Seems quite clear that H1B should be reformed to allow for easier moves to another employer. It should just be a work permit for any job for a period of time.

There are caveats, however. Making exceptions for employees can raise alarms in HR compliance. If an employee in a protected class has asked for the same, but perhaps cannot be granted the same terms, it could create liability. Larger compa

Thank you and all the very thoughtful and helpful replies! Definitely going to check out Construvism, which is a new term to me, and was mentioned by several replies.

Are there browser plugins that can "fake" your browser fingerprint somewhat? Like, e.g., only showing OS default fonts installed, or fixing screen dimension info, etc? Or would this require forking a browser's code? Maybe fut

I have a problem with the diagonalization, but I'm more of a math fan so please forgive my ignorance. The proof of uncountability of real numbers starts with a process of enumerating this infinite list of infinitely long binary numbers

What's the alternative to "I built it, I own it"? Seems like forced open sourcing under threat of government force would be worse than what we have now. Also Meta these days is open sourcing more ML tools than any other corp,

Those are very cool, but I'm talking about years pre-dating smartphones. I guess Picasa wasn't a good time marker in my question since it really wasn't retired that long ago.

Anyone remember the photo viewer from 10+ years ago that started with a tiled view of every photo and you zoomed in kind of organically to what you wanted? At the time it was revolutionary to me. Kind of in the Picasa era or earlier. I beli

That's where the used market comes in: if you really, really need 200 mile range, when it drops below that there will be a market of buyers who only need 150 miles. That has the added benefit of making EVs affordable for more people. I

Since the key traverses the shared bus, does that mean that every component in the system could intercept the key just as easily as this logic analyzer does? Sounds like a supply chain security nightmare.
