The comments on the internet suggest this. The number of people signing up to be drivers suggests otherwise.

The real pity is, I believe allowing this type of immigration would actually create more jobs than it would displace.

Uber, for example, has more operational employees than engineers, and creates many more jobs for drivers.

These are the jobs of the next generation, and if they aren't created here, they'll simply be created elsewhere. So even if you buy the fundamental assertion of the anti immigration argument, I still consider it deeply flawed.

Of course, major lobbying industries probably would be displaced with a stronger tech industry. I wonder if this is a factor in the current immigration climate?

I'm on that as well, but last I checked it wasn't available anymore.

Anybody have any reference to language docs?

I still think this is an abuse of down-vote priviledges... downvote should be used to bury non-constructive comments, not express disagreement with a point or behavior. (That's what comments are for.)

Technically, quantum refers to physics at the atomic / subatomic scale, and not necessarily to the spooky effects like particle wave duality and such that we usually attribute to the term.

So, I believe this would be an "effect on the quantum level," even if it can be understood through the lens of more traditional electromagnetic physics as well.

Don't work for a startup. At least, not as a "developer for hire" to work on whatever they need.

In my experience (albeit in U.S./ USD), those rates come to people with solid programming reputation, IN ADDITION TO a deep domain knowledge in a market with a lot of money.

(knowledge of the finance world like HFT algorithms, marketing skills like conversion optimization, high security clearance, etc.)

I hate this about myself. =P

Take a look at DuckDuckGo (if you prefer independent entrepreneurial upstart) or Bing (if you prefer massive well funded corporate competitor) to see what getting in the ring with Google looks like.

Bad developers do have that power. But best practice is to use a SyncAdapter, which works very similarly.

Actually, one of the biggest savings comes from apps all syncing at about the same time... firing up the cell modem is expensive, cheaper to do a bunch of transfers at once than spread out over time.

Android has had "Sync Adapters" since the beginning, a very cool and powerful framework that allows apps to piggy back off each other's data connections, reducing the number of times the cell modem needs to be fired up for background fetches.

Not a new concept, I'm sure the patent battle lines are already well drawn.

Actually, only a supernova or equivalent energy magnitude event.

Fusion only releases energy up to iron. Creating heavier elements consume energy in the reaction rather than releasing it, therefore cannot sustain a reaction.

I'm pretty sure you didn't actually read most of this article.
