> Yes, he has exactly 60 days to find another employer and get the visa application through before accruing unlawful status.

This is not entirely true. In U.S. immigration law, "unlawful presence" and "violation of status" are distinct concepts. Unlawful presence of 6+ months results in 3 year bar, and of 12+ months results in 10 year bar. These bars are probably lifetime bans as far non-immigrant non-dual-intent visas are concerned.

However, you don't accrue unlawful presence as long as your I-94 is valid. That's the date stamped on your passport, and usually coincides with the expiry date of your visa, or H-1B approval notice (I-797A/I-797B), whichever is longer. If your company had filed for an extension, and are beyond the I-94 deadline, and you're waiting for adjudication, then you could accrue unlawful presence (if you lose your job).

I'm well-aware of the 60 day rule. (The 60-day grace period which itself was created in January 2017; prior to that you had no grace period.) Within 60 days, you change jobs, and start working at a new job, if the employer files the petition before the 60 days is up.

However, if you've gone past the 60 day limit, you can still get an employer to sponsor you -- you just need to leave the country and return, before you can start. Also, you need to make sure the file your H-1B/other I-129 petition while you're outside the country, so that USCIS doesn't have an excuse to issue an NTA (which can itself easily result in 10-year ban).
This generally happens because config.consider_all_requests_local is set to true in production env. By default it should only be true in development and test.

So .... where does an exchange get all the bitcoin they hold?
For people from India or China, this is bad, agreed.

But if the US didn't limit by country how would people from less populous countries be able get green cards? Given the exponential size differences in play I'd expect many years to have 0 immigrants from <insert small country here> and that doesn't seem right either.

This isn't an argument for the current system. I'm just not sure what a system would look like that doesn't unfairly disadvantage someone.

I wonder if it is possible to harness a stronger-than-human animal to power a wheeled vehicle. A couch potato human can bicycle faster than 13 km/h for hours after all. This could mean that a domesticated animal could get a big speed boost by using wheels instead of legs.

The normal bicycle posture might be hard for many animals but maybe something more like a recumbent, adapted for 4 limbs since animals don't have such a big hand/leg strength imbalance...

Ask HN:Discovered Relative of Homosapiens having Eurasian Traits and More Traits
Withheld research/a significant discovery, by a leading human genetics researcher/population genetics university professor, shows that early indigenous African human groups/homosapiens were not the only early humans. Further, this human group(s) is a vital ancestor of non-indigenous African/Eurasian human groups, among other things. Aside from known Eurasian/non-indigenous African genetic traits, the group(s)' descendants have additional visible genetic traits that distinguish the persons from indigenous African population groups. I have successfully reached out to the DNA sample providers, so the scientist's withheld research findings are not necessary; however, the problem I've encountered is convincing the scientist's peers to re-test the sample providers.

There's more evidence aside from genetic data available, including observable eye and skin-related genetic traits - not presently identified as human or mammal traits.

I've encountered trepidation and bitterness from a few peers of the scientist whom I've reached out to because it's a "sensitive area," according to one of the scientists. For instance, a dermatologist at Weill Cornell was initially excited to accept one of the key DNA sample providers, Michael, as a patient - to document Michael's skin traits and engage further genetic research; however, Michael's admission was not approved by the dermatology department with no further explanation. Also, the lead scientist at the University of Washington's Genetic Diagnostics laboratory cited cost and ethics for declining testing. A New York Times science journalist has significant interest; however, the testing geneticist's peers have refused to answer the journalist's primary question by re-testing a couple of the DNA sample providers.

There's more to share, including as concerns Stanford ophthalmology, for instance, and questions are welcomed.
As someone who suffers from depression and has gone to therapy for over 5 years (I am also on medication), please try and force yourself to go.

It will most likely change your life for the better, if not, what have you wasted? A bit of money and a few hours of your time? It could make you better at dealing with your depression and, as a consequence, make you feel happier.

You might need to try a few different therapists until you find one you like, and it's not a quick fix either. Think of it like getting (physically) fit, you need to keep at it - maybe for years.
You might not also get better in a linear curve, it's up and down, you just have to stick with it.

Therapy has helped me to know myself better, understand why I do what I do and feel the way I do, and, as cheesy as it sounds; learn to accept my limitations.

Oh those UX designers, aren't they just gods. So gifted, with their ability to shape the minds of the pesants and turn every product into gold.

Games have been great for decades. There have been huge hits and misses.

Games have been addictive since the beginning.

Long before UX came along to claim the credit.

I'd love to see a UX team make StarCraft. You wouldn't even get functional software.

