> the registration fee during the registration period starting in March 2024, will remain $10.

Yeah, every single outsourcing provider is going to enter all their employees and market whoever is selected for on-site assignments to their customers. The cost of entry is way too low and this attracts frivolous registrations.

Previously, it used to cost thousands of dollars before to prepare a full petition and only those employers with serious job offers applied for H1B.

E-ink's quality and refresh rates are inversely related. Whilst generally it's preferable to use a high-quality mode and slow (0.25 -- 4 Hz) refresh rate, refresh of as high as ~8 -- 16 Hz is possible. Video and animation quality here are not great but they are usable in a pinch.

For a relatively static GUI display (such as the Classic Mac), e-ink displays are in fact viable, and there are e-ink devices sold specifically as computer monitors:

For a demonstration of the capabilities of various e-ink displays (least capable are first), see: <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=KdrMjnYAap4>

I'd want a B&W, line- or halftone-oriented graphics, and relatively static window placement in general, with paginated rather than scroll-based displays (that is, content updates a full screen at a time rather than scrolling). It's not that scrolling isn't possible, it's just that it's really annoying. And there's a reason e-ink devices tend to use line drawings or etchings as demo / sleep screens (see Diaspora* post below for example).

I've written numerous times on HN about what the benefits and affordances of e-ink are, e.g.:

1 - I said it's poorly worded, I didn't interpret it that way. I could see how people would misinterpret it (as pointed out by the parent comment) and people did misinterpret it that way. Look at the other posts here. If someone posts a question in english and a bunch of english speakers misinterpret the question, it's poorly worded by definition.

2 - Exactly what parts of the question are nonsense under that interpretation?
fwiw, I agree with you (same reason i stopped using a Leap Motion controller) and users do not need to reach their arm out

I encourage everyone to read the official filing of the compensation package in 2018 and decide if it is misleading to the investors.

In particular, this part:

The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for recommending to our Board the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and determining the compensation of our other executive officers. Members of the Compensation Committee are appointed by our Board. Currently, the Compensation Committee consists of four members of our Board: Brad Buss, Robyn Denholm, Ira Ehrenpreis and Antonio Gracias, none of whom is an executive officer of Tesla, and each of whom qualifies as (i) an “independent director” under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and (ii) an “outside director” under Code Section 162(m).

> we will need legislation to protect the privacy we want from the government, and definitely from corporations. Let’s work toward that end.

I agree with the latter, but not the former. If you solve the commercial data privacy issue here, the entire problem is solved, because it is the root cause.

We don't need a law that prevents the government from buying records about your internet traffic. We need a law that prevents companies from selling it to anyone.

It's a useful hack. In JavaScript, there is no value that's both a string and an object. At runtime, it will just be a string. You can use it like a string and it will type-check, because it's a string plus some extra compile-time baggage, sort of like you subclassed the string type. ('&' is a subtype operation.)

When converting something to this type, it will fail unless you cast it, but it's a compile-time cast. At runtime, there's no conversion.

This is essentially "lying" to the type checker in order to extend it.
> There should be no cap for people who have received higher education degrees in the US.

Agree 100%. Student visas should convert to work visas automatically on graduation from an accredited institution and be good for at least five years.
Is the problem "working in VR" or is it "with a headset on", though?

I think it's completely reasonable to say that this stuff is only going to continue to get lighter and more comfortable every generation. What's that balance of interest going to look like when a headset's eventually got the same weight and form factor as, for example, big ski goggles?

Before, multiple companies could register the same person for the lottery, therefore increasing the odds for said person.

Great points! SQLite as an analogy is fantastic for its small footprint. Swift download, deployment, and testing significantly boost dev productivity. Moreover, the dependency-free single-binary can efficiently slash deployment and operational costs. In addition to its outstanding performance, Proton users are specifically requesting data streaming processing, routing, analytics, and actions at the edge or in a hybrid environment before sending to their centralized data warehouses. This stands out as unique capabilities compared to existing complicated stacks.

