretty simple needs, often not enough to justify a full time person much less extract any value from, a you say, rolling their own.
I am skeptical there would be the same backlash if the winners were not women and minorities since scifi has always been a very flexable genre. Seems like a rather fabricated justification to skirt around the sexism.
I can also not help notice that she is singling out criticism of these changes in law, but not calling out the law's supporters when religious freedom is in such worse shape in other regions of the world.
There is a bit of irony in how many people scream that sexism and racism are fake, but if women and minorities won most of the awards it MUST be because of SJWs and such since they couldn't have won them on merit.
Or even worse, discovering that a bug due to an easter egg opened up a security flaw or data corruption, since they are not exactly run through testing.
That was my thought. Outside using a slightly newer buzz word (through 'pair programming' is kinda dated now), it seems like they are just talking about having more group assignments in introductory classes, which as long as they do not go completely overboard is probably a good thing.
Adjusted for inflation and looking at products which have been manufactured for decades, Walmart prices are actually not that good, often coming out higher then their earlier counterparts.
When it comes to manufacturing costs, businesses can be surprisingly penny wise and pound foolish. A company I used to work for produced a $2500 device that ended up having a high defect rate due to not being willing to spend 11 cents on the lining which engineering told them they needed to prevent the exact problem they encountered. Naturally the solution was to fire engineering for their horrible mistake and then move those tasks to a manufacturing company in China.
I admit, that is a recurring pressure that company's have to contend with, though even that has some pretty good best practices for dealing with which do not involve a single hardcoded password across an entire product line.
Costs due to malpractice insurance is only a few percent of the total cost. But good job swallowing that line, it is a great tool for beating back those patients and their pesky protections. Things were so much cheaper when doctors and hospitals did not have to worry about problems they cause having consequences for them.
Yeah, I keep having to remember that people are generally ignorant of the fact congress is the institution that sets both the budget and tax rates, and the executive branch is only tasked with spending the funds and begging for congress to release the money it is requiring be spent.

I do not know, I think we should try an experiment involving high pressure hoses and insertion to see if they do in fact get bigger.

They can only be as stupid as they want because BTC is of minimal importance and influence on people's lives.
While neither earth shattering nor life effecting, it is still kinda neat to watch the process of science and reexamination.

*nod* and 10 billion spread out across so many projects, usually at only a few 100k at a time, is not that unreasonable.

I would not say that counts since that applies to for-profit venues. Pastors operating through a church are still not required to.
I have yet to see ANY gay marriage law that forces pastors to marry people they do not want to marry.

I am picturing two architects with only one pen between them and smirking.

The problem tends to be that the people who make the decisions get enough cash out of it to live elsewhere.
Nah, they would still find ways to blame others for not being as rich as they think they should be. Maybe if they just deregulate a little more....
Isn't addressing accusations of fraud kinda their mandate?
That culture alone is probably enough to drive most programmers away.
