>people on H1B already have to prove they are being paid above the average market. They can't hire a senior engineer for 50k a year for example.

Companies that hire H1B's often 'downrank' employees to roles they are overqualified for in order to reduce salary requirements.

>Second, not all industry has high profit margins like software. Places like biotech or semiconductor can't afford 250K for a single worker,

If the industry cannot afford it, perhaps they shouldn't hire H1bs? How else, other than compensation, would you decide who provides the most economic value?

>Third, if H1B is given based purely on salary, then company won't bother with H1B anymore. Imagine what happen if suddenly half the company on market no longer care about having a H1B program.

A country's laws exist for the benefit of it's CITIZENS. I personally believe that the US H1B program is exploitative and should be ended, and our legal immigration system should be reformed. You need a worker? They get a green card, and can go to any company they please. That worker should also be automatically eligible for citizenship after ~ 5 years of paying taxes and staying out of trouble.
The creation and implementation of the Massachusetts health care system had little to do with Mitt Romney other than him trying to outdo Senate President Robert Travaglini's initial proposal for reducing the number of uninsured people in the state and later attempting to veto parts of the proposed legislation such as making employers contribute towards their employees coverage, letting legal immigrants with jobs use the system and providing dental care to those in the lowest income brackets. "Romneycare" was a pejorative term used by other Republicans to attack Romney when he was going to run for President.

The group responsible for the actual legislation was the Affordable Care Today Coalition which consisted of a lot of different interests:

I, for one, hate working on projects where there is no clear leader. One thing that managers do is be the clear leader for the people under them.
In Poland changing location of the job or other important characteristic of the job requires employee's agreement and signing an annex to the contract (yes, every employee must have a contract here). If the employee does not agree, then of course the contract may be terminated but the employer is considered at fault in that case which has some legal implications same as with layoffs, e.g. stating the reason, notifying in advance, paying proper severance package etc.
The problem is in a democracy someone stepping up does nothing, you need a solid majority of people to step up which is were the problems begin unfortunately.
"Pushed remaining engineers to the extreme to finish tasks. Pipped when they couldn't."

The management grift continues and at no point is one asking if the presence of that manager helped the engineering services they were responsible for.
My understanding is they are two seperate projects within cpython and don't necessarily have the same people working on them.

I agree with you that if it was one or the other, most use cases are gonna be better met with straight up faster single threaded code. But why not have both?
That requires setting up an entirely different service and somehow keeping it in perfect sync with the database, and along with all of the memory it requires.

And you've still got to decide how you're going to pick random ID's from an array of tens of millions of elements that are constantly having elements deleted from the middle. Once you've figured out how to do that efficiently, you might as well skip all the trouble and just use that algorithm on the database itself.
I really enjoy the use of pixel art to convey some message, this and the LLM agent simulation[1] are great examples.

Whats funny is Americans are so adamant that their standards of living have been dropping for 30 years, but then support unfettered immigration.

I sure hope this nonsense gets downvoted like the trolling it is.

Immigration into America is extremely fettered. Ask anyone who's actually done it.
The more hardboiled the detective story, the more they are willing to seek non-socially sanctioned retribution. It's kind of funny because Father Brown partially refutes both parent and GP: the police never arrest the right guy, and the priest is neither conflicted nor in need of self-discovery, and is motivated mostly by a need to carry through God's mission of forgiveness through repentance.

There are other aspects that you're both missing. One is the puzzle aspect: Detective Conan is almost entirely these kind of alibi and murder weapon tricks. There's only so much you can do in 25 minutes to characterize, after all.

The other aspect in common is dealing with the problem of evil, specifically what drives people to the edge, to the ultimate transgression. So often I'll spend more time thinking about the perps than the detectives.
The loss of the individual mandate also probably plays a big role.

Constructive dismissal doesn't mean the company has to continue employing you remotely, even if you could win.

Sorry, but YNABs transfers are bordering on hostile to the user. Unless things have greatly changed very recently, then YNAB would double all my auto transfer postings (I auto transfer money biweekly/monthly to vehicle maintenance, property tax, annual insurance bills, discretionary, house maintenance and a few registered accounts like retirement, my kids education etc). YNABs process here proved to require constant reconciliation. Not only that, but further placing postings for capital gains would make it throw a tizzy.

YNAB is basically completely useless as far as anything beyond an extremely extremely rudimentary single user budget.

