i don't care about popular. i care about truth.

troll huh?

- support for israel at the expense of palestenians
- support for dictators of the middle east
- US military outposts scattered over the middle east
- popularity of western culture in the middle east
- not too long ago the whole middle east was colonized!
these are just the major points

my point is the projection of influence and power is basically one way from the West (US) -> middle east. the suggestion that muslims are the ones changing the West is ludicrous compared to this.

uhh did you know that the West has, and in particularly the US, has imposed itself on uhh basically all the middle east???

there's a difference between being critical and hurling insults.

NO IT"S NOT! we're talking about image processing and classification here!

divide those numbers by speed to get a fairer comparison.

well then, hand over the green cards which would allow them to settle in the US and demand treatment just like citizens. oh right those are only for relatives of people already in the US..more than a million of them each year. yea they don't take jobs.

you put an 8.5x11 sht of paper on your desk. when you work you have a few sheets *side by side*.

you missed the point. you can adjust your application window to any aspect ratio and size. i'm just saying that a big 4k monitor gives you more choice in that adjustment. it's like putting a 16:10 picture on a wall. do you care about the aspect ration of the wall?

by ready i mean they should have the following:

- about $500

- IPS

- hdmi2

now, they don't.

with 4k monitors you're going to have alot of vertical pixels. so you could just buy a big 4k monitor and just have a tall window for your text-heavy applications. one big 4k monitor is going to have functionality similar to having multiple "HD" (1920x1080) monitors.

but 4k monitors aren't ready yet..may take a year or two. in the mean time I have an asus PA248 which gives a bit more veritical space (1920x1200). i can flip it but it becomes too tall (physically) for normal desktop use. i also have a flipped "HD" monitor and alot of times it's not wide enough for some websites.

waa waaa NO H1Bs! they are cheap labor! AMERICANS FIRST!! waa waaa exploiting children! code academies suck! it makes for cheap labor!

waaa waaa.. i'm smart and i don't want anyone else to be as smart as i am!

seriously, i've been on /. for more than a decade. this is pretty low!

respect for C++ but, for me, the middle ground is Python for the high-level stuff, plus calling C from Python for low-level stuff. I'm in "analytics" so this is perfection to me. We don't need all that C++ stuff.

got family in the US to sponsor your green card? WELCOME! you have a right to everything including social security. you can flip burgers or work for nasa..we don't care. and you can get your citizenship in just a few years.

got skills? advanced stem degrees from the US? indentured servitude visa for you...maybe! green card is a dream. you must be employed in this specific thing or else! YOU MUST COMPLY! YOU ARE A FOREIGNER! YOU WILL BE A FOREIGNER FOR A DECADE! GET USED TO IT OR GO BACK HOME!

if you are lucky enough to get the capped h1b visas, once you get it you can get another employer to petition for another h1b while you are in the country so in that sense it is "transferable". however, the tie is established if the employee wants to get a green card. they have to do it through A (1) employer...which can take years. a decade is not unheard of. if the employees goes to another employer, he/she has to start over.
