Because you can only protest one thing at a time, it's a universal law.

I agree with you on the immigrant protections, but not everyone agrees on the scarcity point: http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-work/education/the-stem-crisis-i...

Yes, I edited for clarification.

Yes, the so-called "shortage" of STEM workers is just an excuse to relax immigration laws in order to pay foreigners less than domestic workers.

Unfortunately, hover effects are becoming less important to me because of how awkward they are on touch devices.

My point is not that there are no lazy people who don't take responsibility for themselves. Nor does it sound like your situation is even close to my example of a mentally ill drug addicted single parent who beats his child. I do recog

I wonder how you would have turned out as the child of a single parent mentally ill drug addict? I'm assuming that the 5 year old you would have pulled yourself up by your bootstraps (instead of being beaten with them), and you would h

No, the valid question is, "What can we do as a society to reduce the amount of homeless in the city?" Asking about why a given location is the correct place to put them is not a valid question. Unless of course you're a soci

Why does discussing news stories about threats make us insecure? Why do threats not matter if we're creating something (and for that matter even if you don't create things)? Why should creative communities not discuss threats? If

Actually in studies about this topic, the "proportionality" or harshness of the sentence does little to nothing to deter the crimes (more than a nominal sentence). What does prevent crime is making the apprehension of a suspect gu

Just because you don't have a Github account, doesn't mean there aren't a plethora of other ways to demonstrate the ability to code with samples etc. Don't conflate no Github account with no ability to demonstrate code.

Sorry but you can wire transfer $150 million dollars and it will not cost you millions.

This is the main point. Also, in the first paragraph of the post "github or other code portfolio". The whole criticism was with respect to employers who only use github as a filter.

Foundation 4 had also dropped IE8 support. For basic stuff like the grid, it's quite easy to manually add IE8 support, given that you're never going to be seeing IE8 on a mobile phone or tablet. For some of the more advanced compo

Same, T_T but thankfully I'm not using many components, and seems easy to upgrade.

If you think the issue is about what Github "cares" about, you missed the point entirely. The point is that those who have the free time and opportunity to contribute to OSS projects are more likely to be of some means. Given the

There's a difference between a potential candidate putting their Github profile on their resume and having hiring managers filter out all candidates who do not have a profile.

When did sales and biz dev become "hacking"? Can we put this nonsense to bed already?

In his post he acknowledged the scaling difficulty, but the point is, having to scale is a good problem to have and you'll be able to afford good engineering at that point since you have "traction".

Well, the great thing about single-payer is you have the rest of the industrialized world to learn from. The pitfalls are not entirely unknown.

Which is of course how SV got its start, through government investment. Socialize the risk, privatize the profits, it's the American way.

Government more or less created Silicon Valley (government subsidies, guaranteed government contracts, direct government investment), yet it is now "powerless"? If anything, Silicon Valley is a great example of the power of govern

This guy linked to the IEEE Spectrum article, but I don't think he read it, because they address the issue about defining STEM workers, and despite his anecdotal evidence, they came to the conclusion that, yes, the STEM shortage is a m
