Awesome. Please keep developing this. Weird nit : I couldn't pass underneath the walkways on Webster and Geary in Japantown

This was my first thought too!

Is there something like pg_query for Oracle ? I want to use it for making AST's out of Oracle SQL queries

I just tried this out on a bunch of log files that were lying around. Excellent! I would love to connect this to a SQL database through ODBC/ JDBC and ask questions about the data. Does anyone have a tool that they use already for this usecase ?

I second the podcast recommendation. Empire pod has been truly worth every bit of the time. I am currently on the episode about History of coffee - ethiopia, ottoman turks etc.

I have been working in Erlang for almost 5 years now. I want to add my experience as anecdote. I joined the current company because it was solving an interesting problem and just happened to use Erlang. I didn't self select for curiosity or learning a new language. Erlang was the tool available to me do the work that I wanted to do.

Cheers to all you Basho/Riak folks. I have worked with one before!

Someone somewhere is already working on naming their project Lehsun.. /s

You should not take every immigrant. Take immigrants who bring their skills and productivity to you. Don't make their lives difficult with unnecessary hoops to jump through. Skilled immigration is not asylum or illegal immigration.

I think it is more about leaving their comfort zones. One might have to move out of their towns / states to access resources that the US has to offer. Dozens of US states offers so much support to their students studying STEM. You can defer education loan payments. There is so much federal aid. There are dirt cheap colleges if you want to get vocational education and start working quickly. But all of these are not available in one city. They are spread across the nation.

Globalization is a two way street. If you want the best of what the world has to offer, the best of what the world has to offer will arrive at your doorstep. That includes human resources.

This "unlimited number" argument is a common dog whistle. If the Dept of Labor is certifying each one of the qualified immigrants and vetting the credentials, how is this unlimited?

Sorry. This does not seem like an odd retort to me. Just because you are opposed to the general idea does not make it easy :)

From your comments, it seems like you have little exposure to the actual time and effort spent in the patent process. And that is okay!

Short Answer : New steel is coming from overseas.

I think regions / steel industries in the region go through phases. I can draw upon my experience with one of the biggest steel manufacturers in India and Europe. SE Asia is going through a phase where most of the steel consumption is met by primary steel, new steel made from blast furnaces consuming iron ore. A lot of that steel is exported but there is a very big domestic market.

The need for secondary steel (made from old steel scraps) will become important in the future for SE Asia. Back in the US, this is already the case.

Primary and Secondary steel have different properties. Secondary steel can not be used for some applications, they can only use Primary. Vice versa, using primary steel for some applications might not be economically feasible for some applications.

Most wholesome thread on HN in recent memory.
