> So many people here are celebrating this order due to its supposed abstract benefits but are somehow unaware of the its cruelty.

To be blunt, a nation's citizens and permanent residents' rights to economic prosperity outweigh any temporary worker's right to continued employment. Yes it may be viewed as cruel in the individual case, but the point of these visas are not to provide a vehicle for those workers to come live in the USA. They're meant to fill a need for companies that cannot find qualified workers.

In a country facing a staggering unemployment rate, continued job losses, and possible long term recession, it'd be malfeasance on the part of any public official to magnify the problem by allowing more workers to enter and compete against its own permanent residents.

It's not pretty. It's reality.
It's expensive but not as bad as you'd think. I didn't have insurance for half a year, and I just called the manufacturer and got a huge discount ($200/bottle -> $35/bottle). One bottle lasts a month or so.

This was only due to not having insurance and wasn't need-based - I had earned FAANG income earlier that year and the year before.

That's funny, because my visa had issues because I was "too highly paid for the job".

But then they decided they could add a machine learning tag to it, and it was fine.
This will definitely expedite tech jobs moving to India. At current market rates, companies can afford to hire 3-5 engineers in India compared to 1 engineer in US with equivalent interview standards. I already see this happening with Amazon(with new hyderabad campus), Google & Uber.
yeah. people don’t really understand that it’s not the cholesterol in food that necessarily matters - most of the cholesterol that circulates in your blood is actually produced by your liver.

also, there are different phenotypes when it comes to cholesterol. For some a LFHC diet does wonders, for others it’s a sure way to have problems down the line if you sustain it for long periods of time.
Well you're not completely truthful here. Yes you can work under J1, its an internship or traineeship visa. J-1 in general is related to learning tho. But there is nothing against doing something for money.
My dude, the people who came here to work and make their living are individuals, they have desires of their own to trade their services for a good life. Countries don't own their citizens, they are entities organized by people interested in living there.
That's because when the extrovert is talking to other extroverts, they will tell him "yeah, yeah, we get it" and not just sit there like a sheep and let him pontificate.

How about you try that instead of just bearing with uncomfortable experiences? Chances are he'll be far less offended than you might think. Talk is cheap, after all.

> It is known from the growing evidence base that a low carb approach can help put type 2 diabetes into remissio, and now experts are exploring its impact on type 1 diabetes.

> showed the benefits of low carb treatment among adult men with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes. The three men were aged between 36 and 40 years old at diagnosis.

First off, spelling error this soon (remissio) raises red flags, but yes, type 1 diabetes is different than type 2, and I thought is usually diagnosed pretty young, since it is very serious. It seems like in the article the patients are aged 36-40, which seems pretty late to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?

Are there different causes of type 1 diabetes that can happen later in life? (and are those treated differently?)
I understand it must be comforting to issue a blanket statement like that, but I it's just simply not universally true. I was hired on an E3, next job transitioned to H1-B and now have a green card. My work has directly enabled the hiring of three Americans. Is the H1-B perfect? Of course not. But on both occasions there were no other candidates, and when I was hired on H1-B I got a mandated higher salary to meet expected pay rates.
If your firm is making money (especially to the tune of $1MM -- is that per month or per year?), it might be a perfect match for the more old-fashioned form of non-dilutive fundraising: lending. There are a lot of firms out there which capped revenue based funding, but the biggest one I know is Lighter Capital [1] (no affiliation), and I believe there's a good amount of competitors [2] which do the same thing. Why not consider reaching out to them and seeing if you're a fit?

I'm someone with a family history of CVD, so the only way I would try a low-carb diet is if I ate food that doesn't have clinical evidence for raising cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.

That meant eating only a small amount of saturated fat, and limiting palmitic acid in particular, and only small amounts of table salt balanced with other minerals like potassium chloride.

I'd eat a lot of salad, nuts, fish, and the only additional fat I'd eat would be in form of EVOO, avocado oil or other oils high in monounsaturated fats, and some polyunsaturated fats. My blood work was always fine.

