I'm learning this week that Congress has only authorized money for a CIA agent to stash $40m in gold bars in his home but not for the United States to take an equity stake in the future of computing.

I didn't even know what freedom was until I "dropped out" of high school and enrolled in community college (dual enrollment program). Suddenly I went from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM school day to a 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM school day. Wow

The best option for a high achiever is to get out of the high school crab bucket as soon as possible. Drop out and take your GED and start community college (often free). Public high school is a terrible place to be a smart kid.

The types of students who are entering college needing dramatic remedial math are not the ones you want to fail in large numbers.

Software talent doesn't compete against Walmart greeters. That's the connection you're missing for h1b.

No country is ever going to be able to create a functional local software economy if every good engineer get sucked out of the country. In many ways the current system is cruel to every international company which forces their local wages t

I was contacted this week for a position that was openly 6 days a week. We need to end H1B in this country as soon as possible and keep the 996 schedule firmly out of the United States. They call you lazy for not wanting to compete against

Nobody would care about this if it didn't affect H1B. The confusion is whether h1b is a temporary visa or some kind of stepping stone. According to the immigration act of 1990 and US law it's a temporary visa and subject to this r

H1B as a visa status (and the one nearly everyone in this thread being affected by the green card status) is only 36 years old. The immigration act of 1999 very clearly created it as a temporary visa not a stepping stone to a green card. Th

H1b (the visa status of nearly everyone here affected by this change) is only 36 years old. We're not talking about ancient case law here.

I think one of the primary divergences of thought happening here is whether H1B is indeed a temporary visa or whether it was meant to be a stepping stone to a green card. H1B is only 36 years old. The Immigration Act of 1990 always meant it

Birthright citizenship is an astonishingly rare policy. Nonexistent in Europe and the developed world. Canada has it since the 1950s only.

Almost every single European country requires you to leave the country in order to apply for a new visa status, which is what is happening here in the USA. In SE Asia there's a whole cottage travel industry taking business and tourist

The tech industry and general business lobby is extremely pro H1b/immigration. They're probably the only thing holding back a total ban on h1b immigration right now. In some ways that industry is losing a tool. Sponsoring a green

I don't think we're too crowded, but it definitely doesn't make sense in the era of AI and tech layoffs to continue the H1B/green card status quo.

It's a two tier system where the best outcome appears to be to simply break the law completely and illegally.

It sounds like the judge had a lot of discretion in this case and used their discretion for a speedy adoption.

This TOTALLY ORGANIC movement to suddenly please think about the children with required age verification in software makes me sick. Whoever is behind this needs to be exposed, tarred, and feathered.

I suspect this is a cloudflare thing since the other search engines are doing fine. I'd look closer into your cloudflare settings and see what you can relax.

The Pareto principle is in play here. It might take years to get that last percentage point.

You know the FCC is going to do this and still be completely unable to stop spam calls. You're going to get all of the drawbacks and none of the benefits.
