Alright? With the start of the war, I and my twin brother, actual human beings, ended up on the different sides of the border, with different passports. We both been to Bolotnaya, Maidan, and many other places together. Both of us risked our lives, torture, and jail. But somehow one of us is not like the other to you, just because one has a fork and another a two-headed chicken on a piece of plastic.

> there is a distinction that probably escapes most native citizens here: they are talking about EB2 visa, not H1B.

> Often, it requires an advance degree and higher qualification than H1B too, PhDs or experienced masters.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but the PERM process applies when H1B holders seek to gain permanent residency too - at least that's been my experience. It also applies to the L1 etc:

https://www.lawfirm4immigrants.com/h-1b-green-card-transitio...

PERM certification is required to get a GC on an H1B (it's not needed to get an H1B, just required when the H1B holder seeks to get permanent residency).

There's another side to this story that the media reporting almost never mentions on this; many in the PERM process have lived in the USA for a long time and established families, children, communities etc. To deny them during PERM literally means in many cases to ship them and their American children "home" to a country they may not have seen for 20 years. In some cases the American kids won't even be able to speak the main language of their parent's birth country.

The solution as always is pretty simple - we need to divorce immigration status from employment - the processes should not be linked. This would at a stroke remove incentives for less scrupulous employers to abuse the system too.

Well said @ThomasRooney.

There may be other contexts where pure LLM codegen could work well, but I haven't really encountered them personally yet.
> Between the industry astroturfing and the splinterd advocacy, "net neutrality" is almost as meaningless as "fake news".

I have to disagree with this. There's a very clear meaning, and the 2015 FCC rules for wired connections put it succinctly.

No blocking or throttling of legal content, and no paid prioritization.

The issue with LTSC is it (afaik) sucks fkr gaming, with a lot of missing stuff for dx12 and so on.
Sure. Theguardian and the bbc. I opine that news sources outside of a country yet well interested in the events of a country tend to be the most objective. In this case the UK. Al-jazeera is ok but they are very biased in middle eastern events in which the US often is involved.
What? So you’re just going to blame the guy in the $5000 suit? COME ON!
Pessimism is believing that there is no possible positive future for humanity. I don't get how rejecting one option is the same thing. How, again, rejecting one option due to clearly presented reasons is authoritarian is also beyond me.
Yes really. If the mission calls for x kg of bombs then a plane that carries x/2 kgs is insufficient and you'll need to send two planes.

I've been using Linux exclusively at home for going on five years now (with the only exception being for Android rooting apps, which is infrequent).

It has been moderately painful, but for a while now I consider it less painful than dealing with Microsoft's MBA-team's multi-year long stream of howlers.

I use Pop!OS as my primary desktop, Debian for servers, and have a separate Ubuntu machine for gaming that very rarely gets used unfortunately. I also think that Pop would do the job for gaming.

Depends. For me, being in home is much better option than standing in a queue with unknown waiting time just to get the previlige of eating in a restaurant. Most people go to resturant not as neccessity but a optional visit to spend good time. And this solution takes away good time.

I agree for places like doctors visit though. Everyone should stand in queue rather than a limited reservation.
Weren't Apple one of the ringleaders in the conspiracy to suppress wages between the large tech companies a few years back?
Especially when they hadn’t even made any money on the scam, according to the article. What’s the angle here?

It’s a bit far-fetched I suppose, but the only possible explanation I can see for all of this is that this is an attempted (but bungled) insurance fraud scheme on the part of Bokksu. Especially given the conclusion of the article, where it turns out that a Bokksu subsidiary was in charge of handing off the shipment to the supposed trucking company. I wonder if there were actually Kit Kats in the shipment at all…

The fact that more than half of this essay resides inside the unclosed double brackets is either a mean joke or a suspense-building trick.
Why not? As long as it's not deceptive, seems ok to me. Trademarks don't mean absolute ownership of a word.

I'm not a huge fan of advertising in retail, but even in offline retail, manufacturers/distributors are paying for shelf space, either directly in dollars or offset from the product cost / managed through other terms. Having your product accessory or competitor shelved nearby a more well known product is helpful; ads in a retail website are analogous to that.
I built a no-code, serverless platform and intend to use AI to compose the HTML components together. ChatGPT seems to be good at this based on initial tests. It was able to build a TODO app with authentication which syncs with back end in the first try using only HTML tags. My platform allows 'logic' to be fully specified declaratively in the HTML so it helps to reduce complexity and the the margin for error. The goal is to reduce app building down to its absolute bare essentials then let the AI work with that.
Sure, lots more people (maybe most? I don't know) use phones/tablets in place of a desktop. I still don't call my phone a desktop.