Some people think low-carb means that they get to eat bacon for every meal and drink the grease.
I am more worried about what it means to us consumers.

While Apple producing ARM based systems might mean slightly cheaper machines, but if it is the cost of giving up control to customize your hardware and software, I will never be looking at another iDevice.

We already have to face the bullshit of soldered RAM and soldered SSD's and locked app stores and now I fear with ARM chips we will be faced with an even more locked down ios-like macOS with installs only possible from app stores. And ofcourse, everything linked to the iCloud to leech off and data mine our personal information. The "secure" chip, and perhaps a locked bootlooder will ensure that we won't be able to install any other OS on it, and Apple could even remotely cripple the device with it.

(As you can tell, I am not at all enthused by this move. And mark my word, this is what Apple will do eventually.)
Eye for an eye is a bad advice when there are more peaceful, not yet tried alternatives. It's not like they are pointed a gun and the only escape is shooting back.

I respect the opinion though, so not down-voting you.
How is that possible, given that these people are paid above the prevailing wage?

That's literally one of the requirements for the Visa, the minimum has been repeatedly raised to address this problem.

So? Want to explain that to me?

Fixed. Thanks! :)
Or could-have, which I think is more applicable in the sentence you're correcting. Or am I missing some obscure grammar rule?
To me it may be a tell for the writers at one point pronouncing it as "'istoric", similar to those who say human as "'uman", and then as you said likely fanning out as an over-correction, possibly because that dialect was associated with prestige.
Thanks. The reason I quoted this statistic is because I was surprised that there aren’t more Americans interested in taking advantage of the excellent education in STEM.

Could it also tell us something about interest in the field generally?

We also see significant immigrant ratios in entrepreneurial ventures:
"Immigrants are “almost twice as likely” as native-born Americans to become entrepreneurs, according to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation."

Yeah only reason you want a burner phone is because Facebook is obsessed with SMS 2-factor because they care more about aggregating user data than security. Do they allow OTP systems yet? People that know your phone number will try to steal your popular account with SS7 attacks if they find a way to put two and two together. I think you can still sign up with email.

OH you mean to use the instagram app. Yeah thats not a problem. Just create the account however you do it and login on your normal device.

No proxy necessary.

No legal concerns with the state. With private persons you are dealing with a lot of creatives and media people, so although reposting is a fun thing, if you ever brand a page to actually look like an actual business then people will threaten to sue you for copyright infringement for random unilateral reposting. Just asking is ok, but not a standard that anyone else has to think about.

Facebook slowly lets Instagram facilitate its economy as you can have as many instagram accounts as you want logged in at the same time, and it is easy to switch between them. They should really be brokering the promotion and account trading transactions too, maybe its not as big as I imagine? But it could be much bigger too if they added confidence to the market.

So IG won't care. If you mess up with objectionable content, only that one account will get sanctioned in isolation. Although it is still possible to get an IMEI banned.

> Fascinating stuff. If you wrote a series of blog posts detailing how you manipulate the world of instagram, you'd probably frontpage HN.

I'm working on more lucrative things right now, so I'm just answering questions because the comments have gone this direction!

I knew this edge would diminish if I ever wrote about it, and on HN specifically I just figured a bunch of Gen-X people would really miss the point and only see objectionable unrelatable social media stuff they don't want to think about, a "get of my lawn" attitude, with the idea of a social media economy they can't perceive being something they would just argue the semantics of. So I had imagined it was only downside.
Without commenting on the groups themselves, I think it's important to note that the name a group gives themselves frequently has nothing to do with their activities. See Democratic People's Republic of Korea, etc.

LDL is correlated but not causative and it's been discovered that HDL is a much better indicator.

Take a look at this book:

It goes into it quite a bit more -- cholesterol is a _terrible_ indicator of overall health. This is well known in the Keto community.

Are you talking dev or academia? I read the paper and I'll give you my dev focused response. The paper is focused on phd supply in academia and the most recent dates referenced are the last 1990s. It has brief discussion of knowledge workers but not really devs. It's not relevant for devs in the us at least since the dot com boom until now.

