Amazon, Google and Microsoft have cloud platforms. Technically by the "network is the computer" mantra from Sun Solaris days, these are supercomputers.
There Linux compatibility is so essential to get a toehold there Microsoft had to support linux way of doing things. Finally it relented and introduced "Linux subsystem of Windows" support.
Does it support incoming ssh connections? I use ssh to go out of Windows to connect to Linux machines in my network. If the linux subsystem allows incoming ssh and RSA keys, I see Active Directory losing, eventually, to Linux based authentication servers.
It is stupid to say "constitution guarantees only the free speech, there is no right to anonymity". There are many instances it is very difficult or dangerous to espouse unpopular opinions without anonymity.
At the same time, people's right to confront and cross examine their accusers, to defend themselves from unfair allegations and actions based on ulterior motives with anonymous accusers.
How to resolve the conflict?
Do it case by case. Do not talk in generalities. Go to the court, and show that "this anonymous accusation by this person is defamatory". If the court agrees with it the accuser should lose anonymity. If the court thinks it is a powerful entity trying to squelch speech using money and power, the court can dismiss the request.
Three judges have looked at the specifics of the case and agreed the accuser should lose anonymity. As long as this order applies to just this accusation, we should be ok with this.
What would happen if the investigation shows Yelp fosters an environment where wild accusations are rewarded, wilder the better, damn the truthfulness? Should Yelp too be held responsible for amplifying defamatory speech? Or does it deserve protections? Who ensures that Yelp does not promote defamatory speech at the cost of veracity for its own commercial interests?
Got the Nigerian Prince scam spam email, and this one was different. It touted some sort of
App development that will scam Uber out of millions of dollars, and wanted someone in USA
to front run him.
Once in a while the Nigerian Scam Prince seems to be telling the truth!
ahh, your perception plane or sphere is different from that of the moderators obviously. Learn to look past these illusions caused by your/our sensory errors and to become one with the Brahman. The Brahman that permeates you, the real you, not the brain that calls itself you, not the body that houses that brain, these are as temporary as the clothes your body wears, and the Brahman that permeates in me is the same Brahman, the sole, primary and ultimate cause for all actions. Brahman is the cause of all actions, results of all actions and object of all actions.
The one who realizes that becomes the truly enlightened.
None of the 50,000 coal miners want their kids to become coal miners.
Every thing the coal industry had has been stripped and sold. From profitable mines, to equipment, to river front real estate, to scenic valleys, to pension funds to... every last thing the coal industry had has been stripped and raided and stolen and sold away.
The last thing remaining is the vote of these desperate people, stuck in a dead end job, too old to retrain, in isolated communities. A country as rich as ours should be able to take care of them. After all the coal industry built America, they contributed significantly to the wealth we are enjoying today. We should be able to buy any mine that is losing money, keep all the miners on the payroll to properly shut the mine down, cap off, and close it. Absorb them all into fish and wildlife service and park service and do conservation work till they all retire. There are not that many left, and we need their expertise to close the mines safely.
But that is not going to happen. Their vote is valuable, and keeping them angry and desperate is the way to get it.
That bullshit will impress idiots with MBAs, not the actual down and dirty coders.
All the Agile evangelists take the same damned line, "Agile, done correctly, will not have these problems". "But.. But these problems exist". "Ah, they are not doing Agile correctly, because, now say it with me, Agile, done correctly, will not have these problems".
I simply say, "Agile can not be done correctly, Agile will not save you money or time or effort".
Instead of hiring qualified coders and good managers, you hire scrum masters who promise to make a baby in one month and get nine women pregnant.
Apple just announced, it has fixed the problem. It is a sleek white heater case, iMitten sold separately for 79$. It will keep the phone at the recommended operating temperature. After market replacement heater jackets are not recommended, it would void the warranty.
"Equifax executives will forgo their 2017 bonuses," reports CNBC. But according to the New York Post, the company "hasn't lost any significant business customers... Equifax largely does business with banks and other financial institutions -- not with the people they collect information on."
"The dope about the dopes is our product, the banks that buy it are our customers. These idiots might be pissed off at at us, but who cares, we don't need their love, just their info." All absolute truths.
There is some minor hiccups due to law suits. The first line of defense it has is binding arbitration. Since we the public are not really the customers, we have not really agreed to any binding arbitration clause. It is possible the fine pint in our credit application might have some line about binding arbitration. But, that is with the bank, second that is for any dispute about the accuracy and veracity of the credit reports. Not about lack of security in Equifax harming us.
But even if it gets bigger, it would be well nigh impossible to prove Equifax breach is why our identities are stolen.
So in the end, the sad fact is, nothing is going to happen to equifax.
The Truth is Truth. The all permeating thing that you materialists call physics and laws of physics is Brahman. What we perceive as The Cosmos, and its physical manifestations are all projections, mere projection of Brahman in our plane of perception, or our sphere of perception. This is the grand illusion, or Maya. Only when we teach ourselves not to be distracted by the physics you would perceive the Brahman, the Truth.
Bear in mind sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from trollery.
You have no clue about the level of people like me. I am not given to boasting a lot, and I feel a little embarrassed to toot my own horn. But, the fact is, I am creme-de-la-creme of India, got through JEE, and easily place in the top 0.5% in any aptitude test. I joined a startup that was creating simulation software, half mill a year in sales and took it to 100 million dollars a year in sales,. The coding team had four Americans, two Indians (IIT Kgp and IIT Madras), one Chinese, one Pole, mentored by sons an second world war Hungarian refugee to Canada.
