We're seeing really fast adjudications of NIW petitions right now (in 3-6 months) so (unless you are from a backlogged country like India or China) you could get your green card in less than one year. But historically, close to 18+ months.

Hey, I got my H1-B a long time ago (more than 6 years). I only used it for like 6 months.
I still have my I-94. If I tried to get a job in the states again, would I have to be counted against the cap once more or could I just use my unused time?
I read this previously but I'm not sure if it's up to date:

If I could, how long would I have to use that unused time? Also, if I changed nationality, would I lose it?

I'm just going to repeat what I said on the last thread on this topic[0]. It's more or less exactly what I'd say to this article as well, modulo only the smallest tweaks.

As somebody who is a sort of self-driving car skeptic myself, even I have to say this kind of over-the-top skepticism is just as silly and absurd as the ridiculous self-driving car hype of the last 10 years or so.
OK, so "we" have spent 10 years and $100B on this and it doesn't "fully" work yet. So what? Who said how long it was going to take or how much it was going to cost? This amounts to the little kid in the car screaming "are we there yet? Are we there yet?" The answer is "no", but we are going to get there eventually. That's pretty damn close to inevitable, barring nuclear armageddon or something.

So yeah, I'm a skeptic in terms of believing I won't be riding in a fully autonomous self-driving car in the next 10 years. Or maybe 20 years. But 50 years out? 100? 200? 1000? I mean, yeah, it's absolutely going to happen.

Remember the old saw "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the short term and underestimate the change that will occur in the long term. People overestimate what can be done in one year, and underestimate what can be done in ten."[1]

You always have a _choice_. Your alternative is not to sign.

Of course you want the benefits of the lease - your company needs space, or whatever. So your choice becomes "sign, or don't get the lease."

Which brings us to risk. The landlord understands your business is in a risky phase. They can't control that, so they'd prefer that you, personally, since you have control, take that risk.

There are two approaches you can take here -

a) own nothing. If you own nothing then you can take on all the risk you like since debtors prison is no longer a thing. Of course then you need someone to own your assets, which leads to a different kind of risk.

Or b) negotiate hard. 20 years ago we managed to get a lease without personal surety by paying a much larger deposit. We basically payed to move the risk back to the landlord. (it turned out well for him, we're still there, and we've been his best, and longest, tenent in the building.)

C) walk away. Find another way to get what you need. Or

D) agree to take on the risk personally. Bet all your worldly possessions - go all in. Not the approach I recommend, but seems like many folk are happy with this approach.
On the Importance of Pull Request Discipline
There are thousands of mathematicians in the US. I am sure many have kids. How many of those kids do even a fraction of what Daniel did even when having every possible advantage? Today, young people have assess to more resources than ever, yet talent is one of those things that resists this trend of egalitarianism seem elsewhere. More resources means that the super-talented will pull way ahead of the untalented or only moderately talented.

The Web apps really suck with quite lot for a number of things:

- integration with plugins such as endnote.

- section breaks.

- referencing other internal parts of the same doc.

- contents table generation.

- creating custom heading styles with custom indentations that are reflective in TOC.

- the list goes on.

It's obviously a difficult task to take 32 years of development and port it to the browser.
I'm on the 11th gen board running Fedora 36 and everything worked fine out of the box. The UX for upgrading the BIOS was a little clunky, but that goes for all Linux distros. The only issues I've experienced have involved the mechanical components on the keyboard, and support was quick about sending me replacement.
Lots of things are more damaging to society than weed, though -- as a non-smoker, I can't really find much to object to, in the behavior of people high on weed, they usually just act chill and a little goofy. If we're going to hide the existence of weed shops, we definitely should do the same to liquor stores. And I'd also rather hide the existence of some financial services I find objectionable -- payday loans, pawn shops... we might want to talk about investing in general, really, just let me invest in paint companies first though, those Wallstreet buildings have a ton of windows.
I'm pretty convinced that there's no set of metrics that can effectively capture productivity and business goals without being gamed. It seems to me that the only effective management system is a "web of trust" style system where middle managers have a lot more autonomy to make decisions based on their own judgement. Unfortunately it's hard to legally CYA if something goes wrong with that kind of setup and it has other vulnerabilities like being manipulated by sociopaths.

