seppo0010on Microsoft: 'To fill 6,000 jobs, we'll pay $10K per visa'

> If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker must either apply for and be granted a change of status to another non-immigrant status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or leave the US.

The H1-B is not tied to a single employer. But it only allows one month in case of lay off.

On joindiaspora, pressing cmd+left (which is usually the browser "back") leaves me in the same page. Which is more strange is that pressing the back button it works properly.

seppo0010on Twitter crashes itself with commas

Reading the article and the comments made it more clear to me. Twitter is using some minification tool (maybe Google Closure) which attempts to reduce the number of characters used. Using commas you can reduce two characters by avoiding some brackets.

    if(true){dothis();dothat();}

    if(true)dothis(),dothat();

I think you are missing the point. It is a multi-user app. The first user didn't logout when the second login, both were logged in at the same time.
