My situation:
- I am on an H-1B visa and working at BIG_TECH_CO
- I am in the final stages of my EB-2 green card application process, which is sponsored by BIG_TECH_CO. My I-140 was approved a few months ago, and I-485 is pending. BIG_TECH_CO's immigration lawyers have told me that they believe my priority date will become current in October, when the green card numbers refresh for the government's fiscal year.
- In mid September, my I-485 will have been pending for >6 months.

I would love your help understanding two scenarios. Specifically
- If I were to leave BIG_TECH_CO and join another company in October, would I be able to maintain my green card application according to AC21?
- Same question, but what would it look like to work for my own company instead?

From what I have been able to gather by reading online, I would qualify to transfer employers after six months. However, a few pieces are still unclear to me:
- If I switched employers, my understanding is that I would want to stay on my H1B until the I-485 is approved, to minimize risk in case the I-485 is denied. I assume that would be a fairly seamless process if I were to transfer it to another employer, but would I be able to transfer it to my own company?
- If I pursue a naturalisation application 5 years after the green card is granted, would the government look unfavorably on the fact that I moved employers so soon after the I-485 window has passed? My limited research has raised this as a concern, on the basis that USCIS grants green cards on the assumption that the applicant has the intent to be "permanently employed" by the filing party?
- Is there anything else I'm missing?

Please don't do that. People with different ideas aren't shills - sometimes people disagree with you, see things that you don't or just understand the situation differently.

It's a bullshit way to dismiss people's opinions.
I am definitely not trying to pinch, break, or otherwise contact your balls. I also don't want to ban you (or any other user who I assume is posting in good faith) without first giving you enough information to use HN as intended if you want to.

We're just trying to have an internet forum that doesn't suck—it's nothing personal! The problem we face is that large internet forums end up sucking by default - that's where the arrow of entropy points - so if we want to avoid that outcome, we need to spend a lot of energy to deflect it, and we need users to help with that.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong about posting unsubstantive/flamebait comments on the internet - there are other sites where that is common and expected. We're simply trying to play a different game here, and for that we have different rules*. Just like baseball rules say you can't tackle the pitcher, and football rules don't let you whack the ball with a stick, HN rules say not to be snarky, not to post flamewar comments, and so on (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

Btw, what you said about "changing others" is correct in a way - I post like this as a moderator because I'm trying to persuade users who are breaking the rules to change their behavior. (Not make them change - just persuade them that it's in their interest.) But you're wrong that this isn't doable—it does work sometimes. You decide whether or not it works in your case, of course, but HN has a long history of users switching to using the site as intended, once they understood why it was in their own interest to do so.

Here's why it's in your interest: HN is only worth visiting in the first place because we have these rules and most users follow them. Flamewar, for example, can be exciting for a while, but in the end it's just repetitive and boring. The idea of HN is to satisfy curiosity, and for that we have to avoid the snarky/flippant/sensational/indignant/etc. types of internet posting, all of which destroy the site for that purpose. It's in your interest to participate in the intended way, because then you're contributing to the reason why it's worth visiting at all. I'm sure you wouldn't leave fires burning in a campsite that you enjoy, or (less dramatically) drop trash in a pleasant park. The way we see it, asking people to play the intended game here and stick to its rules is sort of like that.

* this is also why I often ask people "Please don't do this here". It's not "please don't do this" or "it's wrong to do this" or "you're bad for doing this" - it's just "please don't do this here."

I've told this story before, but when I used to live by the ocean... you'd be absolutely shocked at the number of people who would come to the beach, set up a tripod, take 5 mins of pics or videos of themselves, then head off.

It is directly across from the exit to St Peters, so on the same wall that you enter in but at the other Edge.

TV Guide is tough. You have over 100 broadcast markets, each of which got their own magazine essentially, but before widespread adoption of ISSN, so even keeping track of which is which is tough. And the supported markets changed over the years too, so even if you figure it out for say 1984, in 1985 it's all mixed up again.

Then, most of these are missing. Archive.org's collection is thread-bare. For most calendar dates they only have one, and which market it is for is just random (though, it favors the big ones... California, NYC/NJ, etc).

After that, each page of listings is just bad. It's not as easily OCRed as more traditional multi-column magazines. The listings often don't make mention of which episode is being re-run, title only quite often. This affects afternoon cartoons on UHF quite a bit, since they'd do alot of the short film Looney Tunes and Woody Woodpecker. You don't get any information on pre-emption at all. No sports-going-in-to-overtime or President-Reagan-has-an-important-announcement-about-the-commies. Daytime soaps can probably be pieced together just from the date (but that isn't perfect over long stretches and mixups accumulate, the NY Times lost track of their issue number and by the time they noticed they were off by 5000).