Overall, managing people at scale is always going to be a hard problem and it seems unlikely that technology will ever offer a satisfactory solution.

> It's the heart of why Lisp is so hard to implement.

Lisp is hard to implement? The list processing core is very small and relatively easy to implement.
There's more to it, unfortunately. As if it wasn't obvious, I've seen private studies confirming that balloon/bubble/whatever comic-like interface was carefully invented to limit people's attention timespan and granulate thoughts.

For example, on your average phone you have 3-4 short messages and TONS of empty space around. You don't have the whole line of conversation before your eyes, you have ridiculous limits to text width and height, etc.etc. which makes it irritating to read and write something longer than "Hi", forcing you to write very short messages. (I won't go deep into this, to not to be instantly labeled a conspiracy theorist, but it has enormous psychological impact, not just UX).

That's an understatement. The mobile app is... frankly, kind of a garbage can of usability issues imo, but I love the desktop app, it's pretty great. But until they fix the mobile app I just can't use it.

I'd like to see the mobile app bridge the gap between typical mobile note taking apps and the desktop Obsidian app. Make it easy to create a new note like you would in any other note app, save it where it makes sense to save it, make sync easy to setup, etc. Probably asking too much, but ugh... the mobile app is so bad.
"Using your/their own product" is six syllables. Dogfooding is half that.

Well, yeah, because N95 masks are all about particulate filtration performance and not necessarily VOC neutralization. The terpenes in weed are volitile organic compounds, something which a different type of air filtration/purification handles.

Cocaine creates a very strong short-lived dopamine response in the brain. It feels really really good, for a few minutes. Then you want to do more. You don't really want to do anything else.

Eventually you run out, and coming down is not fun. Not as bad as opiates but much worse than weed or psychedelics.

People can get very addicted to it, but you need a lot of money to really build up a serious habit.

People must smoke very little where you live or smoke discreetly. Even here in Sweden where there are not that many weed smokers I can smell it all the time during the summer when out running. During the winter I might smell it once per week or once every other week due to people having their windows closed and people not hanging out in parks.

Weed smell does not bother me (I think it would be annoying if a neighbour smoked all the time) but it is very smelly.

To clarify: The misunderstanding lies in the reconciliation of pre-ban tax receipts and post-legalization tax-receipts and how they would be materially different if taxing is still taxing.

1) Black markets create higher prices. (increased risk = increased return)

2) Prices go up potential tax receipts go up.

3) Banning free market activity allows for the elimination of current competitive producers. (reduced supply increases price if demand holds steady)

4) Banning free market activity allows for later legalization of winners through licensing. (kickbacks)

5) Regulation through legalization creates government jobs which increases political power.

> … these databases…

Can you clarify? From the article it sounds like this is some kind of “blacklist” database (sort of like a “known spammers” list) that is somehow is used in the industry to deny traffic to certain domains. Is it a government database?

Edit: It sounds like these databases are owned/maintained by Meta:

Meta further argued that, even if true, any decisions to penalize OnlyFans’ competitors would have been protected by the company’s First Amendment rights, and the limited liability protections offered by Section 320 of the Communications Decency Act
I strongly believe in the next five years *product engineers* will become the most adaptable, hireable and valuable employees in fast moving software orgs. Admittedly not startups.

A lot of the MTA's budget is spent on interest on their debt (about $4 Billion / year). Page 23 of your report shows they currently have about $45 Billion in outstanding bonds.

It's hard to blame the average passerby for harboring contempt for TikTok. I joined at one point and the content they show "brand new" accounts trends extreme. I assume they do it to find the edges of the new users' comfort zone, but I don't blame anyone who takes one look and says "eff this". My feed got much more tolerable after a few days of periodic swiping, but I uninstalled it a long time ago and have no interest in returning.

