Exactly, shut them down, American interests will be protected. Most of the folks getting on the H1-B have a masters degree in an American university, if they are in SV, it's usually a top-tier one. I've personally made some of the

I think it's an astro-turf campaign, it feels like it. Because no one thinking logically is gonna push an agenda that hard without actually thinking through it.

I'm sorry to break it to you, if your company isn't paying prevailing wages, they're doing something illegal. They need to be shut-down, not the whole fucking program.

Look, if you really wanted to understand this, you'd be honest in your arguments and present a better understanding than just repeating that it costs pennies to print 100$ (and therefore USD is superior) If it was so easy and cheap to

what "additional functions" are you referring to? I haven't set foot in a bank in a decade, I need someone to refresh my memory. How can you consider my point "void" if it does provide some of the functions? I can&#

This is another one of my pet peeves. So, you think a dollar bill is printed and that's it, there's no ecosystem around it to secure and manage the logistics around our current banking system. Sit down and think for a bit before t

I don't understand this "unproductive activity" sentiment at all. It's as if we're taking away compute from "productive" processes that are in a dire need of compute! If there are productive processes that

That sounds intriguing as well, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around the kind of knowledge needed to "venusform" a human. I have to say that the idea of sending a swarm of robots and setting up a bunch of chemical reaction

Why aren't people thinking about sending various robots/devices that could terraform planets before humans going in to live there? Is this something that is impossible to do/imagine? what am I missing?

While I do appreciate the benefits of a ketogenic diet, I don't think it's for everybody. This could work great for people who are "out of balance", i.e. if you have excess body fat, it might be beneficial to switch to a

While I agree that hiring a US citizen would be better for the country and I'm certain that all talented US citizens have jobs or are creating more jobs (through startups). But, I think there is merit in attracting top talent from othe
