They are dogfooding, which is why trying to adopt their products has been a case study in getting screwed.
- GCal spam anyone, who hasn't been coming to unwanted meetings?
- How about 4-5 redundant messaging services?
Personally, my favorite is the Deutsch-Josza algorithm which illustrates a task which can be trivially understood, and provides exponential speedup over any classical algorithm that I can fathom to perform the same task.
Consider there was something like a half-century delay between the discovery of the photoelectric effect and the invention of the triode.
What's most striking to me is that these inherently optical phenomena apparently haven't been well-investigated for how they can provide speed-up to graphics processing.
Like the calculus, the crypto banks will unleash their ideas and vanish leaving only what is understood good and true.
Anyone calling out "clear flaws" as any serious drawback (I didn't click the link but I assume he hit the audience with the 7% drawdown narrative some nitwit at BB concocted) probably hasn't even done enough investigative journalism to, I don't know, try using the damned thing?
Of course, it's not like everyone crawled and indexed the web to keep things like that from search engines.
In an AAR[0] operators explain risks, causes, and limitations of the system. This provides a formal structured language for describing how, precisely, supporting systems can be improved and how they impact all specific aspects of operator interaction.
Since the operator is viewed simply as a networked control-system in this case, the cognitive path from structure, supporting physical system, and then physical quantities needing improvement is unmistakably clear, as is required in successful planning, acquisitions, operations, and maintenance.[1]
Essentially it makes subjective experience concrete, and is prophylactic against bikeshedding/blame-gaming.
You also seem to have confidently misread the situation, because OP does not indicate his specific current visa, since his spouse's visa may be that of a lawful permanent resident.
DoDI 1304.26[0] describes department-specific requirements, and points back to USC 10 for the legal requirements. USC10 S504(b) lays out the specific requirements, namely "... lawfully admitted for permanent residence[2] ..." and in-addition, as you point out, there exists program-exceptions performed or maintained by the SecDef. A report by the Deparment of Homeland Security suggests that some immigrant visas meet this criteria[3]. There's also a pretty long list of spouse-visas that constitute LPR[4].
So, it's still possible. A recruiter would know more, or at least know someone who knows more. Where there's a will, there's a way. Notice these are all primary sources, with a favor towards the authoritative information. If you're a stickler though, you could pull the PDFs direct from congress, but that's as much fun as reversing a box of punch cards.

- You can get naturalized. https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-milita...
- It's the U.S. Military, so pretty good record on the whole. Maybe if you look the other way on Vietnam, Abu Ghraib, Blackwater, misbehaved politicians and their silly e-mail servers, and the fact that it can kind of be ugly business.
- Free college, if you have kids you can confer it to them.
- It's a job, dollar-amount-wise pay won't be competitive, but it's non-zero, and yields non-cash benefits such as the VA loan, aforementioned GI bill, and a litany of other benefits from both state and federal government. https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/benefits_book/2020_Feder...
- May be able to select your own job, and get a standard technical career education in that trade.
- Sense of duty, discipline, world-class paralegal-type education/MBA-type organizational-business operations exposure, physical-health-type education and training. (MBAs aren't too popular around here, but the frustrating language they use to discuss things is pervasive and hence useful). In all likelihood, you'll skip away with a lot of soft-skills, a stronger body, a wallet, a retirement fund, and a diverse set of friends. As the Military is bound to law, every action must be assessed in terms of law, and all activities are governed by law. Well-meaning contributors over hundreds of years have written law, orders, doctrine, policy, manual, and regulation often in blood, you get to pick that all up.
- Huge community of invested contributors, VFW/American Legion admission, common ground with many Americans as the DoD is the world's largest employer.
- There's options to potentially serve locally such as Guard or Reserve, you might reach out to local recruiters from different branches to find out if that's an option.
You can check out the service-sites for more details, or maybe walk in to a recruiter's station and see if they're like, there.
Given SQL queries are software, I'm sure you've heard of software engineering.
...but seriously as a high-achiever, surely you can find the half-hour in the work day where everyone else is screwing-off?
Sniff-out the lighter side, and solicit perspective from different parts of the productivity spectrum.
Apparently lucrative, or maybe not. I'm not sure how to read that if that's reflective of their costs, wishful thinking, preying on the inattentive, or all of the above.
I expect the high road from my country's communications sector on freedom of speech, and even though RT has always sucked, this behavior is distasteful.
Obviously the war is an abomination, but I'd prefer that in the interim, "platform" corporations stay the hell out of the 4D-chess.

No thanks! Compelling though, if your use-case is viewing 2D content on virtual screens -- the metaverse app Bigscreen makes, a virtual environment for sharing 2D content.
... this is cheaper than imagining new business models, hiring engineers, and building infrastructure, right?
Holly bushes grow berries that you shouldn't eat.
Should government destroy all holly bushes? No. All berries? Certainly not.
Speech is a natural right and software is speech, so it can't be meaningfully viewed any other way, unless you're mindlessly parroting representative government deliberations.
As the current players jockey to get next-generation model use-cases monetized, a pocket will emerge for players whose moat doesn't depend on keeping that data hidden... governments at all levels are supported in better reporting data to the public.
Advertising money is going to begin to migrate to the crypto economy, models like Fountain seem an obvious end, since there are already virtual moats simply waiting for infrastructure like this to be built, and eyeballs to be thusly magnetized.
Qualcomm-Meta merger, becomes the adult in the room and forks Android fostering a vibrant ecosystem to support any incumbent competitors. VR practical-interface to worky-type-stuff.
Non-transistor, room-temperature substrate with pm-node scale for statistical modeling compute units invented.
Starlink available to a handset as an alternative to the cellular network. At least one competitor.
Neural data compression standards substantially reduce bandwidth usage and fidelity across streaming media.
Big wave of streaming media disintermediation, akin to the Twit-trot.
