They need to make sure it’s total comp (equity and bonus) while they are at it. The CA postings that only show base salary are borderline useless

Eww. I have now lost all interest in their products.

This. It boggles my mind too. My wife has a laptop but 99% of the time she’ll use her phone unless there’s no other way. Its her primary device for books, YouTube, and any other kind of content consumption. I reach for a tablet or laptop far before her.

Source? In my personal experience what you’re describing has nothing to do with race. Managers / leaders I’ve encountered who want to save money are just as happy to hire in China, Poland, or anywhere else compared to the place you’re thinly veiling your allusion to if the price is right.

I like using my 6th gen as an erader. With the right color settings the screen doesn’t fatigue me, and it’s nice to be able to read from any source (kindle, Apple Books, Libby, a pdf, etc).

Google and Mozilla are banning their roots. There’s a good chance if’s a death penalty for the company.

At least Google and Mozilla are revoking the roots too

I assume every state level actor is now quietly trying the first few hundred million private keys possible or so just to see what root ca or issuing ca key pairs match.

More than that, they claim the key was in an HSM, so they likely could not look at it.

I mean you could say something similar about Russia in its asymmetric conflict with Ukraine. Both still have scary capacity.

Absolutely. It’s also very good advice. I live in Austin, TX. I know multiple people who have gone to MD Anderson in Houston. It’s a way better quality of care, and my insurance is just as happy to pay for them or local docs.

OP: fuck cancer. I wish you a speedy and quick recovery.

- Not an option on iOS

- Safari sips battery on macOS

No hate for Firefox, and glad it’s an option for people, but Wipr was worth the small $ to me personally. YMMV.

I’m curious what they are working on that gets so many commits. Surely Claude is not under that rate of churn?

I remember before COVID trying to interview multiple places and time it where offers will land at the same time. I remember flying 3 times in one week (!) to make this happen. We have it easy now :).

The H1b program was really intended for things like "man, we can't get any doctors to work in town x, guess we'll use h1b". Tech has twisted it way beyond that.

That said, I think US tech works benefit a ton from a world where the US is the center of R&D, many of the best R&D jobs are in the US, and every tech company in the world that's doing something interesting has a pretty good shot of at least having a site in the US.

The US as a country benefits from having all of the world brain drain to here.

Can we figure out a system that's not the broken H1b mess and make that happen?

Any manager who survives the game of thrones at Amazon knows how to manipulate the data driving their decision to get whatever outcome they want (the whole RTO thing is the prefect example).

At $7 per gallon, a 3% back card on gas gives 21 cents a gallon in cashback to me. So that’s a pretty hard no.

Do you mean the pro specifically?

I was so happy with Google Domains. Rip.

This reminds me of the whole "playing video games causes violent behavior" stream of thought. Like people, I do not think CounterStrike is real nor do I want to engage in gun battles to the death in real life.

I’m honestly amazed airlines have not outright banned power banks given the risks. Like the Samsung Note that had a propensity for fires, and power banks seem universally less rigorously engineered.

Who knows what the thing will actually look like, but aside from the privacy angle, a design like this could be exceptionally light on battery use.

The magic is that some of them will get some not-trivial fraction of that $6T. Feels like the .com boom all over again - most of these companies won’t make it, but the few that do are going to be FAANG level monsters. All the investors want a slice of that.

That’s wild to me. Where I went to college they’d be like “lol you’re expelled and we’re keeping your tuition. Being here is a privilege not a right.” Maybe, maybe you’d get one hearing if you were outright disruptive, but I honestly doubt it.

SpaceX has some absurd majority of the launch market. Because their rockets work.

I won’t comment on the finances, but their technical success is self-evident.

Also, heath care costs if you don’t have insurance through an employer are a huge drag on FIRE, especially since you’ll likely need more medical care going into your 40s and 50s before you can get Medicare.

Every time one of these threads comes up, the replies have the form “you’re not doing x right, or Linux would be fine.”

X is usually “pick hardware with good support in ToT kernel” or “use distribution Y” (where Y is somehow different in every post) or “do you really need feature Z that’s better on Mac? You’re making the wrong trade.”

To each their own but I’d rather not deal with XYZ and just get the thing that works.

p.s. I do hope they put a toggle back for Siri and their on device AI stuff

Most big tech companies let you pick Mac, Linux, or Windows. Whatever you’ll be the most productive with. Whatever you prefer. Most devs (75%?) seem to pick Macs. To each their own though.

I wish the stated goal of H-1B was "brain drain -> let's attract all the best talent in the world to the US, and keep the US (and US companies) the epicenter of the tech industry, medical industry, research universities, etc.".

The stated end-game should be getting the best people in the world to stay in the US and become citizens.

I feel like this could be a bulwark against offshoring, and in the big picture, protect US jobs overall.

I think the system as-is is fundamentally broken. First and foremost, it needs to include equity when comparing the salary to US persons - H-1Bs are supposed to require "equal pay" to US persons, but they only look at base salary.

I also think consultant firms need to be fixed. They need some cap such as "no more than 1 in 10 engineers in your teams may be H-1B. This should include consultants you use - e.x. if a company employs 20 engineers, and they have 10 active consultants, no more than 3 H1-bs across both in-company employees and consultants used.

The consulting farms are the biggest abusers by far, and the low hanging fruit to target and fix. If we can't figure some workable way to fix it, just ban consulting companies from having H-1Bs outright.

The system is also needlessly cruel to applicants. They should have some long buffer, say on the order of a tourist visa (6 months?) if they lose their job so they have time to try and find a new one before losing status. Can you imagine putting your kids in school and buying a house in an at-will state, on an H-1B? Yeesh.
