It's great that the Fortune 500 companies who lobbied for these visas are doing so out of such charitable motives - tying tech coolies to companies on 3 year visas. The whole thing is charitable motives, not stockholder profit. I guess the secret wage collusion by Jobs, Schmidt and Silicon Valley companies was for charitable motives too.

Every day on HN is a new front page story on Chinese yellow peril full of comments about how the west should go back to the old colonial motif of sending the navies into China. But you just saw the most uncharitable comment ever, congratulations.

> Autopilot disengaged about 40 seconds prior to impact due to the Tesla issuing a Forward Collision Warning (FCW) chime

Here's a reckless driver in a Tesla assuming AP could handle unsafe speeds on their behalf.

Once again AP is not the one to blame but... a driver tries to use it as a crutch and it disengages due to the FCW.

Due to the complete lack of input from the driver, many suspect the driver didn't realize AP would be disengaged by the FCW, and while AP disengaging would have given an alert, it'd be at the same time as the multiple FCW alerts they got.

So just like the DUI, the safety features would have worked *better* without AP. If they had been driving without AP they would have not have expected a now-disabled feature to respond to the FCW for them...

-

Seems like you didn't realize this was the case either with FCW and AP, so you're welcome....

Ps: My Model S test drive (remember those) was not going so hot when the headliner started peeling off the demo car, but then went cold when the not-a-salesperson panicked when I didn't disable AP fast enough (since we were approaching a section of lane markers in their test circuit where it was known to veer towards barriers)

I'm pretty familiar with Teslas though, I was a huge fan until gestures to everything from AP marketing to silent CPO->used change, etc.

Pps: Please don't go and try this on a public road to prove an internet stranger wrong.

You already admitted to trying to test ELKA (which won't intervene until things are going seriously wrong.)

You're not going to be able to test a FCW with AP without doing something silly...

Aside from some unusual visa rules, the only permanent immigration route Congress has created is family reunification. Congress has never created a skilled worker system for people intended to immigrate permanently. H1B is a temporary worker visa that has been abused to serve that role, but that wasn’t the intent: https://www.salisbury.edu/administration/academic-affairs/fa...

> The H1B is a temporary visa. The alien must be coming to temporarily fill a position that may, or may not in itself be temporary. The employer must attest that the alien's services are needed temporarily. The letter of appointment and other documents must stipulate the temporary nature of the appointment.
If I look back over 25+ years, I think there’s a time and a place for most modes of work. I wouldn’t want to have to kick-off a high value, high risk, complex project delivery or product development purely remotely. Likewise while IMO fine for day-to-day and mid-point reviews, I also wouldn't want to conduct a project retrospective or (in the case of failure, or partial failure) autopsy or lessons learned, in a wholly remote mode.

I read this somewhere about how to do estimates and it has stuck with me:

"Double the number and increment the unit."

This is a simple formula to calculate how long something takes to go from idea to production.

So, 3 hours becomes 6 days; 2 weeks is 4 months, etc.

Enjoy!
That's simply one case where it worked out, out of the how many that are issued?

I'd argue only ever hearing about one who made it, as opposed to personally knowing several for whom it did not, further drives the point that it's a broken system.

Put simply - anything a business wants is to increase profit and power, never not once have they made a decision to help their employees.

I’ve seen plenty of research on this as part of my job. There are plenty of obvious stressors (people seeing your background, audio lag, connection hiccups) but there’s also VC fatigue. At least right now, people find all day VC meetings more exhausting than all day in person meetings.

In a ten person meeting in person, is everyone in the room going to stare at you personally for the entire hour? If you’re in Zoom, that’s what you see. Huge difference in social stress not knowing if people are looking at you and seeing a video view that makes it look like everyone is.

People say that about the web, too. "If you write semantic html and use aria tags, it's accessible".

In theory, yes, but in practice it's probably a very bad experience unless actively worked on. For instance, I worked on a "seat chooser" once, that actually was very keyboard friendly and worked with screen readers. But trying to actually use it to select a specific seat for a blind was impossible. A seeing user can just press the seat directly, or tab quickly until the correct one is selected. But with voiceover it had to read out "seat 7B, $5 extra, not occupied, extra leg room, aisle, power outlet".

An actually useful way of selecting a seat would be to specify a seat directly, or some kind of filter for wanted features, a table or whatever. Not just take a visual way of presenting something and slap on some voice data.
One of the things that I'm very grateful for in my workplace is that using the camera is optional. And everyone opts not to use the camera.
“Not proven” isn’t the same as implies bottom/Falsum?

As I understand it, one can have a proof, or one can have a disproof (I.e. a machine that takes as input a proof of the statement and produces a proof of Falsum), or one can just, not have either of those things.

You never have a “I don’t have a proof” with which to do things with, even if you don’t have a proof.

Regarding the truth of a given statement, you can either say that there is a proof of it, or you can stay silent about it (while possibly saying something about another statement, e.g. saying that there is a proof of the negation of the original statement).

I'm pretty sure you can record a Zoom call in several ways without the app detecting it.

It's a joke. Meaning, you must assume that you are constantly recorded during your work on Zoom, and that the recordings can wind up anywhere and used for any purpose.

Totally. But there has to be some middle ground. If you did a 180 then do a manual review. If the app is fundamentally the same with a minor bug fix then why review it?
IIRC the H1 permitted under the proviso of "Aliens of Distinguished Merit and Ability" was changed to H1B in the 1990 Immigration and Nationality Act to jobs falling under the name "Specialty Occupations" and "Fashion Models", so it was changed from getting the best and the brightest to something else. It could be used for getting the best and brightest, but that is not the only purpose.