Hell, I wonder how many different edited-for-tv edits of movies there are, for at least a few there might be more than one because there's more reasons to do it than just bleeping out profanity.
> Tying in to Instagram was what made it resonate with such a large audience

Resonate, or was simply them leveraging their current user base? I don’t think the use of an Instagram login and having your current contacts imported made it “resonate” with anyone. It was just a growth hack.
I still use tinydns, but I've moved on from dnscache to unbound.

djbdns was a great tool, clearly built with security in mind, and it forced you to understand how the whole system worked. It struggled with things added later like txt and srv records but they could still be added.

qmail was also well ahead of its time.
>> Tying in to Instagram was what made it resonate with such a large audience vs all the other Twitter clones.

This is false.

That's because the 90s were "peak freedom". I think partly because people were more "live and let live" and partly because social media did not exist yet, which is IMHO one of the causes of the current atmosphere of permanent outrage.
Also, the US has emitted much more of the total historical output (though I don't know how much of that affects us today) and is vastly more wealthy. If you're the wealthiest person in town, you can't ask the people in the poor neighborhood to make extra sacrifices. The US has a very serious responsibility.
Makes sense: they knew arbitrary mutability was a requirement but did not think it thru for the required keyword.
Small-time crime porn masquerading as news.

The biggest criminals get away with their crimes. Joe Manchin and most of COTUS (and SCOTUS and POTUS) are overtly corrupt, but are the just the facilitators of centimillionaires and billionaires who extract money by fraud and corruption by making it both legal and normalized.

Ask HN: Are Communication Studies Obsolete?
We live in an increasingly technological age of automation, remote work, and social media. Most office jobs are looking more like software dev jobs these days. In this world, pure organizational skills and "just the facts" are becoming prioritized over soft skills.

In so many ways, this is a huge improvement over the hazy and often manipulative communication styles of the past, but on the other hand it feels something is being lost. As the inflexible backbone of machinery props our society up, we work and live according to unyielding processes.

Marketing, mass media, and journalism are distrusted by default. Entire roles such as coordinators and managers seem less effective than ever and ripe for being replaced by chat bots on Teams that just summarize Jira for you and answer phone calls. Psychology and sociology often seem to be wild guesses. Talking to a therapist for some people seems like shaking a magic 8-ball that dispenses with medication prescriptions and thought experiments.

With all this in mind, does it seem to anyone else like the theories behind communication studies are completely inadequate? Does this seem more obvious as the world demands more information and fewer sentiments to live their lives?
You happened to luck out by choosing a career that's in demand (whether consciously or unconsciously), and are probably pretty good at it. Otherwise your story would sound very different. I am the same way, but straddle the professional world and the artistic world (trained / educated in both), and certainly appreciate the randomness involved and how much luck was involved in the fact that I happened to be interested in tech (and had the opportunity to pursue it when I did).

I have many friends without the same opportunities and I would be struggling just as much as them if it weren't for the tech bits (and a little bit of being in the right place at the right time)
And does your browser have settings which bypass or supplement the host's DNS configuration. Secure DNS (DoH etc) is great, but damn that's confusing when you first run across it. Not to mention how phones do it; you can't override a DoH DNS server when connecting to a VPN which offers internal DNS on Android, for instance.

This research won't matter for prisoners in the US.

We (Americans at large) send criminals to prison for punishment, not rehab. It's why we care so little about their treatment while in prison. Why we make rape jokes about prisoners. Why we rarely get angry about prisoners dying in prisons.

And that's when they aren't sources of revenue for private companies.

Yes, I'm to angry about this state of affairs to even begin to think it can be changed.
My advice is to do the renewal without having to go to the border to face capricious judgements by under trained by all powerful border staff. It is possible to do the renewal early and via mail at a main immigration office. Now this information could be dated and please seek the advice of Mr. Roberts for current methods.

The issue is that having per-session/transaction state on the server makes load balancing requests more difficult; especially when that state is long-lived.
Same. My last two androids literally didn't work as cell phones -- calls dropped all the time, SMS messages consistently failed to send, etc.

I guess now I'm an Apple person, but I didn't choose Apple per se... I just needed a phone that actually worked.

And switching platforms is so painful, I'm not going to switch back unless Apple shits the bed as badly as Android did.

> we’d read and generally have pretty lively discussions about a collection of “classic” systems research papers

Does anyone have the list of papers?

> we managed to kind of “industrialize” verification, taking really cool, but kind of research-y techniques for program correctness, and get them into code where normal engineers who don’t have PhDs in formal verification can contribute to maintaining the specification, and that we could continue to apply our tools with every single commit to the software

Is any of this open source?
I think this dismissive response is a pretty good example of why people are distrustful of startups/apps/etc. The person you’re responding to has almost definitely been burned by a shitty app copying everything on their clipboard…you care enough to respond and be a bit of an ass but not enough to defend your position or acknowledge the clear risk-benefit trade off here.
Oh gosh, I didn't know that. Thank you for sharing :( I really loved his blog. That's awful.
I consider myself a pretty frequent Twitter user. I don't pay and I've never run into the daily limit.
Got it! I've been meaning to check out Dithering anyway so I'll give that a listen.

