I am aware of domain applications from F@H, but not core science work. What are those fundamental contributions?

I know of the famous people that work there, and I don't have anything personal against them. My comment was more directed towards the company. I can't support the way Google and other data mining companies operate. Its such a was

I don't mind admitting Google employs people far smarter than I will ever be, but they're creating and maintaining the largest global spying apparatus in history. Maybe we should be learning from people who're actually making

>"Earning a ton of money" is not exactly a well defined company goal. Well, okay, but you'll have to agree that at-least it is easy to quantify, "Good design" OTOH isn't, but again I'm not a designer so

I am not a designer, so I take a more pragmatic view. If the intent is to earn money through your website and you are earning a ton of it, then you've succeeded. It doesn't matter if an outsider considers it good or bad design. Bu

> I don’t begrudge any American who wants a country of their own, just like Indians and Bangladeshis do. Anyone who is a citizen is already an American. Or do you mean only white Americans are "real" Americans?

The US is hypocritical (most countries are) and meddles with the internal affairs of other countries. Expecting the world to care about US sovereignty is only going to get a few chuckles, nothing more. Certainly no country is in the positio

>But thanks to immigration, white Americans practically already are [1], yet it is they that are called xenophobic Why does it matter if a particular race is the majority or minority of citizens? What concerns do you have about it?

by passivate 4y ago
In this context of legal immigration, the point here isn't about sovereignty. It's simply documenting one persons experience - I don't see it as a call for open borders. Also, does the US recognize a country's sovereignt

Actually, in-house IT is going away. I've seen many companies switching to a hybrid format with a skeleton IT crew and larger external managed service providers providing IT services. And many managed service providers do have a glob

With remote work and easier access to the global talent pool, these salaries are bound to normalize across the board. Enjoy the ride while you can, my friends! :)

by passivate 4y ago
With the recent emphasis on remote work, you can hire from the global talent pool. The US labor market is indeed very expensive.

Can you expand on that? What has it to do with racism?

Is there any precedent on that?

I think its just a legal thing. You don't want "Google says ___" headlines based on internet comments from employees. In any case, if I was a Google employee, I'd want to hide the fact.

Its my own ignorance, but can you please link to data showing effectiveness?

by passivate 4y ago
The best proof of any kind of methodology is in its application and results. I'd be impressed if some data were to be presented showing its effectiveness.

You're right it wouldn't matter. I think I had a brain fart here. What I wanted to say was the thing with 'everybody has a point of view' is that not all points of view are equally represented in the population. I'm

>What works for you may not be what works for everybody, and that's the point. Instead of making it personal, lets make it general. According to you how many people have a problem working in the office for the reasons you listed?

To make it more general, non-autistic people also sometimes have trouble with body language. The non-controversial point is most humans fall somewhere on the spectrum where they're able to read others' body language - with a minor
