I have always thought of it like this: U.S. citizens have the right to marry and bring home anyone they want. It is not about the immigrant. For example, if you're stationed on a military base on Japan or Germany, you…
It is counter-intuitive that the more accomplished you are, the more evidence you need to provide. The part about the child not getting a naturalization certificate even though they are naturalized is very weird -- that…
The computer science that matters the most today —- machine learning, vision, NLP —- is open access without the fees because the main confs are not ACM. (Vision has some in IEEE.) I guess the ACM fees are paying for…
Surprising it is necessary, given no such fees for machine learning and associated areas. (Which are all not ACM.)
More money, more income. That's why flood of foreign money is good for a university. But, it is a fallacy to think that this has no cost. In my experience, the large influx of foreign students are typically at the…
Exactly the same.
I don’t understand why we cannot just blacklist these consulting companies as a first step. The 100K fee may effectively do that so it sounds good to me.
I was not accurate in my previous post. The O-1 isn’t on an academic’s radar because they are not subject to H1B caps. So might as well do an H1B with minimal effort.
Yes. As far as I understand it, the EO is not a rule, but will impact upcoming rules. H1B already has exceptions, so there is nothing new being said. It already has a cap exception for doctors and professors, so why not…
I think a lot of people arguing about the H1B visa are talking past each other. - There is no doubt a large volume of abuse by tech consulting companies. It's likely even worse than it looks, because the H1Bs in the…
Curious what this will do for faculty. Common to use H1B as a bridge for a few months before green card. New CS faculty salaries cap out at 180K at the high end.

As I said, they already cost more than smaller and cheaper alternatives. But people buy them anyway. Heavily vehicles may be cheaper for whatever reason you cite. But they are still much more expensive than smaller…
Evidence suggests people want these cars. They already cost more than smaller and cheaper alternatives. But people buy them anyway.
It is hard to take the ACM's take on publishing seriously, when virtually all significant publications in machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision are not being published in ACM venues.

I agree. We are talking about technical, mathy stuff, right? As long as you can tell that you don’t deeply understand something that you just read, they are incredible TAs. The trick is going to be to impart this…
Don’t worry, aforementioned kid is doing just fine, machine learning PhD IIRC. There is a lot of other remarkable stuff in modern computing.
It is possible that this doesn't work anymore. I distinctly recall the following episode when I last taught intro CS in Scheme: I revealed first-class functions. After lecture, the brightest kid in class came up to me…
Do you think it may be feasible to do this and maintain the FFI?

We in computer science departments are very happy to send our students to industry, whether or not they bother finishing their degree. The article lists a bunch of old-timers, like Page and Brin. Right now, everyone is…
