You have a point.

In addition, many tech companies likes to hire H1B workers because they hire them as consultants which means no vacation time, sick time, health insurance, 401K, etc. Also, their visa status are tied to the employers so they are going nowhere—no job hopping every two years for higher pay. The H1B system is almost indentured servitude in many ways.

Most likely, and this is a bit cynical, the people that own or control Cloudera are foreign born and are trying to help their own ethnic group at the exclusion of Americans.

You are missing the point. It's not about god per say. It's about Christian spirituality (e.g moving from selfishness toward love and service, ethics, morality, humanism, etc.)

Even so, it will take a long time to download 10 PETABYTES of data. For example, if they downloaded the data at 1 Gbps (this is about standard for a business internet connection) or 125 MB/s, it will take over 2 years to download 10 petabytes—assuming there is no lag, latency or throttling. If they download it at 10Gbps it takes around 3 months. Downloading at 1 Gbps and higher will be noticed, so; I am skeptical that they were able to download 10 petabytes of data. But you never know.

What shit life choices leads to breast cancer, brain tumor, most cancers or illness? Think and reflect before you write that nonsense.

But do you trust that Firefox is not sending the data to a third party to train the AI?

The response is based on a survey of employees so there is nothing wrong with this statement "individual employees surveyed saw a 0.5% increase in employment." Meaning that employees believe that AI resulted in a slight increase in employment. Which is unexpected.

Actually, plumbing requires a lot of bending, stooping, contorting your body in tight spaces, putting elbow grease in loosening nuts, bolts, tight fitting pipes, etc. Over time your joints will feel it (back problems, shoulder problems, knee problems). It's why you normally see a 50 year old plumber with a 20 something year old junior plumber. Plumbing is physically demanding as you get older.

Yep. Banks will respond by cancelling some cards, denying others and lowering the current balance for a bunch of card holders.

California had very strident drug laws. As the DA she didn't have much latitude when it came to drug offensives.

The difference is they are OUR companies working with OUR military. China is OUR adversary in every space. What is there to understand?

How in the world is Huawei going to succeed in creating a viable mobile platform when Samsung, Microsoft, Amazon and others have failed? Heck, China could force every mobile device sold in China to include Huawei OS and it still wouldn't matter much to Android market share. Game over for Huawei plans on being the largest mobile device manufacturer.

Even code monkey jobs pays well. At least better than the average salary. Hell with 2 years experience as a code monkey under your belt, you can leverage this into a much better IT position somewhere.

The technology wasn't ready then. The technology is currently available for this to take off. With Google resources behind it this can succeed. Steam technology is different from what Google is doing. With Steam game platform--the game is rendered client side (as all games currently do) with information about the player movements, location, where the player is facing, etc sent server side. Because of this the player computer hardware is critical to game enjoyment and success against other players in multiplayer fps games. I play a lot of multiplayer online fps games, and my experience is that players with the best (most expensive) computer systems are the best players. They are the best players because their hardware gives them a decidedly edge. Google platform will get rid of that advantage enjoyed by players who are willing to shell out 2+ grand for a gaming rig. Also, it's going to be harder to cheat on Google platform and that is worth its price in gold.Believe me, I've been online gaming for 17 years and in that time many gamers wished for the games to be rendered server side so as to neutralize cheaters.
