I spent three years waiting for a Green Card while working at a boring job in a big company. It is very frustrating.

My only piece of advice would be to look for ways to hack the Green Card process. While it looks completely unhackable on the surface, there were a couple of times dring my application where we managed to find influential contacts who sped things up by as much as six months. If the immigration lawyer your company is using isn't doing everything possible to make your application go quickly, find a lawyer of your own to review the paperwork and see if anything more can be done.

Good luck!
The main solution to that problem likely lies in finding the perfect spouse before getting the money.

THE BIBLE CODE PREDICTS THAT YELLOWSTONE WILL BLOW MARCH 31 OR APRIL 1, 2004

Disagree.

Intelligence agencies like GCHQ have targeted journalists for years, mostly out of fear that they will miss any embarrassing strategic stories which embarrass their political masters. There are tons of pre-Internet scandals related to intelligence agencies wrong-doing being exposed by the media - especially in places like Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Look at the work of journalists like Peter Taylor, John Weir and stories like Murder on the Rock, Stevens Enquiry, Shoot to Kill, etc etc

The problem was that intelligence agencies never defined and acknowledged the difference between protecting from embarrassment when they got caught doing something wrong and protecting from security threats.
Not a single comment so far about a popular reason to consume oat milk: lactose intolerance. My son and a coworker both use Oatly for this reason.
It's amazing to visit the Esperanto Museum at the National Library of Austria.

https://www.onb.ac.at/en/museums/esperanto-museum/

The museum tells the story of how the Esperanto movement enjoyed tremendous prestige and support before the World Wars. But the wars themselves were damaging to Esperanto in almost every possible way -- reducing peaceful international cooperation, harming modernist optimism (cf. Eliot's "The Waste Land"), making some kinds of internationalism seem naive or impractical, and starting the U.S. on its course to become the sole superpower. Also, as this article describes, Hitler and Stalin were both incredibly opposed to Esperanto and Esperantists, and violently repressed them.

HN user Mediterraneo10 has pointed out in a number of interesting prior HN Esperanto threads that the Esperanto movement in its original form did not resemble its present-day version -- in particular there was not originally a consensus that Esperanto aimed to preserve natural languages (and serve as a bridge between them) rather than supplant them. I'm still curious when that consensus emerged (Mediterraneo10 said as late as the 1970s, but I think that Otto Jespersen, a prominent Idoist in the 1920s and creator of Novial, who may have coined the term "auxiliary language", had a view of the role of such languages that would be closer to the usual Esperantist view today than to the view of planned languages as supplanting natural languages).

Maybe we need a collection of prior HN threads on Esperanto; some of them have been pretty interesting.
And who decides when it has “stopped working.” It is standardized to 39 years because it is impossible to prove for every single item individually and people would then be incentivized to not take care of their possessions so they can finally deduct it. This is all besides my original point which is that accelerated depreciation is a big factor in determining whether projects occur, the opposite of the article. You yourself are calling it a subsidy and a loan, and so even if your reasoning is wrong, would agree with me that it is something that helps make a project feasible. So all this arguing is just you trying to argue. Get your CPA and talk to me again.
The min and maximize buttons seem to work but the close doesn't. Is that a bug?
It made a difference for a while. But once those new vacancies were filled, the market seized again and it’s now once again airtight. They just aren’t responding to demand by allowing for enough new development. It’s insanity.

That hardly makes sense with the way SF’s rent control works — units that are currently empty “reset” to market rate when rented again. I’m in a rent controlled apartment paying close to $4k/month. Long-time tenants can see substantial benefit, but it doesn’t make any sense as a reason for places to currently be vacant unless a landlord is gambling that rents are going to substantially appreciate beyond $4k/month.

Unless you mean tenant protections in that owners are hoping to sell the buildings to flip to condos, in which case sure, they’re more valuable without tenants but that’s hardly unique to SF. Many places make it difficult to evict tenants to take rental units off the market.
Obviously we're going to miscommunicate about open standards if you think standards like H.264 are open standards when they're not. Even Apple and Steve Jobs usually makes this distinction e.g. in Thoughts on Flash H.264 is referred to as an "industry standard" while all the web tech is repeatedly called "open standards".

Regarding video chat, we don't seem to be moving forward here. Do we agree that Apple has intentionally limited the software available to older iPhones? That it is actually physically possible to receive(!) video calls on a phone without a front facing camera, and that there is a market demand for it, both demonstrated by Fring having this feature on iPhone? (A quick google reveals many commenters first reaction to this feature in Fring is: why can't I use the camera on the back of my iPhone?)

In New Zealand English, you should be comparing the pronunciation of R in “red” and “car audio”, to ensure that the R is actually pronounced at all. Some accents don’t even pronounce it in the latter. (There’s a good one for the spelling reformers.)

And be careful with “ah”. I have a strong suspicion that we pronounce it very differently in New Zealand compared to North America.

Well, in my case the failures are obvious and objectively present. You can't really discuss expectations if your device just lost all your data due to filesystem corruption. You don't discuss "infallibility" if your device tells you:

Besides the fact that this also was quite a bloody period of Icelandic history, the population also most probably was below 50000, which is the census result of 1703.

If you have no population to speak of, and practically everyone is a subsistence farmer/fisherman, and you have a population density of about one person per square mile, then yes, you don't much coordination/government.