To be honest I care more about the high iq kids interested in math who come from poor or working class families that either won’t be identified or will be identified but not much can be done for them given the lack of resources. Plus this doesn’t negate that someone of a similar IQ may accomplish less / seem less impressive at an early age due to such disadvantages.

That seems to happen to some people. The longer they use it the bigger the jerk they become. My theory is it triggers you to be on high alert all the time so all the slights most people shrug off, do not get shrugged off and they slowly become a jerk.

The downsides to many of these drugs is we have scant data on long term use because they are forbidden so the study of it is low. So we end up with a lot of anecdotal data (both for and against).

When I've heard of this kind of thing working it's almost always informal and not pushed down from upper management. That also makes it very fragile as losing a few key people means the "startup" just gets absorbed into the larger culture.
Tell HN: Interpreted languages aren’t always faster when running short programs
Python has a reputation for being slow in execution time. But when it comes to simple scripts, if you time a NodeJS counterpart, the overall execution is quicker.

This is likely because V8 is a very large VM where startup time isn't as critical of a scenario in a browser.

If this is true, I wonder if there is a future in traditional interpreters and languages beyond Python, or everything will just compile to WASM.

Just something to think about next time your shell scripts contains 10 calls to NodeJS.
Canadian working in health care IT here, along with a clinical license (kinda a hybrid role).

As I understand it, a US non-profit hospital could relatively easily hire me under h1b (no caps for non-profits), or via TN1 through the clinical license if the position requires that.

But to get that clinical license usually requires internship hours/tests in the licensing state.

How does that work for TN? Would they hire as a physiotherapist student or intern and TN would be granted to move and work with that? And I guess I would want to get fully licensed by time of TN renewal?

Shell of a home going for $765K in Oakland
One of my top 10 most memorable nights is when I was lying on my exes bed completely drunk and high on a massive dosage of cocaine with practically zero tolerance for it while he was having a cokehead conversation in the kitchen with the acquaintance who brought the cocaine. I was listening to music, my heart was beating very fast and it just felt so damn good.

Yet I never went for it again, because I hate cokeheads: People with specific goals desire specific drugs. If you are socially awkward and want to be close to people, you will love ecstasy, because it makes you feel love, loved and close to others. Cocaine is for people who want to feel like the smartest, the best, the most liked, the king of the world! Perfect for nervous start up founders, bankers and other undesirables I suppose. Cokeheads like to stand in circles on the toilet, babbling shit while each one thinks he is spouting the highest wisdom. Also, it's expensive and you can snort away HUNDREDS of euro on a binge that can take DAYS at a time, while one hit of ecstasy is... 10€.

I am all for legalization, but I know there are people that can't control their addiction and spend all their money on it until their life breaks apart. I wouldn't know how to engage an enemy of legalization in regards to this topic.

It's not at all clearly written. As written it's simply ungrammatical: the comma after "militia" is a syntax error.

Such nitpicking would ordinarily be unimportant, but given that the purpose of the entire prefatory clause is unclear, it completely undercuts any notion that the entire thing is "one of the more clear written" (as the GP said). It makes it impossible to tell whether it's intended to be a limitation or an explanation (which none of the other amendments have or require).

As you say, many of the words are also ambiguous. But for a piece of law whose interpretation is a matter of tens of thousands of deaths per year, one would expect it to at least be grammatically valid.
> Lots of things are more damaging to society than weed, though

That's not an argument. I live in a metro. I rarely see ads for booze EVERYWHERE. TV, sure. Sometimes even the radio. But billboards? No, not really.

I see ads for weed EVERYWHERE. I can't recall the last time I saw an ad for a liquor store.

They aren't treated the same by society. Weed seems to be able to have complete freedom, while booze is still forced to be hidden. I'm for hiding both in the best possible way. If you want it, seek it out.