I don’t read it as realistic. H1B is clearly spelled out in the law books as a “temporary worker visa,” but people have treated it as a path to permanent residency. What was offered on paper was an inch, and the expectations were built into a mile. (And to be fair, that is the fault of everyone involved, from the government to employers, but also immigrants who didn’t read the fine print.)

Swiss voters say ‘yes’ to same-sex marriage
I think you nailed the nuance.

That said, I'm curious about the realism of all this. Just being with your partner when they are enjoying something is a wonderful experience. Is that true? Can this continue to be the case over many many years of a marriage?

The article mentioned a much more extreme scenario than movie watching, having someone walk you through the details of a geometry proof that they came up with. How many times can you enjoy having them walk you through a proof and still think it's a wonderful experience listening to them about this thing that you find so boring and soul crushing and might not even understand any piece of it, yet because of the passion in their voice, you enjoy the time and pretend to be excited and interested?

In my opinion, there's a bucket of how much you can do this for. Once the bucket is depleted, to refill the bucket, you need to either spend some time apart, have them spend time with you doing something of your enjoyment or spend time doing things you both enjoy together.
With remote work, if you're talking, I'm expecting you to be referencing something visual - a document, a diagram, etc. I'm looking at a much better eye by tracking what your cursor is doing on screen, and I find your face to be distracting.

Afganistan was stable and free of war (mostly) when the US invaded. Even the poppy export had been repressed. Have the Afgans been made better of by another 20 years of constant war, would they have better of by fighting a continues war for then next 50 years?

The Taliban were winning, that is why the US was driven out. Because it was clear the US was leaving the Taliban were willing to wait.

The reality is the US would have to defend the country for many decades. Spend huge amount of money against the will of the waste majority of Americans on propping up a group of warlords who are often as bad the Taliban (and some of them were worse).

The Afgan government was the most corrupt in the world. The whole economy was a based on US military presence and aid, plus selling of poppy. A country far, far more depended on exporting poppy even then Colombia at the peak of the 'Narco State'.

The money going to the army subsidies officers, equipment stolen and sold, often to the Taliban. Local officials pocketing funds for local administration.

Most woman in Afghanistan still lived according tradition, and laws in most of the country continued to be sharia based. Some studies even found that courts in government areas were stricter.

How do you avoid the 'we are ruling them for their own good'. Should British have stayed in India? All imperialist claim their rule was 'civilizing' the country. Can Afghans never rule themselves? What about other nations who have those kinds of laws? Should the US occupy all of the Middle East and Central Asia in a Pro Womans right campaign? What about Indonesia? Should the US rule those 100s of millions as well?

> Chalk is downloaded 15 millions per day.

If I give you back 5 seconds each day, will it matter to you? Will you be able to enjoy or do something that you otherwise wouldn't? I doubt it. I am certain that is true practically every person in those 15 millions.

The cumulative loss of something can be huge, but still don't matter because its distributed to a degree where it is barely a rounding error.

Details matter. Chalk is ~100K and nanocolors is 16K. Yes, 90K is meaningless saving for a terminal app.
Fantastic read, thanks!
I have a coworker who announces his presence by announcing his self every time he joins. It does not matter if two other people are in the middle of a conversation, once he joins a meeting he announces that " name is here" I just don't understand it.

Besides the fact that they're blinking lights so only on 50% of the time by design, consider the fact that regulations specify the minimum luminous output which these cars obviously pass. Add to that the fact that you're using modern high power LED lights and that the human eye perceives light in a logarithmic manner, it wouldn't surprise me if these indicators will be more noticeable on their "minimum" output than their old incandescent bulb counterparts.
No, the study doesn't even compare men and women. It compares men to men and women to women. It doesn't say anything at all about the competence of the newly added women compared to the competence of the kicked out men, since it has no absolute values of competence in the study. It just has deltas for men and deltas for women, so you can't compare.

So all we learned is that reducing the amount of positions available to men will kick out the less competent men first. We didn't learn whether the total competence of the group got increased after gender quotas compared to before.

Google’s first data center contract
As someone who has gone through this process let me summarize some of the issues this always raises:

1. Green cards have a per-country cap (of 7%) but there is no per-country cap for work visas. This creates a bottleneck since India has the same quota as French Polynesia;

2. Applications for work visas and green cards from low-value employers, specifically IT body shops (eg Tata) are clogging up the system. Relatively few of both of these categories are actually being given to high0-value employers like the Big Tech companies;

3. H1B visas are for 3 years and can be renewed once, for a total of 6 years. After this there needs to be a gap of a year. But if you have a pending green card application you can stay indefinitely;

4. Demand exceeds supply (being the annual quota), which leads to a lottery situation. One of the few things the previous disastrous administration proposed that I actually agree with was the proposal to prioritize work visas based on compensation rather than handing them out randomly. This would help combat the body shops in (2);

5. The bottleneck in (1) means people from certain countries, most notably India, means employees may be in the queue for decades. This is actually an advantage for those aforementioned body shops. it is a modern form of indentured servitude. The employee can't leave nor complain about conditions because then they lose their application and have to return home;

6. This can go on so long that children of said employees age out of the system before their parents are granted a green card. If when granted a green card you have children under the age of 18 they automatically become permanent residents. After that, they don't. This can mean that children who turn 18 may need to leave the US and return to a country they have possibly never known. This is barbaric and inhumane;

7. Before the pandemic there were proposals to alleviate this situation by removing the per-country cap. The pandemic stalled this and it seems to be dead. I personally think this was the wrong solution as it means we would spend the next 3-10 years where only backlog applications would get processed. As such, it's likely to be met with resistance from other immigrant groups. We need a better solution; and

8. If a person is granted a green card and has a spouse and 2 children that counts as 4 in terms of the quota for employment-based green cards, both in total and per country of birth. This too is problematic.

This is also why US tech industry is absolutely eclipsing every other country's tech company combined.
