А у вас негров линчуют
multiply that 5 lines of code by all the possible algorithms they couldve asked about instead of this one. Thats what you need to know walking into the interview, seems kinda stupid
What am i getting out of 1x Genelec that I'm not able to get out of having 10x (!!!) Yamaha MSP7 studio monitors?
your images:
1. side by side your images might convince someone unwilling to give it a moment of deeper thought. in actuality, if you look into the articles, maddow's problem with Pat Smith's statements are that they were explicitly partisan and explicitly against the findings of the congressional committees investigating benghazi, including:
>“She deserves to be in stripes,” [Pat] Smith said of Clinton…. “I personally blame Hillary Clinton for the death of my son,” Smith said while fighting back tears.
It seems her biggest problem was that the GOP continues to bring up Benghazi, despite several congressional committees finding no evidence of wrongdoing.
I didnt pay attention much to benghazi, but your image elicits a much stronger sentiment of partisanship than exists between the two articles.
2. hillary wore white, melanie wore white. Two completely different authors took something different away from this, and wrote articles reflecting their opinions of the outfits. Both articles are from 'Style' or 'Fashion' writers and are in the appropriate category for that topic, neither appear to have been advertised as news of any kind. To claim this as an example of 'fake news' is plainly dishonest.
3. a tweet from AP's FactCheck service they were doing during the debates (no indication of how factual the statement was regarded in the screenshot) investigating Trumps statement that Assad is fighting ISIS. The other image is a tweet from AP quoting Assad a few weeks earlier saying he had taken Palmyra from ISIS. If you look at the AP fact check article, they rate Trumps statement as Partially True, noting:
> His overstretched military is mainly focused on combating Syrian opposition groups, some of which are supported by the United States. Assad does use air power against IS-held areas
4. An image of the wall street journal with two different headlines, claiming that the differing headlines were a result of buying them in 'different markets'
Newspapers often print update versions of their papers as events evolve. in this case, the headline 'Trump Softens His Tone' was an earlier edition of the paper, printed after Trumps visit with the Mexican President, but before Trumps return to the US and reaction to the Mexican President's Tweets that they will not pay for the wall; at which point Trump got tougher as a reaction to the tweets - no longer having a softened tone, the WSJ rightly updated the headline to better reflect the current reality of Trumps position.
5.I dont even know what this one is, its a bunch of pictures of the DailyMail and the NYPost, two notorious conspiracy rags - again completely dishonest to use something like this to paint real news sources as dishonest. The pictures are from Bush/Saddam goings on so they must be at least a decade old. (wouldnt it be trivial to find more modern examples of these two magazines lying?)
6. This is just meaningless screenshots with text that implies that the IC telling us that they have evidence of russia hacking the presidential election is equivalent to congress telling us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. There is no attempt to provide any evidence for this claim, but there is a quote from a Russian Foreign Affairs representative saying that Russia is sick of these claims that they interfered with the lection - very convincing.
7. This, again, simply makes the assertion that the media has lied without providing evidence of any kind. the text says:
>The Mainstream Media has been caught Lying to protect the government, lying about their sources credentials, lying to start foreign wars, and lying to start domestic wars. But please, tell me more about how bad 'Fake News' on the internet is.
Is this really it? This is the alt-rights argument that AP, Reuters, CNN, MSNBc, et al are fake news? because someone wrote it in meme font over an image?
because i think those are programs specifically for fresh grads - and 35+ year olds not fresh out of a bachelors program are not eligible for those hiring programs? honestly asking
>Are they less skilled and capable than a foreign worker? If so, then the foreign worker should get the job
Are you under the impression that organizations when hiring are looking to maximize skill and disregard all other factors?
once you reach 'good enough' skill level, its a cost minimization game.
If the American costs twice as much, but the foreign worker is good enough - who should get the job?
Tesla received a 465 million dollar /loan/ which they /paid back/
Oil receives billions in /Subsidies/ that they /do not pay back/
the only slight similarity is that the department of energy loan likely had favorable interest terms, but that would make the financial benefit to Tesla vastly less than 465 million dollars - their benefit would be the difference in total interest over the life of the DoE loan vs a market rate loan.
because they are unemployed.
Its interesting to see you assume so much about illegal immigrants, when you clearly dont have even a foundational understanding of their lives here or in mexico.
>they are unwilling to move to places where the jobs are.
How exactly would an unemployed person move? security deposit/down payment, moving costs, etc all cost real money, and without an income, I'm not sure how you would expect someone to move across the country.
Humans are on average risk averse - and certainly no one would advise someone to move out to california on their credit card, in hopes of immediately finding a well paying job.
Its not like someone who has been unemployed for two years is so attractive that theyd be getting offers with relocation included thrown at them.
Its an insult, not really hackernews quality, as almost all of this users comments in this thread have been an attack on someone. I dont know if this person had a bad day, or if they are always so unbearable and condescending.

