I was using a Logitech mouse of this size for a long time and ended up with a lot of wrist pain. Went away once I switched to a larger mouse like M725 and MX Master 3. Not sure why the pain went away but a bigger mouse allows me to rest my

Been keeping an eye on vlang since its initial post here (and the subsequent flame war) on HN. The initial language feature list was pretty ambitious. Seems like they're taking a batteries included approach in trying to bring in as man

Find in page - "remote" - zero hits. Seems like it's important to talk about how the labor shortage and remote jobs would affect the housing market. What would happen if experienced people start demanding remote work to even

I agree. Its low quality journalism completely devoid of any actual analysis of data about indians who emigrated and the businesses they run. Makes me wonder if I can trust the Economist to present me an accurate picture on topics I don&#x2

Looks like this article is overly focused on public tech firms. The author totally missed the merchant and trader castes from India (many from Gujarat and Kerala) founding and running large firms in the US (chains of restaurants, gas statio

Not sure if my idea is sound but they should be forced to also make a physical change to the connector so the older cables won't fit or force display of an incompatibility warning on the screen so the users know the cable isn't th

Curious, what was the proposed architecture supposed to look like with a public ID ?

On further googling, it looks like their problem is that Viral B Shah contributed to the Aadhar project (universal ID) for India. I don't get what's the problem here. Its a government project for a federal ID to streamline benefit

All these seem like mechanical or assembly issues other auto manufacturers have already figured out. Very rarely hear these days about control arms failing with traditional automakers vehicles.

I think in India iris scans are used in addition to fingerprint as biometric markers. Doesn't cover all cases but more robust than just relying on a finger or an eye.

This isn't useful. Control of Congress in the US isn't dictated by which party wins the popular vote. I want to know who is the median voter group most likely to hand over control of the House, Senate and Presidency.

Naive question, but I wonder if non-competes have been tested in the supreme court if they violate the constitution. Seems like the very concept is an infringement on personal liberty and if extended too far comes a bit too close to indentu

Interesting. I guess I never really imagined such trade restrictions were possible in the US.

TIL there are laws in some states that prohibit auto manufacturers from directly selling to the customer. Have these laws ever been challenged in court ? Is it really allowed for states to mandate the sale of something only through intermed

You can only apply for a fresh H1B once a year around April. It's a lottery with less than 30% chance of getting it. If a tech company wants to bring a European employee to the US they would have to wait until April, apply and if selec

From the beginning, Ford can't afford to not be serious since it's literally their core business. However, something must have changed to convince Doug Fields to move. One can only speculate but I guess it would be revealed later.

My own anecdote - I work for an F50 (not in tech). An adjacent team was having a lot of difficulty hiring, since it was a relatively niche area with few people with relevant experience. I've done research in this area, and wanted to re

It's pretty sad. People affected by this (Indians) have waited decades in line on temporary work visas for their priority date to become current. Many kids age out of the line and go back to F1 visa or probably just leave for Canada. A

My guess - Americans with relevant skills already have jobs they like and are in high demand, and the ones who can up skill into programming positions are probably working all the time just to survive. Foreign workers usually already have a

Points to a bigger problem. Imagine how many startups simply don't come into existence because the founders are stuck on life long H1B visas. Or many times the founders simply can't even make it into the US even though they have m