> America still has an outstanding amount of industrial capacity.

Small arms ammunition manufacturing is controlled by a very small number of players that are incentivized to keep production capacity low.

There is enough production to meet government demand, but law enforcement and civilian markets are seen as a pure profit center since ammo is an at-any-price purchase. Shortages fuel increased demand and higher prices, while production costs stay flat.
They absolutely do exist in Europe.

Not their actual work, the tangential stuff like sitting over your shoulder, making awkward small talk, making sure you're "really working" and all the other nonsense.

A ton of these people are powertripping goofs and they can't power trip nearly as effectively when their employees are remote. And, even to the degree they can, it isn't nearly as enjoyable for them outside of real exchanges when they get to enforce their presence and authority in person in uncomfortable ways.

I absolutely loathe this garbage. As a general rule I work odd hours, some days I work for barely an hour, other days I work from sunup to sundown. "Am I really working" changes drastically depending on the work day it happens to be, and my remote managers know this. I remain accessible for meetings during office hours but "am I working" at any given point in the day? Who fucking knows.

You know what they do know? My assignments are completed on time, usually early, my work is excellent, and I show up when needed. If you need to know more than that, you're a meddling manager and I wouldn't work for you if I could possibly avoid it.
Great, but please include other vulnerabilities, including exploits, like mine in 1999 [1]:

In the xterm there is a feature to change the title of
the window. You can change the title of the window sending one of the escape codes of the
xterm.
(linux: man console_codes)

By Example:

ESC]2;This is my Xterm^G

This escape code changes the xterm's title to "This is my Xterm"

Obviously You can do the same using the kvt (Kde Virtual Terminal).
But the kvt has a buffer overflow. If the size of the new title of the
window is big enough then the kvt will do a core dump.

This bug follows the "reverse exploit" line, if some
program sends
this escape code to the kvt.
For Example, When someone connects to any ftp server and the server sends
the Welcome Message, It will be easy to exploit this bug changing the
Welcome Message (in the .message file) to one with this
escape code and
to cause a buffer overflow.

Another example where someone can cause a buffer overflow in your machine is
simply doing "cat hosts" where hosts may be a file that
you received
by mail containing the "change window escape code".

This bug shows some of the kvt's security problems being exploited via
a "reverse exploit" or a exploit sent directly to your
terminal
(if the attacker can write to your kvt)

If this bug is exploited, then the attacker can obtain
the privileges of the kvt's owner and execute some arbitrary code as this user.

[I found after] This bug was reported to the kde team by Larry Granroth
in January.
(http://bugs.kde.org/db/33/332.html)

The new kde's version doesn't have this bug in the
kconsole
Kvt was replaced totally by kconsole.
But the RedHat 6.0 installed with KDE has this bug.

It isn't a race. China's already lost and has no hope of winning. The reason you don't hear about it is because entirely too many people make entirely too much money pontificating over it.

China has the oldest population in the world.
The highest youth unemployment rate in the developed world.
Millions more men than young women to marry them to.
A leader that "disappears" anyone who tells him something he doesn't want to hear.

They're done for and they've been done for, for some time. They have no chance to turn around their situation because the Chinese people are stridently - hilariously - racist and xenophobic. How could they not be? They're bombarded with propaganda nonstop from the CCP. Buying all the real estate in America they can, loading up on US Government bonds, and stealing all the IP in the world can't save them - because they don't have enough young people to keep it all going.
Both is not really on the table. Getting rid of the Gil will slow down single threaded code.
I consider all internet neobanks totally unreliable and never trust them with large sums. However, Wise could be quite useful in some cases. For example, last year I needed to rescue my money from Turkish bank. My contractee send it there by mistake, their accounting didn't receive my request to use another bank.

Turkish bank was not providing an ability to just SWIFT money to another country. But I was able to convert to Turkish lira, then transfer it to Wise lira account,convert again and send SWIFT to my bank. Despite double conversion and three transfer fees I lost less than 2.5% of total amount. The alternative was to fly to Turkey and bring back the cash (including airport red corridor fuss).

Needless to say, I did this transfer in several batches with several days in-between. I would never trust internet neobank with more than $5000 equivalent.
Millions just walk over the border, they either get across without our knowledge or we give them a cell phone and a court date a few years in the future before we then release them into the interior. Seems pretty unfettered.

What's funny is nobody said India, and here you go talking about India.