As for what is keeping Windows relevant, I would bet gaming is just a blip on the radar. Corporations, especially larger ones not in the tech market, like to use Windows for user machines (also applies to governments).
So if this happened a week ago, then this would've been worse? What fortuitous timing.
Dual-intent just means that you're allowed to be interested in permanent residency. If you have a B-2 visitor visa, for example, customs won't let you into the country if you tell them you're hoping to stay. The actual process of permanent residency has to come from a separate program, such as the PERM one Apple used here.
Move to Europe!
Exactly.

There is no substitute for real-time when you're doing creative work.

That's why GitHub Copilot works so well; that's why ChatGPT struck a chord with people—it streamed the characters back to you quite fast.

At first, I was skeptical too. I asked myself “what about Photoshop 1.0? They surely couldn't do it in real-time.”. It turns out that even then you needed it. Of course, compute wasn't there to do a simple translation of all rasterized pixel values that form an image within a layer, but there was a trick they did: they showed you the outline that would tell you, the user, where the content _will_ render if you let the mouse go.

But Tristan never got paid anything, and came right out and told the person he was a scammer before telling him exactly where to find his freight and never tried to extract any money from the victim.

So either he's a scammer with a heart of gold and didn't want a bunch of chocolate to go to waste, or he's in on it somehow with the storage facilities.
Suspiciously convenient for filling an insurance claim to have a direct admission of fraud.

I certainly hope so! Apple's App Store has repeatedly had ridiculous rejections which stifles innovation, and their policy of not allowing apps to purchase outside the App Store (such as for Kindle and Netflix) is entirely customer unfriendly.

Nothing changes for people who want the full security, but for others it allows a massively better device with the tradeoff of lower security.
Does anyone remember "information wants to be free"? Attributed to Stewart Brand, but expounded on by Richard Stallman as (credit Wikipedia):

> I believe that all generally useful information should be free. By "free" I am not referring to price, but rather to the freedom to copy the information and to adapt it to one's own uses ... When information is generally useful, redistributing it makes humanity wealthier no matter who is distributing and no matter who is receiving.

Converting the free information into property is the problem. It's not harvesting the forest or the underground rocks into property, it's collecting the output of people and making it not their own.

> Apple just makes too damn much money to worry overmuch about salaries.

Apple is a publicly traded company whose shareholders would not tolerate overpaying for labor.

Further: Apple was caught colluding with other major tech industry employers with regards to hiring/salary.

So please do go on about how Apple doesn't care about labor costs.

And also, look at the wages and benefits for Apple Store employees which are shit for the level of technical expertise they're expected to have and the products they're selling (there's usually at least some correlation between compensation and the cost of goods being sold - obviously not anything approaching linearity.)

Then look at how Apple store staff are starting to unionize, much to the terror of their Head of Retail, who likely makes half a million dollars a year in cash compensation alone - $250/hour, which is more than ten times the base wage for a retail employee (supposedly now $22/hour.)

Your naivete is pretty stunning. There isn't a single corporate employer on the planet who doesn't do everything they can to minimize labor costs.
"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem."
The unstated truth here is that when you advertise in order to get PERM certification, you really don't actually want to get applications. The 99% scenario is you've already got an employee who is on a non-immigrant visa, that you're invested in, and that you want to get onto the green card trajectory.
from https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04378 it sounds like its a form of distillation of an SDL model. So im guessing it can't be directly trained, but once you have a trained diffusion model you can distil a predictor which cuts out the iterative steps.

While it can do 1-step the output quality looks a ton better with additional steps.
According to a study from CargoNet the total theft of cargo containers in 2022 was 1,778 units for a total of about $220m. By comparison about 10,000 cargo containers fall off of ships every year.

The problem is well below the threshold where anyone would pay a dollar more per container to deal with it.
Musk clearly has no idea what Banks stood for, because he has deluded himself that his brand of libertarian capitalism is somehow liberatory and progressive when it's just papered-over elitist free market absolutist hogwash, from someone who read too much Ayn Rand as a teenager and never grew out of it.

Just like a lot of folks on this group. Bring on the downvotes! I know you got 'em!

... And because he has the usual North American biases about what socialism -- let alone communism (small c) -- is he can't even recognize a self-avowed communist when he's standing right in front of his face.

Probably because seizing the entire warehouse is an awful and unjust idea.

First, Amazon's warehouse hold merchandise from other companies. Why should they be punished because Amazon or a different company is selling counterfeit goods.

