What is the alternative ? Building a nuclear power plant ? the same newspaper will come up with a story of how nuclear waste is going to kill babies with cancer. We need to calm.

Yes. H1B = EAD. My wife had h4 and she could not work. I was sponsored a green card and she got her EAD while I am still waiting for my PR.

Invisible hand is something I trust far more than anything else to guide the society. We need lot of teachers and nurses and that is possible only if they are cheap. If the teachers and nurses are expensive we will have few of them making e

I am not sure what that means. Politicians can suppress wages ? When have they done it in past ? Isn't the overwhelming support for illegal immigrants in USA from democratic party similar to what you are talking ? Why is that there is

H1B is a classic case of how legislators are far away from reality. Increasing minimum wage does not help it creates a bigger problem. A lot of smaller companies will happily show $100,000 salary to their employee while paying only $30,000.

USA does not have any visa that would help companies bring in outside talent at cheaper rate. Create that sort of visa first else H1B would always be a mess.

India. A hell lot of Indians (29K last year) come to USA for their Masters degree. These kids borrow loans from Indian banks at 10% to 12% APR do their M.S. and then pay that loan back quickly. Even though MS is significantly less risky you

The real lesson here is how inequality is part and parcel of world in which we live.

Yes this. The problem here is with the government instead of ITT in my opinion. If you are lending money to someone who is taking significantly more risk it is your fault if the person fails to pay it back and not of the consumer or the bus

Many Indian outsourcing companies do that as well. Employees can only access internet and few technical sites from their own computer but to access Gmail they have to login into a separate computer.

That is ancient Hindu knowledge too. It is called Bramha-Muhurta. I remember as a child my parents use to wake me up at 4 am to study.

Let us not allow facts to come between a good story that supports our agenda is more like it. Climate changes helps secure funding, support and clickbaits.

I personally think these are the cases of over-fitting. You can come up with a higher order polynomial that fits the observed noise but it comes at the cost of losing precision for the yet to be observed data. In case of government regulati

The best thing to do here is to accept the fact that some parents will take more risk and some kids will die every year because of that. We cant do a zilch about it besides charging the parents after the incident has happened.

If you ever see a kid alone outside the best course of action is to call cops. 1. If you try talking to kid while the kid is alone you might be charged as a sex offender, attempt to kidnap and what not. 2. If you dont try to help and if so

Bodies like CPS have to justify their existence and increase in budgets. If my job is to go to office everyday and find parents to arrest the best way is to lower the bar for "putting kids in danger". It is okay to send your kids

What if this frozen ice contains disease vectors still dormant and if we don't have immunity to them they might wipe out all life on earth.

May be it is the licensing requirement that is more ridiculous here.

Are there any puzzles that help you master "plausible deniability" much better ?

I am not sure what that quit rate really means seen in that isolation. What is the quit rate of women in other sectors ? What is the quit rate in high-tech in general ? All those questions are very important. My wife left her job after marr

If the human drivers become painpoint this innovation is going to go a lot faster. I think driver of the world can untie and pressurize the government to stop this innovation in infancy :P

I think his statements can be supported by data too. Look at the gender distribution for CS programs in top colleges. I think people who insist that 50% of developers should be women are nothing but sexist of high order who objectify as som

Since Chinese people are not the users of Facebook he should not hire any Chinese :D.

Facebook is significantly less white than US in general. Given that white people are over represented in occupations like programmers I would expect them be actually more white than USA. It appears that Facebook does not hire enough whites

"Deserve" is a pretty big word to use here. No country deserves anything. And also I am not sure why USA should give up anything because some other country feel entitled. Congo or Myanmar will not have much of a say in how interne

US might be becoming less and less free every passing year but is likely to remain far more freer than rest of world for years to come. I think this is bad idea. The rest of the world consists of China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, UK, Russia. I don

I am not sure what to make of Orwell's essay. I think it is a fight between people v/s government and who is a winner is not clear. In USA government has massively expanded in last 100 year under so many pretexts, Americans are si
