You make a good point. I did not say that we should solve all problems via immigration. There are classes of problems that immigrants can’t solve. I’m just saying we should prioritize those problems above such problems. Examples include, re

Instead of building robots, perhaps we should allow low cost care workers to help immobile people. These care workers can be sourced locally or abroad (immigrants). Boom. You've just lifted someone out of poverty and helped an immobile

H1B for outsourcing companies has created massive arbitrage opportunities for American companies (primary non-tech). They find it cheaper to off shore their IT operations. H1B has a lot of "loop holes" that benefit employers. They

> ...Fired the IT staff and outsourced to India... Are you asserting that the breach would not have happened if the IT operations were in-house? Could you also clarify why did you feel it necessary to qualify the location of outsourcing?

Its not just Chinese. Same applies for restaurants / local fast food places in India. They're lightning fast. If you're used to the pace of service in US, your mind will be blown when you travel to Asia.

If you think assigning work is leadership, then I think you should step away. Leadership is about inspiring people to follow you. The best leaders let people self-organize. They coach them but not `assign' them work.

Having booked travel through Expedia several times recently, I can confidently say that Expedia has not fixed its top issue for calling them - "To get a copy of their itinerary." Their system is buggy at best. The funny thing was

The AutoPilot is marketed as a safety feature like your link asserts. The issue though is that Tesla's software defect(s) is what killed him. NTSB would be investigating Toyota if their hardware or software defect(s) would've kill

Unless they redesign the airframe, I don't think there is any way of fixing the aircraft. One of the requirements ought to be that the aircraft is capable of gliding when it loses power. Given that its airframe is unbalanced it will ha
