They would meet the requirements to not have to work. Having nothing to do with terminally ill status and everything to do with the things you just listed. The article doesn't say anyone is proposing to change that.

I am under the impression this does not apply to for example o-1 visas. Possibly not for h1-b. Is everyone clear about what they are commenting on here? Is the news coverage clear?

You are right, the downvotes people gave this comment are wrong, the replies to you are wrong. Feeding evil in the hopes you will also feed a little good is not only bad morally, but bad practically, bad in a utilitarian calculus, and just

I appreciated Scott Adams, and am sad he has passed away. I learned a lot from him and his perspective helped me through difficult times. The comments here are very unfortunate. When someone dies, it is appropriate to speak of what you appr

all this was obvious the moment napster became popular. and for more than a decade anyone who explained what was happening was ridiculed, especially in tech circles. spotify in particular cemented a payment structure that disadvantages any

I'd be curious about the total carbon emissions, all in, to produce this because it seems like an excellent carbon sink. And especially when compared to steel.

I would like to take this moment to point out that in NY it is ~illegal for me to hire an unpaid intern and train them by for example saying: - this is codex, here is a bunch of tickets - enter each ticket into codex, then review each chang

LLMs in data pipelines enable all sorts of “before impossible” stuff. For example, this creates an event calendar for you based on emails you have received: https://www.indexself.com/events/molly-pepper (that’s mine, a

this is such a fantastic comment because it makes a charitable attempt to explain how data driven decisions go off the rails. and it matters because this seems to be an omnipresent phenomenon. everything everywhere seems driven by this unle

In my experience, accidentally memorizing what you are reading doesn't really get in the way of what most people think of as sight reading. Internalizing structures and patterns is 99% of what it means ti "learn to read."