Right, that's the point I've been making. The interest in Tom Cook's opinion isn't derived from how good an idea it is - the interest is from his power status. We agree here.
The US (Great Plains Shelterbelt project), China (Great Green Wall, or Three-North Shelter Forest Program), and Russia (Siberia) are precisely the inspirations for this project.

I've basically come to terms with the fact that we're probably the last generation (or definitely one of the last) that is enjoying a level of comfort bordering on luxury. I enjoy it while it lasts. My biggest "trick" is not having children, so I don't have to worry about their future. The problems we're facing, barring some revolutionary technological breakthroughs, are basically unsolvable (because humans are terrible at planetary-level coordination) so worrying about them is just not worth it.

That may be so, but the real name policy still has detrimental effects for some users. For example, I've stopped giving reviews to anything on google. Why? I don't want the things I like and dislike, and use broadcast to the world.

Why should the entire planet know where I like to eat? Where I live? What I do in my spare time with apps? What my hobbies are? This is a massive privacy loss, and thus I don't review anything on google's platform.

Anonymous reviews have value, even if they are more susceptible to being gamed.

I seriously doubt that there are a lot of young parents that are leaving more than $5,430,000[1]. Below that amount, it usually isn't necessary[2] to even file an estate tax return.

The idea that the estate tax ever applies to most people has been very successful propaganda for a long time. The estate tax should absolutely be very high, because the people leaving large amounts of wealth are generally the only people the tax would affect.

Although I greatly admire the author's personal accomplishments, I feel like some arguments in this write up are based on false premises.

Here is an example: "winners will do what losers won't"

What about the guy who gets the second place? the third? Surely, he did a lot of things that losers didn't but isn't he also a loser? This quickly grows absurd when you talk about competitive sports, but perhaps the line between winners and losers and what they do to become who they are is not as well-defined.

Framing everything in terms of winning and losing ends up producing cultural constructs that are by and large unsupportable with real-world evidence and experience. I know this probably sounds like sour grapes or one loser's whining, but reading between the lines of the original post it doesn't sound like author was particularly happy "living" that categorization himself. Perhaps, I am imagining things though.

I also think competitive sports are exceptional in how strongly work correlates with achievement. When I look at winners in business, for the life of me I don't think their accomplishments correlate with "work". Work is but one aspect, but there is also talent, intelligence, luck, and background. All of those matter too.
Wow. Excellent article. Visionary, even.

So, clearly, about 90% of the population of this message board will be parasites by this new definition.

This suggests one thing to me: if we're disorganised parasites, we will get squashed.

While I agree, there are some languages + db drivers where this is your only choice unless you roll your own. Go's sql package relies on order in the Scan method, for example.
Pfizer and moderna were not in the most promising vaccines list. MRNA was too new and untried. I'm not sure why Oxford/az wasn't ramped up more though, they were the ones everyone was waiting for.

I am in the same situation as the parent comment. Youngish but offered it at the weekend. I would be group 6 but I think there is more at play.

There are vaccine centres in London (certainly the one I attended) having to close early because a lot of people in group 1-4 are refusing to take up their appointments. I believe that so they can make use of their supply they've had to transition to lower groups a lot sooner than planned.

This isn't my project but something that some people I know are trying to get going. I think they are almost shooting for a dating site type feel - I've had the process of finding a cofounder refered to as dating (with the hackers as the women in this analogy).

It is early but I believe they're trying to get user feedback so they can iterate. As it says on the site this was built at a startup weekend event. They can't improve the UI and features without having users providing feedback.

Uh, why the hell would we listen to a chemist’s opinion about a pandemic? There is literally a whole field of science that studies this, and it’s not remotely similar to chemistry.
Aww geeze, I knew someone was going to ask some followup questions and I'd be out of my depth!

To be honest, I didn't practice in the field very long as an RT because I fell into hospital IT after my rotations and took to it like a duck to water and ended up really enjoying that as a career.

I'm gonna refer you to this study which - you are right- does show the insp/exp trainers help to strengthen breathing muscles. So perhaps it's the equivalent of using weights at the gym vs just doing diaphragm breathing exercises.

>few western countries have bended the infection trajectory sufficiently to see the outbreak ending soon.

There's an expected lag, we saw that in the Wuhan lockdown. Beyond a certain density of infection though, maybe it just won't be effective enough.

Wuhan lockdown was Jan 23rd and cases continued to rise for some time after because there is an incubation period, and additional family (and maybe within apartment building?) infection.

Italy lockdown is just where they were Wuhan was on Feb 2nd or so, it didn't look like it was slowing down enough for them at that point, but then did.

It's all about potential future profits. Not everyone agrees on what those profits could be, and hence why there is a market for shares, and is the reason why share prices are not stable.

Essentially, the holders believe that past performance is not reflective of possible future performance. The shorts and sellers and non buyers believe that us the case or that there are more efficient allocations of their money.
Guerilla depends on the local population not accepting the situation.

For instance, as far as I know all is fine and quiet in Crimea, and as I wrote in my previous comment even if Ukraine does not officially accept the situation, in practice the border has moved since 2014 and no-one fights.

So we'll need to wait and see how the situation stabilises and which territories Russia can grab and decides to hold on to.

It's no unusual for armed conflicts to end that way, with an armistice.