Free to play and loot boxes are a new evolution but they are far from the only type of game.

In fact many people play fortnight and dota2 and never spend a dime.

Fortnight is popular and addictive because it's a good fun game that gets everything right for teens. The game designers and the game team did this, not UX.

>You are forced to help customers replace the Qt libraries in your product.

Depends on what you mean by 'help'. You are forced to give the opportunity for them to do the work if they need it. If you have statically linked files, it can't be done by accident.

> Do you see any possible security problems with the above?

No I don't. When I provide completely closed binaries for my customers, they can hack with the binaries and create security problems if they want to.

Software security is not improved by obfuscation. If you don't want your customers create security problems, you don't allow them to modify the software in your hardware.

Btw. I'm confused by your wording. I'm suspecting that you have some underlying assumptions you are not stating. Are you thinking that LGPL forces you to allow customers to modify the software in the hardware they are buying?
I’m surprised to hear people don’t know who Bergson is. I’ve assumed most of my early years that he was at the top of the pantheon of XXth century thinkers.

My undergrad philosophy class was on him, Giono & Camus. Our dean replaced our designated professor and taught us half the year (which was a relief from the old cow who somehow managed to made Giono grey and Camus dull) because our dean was Bergson last, favourite student. He was entrusted with his notebooks and even published them that year (against Bergson express dying wishes; that controversy was fun). It was incredible to go from enjoying someone who could speak of philosophy with passion, gradually realise he refused to admit Bergson positions changed through his life and work (which is very ironic given Bergson’s ontological thesis) and finally, from the podium of the designated specialist who betrayed his master’s official will, felt like he misunderstood everything about the man.

No author compares favourably to an original text from Giono, no matter what: more colours than Gauguin, blunter, more energetic concision than Hemingway, large humane characters who hate each other but you can’t help identifying with… But that last page of Bergson story unfolding in front of us was incredible.

Studying philosophy through literature and characters was a thrill that made _The Feast_ and other classical discursive text really cool. But seeing a student turned professor failing his late-master, live; seeing a dean be a gradually worse teacher, through the assault of honest, curious questions… that was better than any theatre.

We went to study Anouilh the following year, and even _The Lark_ felt less intense. Not sure why they decided to have us look into fiction and literature to study philosophy rather than abstract books. I guess they expected science undergrads to enjoy it more.
I own a CO2 monitor and it is shocking how high it can get in a house with two people just existing. 800 ppm or more. Outside air is 410.

In a car with air on recirculate, it was getting to >1220 ppm, a level that impairs decision making and lowers brain function. I try to drive with air on fresh from now on.

I don’t doubt the air in our conference room with 20 people gets super high in CO2 as the meeting goes on, and that would explain a lot of the horrible decisions and thought processes that happen in there. :) I’m going to bring my meter to the next meeting and see what it gets to. We are a group of scientists so it won’t be awkward or weird. If nothing else it will spark discussion and reflection on the decisions that are made there.
I think it's also an issue because everyone in a kid's friend group will be playing online all the time. If you try to regulate their time in game, you risk them becoming ostracised in the group of friends they have at school. Unless -everyone- does the same thing, it's going to be extremely difficult to do anything about it. I say this as a step-parent of four, two of who are male and game a lot, and one of whom I now think is suffering the consequences of being online too much - despite my best attempts to teach (and demonstrate) what I consider to be a decent balance between on and offline. I hate to think what the effect on the younger boy will be as everything is even more weaponised against him than the older (they are 17 and 12).

Ask HN: How many issues does GitHub hold in total?
Similarly, how many comments in total would that be ?

For some context, I'm trying to design a way to address bug's comment with a single identifier while avoiding collision. This identifier would contains part of the bug's identifier, and part of the comment's identifier inside this bug. Potentially, all bugs could be stored in a single shared address space, across repository.

Real world data would be useful.

Or build on an open an open source stack. Don't like Intel? Switch to AMD. Don't like AWS? Switch to another cloud.

Proprietary platforms lure developers to their stack by making development easy. Learning an open source is typically more difficult, but the reward is greater freedom. Believing you're forced to build on proprietary technology is a fallacy.

Rsync --server is how you run rsync as a forked exec on a remote node to do file tree copy/update. It basically uses SSH for auth and in flight protection. SSH can be slow because of crypto and compression effects which are hard to switch off and if you don't need privacy mbuffer (for instance) or netcat can be far quicker. The likelihood is that quic would be very fast.

Sftp and scp are great when you know the src is not on the dst. If parts of a src/ tree may be on the dst/ path rsync can be block efficient. It's a slower traversal but less data is in flight.

