Yes, at least the H-1B does prohibit earning income from any other 'projects' other than your sponsored job, with the exception of capital gains/interest from holding assets.

This is certainly intriguing. .NET has moved steadily in the opposite direction with Linq-to-Sql classes, followed by the Entity Framework which is now the default. I wasn't even aware that this school of thought advocating the opposit

Restriction of freedom is too easy to these people. This is why there's a general angst among libertarians. Any and every problem is to be solved by legislation, filled in by a regulatory agency. Sorry if you're more offended by t

This reminds me of William Hertling's 'AI Apocalypse' trilogy, specifically the last book 'The Last Firewall' where brain implants enabled depth-specific metadata info on everyone in vicinity.

Not sure if trolling. I use NJTransit on a daily 2 hour commute. The main problem with NJTransit is that the ride home is almost never on time. 90% of the time, it's 5-10 mins late. But I can count on one hand how many times the mornin

Sure but calling this 'shutout' is pretty abusive of language to me. Is Chrome shut out of modern macs? Safari does come bundled after all. And I don't consider the DoJ case to have any merit so there's no authority in i

Personal Cloud, perhaps, will be the answer. No real vendors for that yet though. Urbit maybe but that has a year or so to go before it becomes usable.

False dichotomy. Both are astroturf.

Bravo. The absurdity of some of the highest paid people in the world calling for a revolution is really comical to an immigrant like me. Not to say that the collusion was not despicable.

Er yeah. The 'people' i.e. astroturfed left-wing activists are protesting the employees, not the CEOs.

This is why, as bad as this scandal is, I'm thoroughly opposed to 'professionalization,' and unions in software. Keeping the barriers to entry low is our best bet across the industry. As someone mentioned, a few major SV comp

Infact his goal is to alienate readers like the commenter above by writing in the old literary style. We are so accustomed to modern non-fiction following Malcolm Gladwell like structure for 10 year olds that we've lost the art of appr

This is what I get too. I've read all his books except the technical one (Dynamic Hedging) and this conclusion of 'nonsense' about a pretty clearly written paragraph is baffling. I too read the paragraph and came to the concl

Exactly. I'm astounded that this basic fact - that financial modelers have been using the wrong distribution for decades IS NOT BEING DENOUNCED. For example, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) which assumes that returns fall on a

Why this attitude? Simply because it's 'insulting'? Is it true? Should you not be far more concerned if it's true? That lots of scientists are misusing statistical tools? What does it say about you that you are posting a

Yeah a polyglot who writes classical Greek, Arabic, French, English and can do advanced statistical modeling is clearly an idiot right?

I don't think too many people prefer the concrete-and-wall environs of HK compared to the Victorian promenades of SF. However, we are all constrained by reality and scarcity. There is scarcity of space in SF. It must be alleviated by e

Sure, I don't think there are many either. But this instance should remove the attraction and 'cool' factor of SJWs in SV.

Delicious! Social justice rhetoric comes back to bite the SV hipsters. I hope the non SJ warriors among the techies pay attention to this demonstration of how the left wing hate machine works. Savor your own denunciation as lackeys of Koch
