Such a rule can have the opposite effect though, a company may choose to hire/grow more conservatively if it is subject to a condition that it cannot layoff.

The comparison does not seem to be apples to apples. The perf gain seems to come from bundling the fork and exec call allowing the kernel to do vfork like optimizations. I think a fair comparison would be against a new sys call that does fork_exec vs io_uring_spawn, and not fork + exec vs io_uring_spawn.

This seems to be the number of Americans with a criminal record and not a criminal conviction (someone who was found to be innocent would also be included in this number). I can't seem to find the number of Americans with a conviction though.

This is misleading though, because a majority of H1b applications are renewals (so folks already on an H1b), not new applications. On top of that, most renewals happen to be Indian Nationals because they have no pathway to obtain permanent residency in many cases.

Also how does a higher rejection rate lead to brain gain? I'd imagine it discourages a would be immigrant.

Can you cite links that support your assertion that there were fewer fraudulent H1B applications?

I wouldn't take that for granted at all, the last 4 years will definitely have a lasting impact on any brain gain the US might've had.

Perhaps they can replace the image with an obviously wrong image (and smaller in size), and then wait for someone to complain

+1 I can’t find a source for this. There are some tweets referencing this, but no official data.

Thank you for this comment, it made my day. I usually see posts wanting skilled immigrants out. The last few months have been especially bad due to the various policies that have been adopted.

Because they still want to hire lots of Americans. They just don't want to pay them market prices. So they bring in H1-Bs to lower wages. If they hired them overseas, there wouldn't be that effect:

Wow, it takes skill to come up with an argument like that. How do you imagine this conversation happens at MegaCorp_0 between HR and a Hiring manager?

HR: “I know you need someone who has Skill_0, but we want to reduce wages so it has to be a h1b...”

Manager: “But I already have Candidate_0..”

HR: “Nope has to be h1b!”

Sure, but the borders of a nation seem more arbitrary than a species as a grouping.

Why so selfish? We are one species.

Its still better than using the place of birth as a determining factor.

That actually carries over to most levels of management at Apple, the Managers are just really good Engineers with a few extra scheduling skills..

This is interesting, because I thought Symantec was the incorruptible AV co.

Virtual Machines and Windows Server.

I'm currently a CS student at a top tier university, and I can assure you that the tide is changing, half the class is female, and a most new research (at least undergraduate) has quite a good balance in terms of representation. Give it 20 or so years :)

Honestly, it just sounded like a harmless joke directed at bankers on someone's blog :)

I found the github repo, you can compile the LaTeX to any format https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/thebookofshaders.git http://patriciogonzalezvivo.com/2015/thebookofshaders/92/

This is awesome! As someone who just spent a ton of time navigating a patchwork of information about GLSL, this looks like an oasis :) (I can't seem to access all the chapters though, I guess its a work in progress).

I have to honestly say that mozilla's recruitment process is among the worst that I have come across, which was really surprising to me, the recruiters do not seem to care about past open source contributions and radio silence is common, I wish it were easier to apply.

An N900 <sigh> What a shame Nokia couldn't continue that legacy.. I just can't seem to find the desire to move on from mine..

I am just curious, why can't there be an online service which does Random Number Generation, that should free up this dependency right? I understand there would be trust issues etc, but I am sure well defined contracts and code transparency coupled with open hardware can solve that?

Actually I am worried about Snowden's fate, because that will determine if there will be future whistleblowers or not. There can always be secrets, even now the NSA can just say "ok guys, we are winding all this down", while actually it continues in secret.
