This is already the case with Indians and possibly Chinese. The waiting time for h1b to green card for Indians is several decades right now and maybe 5-10 years for Chinese. Things might get better if the climate discourages future immigr

Except for the DOE student loan programs just capped loans for med school to 200k lifetime so unless students are fairly wealthy, they're going to find it hard to become a doctor.

I don't think the EB-2 is an alternative. If the applicant is outside the US, the process takes ~3 years to get the applicant into the US and up to 4-12 years if the applicant is Chinese or Indian. I don't think the EB-2 process a

This insures that tech and finance get all the visas. A lot of things like rural medicine gets staffing through h1b sponsored physicians and likewise for post-docs and researchers. If this gets implemented across the board, a lot of scien

There's also a bunch of organizations that are desperate and can't pay. E.g. a lot of rural and VA hospitals are staffed by H1B physicians. A rural hospital in the middle of Idaho won't attract a cardiologist through salary

I've seen a few places sell them. It's a specialty item and I suspect you need a specialty grocer or be some place where you can grow them. (e.g. in the tropics or semi-tropical spots, you can grow a variety of banana varieties

Most of that plastic can't be recycled so it's probably being burned or thrown away.

L1 employees require that the company employ the person for a year at an international branch so this is only available to multi-national companies.

That's 8Gb/s per TB of storage. The bandwidth is going to scale up as you add OSTs and OSSs. The OCI FS maxes at 80Gb/s per mount target.

It was the former PM's wife not the former PM. Also heads of state are probably a lot safer than fishermen or loggers.

I think Lustre works fairly well. At the very least, it's used in a lot of HPC centers to handle large filesystems that get hammered by lots of nodes concurrently. It's open source so nominally free although getting a support co

I wonder if the improvements for the aluminum heatsink might be applicable to other situations like cpu/gpu heatsinks or other places where cooling is needed. It seems like it might be economical.

I think it's unavoidable for any sufficiently complicated object or variable. Think of c++'s unique_ptr that guarantees that only a single reference to memory exists so that that the memory can be free'd safely when it goes o

So, with anything that isn't a primitive type (e.g. int, bool, etc), there's a chance that assignment is going to require memory allocation or something similar. If that's the case then there's a chance of bad things ha

3d printing has gone somewhat mainstream unlike the others. Manufacturers use it and it's somewhat common to see stuff that's been 3d printed being sold or created as small run prototypes.

Neurons don't just work on electrical potentials, they also have a multiple whole systems of neurotransmitters that affect their operation. So I don't think their activation is a continuous function. Although I suppose we could u

That expensive supercar is a lot more noticeable than a toyota corolla. People are also more likely to remember seeing a lime green lambo than a silver corolla.

I believe it is. We've had vaccines for the common flu for a while and routinely create new vaccine formulations that are effective against the current strains. Nothing like that exists for HIV.

I'm not sure why you had that dig about ML skeptics but ML models can often perpetuate human biases if they aren't trained properly. For example, consider the amazon hiring algo that consistently rated female candidates below male

That's GC duration time but the article indicates: "This is because Zing uses a unique collector called C4 (Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) that allows pauseless garbage collection regardless of the Java heap size (u

Azul has a JVM that doesn't have GC pauses and has fairly good memory allocation / collection throughput.

Off-hand I think that there were at least 7 forks/implementations out there. Oracle/Sun, Oracle's Graal, IBM, OpenJDK, Amazon Coretto, Twitter's fork, and Azul. There's also a GNU effort but I don't think that

At least during irregular operations, the staff at the lounge often have the ability to reschedule you onto flights or routings that regular staff can't (due to inexperience or due to privileges). If bad weather results in multiple ca

I think a huge tell tends to be flying in on monday and flying out friday. A lot of cheaper tickets require you to spend saturday night at the destination to weed out business travel. Other people mentioned multi-stop routing and odd timi

The real answer is that it depends. With fare management, a small allocation of cheap tickets might be made available when the flight is listed (e.g. 350 days in advance) however more cheap tickets may be added or removed over time dependi

It's a bit more tricky than that. Increasingly business and first class tickets have biz or first "lite" tickets that unbundle the seat from other benefits like lounge access and even seat selection or baggage fees. Also in

Higher end chinese or indian restaurants are pretty rare in the US. Both cuisines have been relegated to the fast, cheap delivery/takeout space and places doing higher-end (and higher priced) dishes find it difficult to get customers.

Sure, but unless you're distilling the water at point of use, you'll have plumbing to distribute it. The typical setup is to have a distillation plant, some storage for the water and then plumbing to distribute it. Anything else

Home distillation probably only works if you have all copper plumbing instead of the PVC or PEX plumbing that a lot of homes have. But copper plumbing is probanly going to leach various metals into the water.

Honestly some of the people that would benefit the most probably aren't going to be taking this. E.g IV drug users, sex workers, and people engaging in risky sex might not be the people that are likely to proactively seek this out. A
