I assume that there would be a current that would erode the surrounding environment, but how bad would it really be?
Not according to the Turkish government.

Ireland doesn’t want Apple to pay.
Because eventually you’ll run out of people that can be hired.
Unless you’re making an argument that there are more software developers than job openings in the US, which is patently false.
And more importantly, this case is more about people who were already employed at Apple, on a non-immigrant visa, that Apple wished to retain permanently. I see no actual wrongdoing here. A tried and tested employee is ALWAYS better than an unknown one.
Very credible, because people already employed don’t really count. It doesn’t matter at what company.
Imagine someone leaves whatever company they are at to take the role at Apple. Now the company the employee left has an opening that can’t be filled.
And that’s how it works. Otherwise there would be no need for immigration in this sector at all.
Let's stop pretending that immigration law can be changed in the current political climate.
It's a remote, theoretical possibility, rather than a practical one.
That's being generous. I'm pretty sure that for people born in India the backlog is well over 100 years. The reason being that only 7500 green cards per year can be issued to people of any particular nationality. If there are 750k Indians with approved GC applications under employment category, that's a 100 year backlog. I'm sure there's a statistic somewhere, and I remember reading an article a couple of years back that claimed that this particular backlog has surpassed 90 years, so it's not unthinkable that today it's over 100.
EB2 final action date for Indian nationals is currently at 01JAN12. Which means that USCIS is currently processing applications from almost 12 years ago. Which means they have to wait a decade before their application even gets approved.
There are people that will quite literally never see an EB2 or EB3 green card in their lives despite having an approved application. The only viable path to a green card for those is marrying a US citizen, period. (as that category has no cap or quota whatsoever)
There is no actual problem. Politicians see problems where they don’t exist.
email makes this trivial.
If it was, they did us all a favour, because PGP as means of encrypting emails is a steaming pile of garbage, as it requires both, client support, and the counterparty to have the same OPSEC as you (e.g. not just forwarding the email unencrypted to someone else)
Email was never meant to be encrypted, and the existing implementations (including S/MIME) suck for this exact reason. And the worst thing is that it’s simply not possible to make it work.
With the sole exception of VAT and customs duties.
Corporation tax is a matter of internal revenue and none of EUs business at all. Well, now it apparently is.
The European Union isn’t sovereign. It likes to pretend it is, but it isn’t.
> Are treaties now just lies of convenience?
They’ve just about always been just lies of convenience. Think Molotv-Ribbentrop pact. Or the START treaty. Or the Iranian nuclear deal. Or the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, which is dead as of yesterday, because NATO suspended it too.
That would be entirely dependent on whether they benefit from the extra performance or RAM that you can get with Max.
I don't think that there's a significant difference in thermals or battery life on identical workloads. My M2 Max gets me through a full working day with 30-50% charge still left. It's the only laptop I've ever had I can be completely confident about should I not bring a charger with me.
There's a 45% performance uplift between M2 Max and M3 Max in benchmarks.
You still get more performance between M2 Pro and M3 Pro. And you get significantly more if you're upgrading from M1 Pro.
2008 actually, when Palestinians were even offered East Jerusalem. I seriously doubt that they'll see such an offer ever again.
Never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
Tax evasion is what did Al Capone in. Because the bar to prove that he was involved in a lot of seriously criminal activity was quite high, but proving that he committed tax only required proving that he had undeclared income.
People generally don't even understand what the term "free Palestine" means, even without the "From the river to the sea" part. It's not a call for an independent Palestinian state. It's a call for a Palestinian state where Israel stands.
And we all know how that would end for just about all non-Arab Israelis.
I'm a immediate relative of a PEP. And banks treat those just like they treat PEPs.
I've banked in 4 different countries with about 10 banks total, disclosed to them the fact that I'm a PEP or an immediate relative of one, and it has never, ever caused any issue.
