Article from 2009 http://www.news.com.au/technology/german-teen-shouryya-ray-solves-300-year-old-mathematical-riddle-posed-by-sir-isaac-newton/story-e6frfro0-1226368490157#ixzz1w3LI5N1w' Bernoulli numbers solved by a 16 year-old. In this case an immigrant from Iraq living in Sweden. Bernoulli instead of Newton. But essential the same story.

I'm betting neither of these two ever read it.

IT work already has a terrible education:pay ratio and the pay is nothing special in relative terms, that's a strange sector to target...could it have something to do with outsourcing?

Yes.

Biggest change appears to be (17)(C). If I'm reading it correctly the old text was incorparted into paragraph (17) and replaced so those directing, training, or leading others doing such IT work will also be included in this group.

I read this as: 'if you are a non-exempt employee outsourcing your work, and your compensation is over $27.63 and hour, you will become an exempt employee if the law passes'

Eliminating overtime for those who out-sourcing IT work, and not actually do it such work, is not a bad thing.

"It's so ... black!" said Ford Prefect. "You can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it.

"If you fire them all, you'll replace them with people who live and work in another country"

Or maybe you can hire back those "encouraged" to quit to bring in H1B workers.

In my case a new VP from Accenture back in 2007 and declared she was going to remove at least 3 S/W developer positions. Said it would only occur through attrition. But her idea of attrition was to bad mouth work done by current employees. How do you respond when you're told your work is not acceptable because it is "not secure since it uses SQL"?

Ended up she didn't remove the positions, just the developers. After two left she brought in students on H1B visas. Now I find she's a general member of CRITO at UC Irvine.

Coincidence ya think?

"I would advise students to pay more attention to the fundamental ideas rather than the latest technology. The technology will be out-of-date before they graduate. Fundamental ideas never get out of date." -- David Parnas However, people doing the hiring are only concerned with the latest fashion. So what are you going to do?

Being unmanned is one big difference. Local police want aerial drones too. But FAA has been saying no.

They were able to keep #6 in the village so they should be good at collecting the space junk.
