Ok, I've seen this statement quite often from all these worker unions. Can someone point me to a source showing: 1.what fraction of the job market H1B workers took away? 2.among these jobs taken, how many were taken by H1B workers that

I get your sentiment, but being an expat does not automatically put you on the ban list unless you committed crime or previously had beef with the Chinese government.

I am Chinese and I can see how this can be exploited by both vigilente groups and the government to target individuals using the "spreading false information" clause alone. There are so many ways to trick people into spreading fal

This reminds me of an anime called Jormungand. Try to think the arm dealer Koko Hekmatyar as Pentagon and Dr.Miami as the SV companies. The end product they came up with seems like a wild fantasy for now but direction-wise it kind of makes

this kind of "tiger parents" attitude would not work in terms of educating kids on how to deal with problems brought by modern technology and internet/social media. 18 as an age should not be a free pass to things.

The system has been broken for a long while. A couple of years ago before I came to US as an undergrad, there were these test prep schools (e.g.New Oriental Education) in China that specialize in teaching students tricks about taking SAT te

Agree. I just don't really buy his "100% competitor focused" statement. Isn't Google X and moonshot projects serve as Google's innovation hub?

I recently attended a Joey Alexander concert at SFJazz and was amazed how mature his playing is at his current age, given my standard of 'good musician' is rather high as a professionally trained jazz musician myself. He started p

whenever I need to explain swing, I refer people to some Texas shuffle playing from SRV. Not jazz per se, but most of his blues rhythmic playing accentuates swinging quite a lot.

If someone is classically trained prior to studying jazz, 2 years is rather reasonable to pick up given they might already be well versed in basics such as proficiency in certain instrument(s), fundamental theories, sight reading, ear trai

my favorite part is how he explained harmony to the professional musician, very enlightening. I have been a big fan of his Youtube content and wish to see him live when he comes to my town.

Are you referring to atonal music using composition systems such as the Scheonerg method? In that case, even if most of it sounds dissonant, it's still composed through a systematic approach, meaning notes/harmony are carefully ch

hence it's important to have a good understanding of the chordal context when performing jazz. Outside notes that are too far away from the progression would likely be mistakes, but then there is this exception of atonal music. The mor

burst of ICO bubble likely won't take down the whole economy. BTC contracts are high return + extremely high risk, which are typical traits of junk bonds, meaning they won't be treated as investment-grade securities.