There's a giant shortage of capable devs. i'm from the us in case it matters to you but in my 25+ years as a professional engineer across a few fangs, midsize and several startups all those companies wanted to hire every capable dev they could find. Microsoft used to have 5k plus openings when I was there and the other fang had similar. We hired all over the world and the us. We never hired as many as we wanted. New college students grads could make over 100k and we still couldn't hire all we wanted.

I worked on creative, original software. I think there is a hiring area that could be impacted by large number of immigrants in tech and that is more IT like positions. There's an oversupply in my experience of people that put software packages together, keep the it infrastructure of a company running - those are crucial jobs too, just like devs writing original software, but there's a lot fewer people in it support and maybe that's part of the issue.
You’d think a website that was devoted to being mainly plain text would at least put a little effort into making the text more readable.
Yeah, I find sales and marketing to be distasteful in general, and casting human relationships into that mold turns something beautiful about life into a hollow commodity. I have strong desires for community, and personal meaning, so I am happy to have deeper relationships even if it means they are fewer in number. It also feels to me that the urge to pursue a large volume of experiences in this gamified way is an attempt at finding validation without being vulnerable, which is ultimately self-defeating. But hey, if it makes you happy then who am I to say anything. But that perspective is why I don’t understand the appeal.
You don’t need a specialised solution for this, just prefix the v1 of your hashing algorithm with some constant and then you can easily extend it.

> I've learned to recognize that there are acceptable reasons for undocumented conversations.

It seems bizarre to me that one could think otherwise. Unless you meant but did not specify that you're only speaking of line-of-business workplace communication, of course. Otherwise, I find it hard to believe you could forge any actual relationships with people if you try to have a record for everything.
Like I said "all have their own definition".
If you are fine with using animal products if they did not suffer because of humans, you still can't use fossil fuel because obviously your goal then is to avoid animal suffering and billions of animals suffered and died as a direct consequence of humans using fossil fuel.

Veganism can be turned and twisted however one wants its either based on total flawed concept or the only real solution would be to remove humans form earth. Which would guarantee no further bad effects due to us but it would certainly not stop animal suffering for millions of years to come.
Clinical remission was defined as discontinuing insulin treatment for a period of at least three months.

Worth noting
You can get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at any age. It used to be called "juvenile diabetes" because they thought it only hit children, but that was proven to be false.

We don't know if it's different causes in adults vs children, because we don't really know the cause. The mechanism is the same though: the immune system destroying the beta cells in the pancreas.
I think the problem here is less about choosing to utilize a client-side rendering implementation and more about choosing to adopt the “SPA” paradigm - where everything is smashed together in a single application bundle.

React + React DOM is something like 35kb gzipped. That’s not nothing (don’t forget caching) and pushing the initial render to the client (though not strictly necessary) does incur a bit of a penalty, but I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks in many more use cases than people give credit.

The real problem is two-fold: The first, as I stated above, is wrapping the entire application in a client-side implementation. As many people are pointing out this is often unnecessary. You don’t need to go full “SPA” in order to benefit from the vdom.

The second (related) reason is when developers just start adding 3rd party dependencies without considering their impact (or if they are necessary). React is a library, and for the features you get it’s really not that big. If that’s all you are using to add that extra sparkle to some of your pages I firmly believe you are getting the absolute most “bang for your buck”.
It’s not without tradeoffs. There’s a substantial overlap between T1 and CHD, and the impacts of keto on CHD in non-normal populations (hyper-responders, metabolic patients) are even more poorly understood than they are in the general population.

Lowering carbs is one thing; LCHF is an entirely different beast (and I say this both as a T1 and a T1 who tried LCHF for nearly a year).

It’s an option for some, but billing it as “remission” is going to make people think it’s a cure-all, when it’s far from that, and isn’t exactly “new” for the treatment of T1 - it’s both part of the general instruction set (“reduce carbs”) and even prior to insulin therapy, was the only treatment for T1, and it had a pretty poor success rate.
I read the paper but I did not see any indication of wage depression.

