null | VanshngMedtr | null | You are using anecdotal reasoning to predict the effect of a system wide change. I heard these same kind of bullshit arguments about me from Indian grad students when I was in grad school. They would make comments about how they though I got in just because I was local, how I didn't try as hard (I didn't have to), etc.
I would wait until the day before the project was due to do it, do it in like 30 minutes, and then find the professor's shit code didn't work on anything but the shit laptops given by the department to all the students on visas who graded papers to pay for their tuition. The professors also had a "do not deport" curve for all Indian students, at least one professor even admitted as much out loud in school. The professors also hated me because I would wreck the curve in advance classes like Formal Language Theory, Algorithms, and Topics in Computational theory. They then had to overtly cheat the grading system to keep the foreigners from being deported, which of course could get them in trouble if someone pointed out they were doing it.
They would then try to call me lazy. No, I am just several standard deviations above you in intelligence and skill. It doesn't take me a week to do that project.
So you can see anecdotal evidence can always go in both directions. What is important for determining the effect of a change on a system are stats. All the stats are in favor of US citizens over Indians. | null | 0 | 1491294858 | 1491295240 | 0 | dft3rns | t3_638rgm | null | null | t1_dfsf84c | null | 1493781371 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | slaymaker1907 | null | Not sure why you think python is very low level.
In any case, the biggest bonus with python for me is how straight forward everything is from top to bottom. It feels like it takes hours to set up a JavaScript project with npm correctly, yet python is dead simply. Just slap in a requirements.txt with maybe a virtual environment if you're being really fancy. Plus, that requirements.txt often has just a couple lines since python takes the reasonable approach that libraries should be LIBRARIES i.e. a collection of something, not one solitary thing.
Not only is it easy to set up python, well written python libraries are generally also very simple to use. requests is a library that other languages have now since emulated because it is so incredibly easy to get going http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/. For another example of a fantastic library, look at skikit-learn. I would argue that there is no machine learning library that has so many tools available and that is so easy to use.
Python is not the best language for everything, but it is hands down the best language for writing short scripts that require mashing together a bunch of other tools.

There was a huge push to outsource to foreign countries ten years ago, and it basically failed.
The thing is, there's never really been anything stopping them from outsourcing. Even with a broken H1B system, relocating a foreign worker to a country with a higher cost-of-living is operationally more expensive than sending the work to them. And it's the same with work-from-home - on paper, W4H is cheaper, since it drops a bunch of expenses on amenities.
So why haven't they done it already? Because managing remote workers is an almighty pain. There's a *lot* of managerial work that hasn't or can't be pushed into the cloud. We technical workers want to stop worrying about things like hardware; and by the same token, managers want to stop worrying about workers. But unlike us, they're nowhere near accomplishing that. Unless and until management have their own cloud revolution and/or fix the problems with managing remote workers, it's going to flop just as much as it did last time.

Not necessarily: there's the issue with latency fairness. Say a player who issued a 1-shot kill is 1/2 second behind everyone else, and everyone else disagrees the shot was successful. If they just order actions w.r.t. time, this player will repeatedly generate conflicts where almost everyone disagrees, and might have an actual advantage is lag compensation is used (since lag compensated behavior is usually simpler than human). With a central server you just order state changes as they arrive.
Even that resolved, to minimize latency/bandwidth from users you need to use some nodes as routers. I imagine common PCs add quite a bit of latency, probably negating minimal gains from having a direct connection between players.
Not that I find this system unattractive, quite the contrary, but there are clear weaknesses. I wonder how far it can be scaled up, is 12 players the maximum or could you say have 50, or even 100s of players in an mmo? The fact that their games cost money (so a ban from cheating costs money), have a reputation system (cheating if it occurs would be confined to lower ranks), and still use servers for some things (storing player reputation) makes their life a lot easier. | null | 0 | 1491296329 | 1491298501 | 0 | dft48ju | t3_62yl50 | null | null | t1_dfsr48r | null | 1493781598 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | Kinglink | null | So this isn't totally accurate, but I kind of wish it was... at least to an extent. As many people have pointed out, there's a lot of bullshit in hiring people which allows companies to hire foreigners while not making a good faith effort to hire an american, because they can get a foreigner cheaper.
But you know what. I've learned if you're a good programmer, you can learn a new language and develop new talents. In reality I'd like to see these companies ACTUALLY developing American professionals rather than rushing off for a H-1B visa because of cost of hiring.
The fact is it's the same problem I have with the restaurant industry. If we artificially deflate the price of doing business in this industry by ignoring undocumented immigrants, or hiring foreigners instead of Americans, perhaps the industry must die or change. I don't think either industry has to die, but American companies shouldn't try to hire H-1B workers as a goal or a first attempt.
And the fact is most Tech companies who want to hire a H-1B worker ARE able to find that worker in America... they just don't want to. | null | 0 | 1491298212 | 1491298414 | 0 | dft4tfq | t3_637m7q | null | null | t3_637m7q | null | 1493781877 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | imhotap | null | What's the point of a rant like this? That we should go commit suicide or give up using computers alltogether? *If* something is broken, the question is what to do about it, or more importantly, *who* should do something about it. This line of thought might bring more effective liability laws for service providers.
Another line of thought might be to re-consider the license to choose for open source software. Specifically, if you start a project under a liberal license that service providers and other third parties might like to leverage, this sets you up to basically no funding for ongoing maintenance (so that if your software has any success, initiatives such as Google's Project Zero have to clean up your mess). I'm questioning the notion that the existence of F/OSS *per se* is a win for humanity or something; if it were, we wouldn't be enslaved by centralized/monopolized "clouds" running Linux, and by a Linux operating system chock full of spyware called Android.
For me, an important way out of the dilemma is to go one step back, and once again only use communication software that implements a published standard (such as web, mail, etc.) so that you have a choice in implementations (F/OSS or otherwise). | null | 0 | 1491298374 | 1491301826 | 0 | dft4v90 | t3_63auwj | null | null | t3_63auwj | null | 1493781902 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
