> Department of Labor can crack down on the company for not paying the "prevailing" wage. That is technically true, but effectively impossible. The DoL simply does not pursue H1B a…

The L1 visa program forbids placing the employee at a third party site as part of a labor arrangement. Thus the L1 visa is not applicable to this sort of "training." I'm sure plent…

Your point can not be emphasized enough. In 2012, all 10 of the top 10 H1B employers were offshore outsourcing companies. http://www.epi.org/blog/top-10-h1b-guestworker-offshore-ou…

They know it's wrong (by societies/normal people's) standards, but it doesn't violate their own. Tou keep saying that, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Thanks, but I think I will take it as a sign that I should just move on to some other site. The internet is a big place.

You are the second person to bring up sociopaths as if they don't match the definition of evil I wrote above. The thing is, they are the very personification of lacking empathy. Th…

imagine that as an engineer on any secret NSA project, being shown real information regarding atrocities that have never been publicised and knowing that you can help to make the w…

with that much information, people will simply not care what everyone else is doing. part of what makes "private" information interesting is its rarity. That's basically Brin's the…

Where do you find that? Is there some sort of recourse?

I don't think NSA people are evil. They believe that the things they do are for good. Evil like in the movies doesn't exist. In the real-world evil is simply a lack of perspective …

I completely agree. I am really tired of that Brin story being constantly cited by people without thinking through the consequences - of which there are many. One of the biggest is…

There was a shooting at LA just weeks ago. You mean Paul Anthony Ciancia who was pissed off about all the excessive security and deliberately targeted TSA agents hoping to commit s…

Yeah, that poll is the one anomaly. Go to your profile and set "showdead" to yes, I think that will let you see all [dead] posts and submissions.

I just looked at your submission history again and even the most recent one "Game industry of Finland" on slideshare is marked [dead]. Looking back through your history, the last 1…

For anyone who doesn't already know or wouldn't be willing to spend the $100 for Global Entry + PreCheck These programs are the ultimate sign of just how pointless airport security…

An attack on an airplane is simply too challenging for the vast majority of people to execute. Is it impossible? No, but almost nothing is impossible. I don't think you are making …

--off topic I see that all of your HN story submissions are marked [dead] as soon as you submit them. Do you know why that is happening to you? It started happening to me a couple …

You left out the biggest problem with the Post Office - it is often closed when you have the free time to go there. I've been using private mailbox services for nearly 2 decades no…

Nothing is secure from the start. Everything has bugs. Sure, all aspects of programming are subject to bugs. My concern with the site is an apparent lack of design for security. Ad…

I don't see "having the crap beat out it in production" as a good strategy here Absolutely. The people who will pay the price for that design philosophy are not the ones making the…

Yep. Hence the constant stream of security issues.

I don't have the reference handy, but I recall an article from this past Summer that said the designers of the site had put security on the back-burner. Their plan was to get the s…
