I hear you, I took umbrage with that comment as well. But I think it’s fair to consider whether we are doing enough for Americans just as we are welcoming newcomers to settle here at the same time? My experience as a native born Californian

You make a good point about China. It’s still an ethnostate, and I don’t see how it can reconcile such a strong ethnic nationalist identity with its own demographic crisis and competition for labor from abroad.

I think your explanation about large numbers of motivated students pursuing lucrative Non-STEM degrees is incomplete without mentioning the cost of an undergraduate and graduate STEM education in the USA. The most critical shortages of STEM

Your entry point is a masters and probably Phd in Electrical Engineering, specializing in some aspect of semiconductor manufacturing. It’s definitely not CS.

Yes, thats my suspicion. The department's unofficial mandate is rather open ended so I am trying to make sense of this with limited information.

So I've listened to Vivek in interviews, and its clear to me at least that he 1) Doesn't like poor immigrants, considers them a net drain on national resources. 2) Believes that the profile of a desirable immigrant is Educated, En

Ehh, I think you’re projecting quite a bit here. From my experience, side projects are what sets sets students apart in undergraduate. I frequently show around my side projects at career fairs and get lots of interviews as a result.

I think you have a very cynical view of things and expect anybody short of being a saint to be a hypocrite. Sure people care about some things while ignoring others, but that doesnt make them indifferent, there is only so much moral bandwid

We all certainly have the capacity for it, but by no means can you say each and every person on Earth gives into it. Rise above it or not, its your choice.

Youre a assuming a lot about me. Who says I dont care about drone strikes? You dont know me. “ most people don't really care about the places you care about” Youre right, cause we’ve each got our lives to worry about and the world is h

What do I mean by financing violence and corruption? I mean that the money these organizations make is then used to strengthen the power and reach of these organizations through violence and corruption, the means of coercion. Mexico is a pe

Cool, you do you then. But Ive got family in some of these places you seem to care so little about. Indifference to evil is all the same to me.

I really don't care if people consume/purchase/make/sell drugs if the money isn't financing terrible things someplace in the world. I think the first step to making these kind of guarantees for consumers is legalizi

Hell I would too! So long as I could go to sleep at night knowing my money didnt help finance violence and corruption. Thats why I really hope we legalize recreational drugs. Tackling supply and the demand just doesnt work, people want them

Yea, but just because exploitation is commonplace doesnt make it right. Thats a terrible justification

Its not just the obvious examples like cocaine and methamphetamines. Im mean MDMA and other synthetic drugs are usually manufactured abroad and smuggled into the UK/US by criminal organizations whose income also finances violence and

Look up Blue River Technology. Proof of concept for this tech already exists, John Deere will have this tech out in the coming years.

Oh snap, good point. I guess I havent met anybody who fasts for say, Ramadan. I meet plenty of people fasting as part of a diet.

You don't get enough calories to maintain a stable weight. The only reason I can think of why a 21st century human would deliberately starve themselves is weightloss.

“Humans would have never evolved the ability to eat meat if it didn't confer a natural advantage over foragers.” Is this really true though about evolution in general. Evolution happens because of adaptations due to selective pressures

There exists a similar if not more robust gravity simulator that's available for free to schools. It's called Universe Sandbox. Here is a link for instructions on obtaining educational licenses. http://universesandbox.c

I think you need to run some anti-spy ware software on your computer. I don't see any ads of that sort on the blog page.