If America had not given me an F1 in 1990 and a H1B in 1995, I would have joined a similar team in England, Germany, Japan or Korea and helped create that 800 high paying upper middle class jobs and two dozen millionaires there instead of here. I estimate my skills created jobs that collectively pay 15 million dollars a year, not counting my pay check.
But law of large numbers and the regression to the mean is relentless. My kids, our kids, are not as smart as we are. We are appalled by the abuse of H1B that puts our kids at a disadvantage. But we know what is good and what is bad about H1B and listen us, we are Americans, our wealth and our children are in America. We want America to prosper and succeed.
Then prove it and get the h1b. Expert in Hindu rituals, south indian vegetarian cooking, expert in Sanskrit scriptures, south indian classical dance teaching... Our temple has brought them under special visas.
The term "liberal arts" is distinguished from "technical arts" by who studies it, not by what is studied.
Liberal arts are meant for people with independent means of income and wealth who do not need the education to earn a living. Liberal comes from liberty and freedom. Such people would learn useless things that takes to their fancy without worrying about whether it would lead to paying jobs.
I think auction is not a bad idea. Also the bid should be for the salary, not a price to buy a slot in H1B. The salary being offered to any H1B should be part of public record. That will help a little in wage transparency for all.
I am nursing two H1B applications through the process. Both were easy cases that would have sailed through in the past. (MS Comp Sci, U Washington, massively parallel computing, MS Mech E, Cal Tech, finite element methods and mesh generation). With published papers in reputed journals.
Both were hit with RFE. Guidance from the lawyers were:
Show that the job duties require the qualifications demanded in the job listing
Show that the candidate had the qualifications when hired.
Show that the job will continue to need all those qualifications for the entire duaration of the application for H1B (three years).
They seem to be cracking down on the practice of finding unusual combinations of qualifications in the candidates (like BS in accounting, fluency in Kannada language and truck driving license), putting them all as necessary qualifications making it impossible for anyone else to apply.
We only hire people with Masters or PhDs from top American schools. We were at a very heave disadvantage in the earlier loose era. TCS, Wipro and the assorted Indian body shoppers would grab the H1Bs and our candidates had to live through lottery. But now, we can easily meet the law, in spirit as well as the letter. Personally I welcome such strict scrutiny. It should have been like this from day 1.
US high school grads with 1 or 2 year training is enough to do most jobs done by the Indian Body shop imports. They should not even be considered for H1B. Simple coding is all they do, and they were gaming the system. They should restrict H1Bs for Graduate degrees from US universities. That will curb the rampant resume inflation and outright lies in the resumes.
The government and law and order protects property. Actually it protects the property rights of less well of property owners. Poor have no property and they really don't have any real stake in the establishment or perpetuation of the government. Poor have nothing to lose, if they rise up in rebellion and destroy everything. They don't own what was destroyed and their lives could not get any worse.
Taxation is theft crowd would be the first one to lose everything in a rebellion.
I've lived in houses for 42 years, and have yet to have one burn down on me. As a rough approximation, we could say that the probability of my house burning down next year is less than 1 in 42, or less than 2.4%. Yet I have fire insurance, because it is worth it.
Must be liberal arts grad. Your neighbor too lived for 40 or 50 years without burning down a house. Now suddenly your upper bound drops to 1%. And then add more and more people and you will find a few who lost houses to fire. Your sample might eventually include Betram Wooster who burnt down two houses, (or was it three?). Pretty soon you can get a very good estimate of actual likelyhood of you losing a home to fire in the next one year. The insurance company has this actuarial statistic and priced you insurance premium accordingly.
The actuarial science actually dates back to 1700s when the mortality of the priests in England was calculated with surprising accuracy.
He says people like him, and Mark Zuckerberg knew the potential consequences, but they did what they did anyway.
They might not have realized the full implications. And they might not even agree on the full implications even now. So it is not correct to claim they knew it would be this bad and still did it.
Secondly, even if they agree on the full implications, they might argue, "if I don't do it the other guy will do it. So why not me?". When the financial crisis was brewing and when the bubble was about to burst, so many people knew what was going on. 1 to 30 leverage on questionable securities? To shoot for an additional 0.02% return? It was crazy. They knew it was bad. All securities carried AAA rating but some would fetch a full percent or 1.5% over other AAA securities. Why? Collectively the market was not buying the AAA rating and were demanding lower rated security interest for those bonds. That shows the the entire market knew the rating was bogus. Still they argued, "If I don't do it others are doing it, and if I will be punished in comparison".
Free market is like evolution. It does not plan ahead, it does not do short term sarifice to get long term benefit, Every adaptation by every individual life form must improve its fitness locally at that point in time for that conditions.

We sponsor for green card all the H1Bs we hire. We hope to keep them in our company for the next 30 years.
If America had not given me an F1 in 1990 and a H1B in 1995, I would have joined a similar team in England, Germany, Japan or Korea and helped create that 800 high paying upper middle class jobs and two dozen millionaires there instead of here.

It was disgraceful. I am glad they are finally cracking down on this practice.
