Still doesn't clarify what happens to people adjusting their status from F1 to H1B inside the US. Is that a new visa ?

What is the actual intent behind decimating NASA ? It's tiny compared to the defense budget and fairly high ROI in terms of maintaining US scientific leadership.

It's mostly for taste at this point, rather than safety. For a long time I used to drink right from the tap, now use a filter pitcher simply because it tastes better.

No law required ? Is Executive order sufficient to create new visa categories ?

Not disputing long term damage to the talent pool in the US, just making an observation that it won't be solved until the issue affects certain groups.

Issues with immigration will be fixed once Europeans start reporting difficulties obtaining visas and green cards. Until then it's business as usual.

Smart move. One typically needs to move jobs to get promoted anyways.

Spouses on H4 cannot work unless the primary H1B has an approved I-140 immigrant petition. It's not automatic.

they mean "bonafide job offer". What is happening right now is staffing agencies (mainly in India) mass file H1B applications for all their staff, and then once they get picked in the lottery, they find assignments in the US and f

This is a pretty niche acausal language, and is used extensively in Motorsports (F1, NASCAR) for real-time simulation on the driver simulator. The language spec is open source but there many commercial compilers, Dymola is the most popular.

Not surprised. For an AI first company, Google keyboard swipe behavior is atrociously bad.

The executive branch cannot make laws. The H1B program and green card numerical limits came to be from Congress passing laws and can only be changed by them passing new laws.

The number of residency slots (a legal requirement to be a doctor) is limited because it's funded by Medicare and only Congress can increase it. AMA (American Medical Association) has lobbied to keep it that way.

This requires Congress to pass legislation, so cannot be done tomorrow . Legal immigration isn't a high priority in general and Congress hasn't moved on immigration in decades.

Staffing companies are extremely profitable and mostly operate on the edge of the law, exploiting visa workers for maximum profit. Any attempt by USCIS to regulate staffing agencies use of H1B has been fought tooth and nail by armies of law

Labor is human capital, and in a free market, people should be free to deploy their human capital wherever they want to get maximum ROI.

I wonder if AI code completion reduces the value of abstractions if boilerplate code is easy to generate. Will this lead to highly repetitive code ?

I see lots of progress and resources put towards monitor refresh rates but very little progress on making 5K displays cheaper. Any reason why ? Is this due to gaming ?
