I am not purporting that the H-1B program has no effect on tech wages, just that it has a negligible effect due to its small cap relative to the number of tech jobs available.
Any increase in labor supply would have some effect on the wage level in an industry.
The US creates several million new jobs each year on average, and the H-1B cap is 85K, which is an order of magnitude less than the number of jobs created per year. In order for the H-1B program to meaningfully impact the US labor market, the H-1B cap needs to be increased significantly.
Maybe I'm an idiot but my curiosity got the best of me and I clicked the link. The photos just look like abstract modern art, although their perceptual hash may match that of known CSAM, I doubt that anyone who clicked the link will get into legal trouble even if Google flags that folder by detecting a perceptual hash match, as they will likely use real people to verify before taking legal action.
Google has been recently focused on cultivating the image that they care about user privacy. The last thing they want to do is call the cops on a bunch of HN users for looking at some abstract swirly pics.
Cool stuff! What are some great use cases that you'd like to see for 3D websites? Do the long load times of 3D websites relative to 2D ones affect search ranking?
Should there be a way to trademark your own name in order to prevent its misuse in creative works? That way, film studios should have to pay a licensing fee to have your name anywhere in the film or its marketing material.
It's strange to think that fictional characters often have more protection and control over the use of their name than real people.
Hades definitely has more interesting game mechanics, but it's more of a Roguelike ARPG than a classic ARPG.
I also find its enemy design and atmosphere lacking in consistency and quality. It just doesn't have the dark, dangerous, and foreboding feel that Diablo 1 and 2 have mastered.
My point in bringing up the light meter is that in these "tree falls in the forest" thought experiments, it's taken for granted that your own biological senses are an absolute source of truth.
But your eyes are just another set of equipment, similar to a light meter. Just because your eyes are attached to the rest of your body, it doesn't make them inherently more trustworthy than equipment that's not part of your body.
Fair enough. By calling my comment uninteresting, have you also rendered yourself to likely be the most uninteresting person in the room, by the logic in your first paragraph? If so, who wins the title of the most uninteresting person in the room?
My undergrad major had a 50/50 gender ratio and there were only a handful of romantic relationships to come out of it out of the hundreds of classmates I knew. So, I wouldn't count on finding your S/O in your university program. There are plenty of other opportunities to meet a potential S/O in college, like clubs and house parties.