I think this is the main thing — plenty of other headsets showed how these aspects are problematic. I very much appreciate just how hard a problem things like hand tracking, distortion, etc. are to solve, but I was hoping (perhaps unreasonably) we’d see a break through in at least one of them. It also feels like Apple design choices got in the way somewhat. Two things that surprised me most are the FoV and limited DCI color space coverage — now I get why they didn’t readily share that spec earlier.
With OPT and STEM OPT that’s _sort of_ the case, albeit for 3 years, not 5.
If they can get near the form factor of Google Glass with good battery that will almost certainly be revolutionary. Just being able to have maps in AR, and not having to keep looking at your phone and look at buildings and immediately see rating/menu, train arrival times and so on. Probably many use cases with current AI as well.

I think USCIS is trying to fix one common misuse by certain applicants where he /she applies for H1B through more than one employers ( typically body shop companies) and tries to increase his\her odds of getting the visa. Sometimes the applicant gets more than one H1B visa and wasting the limited visas.
yeah, I've heard a bit about this- basically, it is technically legal right now to have multiple job offers from separate employers to get multiple H1B lottery tickets. The abuse comes from some shady operations, that will basically give you 3-10 "offers" from various consulting firms, where you'll be paid way less than market rate to work at any of them, with the idea being if you win a ticket from any then you trade off your potential salary for the H1b.

I remember being angry that my Moto Razr V3 had the power to run awesome software but as a teenager I didn't have an easy way to boot stuff up on it. IMHO it was a perfect phone, except there was no way to run what I wanted. The best I could do was program text messaging services and use those. They discontinued the phone rather than give consumers the freedom to just use the hardware. I thought the iPhone was dumb, but when the App Store came out that was game over. I really missed the convenience of having buttons and being able to text with my phone in my pocket, but at least it was consumer programmable... even if you had to pay a $100 premium to become a "Developer" in order to do so.

Eventually the Moto X came along. I thought it was the perfect phone. Its voice assist features worked better than most voice assist features even today. You could easily do everything you wanted to do with the phone in your pocket and your earbuds in.

It had the perfect size screen. It had a great ambient-on watch-face screen that looked nice sitting on your desk among clutter. The dimple in the back was a really nice touch, it made it like a worry-stone[0] in your pocket. It had a lower resolution, but I kinda liked that about it. I think Motorola was bought or something, but whatever the reason, the next phone in the series ditched every single thing that made the Moto X special.

Those two devices were both my favorite mobile computing devices, and probably the closest I've come to getting fan-angry about a company screwing up their own magic.

More to the point: you might have been able to see it at Motorola, but even looking back, I don't understand why Razr couldn't have won against the iPhone. The Razr was a surprisingly capable little machine!

I find it interesting that you dislike the combat in the originals but like Pokemon Stadium which only features combat (and horrid mini games).

Also I’m not really sure what exploring you’d want to do in those early games. I guess if you wanted to explore, I’d be annoyed by the constant fights, but that never occurred to me. The point of leaving a town was to get into a fight for one reason or another. That style of random fights outside of towns was also a staple of a lot of top down RPGs at the time.

I haven’t played a pokemon game in 20 years, but I think you might have been barking up the wrong tree a bit. Outside of the combat, there isn’t much to do. If you don’t like the combat, then it’s just not your game.

yep ... i'm generally downplaying Apple's "innovations" but I will say, there was huge scepticism that you could have a phone without a physical keyboard and Apple overnight turned that around. That was a real contribution, IMHO much bigger than anything in Vision OS so far.
There's been a massive problem of diploma mills, both in America, and even worse in Canada, where colleges have basically been admitting students for fake degrees for pay, just because it gets them work permits post graduation much more easily, as somewhat of a workaround Canadian immigration.

Canada recently has cracked down on (I believe undergraduate) student visas recently, with effectively a per-province cap. I'm not sure if Canada has a problem with diploma mills at the Master's level though.
So what happens now? Assuming the Delaware Supreme Court upholds the decision, will a new ex post facto pay package be negotiated?

Um... this is actually a calculation many people seriously do. The potential cost of devastating medical bills absolutely plays into the risk assessment of everything we do in America.

