I just retired a 20ish year old brother multifunction black and white laser for a new Brother color LED multifunction.

Very happy with both, the one I just retired still worked great, but I got tired of jumping through hoops to get the network scanner drivers working on current OSes.

That’s a lot of words to say ExxonMobil wants access to their oil production

Well, they’re also raising the minimum amount that the h1b workers can be paid (yes, that’s a thing, it’s called “prevailing wage”), so the goal of this is to make hiring h1b more expensive overall.

In practice, what I think will happen is a combination of more offshoring of junior by big tech, an increase in the number of h1b positions that big tech will take out of the lottery pool for senior positions. If big tech is already paying a senior, well qualified, h1b position with total comp of $300k or more, a 30% increase in total costs probably won’t make an impact.

For other fields working on smaller profit margins, they’ll likely stop bidding in the h1b lottery.

If the administration were serious about their goals of increasing stem capacity in the country they’d be partnering with higher education to drive more talent into those fields. But the admin is openly hostile to education, so that’s clearly not the goal.

Currently, there’s an oversupply of comp sci recent graduates trying to find jobs.

My guess is that this change by itself won’t do much to increase domestic demand for early in career comp sci graduates, but will increase it intentionally. The us government is doing other things that will marginally increase domestic demand, like only allowing people physically located in the us to work on the datacenters that AWS, Azure, etc run for the FedGov exclusive use. But that’s not going to create enough positions to really make a impact on the overall industry.

This is a very sad two sentence story.

I’m not expert, but i’d start with ranked choice voting, campaign donations must come from a natural person and not a company, PAC, or any other organization, and term limits.

I can’t find it on the main branch

Isn’t that even more suspicious?

What branch is OP’s build from if not main?

I would bet the highest correlation is with drunk driving.

Thanks to the KKK, I assume.

I was surprised by how Mickey 17 used a similar plot point.

I’m no Musk apologist, but this statement is nowhere close to being true.

Thinking about this a little bit, I realized that I practically never use my USB port for anything, and only rarely use it for charging. On Pixel, is there any app that will just disable the data features of the USB by default unless I explicitly turn it on?

I assume that a feature like that would eliminate vulnerability to tools like cellbrite.

I view the patent process as furthering the ability of others to benefit from the results: without patents, the only way to keep clones of your product from immediately appearing on the market is obfuscation and trade secrets. Patents grant a limited monopoly, but at the price of full disclosure. That full disclosure serves a useful social benefit as others can learn and innovate on what was done before. The limited monopoly encourages innovation because it helps people get exclusive rights to sell their work.

There’s a lot of bad patent behavior with patent trolls, etc. The duration of the patents should be relatively short and not extensible. But I think the disclosure aspect of the patent process does further overall innovation.

I’d like to get back to ‘for limited time’. Patents 10 years, no extensions. Copyright, 10 years, no extensions. Trademarks indefinite as long as the owner still has a meaningful business still operating and using the trademark ( this one is tricky to define well).

Why can’t they deport you? Does the jail in El Salvador care what the nationality is of the people the US is paying to hold and torture?

Deep blue Washington state has the advantage of giant amounts of hydroelectric generation combined with a relatively small population to consume it.

It has options for providing metadata, thumbnails, etc for jellyfin automatically, by pulling the metadata from the youtube page.

The money has to come from somewhere.

That’s why elons team took over the treasury payments system.
