At the end of the year: select the decade. Dec 31 2030 will be monumental.

Honest question - is it from a repost from someone you follow?

Well surely censorship is bad. But at least it's explicitly censored instead of implicitly biased. If it just rejects your prompt, you know you hit the wall.

Don't use any containers or even VMs then. Just dedicate one physical machine for one application. Problem solved ;)

Doesn't Twitter provide that as well?

Imagining the cloudflare datacenters as cachelines and this is just like a side-channel attack like spectre. Not as fine-grained but still cool stuff.

If TikTok creators can move to any another platforms and make profit at the same level, I am sure no one will miss TikTok. Is that the case though?

Then the US acts like China.

Banning an app because of China's threat only makes you resemble China itself.

Market intervention through administrative measures is never a good thing for any country.

As long as your computer runs a browser and a terminal emulator, it is more than fine.

Market is so bad so it would be too risky for your roomie to get another job. The employer knows this and exploits this. I understand it.

It is not valid to use the number of workers got laid off vs the number of new H1B visas applied in the same company to argue that foreign labor is replacing US workers. You just don't know how many H1B owners are laid off.
79.
by ritcgab 2y ago
You don't need H1B for citizenship. Applying for EB2 green card is not dependent on work visas. However, most companies only sponsor green cards after the worker passes the H1B lottery.

by ritcgab 2y ago
85k is new visas. Old visas need renewal every few years and that needs a new application and approval. In addition, if a visa holder changes their job, they need to transfer their visa to the new employer. That also counts. No matter what

"I had a friend". Typical.

Those laid off workers are not 100% "US workers". Many of them are H-1B holders.

This is a good one lol

> Elon says he wants to replace American workers with H1Bs Source? So Tesla laid off 15,000 people. How many of them are US citizens? It applies 2,405 H-1B's for later hirings, sure, but that includes renewals and transfers. Is that

by ritcgab 2y ago
How many laid-off workers are H-1B owners though? You cannot just assume Tesla laid off 100% US workers then hired foreign labors to fill the gap. This is not an apple to apple comparison.

The security of desktop Linux is just not there. Flatpak is a thing, but most users won't bother and they run all their desktop apps using the same uid and zero auditing or sandboxing. There is just no easy-to-use solutions, and none o

People with similar mindsets gather on the same platform and ultimately create an echo chamber. If that's what you want, you can do the same on X/Twitter by creating your own "network". Just don't use the recommenda

The abuse is real. Many "domestic" consulting companies dominate the H-1B visa application process, often resorting to significant fraud in the past. A large portion of these applicants have had no prior connections to the U.S. an

I'm sure the extra 85,000 positions are more than sufficient to get all those low-skilled college grads hired. Not to mention the top unis are pretty happy to shut down International programs.
