Okay, first of all, this is clearly not news... it's from the freaking Daily Mail, as much a newspaper as the National Enquirer. Yeah, of course people *without* self driving cars who've never seen one before would be nervous. Also, people who've never seen a movie say they would have trouble sitting in a dark room for 2 hours. What is going on with Slashdot the last couple weeks? I used to come here for no-bullshit-tech-news, and now we have weird Hillary health posts, the pervious article about "Touch Disease" is total rubbish too. They seem to be going 50% total bullshit posts. I try and avoid HN, because of the comments section, but the editors here should just read over the entries there and copy the good ones. Here, let me do a quick look. 13 hours ago news that Tesla signed a massive contract with the California power grid. TECHNOLOGY NEWS! 3 hours ago Bash 4.4 released. TECHNOLOGY NEWS! 2 hours ago EU Court: Open WiFi Operator Not Liable for Pirate Users. TECHNOLOGY NEWS! Look, I like this place because there used to be good editorial insight into tech news and all the highlights were covered with little BS or outright bias or weirdness. It was never perfect, but damn it was better than other choices. But who the hell is the new editor? Did all the good ones leave? Is no one submitting decent news?

Like, delete this! This isn't news, it isn't true, it's clearly totally balls-out insane made up. What.

DEFINITELY. It's an L1. Disney's plans (while possibly evil) are to move the jobs overseas. They aren't "replacing them" in the US... they are having Infosys workers in India do the job. The workers are here very temporarily to learn the job, then go do it over in India. This article is insanely misleading. You absolutely, positively can't get an H1B for "cheap", let alone displace an American worker for it. I've hired two H1B workers in the past, and it was difficult as hell and they were my highest paid employees, by a big margin. Another misleading thing is that they say Infosys has "some of the most H1B's of any company"... and it mentions that it's about 1,000. That's because they have 176,000 employees! Some of the employees are so awesome that they can get transferred to the US under H1B... but those 176,000 workers in India are absolutely not all getting H1B's to do business consulting in the US. This is about offshoring.... which we can dislike! I mean, Disney was being real jerks here. I don't think anyone can directly say Disney is a lovable company, but to weirdly conflate H1B's with what happened with these layoffs is SUPER weird to me, and clearly pretty misleading.

whoops. wasn't logged in. this was mine.

Umm... you don't seem to understand what an H1B is. It's actually a very expensive employee. You can't pay less than $80k to an H1B, and usually I've had to pay $120k+. Like, it's not cheaper labor. It's usually smarter labor and all the talented, flexible, non-sociopathic programmers are currently employed.

Alright, so there is no "unlimited" data plan. You are right. What I meant to say is that we are assuming a reasonable data plan for users of high end devices. Personally, I'd say your comments have much more in common with the '640k' arguement, because mobile technology and bandwidth are moving fast... and we are attempting to build something to last more than a few years. At least with our personal mobile use, we don't worry too much about bandwidth, just load speed. And yes, we have no support for IE and because Microsoft has yet to respond to our requests for aid, the ball is in their court.

We are targeting users who most likely have unlimited bandwidth. That's who mostly would be using a site like this anyway. if you want a really small and efficient version, try the old WAP gateway at mobile.wikipedia.org