...any tip on getting that working faster? (it takes seconds!!!) I generally prefer to edit the plantuml markup and see the diagram update instantly (like ~<200ms) on the other half split. This is the workflow I have with VSCode + Markdown Preview Enhanced.

I prefer org mode deeper structure instead of markdown, but this kinds of usability stuff (there's also horrible latex formulas rendering, a thousand small papercuts that are fixable but nobody has time for that). From a practical perspective nothing just works out-of-the box the way I want on Emacs, and I'm just to lazy to properly customize everything...
Frameworks like this have come and gone in the last 10 years. I'm not convinced that using this will save you time in the long run. You need to invest a ton of time learning the ins and outs of these frameworks to get stuff done. There are always limitations compared to real native solutions. I think the time is wiser spend understanding the iOS and Android platforms itself.

There is also a big chance that Facebook, Google or whoever will drop their project at some point leaving you hanging and having to rewrite everything again to native or the next multiplatform framework.

It's an important distinction, even in this thread someone has already confused the difference. I have warned people off of bitcoin for years with the specific explanation of the difference, and how no real system is secure (regardless of the underlying cryptosystem being correct).

Yet it's somehow acceptable for companies to collect massive amounts of personal information for profit and get hacked. So my realization is that it doesn't matter, a system is useful because of it's value, and hacks are a part of that expected value. You know who sounds like an incompetent, the company that leaked 230 million people's personal information. You know who sounds like a crook, the companies that said they would stop selling geo location data, but continue to anyway.

Some companies store money directly in servers, and some are barely punished for leaking personal information (meaning the economic incentive to stop that behavior is not there; the loss of value is externalized). To an extent one of those sounds more honest to me, and it's not the traditional one. This is not a problem with bitcoin, this is a problem with capitalism, bitcoin just makes it obvious.

Books on Philosophy of Science – Five Books Expert Recommendations
Its not the underlining security of bitcoins block chain that keeps getting hacked but the exchanges that do. (though there have been a couple of cases where things messed up for example https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident )

Think of it a bit like this. Treat Bitcoin like the Dollar and the Exchanges like banks. The underlying value of the dollar isn't so badly effected because bank robberies happen.

Instead of Storing your money in your own personal vault, people are storing their money in the banks vault(s) because it allows for more convenient usage of your funds. Instead of having to unlock your own safe, deposit what you took out your own vault into a bank and then drive to the store to do your shopping and pay on your card, you can go right to the store as you already have your funds in the bank (Bit of a shit anagogy as this would be more fitting if the store didn't accept cash, only plastic).

To get a quicker exchange of bitcoin to other coins / cash and back again (and have lower fee's), people are storing their coins in the exchanges wallets instead of their own. Instead of breaking into thousands of peoples homes and breaking into everyone's vault in turn, Hackers are targeting the exchanges as its a single place storing large amounts.

I don't usually comment on votes, but I'm quite surprised to see all of these downvotes, and negative responses. There certainly is a lot of intense and burning hatred for immigrants among folks here. Honestly, it doesn't matter how high your salary is either. (The whole canard about low wages is just a dishonest cudgel that they love attacking immigrants with.) The truth is, if you're an immigrant, these people on HN hate you form the depths of their hearts. Like members of the Nazi Waffen-SS, they're consumed by savage and rabid hatred of skilled immigrants, and are foaming at the mouth at the idea of any brown person stepping foot in the US. I think it's best not to engage with these dregs of HN that these horrid people represent -- and especially not let it ruin/affect your mood. It's probably wisest to never comment on immigration-related topics on HN--there's too many low-lifes filled with hatred for immigrants lurking around HN.

The performance. The comparison macspoofing made was with JavaScript+DOM, not with native applications. I wrote games in Flash and played around with JavaScript+Canvas back when HTML5 was still fresh and Flash was still king.

The difference in performance was huge and Flash was faster for years. You'd hear people saying that JavaScript+Canvas was a valid replacement, sure, but those people had absolutely zero idea what they were talking about (especially when they said such stuff when there wasn't even a cross platform working sound API).

Things changed over the last years, sure. But do not rewrite history, JavaScript+Canvas sucked for a long time compared to Flash (and in some areas, like distribution, still sucks - a single compressed SWF file with all your resources is still nicer for distributing games than a bunch of HTML and whatever else files).

FWIW i always maintained that Java was miles ahead any of the above when it came to games (especially about performance), but Sun killed applets brutally with its awful startup times and bloated VMs. Then Oracle came along and just abandoned the whole thing.