I don't know why you deny Indian racial discrimination. There's a huge problem with Indian's discriminating. Not only discrimination against non-Indians, discrimination based on caste/skin color of other Indians.

It's a huge problem. I've seen it run rampant in every single IT Department or tech firm I've worked at which leverage offshore & H-1B employees.
> Employees generally don't have contracts.

Every tech company I've ever worked for in the US except very small one, I had an explicit contract with. Had to negotiate the language in one, actually.

But in the US, it's not generally around the nature of the job or the ability to fire you (since employment is at-will), but involves things like who owns the intellectual property you produce (your employer), vacation policy (e.g. whether you'll be paid for unused days when you leave the company), reimbursement for relocation, possibly arbitration, and so forth.

Quick edit: And it's also not generally for a specific position, for specific work, in a specific location, or anything like that -- since all of that is expected to potentially change over your course of employment with them. So it's unlikely that there would be a remote work provision either way. Remote work is just something that usually falls under regular company policy, not contractual guarantee.
The company just has to actually care about the security of peripheral systems like this that aren't directly a part of their product offering. Okta has more than sufficiently smart admins who can prevent session tokens from being stolen, but I'm willing to bet their attention is devoted 95% at least to Okta itself and not their external help desk that they probably don't even run themselves. Attackers will always find your weakest link, whatever you think is too insignificant to devote effort to.
And yet you provide no proof of immigration status, just racism. The very idea that an immigrant could be a permanent resident, or gasp as citizen nowhere in your brain.

> That's why salaries don't change at random, week-to-week.

The reason employers don't change salaries "at random" is because that's ridiculous and employees would leave.

Companies can and do change people's salaries. There are news stories of companies giving people 10% pay cuts across the board lately. Do you really think they're going around and kindly asking everyone permission to reduce their salary?

> It's also why when one accepts a raise or promotion, both parties sign a new contract.

I have never once signed any papers when receiving a raise, promotion, or title change.
Terminal multiplexers like tmux need to create a pseudo-TTYs otherwise they couldn’t multiplex your terminal.

My shell also creates PTYs on some rare occasions too. I’d prefer not to because it’s messy but sometimes there’s no way around it if you want your command line applications to behave like they would on a TTY whilst still having your utility capture that applications output as if it were writing to a pipe.

This is a limitation of TTYs.

The most annoying part of it all is that creating a PTY differs from one Unix-like OS to another. So it’s definitely not a rabbit hole developers go down happily.
Most H1-B are paid around %10 percent less than citizens.

Why should a software dev in SF being paid 150k$ be considered as good a candidate compared to one being paid 400k$? Why do you call it a "high-skilled" visa, and then argue for the bar to be "average"

> Second, not all industry has high profit margins like software

If they cannot pay enough, maybe they should not be hiring international workers citing a shortage.

> Third, if H1B is given based purely on salary, then company won't bother with H1B anymore.

So, is there no shortage of tech workers? Certainly international MIT PhDs will still be in demand?
>Will government make ice more expensive?

Two things are going to happen:

Cars in general are going to continue becoming more expensive (it's still functionally illegal for any American automaker to turn a profit on anything smaller than an SUV- gas or electric- the only automakers that still make normal cars are those that come from countries where trucks are largely impractical). Safety standards will increase to the point where cars simply cannot pass them, because electric SUVs weigh at least a half ton more than their gasoline counterparts hence even more accommodation will need to be made for them.

Additionally, electricity will become more expensive to match what gasoline used to cost. Remember, natural gas generation forms the overwhelming majority of new installations now (it's cleaner and cheaper than coal), and there's nothing stopping obscene taxes from being applied after the fact to that, either- especially since those generators are just replacing coal plants rather than increasing base load generation capacity. The whole "but my car can store power" thing is going to crater its battery longevity should that become necessary; developed countries should not intentionally make their grids as unreliable as South Africa's, but they're going to try anyway.

>EU is already backpedaling on goals for all electric.

Germany fucked around and found out that it's hard to run an industrial base without a steady supply of Russian natural gas or French nuclear energy. A government's concern about climate obviously takes a back-seat to concerns about not getting deposed by a population that values being able to afford to eat and keep the lights on today and tomorrow over slightly-cooler temperatures in 50 years, and "let's not destroy our money printing industrial base" is a perfectly valid conclusion for them to make when both of those inputs functionally disappear.