It's a 600+ grams headset with a battery on a leash for $3500. I wouldn't say the hardware is mainstream ready or fulfilling it's side of the contract yet.
Private and public; don't forget that there are many, many public colleges and universities in the US. And presumably this would be limited to accredited higher-education institutions; you couldn't just stand up Butts University, start issuing degrees in Flatulence and Cheekiness, and have met the criteria. And maybe it's not just anyone who graduates from a US institution; maybe limit it to certain levels of achievement, and/or certain fields that the US has interest in developing or maintaining competence or dominance in.

I get your objection about unelected/unaccountable, but this happens all the time, and is normal, expected, and unavoidable. The government very often reaches outside itself for expert opinions on things that it cannot or should not develop its own expertise in.

The current system is stupid. Educating foreigners in the US and then kicking them out (absent something with the intentions of a Fullbright, for example) is just bad policy.
businesses are granted existence for the American people.

sorry guy, saying businesses can just take your data and do the same thing as the government is delusional.

Yes, very funny. But they knew what they were doing when they named it that. There was a series of early computers named ILLIAC (because they were created at the University of Illinois and after ENIAC, a famous computer that was "the first" digital programmable computer by some definitions of those words). The illiac artery connects to the heart, so CARDIAC makes sense (also of course, it was made of cardboard)

This looks very interesting and I wish you guys the best. One suggestion - a nitpick usually that I wouldn't write, but because it's a language product, you want to give the right impression of your language skills:

In English, uni-, the prefix, means 'one'. For example, unidirectional doesn't mean 'all directions', it means 'one direction'. [0] The name of the app means something like 'one language' or 'one word'. Again, normally, who cares? But this is a language service and people need to perceive you as authorities on language whom they will trust. I read the name and thought, 'well maybe they are great programmers but they aren't using serious linguists'.

You might want omni-, such as Omniverbal, 'all words'; or ambi-, Ambiverbal, 'both words' (reflecting both languages, the learner's native language and the one they are being taught, and 'ambidextrous' - able to use both hands equally well). Both sound like fun words to me (but I'm not in marketing!).

[0] People sometimes think of uni- as all, I think because they think of the Universe and universal (from which I assume 'Univerbal' is derived). Perhaps another way of thinking of universe / universal is meaning 'the single complete thing' or 'the single thing containing everything'.

> overloaded with debt

As I understand, most of the debt issued by local gov'ts is RMB-denominated. The PBoC can easily assume (large) parts of this debt without large negative economic impacts. Other countries have done similar in the past by creating "bad banks" that are financed by the central gov't or central bank.
You could say that about literally any product. The most important factor that will determine success is the starting point. Initial conditions matter. I actually believe this a developer tool from start to finish. It will end of life a lot quicker than we expect. The real product is going to be lightweight glasses we wear all day. But when? How many iterations of the AVP to meet the developer needs for seeding this future product that might be 10+ years away?
And if you change the distribution, that answer is close to correct.

NB, "e-ink" is a special case of "e-paper".

The terms "e-paper" or "electronic paper" tends to be a generic label usually applied to electrophoretic displays, though there are numerous other technologies (Gyricon, electrowetting, interferometry, plasmonics).

E-Ink[tm] is a specific technology and trademark owned by E-Ink Corporation, covered by numerous patents, and to date has relied on electrophoretics.

I've addressed display characteristics in another comment to this thread here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39198053>.

I can assure you that if e-ink characteristics and strengths are addressed by UI/UX design, e-ink can be quite satisfactory and is often preferable to other display options.

Also, let's tak on religion. Do you want to know which was the actual meeting spot for people in Spain? Not the Church. Often, the taverns, wheat fields or the 'plaza' in the middle of a village.
People didn't had the same blind faith as in the US. It was more like a social tradition than actual rites, a showoff to display your wealth in holidays and how good you were against the village.

Also, the psychologyst forgot a clear point: back in the day people was drugged as fuck in order ot not kill itself:

- A pint of beer for breakfast, or a glass of wine. Totally fine to do against hard work, a meeting, or even for lunch.

- Women took mental related pills like M&M's in order to survive family duties.

- The weeked arrived, whohoo, everyone did the classical bar-roaming bar-shifting with 5 or 6 tiny glasses of wine before lunch. These might have been small, ok, now do the sum, Barry/Juan.

So, yes, people killed themselves less, but because you were swimming into alcohol without realizing. And, in Spain, alcohol it's the 'social oil lubricant'.
