I would suspect the best (proto) coders end up being employed by the (proto) business people. Internal vs external interests, Woz vs Steve. The money and the status-in-field really differ, though.

Kuwait seems to want to keep foreigners in. The US, however, wants to keep (or get) them out... So whatever brain drain that's going to occur, I guess, will be US-ians headed elsewhere. But, these are not proper US-ians so their los

Hopefully whoever’s sweeping people off the streets is careful - there’s a tremendous amount of biotech/pharma in San Diego and HN knows all about Silicon Valley. Damaging those two communities “to spite California” is going to do way

If this is done properly, the money has a 2x effect: creates jobs in the domestic defence industry, collects taxes from those jobs to spend elsewhere. And "stuff" is useful for both military and diplomatic purposes. Shoulder lau

It’s straightforward but tedious to switch countries, as there’s all sorts of paperwork that has to be completed correctly and various fees which add up. Easier if you secure employment before doing so unless you can write a big enough che

If they’re regurgitating what’s been learned, is there a risk of copyright/IP issues from whomever had the code used for training? Last time I checked, there’s a whole lotta lawyers in the us who’d like the business.

Isn’t just “it has to be cheaper from the us?”driving reindustrialization? If we assume that us based salaries and costs will be higher than foreign, there has to be government imposed penalties (tariffs) to provide breathing room for nati

How about people who burn wood or paper? Vehicles rolling coal? There’s a whole lot of processes that put particulates into the air - are these banned as well? Or is it just banning water vapour?

Most people find it difficult to bend reality to match their worldview. Doesn’t stop people from trying. The hope is that the number of people affected from these efforts is minimized.

It's probably one of the early editors, unless Ship of Theseus has kicked in to say the nth total rewrite makes it a different program. EMACS for sure, but given the strength of the editor religious wars, something earlier is out ther

Theoretical physics perhaps, but molecular biology or some other wet squishy science, no. Experiments can cost $$. This funding is for basic research and staff training, two things industry is allergic to.

Before going to secede, Alberta should do what Quebec has done and "practise" being a country: collect its own taxes, run its own police, run its own retirement system, control provincial immigration, ... This will give them a be

I can see multiple problems with providing state money to religious schools or agencies: (1) Why "their" religion but not "my" religion? (2) Once money is given, control will follow - and people don't want to see g

Because US-ians want to buy cheap sh*t in Walmart. On the whole, they seem to prefer cheap to durable/costs more. So USD flow to places with cheaper goods and then flow back as investments.

But who owns the copyright to changes, and how is it recorded? I just am suspicious as to what or how large companies who sell/rent software deal with open-source, free stuff...

IANAL, but how is this license different from, say, the older BSD license - thought that was "have fun, do what you want, post a notice"? It doesn't say anything regarding ownership of changes, nor how to add copyright for s

Check the license and its details. This might be great, or it might be MS looking to get free help. Especially with dev layoffs.

This takes a little bit of effort, but I’ve always preferred to listen to music in the order I want to. Sometimes, in the order than the artist wants me to. While streaming can help find new artists to listen to, storage is basically free.

Keep in mind that ancient times (60's and 70's) also saw save-somebody's-ass politics. There's been a strong undercurrent of (counter)culture on campuses since then. Perhaps that was always the case, as the students wou

What age ranges are you talking about? Assuming people go to college or university at 17-18, they can complete their teen years breaking free of childhood while learning adult skills. I did 8 years of that stuff back in ancient times, and