Second, do the retailers know they are selling counterfeit products? There is a huge difference between intentionally deceiving people and getting hoodwinked by thieves. For example, if Amazon's employees decided to buy counterfeit and promote them, that would be wrong. However, what happens if an Amazon employee is tricked and thinks they are buying legitimate goods but are really buying fake goods. In the later case, Amazon is a victim of fraud and should not be punished.

Finally, punishments should be proportional to the crime. If I cause $5 worth of damage, I should not pay a $10,000 fine. Note I have noticed a lot of online posters push for draconian punishments and that is not just or helpful.
Because they don't want to be compelled by nonsensical immigration restrictions to fire and deport an existing employee they're happy with and hire someone else in their place.
> I am surprised that there isn't a more niche advertising provider for the more controversial sites

There are (specifically for NSFW websites, at a minimum) but they aren't as lucrative to the sites themselves. Fewer advertisers are willing to do business with random small ad exchanges (for a variety of reasons, fraud among them) and the ones who do don't generally spend much.

Remember: most ads online are bought and sold via auctions. If demand/competition is low, the highest bid won't be much.
No, you should be happy the CIA did nothing because even if they did you would not know about it. But if it so happens they did and you find out, you should feel angry but you should not pretend it is business unusual. Of course espionage is not election interfernece neccesarily unless you consider things like leaking info to french or US media interference (legit info not disinformation). Friendly countries spy on each other to protect each other not to harm. Like anything intent, context and relationship is important.

It's not ok for people to touch your butt for example unless people are your chosen sexual partner. It's not ok to kill a person, unless your intent is to defend yourself from mortal peril. It's not ok to spy on your friend, unless you are concerned your friend might commit suicide. In some cases it makes the act excusable and in others it makes the anger less inflamed.

"It takes all kinds to make a world" isn't just a saying about polite tolerance.

It isn't altruistic to value one person's life more than another for their demonstrated ability to contribute what you think is best. That is literally egocentric selfishness, which is pretty much the opposite of altruism. I think the word you want is "utilitarian".

A person's ability to contribute is also context dependent. Woz was an innovator, but he also got lucky in multiple respects to have contributed what he did. Picking "Golden Children" tends to have negative sociological and innovative effects.
I don't dine at places expensive enough to have encountered this issue. But I do like to dine frequently at high-demand restaurants. The issue I've noticed in NY is that the online reservation platforms have made it trivial for restaurants to require a credit card and charge massive cancellation fees. I've seen mid-range places with $50 fees per person if the reservation is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.

The solution to the above shitshow is the same as the solution to these scalpers. The telephone. Few places will collect your credit card information over the phone for a reservation. And places dealing with scalpers can take names and inform guests that they will need to present ID on arrival. Not an entirely frictionless solution, but I think most people won't mind showing their ID if they are given advanced notice.

Apple would've had to create a specific OS update with a security hole the FBI could've exploited and distributed that.

Courts couldn't force them to do that -> FBI went another way. This was in the iPhone 7 era IIRC.

Currently their stuff is locked down even tighter and Apple has even less ability to hack anyone's phone. Barring a full-on backdoored software update targeted to a specific person - which they refused to do once already.
I hadn’t heard about this origin story of Japanese KitKat before and looked it up.

Kitto katsu! means "you will surely win" or "you will surely succeed".

So it is given as tokens for success in exams and the like.

Katsu for winning/succeeding also can be seen in Tonkatsu = pork cutlet (katsu is the Japanese "shortening" of cutlet), which is also offered as a success token.

Indeed, the AAIB report I had in mind is purely hypothetical.

There are other organizations better-positioned to publish a visually appealing, well-written preliminary report of a non-aircraft accident. But I like the AAIB style of having concise descriptions, clear illustrations, and succinct tabular data. I prefer it to the NTSB’s standard format, and do believe I will read some more of these.

If the PERM process at Apple is anything like what I saw at Facebook a couple of years ago, then all these “applicants” are actually people already working at the company on non-immigrant visas whom the company wants to retain.

There is no reason to assume that they’re being paid any less than others at Apple. They’re already in the country and have been doing the work for years. Why not give them a path to a green card? Why make the company jump through hoops like having to advertise a position that’s not actually open?

I’ll admit that I’m biased because I was in this process at one point. But the notion that I was taking the job of a native-born American was ridiculous because I had been doing the job in London before. So if anything, I brought a UK job to USA. And to turn that into a green card, the company would have to advertise the job on their website. It makes no sense.