> they effectively own and control a large percentage of all charging infrastructure in the world. Every other car company adopting their standard means they have a lot of customers that will pay them to charge at their stations (even independent of the licensing).

This is the argument I find interesting... IMO if everything does centralize on NACS, nothing (AFAICT) is stopping the really big players like bp, Shell, Exxon, etc from just outfitting their already-existing real estate, already-existing infrastructure with NACS. The petro-companies are ludicrously well capitalized, very sophisticated, and have tons of baked-in advantages. Memes aside, they're also already the biggest players in the energy transition anyway. Basically if I were investing in Tesla, I'd be curious why this doesn't just create a great opening for the huge huge players to mop the floor.

Again, consumers (and the environment, probably) win here, so I'm happy about it!

P.S. Also thank you for entertaining a thoughtful convo. Usually this question just attracts zealots and it doesn't get me closer to an answer. You did -- so thank you!
Or just the opposite. We don't need another social media platform
Yes and their web presence only very recently allowed you to upload from your computer. It was half baked on the web for a very, very long time.

Also, WhatsApp and Instagram still don’t have an iPad app. Given the scale of their users and the company’s resources it is unfathomable to me that they haven’t tried to make their products more seamless experiences across the devices users use. But then I remember it is Meta and I would be hard pressed to think of a more user-hostile company.
None of your examples are “murders”. They have been using USB-C in pretty much every non-iphone device for years, switching on a whim to USB-C would have just left a bad taste in the users’ mouthes (and millions of unused cables). RCS is just google’s fake open-source proprietary protocol with terrible security, I really don’t want any of that thank you very much.

Apple Tax is as bad as any other similar app store — they would be stupid to bust it deliberately, thankfully we have governments that will do their job here. With the EU rules it will become great.
"there really is no alternative if you want a decent cell phone in 2023" is just plain wrong.

I try to avoid lumping all of the android manufacturers together and treat them individually when comparing them to apple.

LG, Motorola, and Xiaomi are not as good as apple but Samsung is. Decent argument to be made for OnePlus, Google, and Asus matching apple as well.

Support is also great at an Apple Store. I walked in with a broken Apple Watch. A couple minutes later my Apple Care claim was taken care of, and 2 days later I had a replacement arrive on my doorstep.
You can turn Javascript off just like in normal Firefox.
They probably use react or a similar framework, so building it would require hundreds, if not thousands, of people working on it for years.
Reading at the comments here, I'm baffled to see all the people trying to find a reasonable justification for why they are not using it. (They didn't launch a web app, they didn't launch in Europe, they didn't do X, they should've done Y)

It should be a lot simpler. We should all have learned by now that any and every product from Facebook is radioactive waste.

Hopefully Threads is indeed DOA. Anyway, we should have been asking ourselves why is it that 100M people even managed to sign up in the first place and how to make sure they don't even try again.

This is ChatGPT again, over all Europe will be increasingly isolated from the rest of the internet because their politicians were tricked into thinking they had more influence over the forefront technology than they actually do: You can't be a steward of good policy from the back of the train, you'll just get kicked off the train.
How on earth do you even get to the conclusion that rough and tumble play is off limit for kids of single mothers? Those kids are much more likely to go unsupervised for extended periods of times and are also more likely to learn life skills earlier as they support their mother.
While there is something to the idea that making something that's illegal more illegal will help prevent it from happening, that isn't a silver bullet. So it's entirely possible that such things are happening in the UK also.
for social media though that's a pretty important end goal. If the people I want to follow aren't using it, then I don't want to use it either. It's like with messenger apps - the one that everyone else is using is the one that wins. And if they aren't using it and I am, then part of my use of the platform becomes trying to get the people I want to talk to onto the platform. It's not a silicon valley thing - it's a communications thing. "everyone is using it all the time" was an important end goal for the post office too, and highways and other shared infrastructure with network effects.
Can you elaborate? I don't know the relevance of the commit or what you mean.

It is normal for proposals, even very early ones that are not accepted, to be implemented before becoming a standard - that way there's an actual implementation to point to when saying "and it would work this way".

It isn't "proposal first, implementation later".
If you are interested in physical copies, I highly recommend "The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War" , and others in the Landmark series. I got a lot more out of it with all the maps and explanations. Very well done.

How specifically would you propose to reduce the rate of traumatic amputations in Ukraine? There are a wide variety of kinetic weapons being used beyond just landmines.
I'm not confusing it. I'm questioning if people are really more scheduled today.

Especially as we get to middle and high school. Many of us had jobs back then. Isn't uncommon for many small businesses to have a lot of help they use their children for. Not even going back to farms. Though, hard not to see all of the chores that many of those would have around the place as scheduled.

Edit: Tried to stealth fix, but I did flip a less to a more at the top there. Apologies for anyone that may respond to my mistake there.
