EB-2/EB-3 green cards which an H-1B holder usually pursues are quota-capped per country of birthplace. An Indian born applicant may have to wait for over 100 years.

I don't buy and return products that don't charge with a single usb-c cable. How can I expect good quality from a product if the maker saves on ¢1 cent? It's 2026 yet new products still keep people from going all usb-c.

Did you take a blood test for magnesium level?

Yes, I've been using Opus to write a plan and fanout sonnet subagents to implement it. Cheaper and faster

Communicating ideas helps, but thinking out loud may not work better to some people.

Best in terms of what? Quality Control? UI/UX?

If you have ScreenTime turned on. Port :8080 is occupied and your ubuntu apt-get in a docker build gets hash mismatch because they obviously modified packets. Let alone I am having another issue of unable to delete a private key in Keychain Access.

The whole macOS thing is amateur

The identity issuer - the government - already has the your privacy. If you have a unique identifier from the government which websites can call the government with to verify your identity, you won't lose any privacy. All the websites get is just a unique string, no date of birth, no name, no address. This approach is the cornerstone of oauth/oidc.

Some religious groups may not support science

There is a saying: "big meetings for small things, small meetings for big things". Get sponsors before a meeting if there's anything you really want to push out

There is a saying "People are politics. How can you avoid people?".

Because social media. The same goes for a phone number. If your contacts give out a phone book, your number is leaked.

Yep, in New York the pothole season is early Spring rather than winter, for example.

It only works in Chrome, not Firefox or Safari. Sad.

I convert and upload my flac files to Apple Music which is available cross-platform, though poor on linux.

Speaker quality makes a huge difference according to my experiences from lower end $30 portable speaker to stereo sound systems in cars. Last weekend I rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its sound quality is noticeably terrible because I couldn't hear some backing violin/piano sound of a symphony compared with my own car.

Have I found a bug? I entered JFK and Heathrow, it resolves to correct airports but the map shows a route between London and Lisbon.

Addresses used:

John F. Kennedy International Airport, JFK Access Road, Queens, New York, 11430, United States

Heathrow Airport, Cranford Lane, Hatton Cross, London Borough of Hillingdon, London, Greater London, England, TW6 2DN, United Kingdom

As an average user, wayfire has been pretty reliable since 0.7.5. It is just its ecosystem needs more work.

This can be further extended to show plot images if the author decides to render repl outputs in a separate terminal (or a tmux pane) instead of a vim window.

AFAIK, a vanilla flake.nix does not help you start/stop services like docker- compose does. You need extra customization. devbox is like a wrapper around nix and docker-compose

I always dream about this setup. But an unreliable network prevents it. mosh and VSCode Remote partially solved the problem of latency. There's is still a problem of unavailable network - when you are in flight.

nix solved my problem by and large for well modularized projects. Because, nix can provide nearly identical dev environment in practice.

Maybe some people of power who get involved and want to reap benefits. Maybe the company found in 2013 is too new for the government to catch up. China does not have a long established financial industry like developed countries. State capitalism has just started four decades ago. Maybe Jack Ma knows regulations will come out soon and just made public opinions before regulation rules are revealed to the public.

I do not have any source to back my guesses.

If a financial institution operates like a bank but creates more risk than a bank, shouldn't it be regulated like a bank?

Jack Ma said banks should ditch the "pawnshop" mindset and switch to a credit-based loan service, because his Ant's micro/small loan service is completely backed by credit rather than something risk-proof properties like a house. Ant not only acts like a bank, but also is the largest credit buerau in China. It provides loan based on the credit score it rates on its customers.

This article also fails to mention the Basel Accords that Jack Ma criticized. After the 2008 financial crisis, Basel III includes regulations on "shadow banks" like Ant in addition to traditional banks. Is it possible for a bank that has only assets of 3B lends out 300B[1]? No, banks are prohibited due to regulations. But, Ant already did. They created an Asset-Backed Security (ABS) via a process called securitization. It is unprecedented that a financial institution with such big financial leverage and a large amount loan going unregulated.

A pawnshop is at least backed by real properties like houses. What back the risk Ant create? Consumers' credit?

If I still cannot make you understand, please google "2008 MBS ABS". You'd be surprised at the similarity of what Ant's been doing and what caused the financial crisis.

I sincerely hope hacker news readers take a look into the underlying financial bubble rather than "Chinese government reaps tech innovator" to which this article tries to mislead you.
