we really need immigration reform. companies prefer H1B workers because they can treat them like indentured servants: they're bound to the company that sponsored their visa, and have only 60 days to find a new job if fired or they'll be deported. companies can also reset the green card process in retaliation if they do leave.
I'm radically pro-immigrant. I want the smartest people from around the world to come work here. I want to unshackle them from their corporate sponsors. the current system is unfair to immigrants (who are bound like serfs to their workplace) and to citizens (who lose jobs because corporations prefer serfs.)
I'm really surprised there isn't more pushback to the program since it has aspects that piss off post political sides. Maybe it's just too wonky for mainstream political coverage. A system of indentured servants really is the best description, the potential for abuse is both obvious and widespread. For the other side of course they can jobs from Americans in many cases. Big tech companies love hiring people they can abuse, especially if they can also pay them less than local hires.
My entire old team at Amazon has been reduced from 8 people of which 5 were citizens (and one got his green card while I was there) to 2 immigrants who arrived right before the pandemic both from different at-war countries. I only know this because after the last round of layoffs one of them reached out to me asking if I could get him out of that hell. Seems pretty straightforward what has happened here.
Do you think that maybe it’s possible the OP has a problem with the program and that crying racism whenever someone brings it up might actually be hurting your argument?
Funny thing is, I'm the opposite after getting a Mac for work at my current job.
You can't disable pointer acceleration via the Mouse configuration control panel. You have to use some terminal command. Scroll wheel acceleration can't be disabled at all without using 3rd party software.
The Home/End should bring the cursor to the beginning/end of the current line, not the beginning/end of the current document.
Disappearing scroll bars are only a feature on mobile applications where screen real estate is a premium.
And why is there not even an option to ungroup my windows in the Dock? If I have 3 Chrome windows, I want 3 Chrome icons so I can switch between them more quickly. Windows groups by default, but there's at least an option to ungroup them.
Everything about Mac feels like they believe that removing features is a feature.

Cmd + left/right arrow

Cmd+` to jump between Windows of the currently active application
Thank you for those tips! They just made my already great experience even better! In fact the window switching does not have that silly animation that you have on Windows. Its like the classic alt+tab!
Simply the evolution of the economic output moving from manufacturing driven to what it is now makes the comparison a little less jarring.
It flips the inference the author of that website is pushing on its head if you consider what those numbers are actually indicating with the context of what the definition is. Maybe it means the "Volume of input" has been greatly improved because of technological assistance, maybe it means human elements contributing to economic input have more help from advancement in sciences, maybe there are a lot more complex factors at play here than what we are aware of.
tl;dr: "Productivity" in economics is not the intuitive sense of "productivity" the word in common English usage that indicates human work.
This site goes into more detail on how productivity as shown on the famous chart is useless for telling you anything useful and worse means something different from the layman understanding of the word. With charts and basic maths.
I got tinnitus in both ears after first dose of Pfizer (got a very strong reaction in general, was feeling sick and weak for about 3 days after first shot). Been hesitant about getting the second because I don't want it to get worse.
Interesting to read that I'm not the only one with this reaction. It's been 5 months now so I also assume that its permanent.
I caught covid in 2020. One of the strange effects was tinnitus in left ear. The strange thing is I started noticing the 'ringing' almost right at same time I dimly perceived I was getting sick, when things were still just at 'mild headache' level.
I wonder if this is the work of spike protein causing some physical damage?
One of the interesting mechanisms is that the spike proteins poke out of already infected cells and activate a calcium-ion channel which ultimately triggers infected cells to fuse together so you get these massive cells with 20 nuclei all producing more virus and fusing other cells.
It seems like this mostly targets reparatory cells, but it's probably not great for hearing/smell if something similar happens to those cells.