Here are the trends I am observing from the comments of this thread:

* Immigrants in the US on visas earn less than US citizens. I have seen no data on this. How much less do immigrant software engineers earn as a percentage?

* Any evidence discrediting knowledge worker shortage is centered on academics. I am a senior software developer with 20 years experience at one of the largest and wealthiest employers in the US. Despite that I have no formal education in the subject matter. I am either entirely self taught or in some other disciplines trained by the military. So it seems, from my perspective, centering the discussion to academics is just a distraction.
Sorry, didn't actually see any scientific criticisms or questions in any of your replies; just your "sincere" request for more information, which I gave you. You just don't seem interested in learning more.
> OTOH there seems to be a rapid accumulation of features...

I think you're stretching your narrative a bit. They're working on a new GC algorithm that (if you watch Rumpf's very interesting presentation[1] on it from today) is a significant performance improvement over their current GC.

What features are you referring to regarding the "ever increasing scope of the language"?

If that's actually going on, that is horrifying.

Like it'd be one thing if squad cars had seen heavy vandalism, sirens were damaged across the board, they can't get new ones shipped in/repaired units so they're using the closest damn thing that makes a loud noise.

They can't exactly borrow from ambulances and fire trucks because each of those is specifically designed to not interfere with each other to make it possible for uninvolved people to know where they are coming from in acoustically complicated areas, and I wouldn't be surprised if the demand for new units weren't that elastic.

Then again, you'd think there would be international suppliers to buy from. Though I could totally understand if only the French had extra stock. Better to sound like an Ice Cream truck than a French Police car. (Sorry guys, I just can't stand that sound).

If it is intentionally being done as some sort of psychological warfare tactic. What in the hell is with reaching back so far for a reference? Short of stumbling across this article in particular, or having a Gran around with primary insight of the time... It just seems like a stretch to me that a whole precinct of cops would be huddled together plotting to unleash an entire police force's worth of Ice Cream Truck siren equipped psychological warfare mobiles intended to strike fear into the hearts of 19th century black folk.

Then again, maybe there's a lot of history majors on the force? Bloody world is gone mad, and I'm not certain anyone is worth taking seriously anymore.

EDIT: I quit. I just can't even reasonably process the simultaneous horror /absurdity factor with this. Absolute madness.

As many have said -- cholesterol is not indicative of much, HDL can be useful but still not much. First thing I would do is study a little bit about it, I found this book very informative, The Big Fat Surprise
https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy/dp/14...

I've been Keto for 18 months and it's changed my life (I've previous tried Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescetarian, and a few others) -- I also got my blood tested 6 months after starting and I was in "perfect" levels according to the nurse -- but cholesterol specificaly is a terrible indicator.
This is, incidentally, one of the tricky parts of trying to add a phonetic spelling to English.

Should the phonetic spelling of "mention" be "menshin" or "menchin"? Should the spelling be the same everywhere, with people pronouncing it the other way having to learn to spell it correctly, or should it be spelled differently depending on the dialect of the speaker?
sorry but this is bs and straight dangerous. cholesterol itself is not dangerous but the proteins that carry it in the blood stream are. That’s why LDL is bad and HDL is good (supposedly 2 types of cholesterol- but they’re not they’re two types of proteins). The LDL are the smaller ones that actually end up, in time, piercing the lumen (blood vessel wall) and causing inflammation. this is how your arteries narrow and this is how you eventually end up with heart disease.

so the LDL particles (by count not volume) are bad and whoever tells you otherwise is full of crap
It's anecdotal evidence, but I know of a fairly young person who is now prescribed statins after overeating animal fat for their keto diet.
If this irritates anyone, you might be interested in the work of George Bernard Shaw and Kingsley Read to reform English spelling. They proposed a consistent, phonetic, spelling and writing system called Shavian and published a now-rare book using that system. The second iteration made some slight usability and efficiency improvements and called the new work Quikscript.

Of course, in an alternate universe, this superior writing system was adopted along with the full SI unit system.