We are here talking about changes to the H1B visa program which are intended to curb abuse/fraud of the program.
and you are here to talk only about a labor shortage in one industry?
You shouldnt, i later specified i was including CS grads - i was a CS major until i switched to MIS, so most of my college friends are from one of those two programs.
>(3) 12/ For purposes of section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1) , the term `specialty occupation' means an occupation that requires--
>(A) theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge; and
>(B) attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States.
So, since 'Entry Level' means someone without experience in the field - the H1B visa clearly does not apply to them.
are you serious?
You claim that H1B's:
1. can and should be used for entry level positions, because it is impossible to find entry level employees for programming
2. companies are completely unable to fill programming positions with US employees.
So lets investigate those claims then. Well, good place to start is probably looking at the top job titles of H1B visa holders.[1] Turns out the number 1 title by far, is 'Programmer Analyst' kinda vague, so lets try to dig in and see what that really is.
To do that, we can look for the top H1B visa employers[2] that appears to be Cognizant at 15,680 in 2015, followed by Infosys and TATA.
Well now that we know who the top employer of H1Bs is and what the top job title is, should be pretty easy to find an open position on their job board, right? Then we can look at the requirements for the 'Programmer Analyst' job and see what exactly is so specialized that no US college graduate is capable of accomplishing.
Weirdly, even though they filled over 33,000 of this job merely 2 years ago (an average of almost 100 jobs filled per day!) There is only 1 single job posting for a 'Programmer Analyst'[3]
Even weirder! the requirements for this job:
>Requirement: Basic computer knowledge, Good Communication skills and willing to work in night shifts
Well, that doesnt seem like such a demanding position to me....
Infosys had 0 job listings under that same title, TATA's careers site has no job listings at all[4]
But yeah, maybe you are right, maybe its just a coincidence that the top H1B job title has only 1 single listing across the top 3 H1B visa employers. Better keep letting them hire immigrants, since those stupid college grads 'cant code to save their lives' as you so put it.

I'm just gonna end it here, im not interested in having a discussion with you. Have a good one, hope your mood improves to the point where you aren't calling random strangers friends and family incompetent!
This is exactly why people are railing against H1Bs so hard. How can you even suggest that an h1b be used for an entry level job?
meanwhile record numbers of american college graduates are finding part time work at mcdonalds and starbucks.
Sure wish some of my friends and former classmates could get 60k/yr jobs, instead of 24 hrs/wk @ 8.25 an hour. But no, its because tech companies are literally unable to fill these positions! i swear!
>not because "all those indians steal our young grads jobs"
Yet we have record numbers of college graduates working at starbucks and other hourly employers.
Do you honestly believe that college graduates would rather work at starbucks or mcdonalds than a tech company doing IT?
you need to append "at the wage we are offering"
at 1 million per year, do you think there would still be a shortage? how about 500k?
Salaries are so bad in IT compared to development that I decided a couple months ago to start making the transition. I cant reasonably continue pursuing a career trajectory that i know will make me less money, and that is not valued by organizations.
add to this the demands for IT jobs:
certifications (costs hundreds of dollars per, need to refresh them every year or two)
experience with laundry lists of technologies (i.e cisco networking experience is apparently not valid if this employer uses juniper/pfsense/etc.)
probably the worst hours in the industry (yes devs get pagerduty, its not comparable)
compare that to:
literally no certification requirements (dont even need a high school diploma for many places)
much better hours
add to that substantially better pay, and its a real wonder why there is a 'shortage of candidates'
>Vigilante justice often describes the actions of a single person or group of people who claim to enforce the law but lack the legal authority to do so.
Right, but legally the only people responsible for investigating this person are the police and other lawful authorities.
enabling a vigilante justice system is exactly why anti-doxxing rules exist in the first place. do you not remember reddit after the boston bombing?
with a MOOC, there doesnt really exist the same social pressure to continue or excel.
Its been interesting to watch how various MOOCs have tried to recreate these pressures (due dates, courses separated into weeks, peer review assignments, teacher 'office hours' etc.) and while i think they've gotten a lot better than at the beginning, im not sure they will be able to fully replicate the pressures of having real people in the classroom with you, who will notice if you are gone for a week
its uncommon to say an entire organization is a cost/profit center; instead you would say x department is a cost/profit center.
FWIW, i believe most insurance companies make their money from investing the insurance premiums - i would say within an insurance company the finance department is likely the profit center, and whichever department handles payouts to healthcare providers would be seen as a cost center for the org.
oh it may be worth adding- most major US insurance companies are run as non-profit organizations.
Apple[1] reduced Tim Cooks bonus for failing to meet sales goals in the last quarter - thats a pretty good measure of how c
The statistics you provide are all too vague to reach any conclusions about the iphone 7, as they are about iOS or all iphones. The CNN article specifically notes that iphone sales have seen a decline in each of the last 3 quarters.
