Large enterprises class systems are notoriously difficult to work Ai. It’s the context window limitation. Assuming 10 tokens per LoC. The best models today cannot wrangle 100k distributed LOC across multiple repos. It’s great for building new and maintaining smallish codebases. All this code being written is fantastic, but maintaining them efficiently over the code lifecycle is tricky.

No. All it leans that you go to the consulate on your appt and get your immigrant visa stamped - you get an appointment date and that’s it’s. It was a 3 hour process for me. I flew into Frankfurt and flew out the same evening.

Each country can only get 8500 gc’s per year. My numbers are probably incorrect, but some countries have literally hundreds and thousands of people in the pipeline while some other countries only have perhaps thousand. The ones with long waiting periods will clearly benefit. Edit. Via OpenAI

2025, the cap was about 26,323 per country because the total visa pool was larger.

Important details:

1. The cap applies to: * Employment-based green cards * Family preference green cards 2. The cap does NOT apply to: * Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens * spouses * parents * unmarried children under 21 Those categories are uncapped. 3. The cap is based on: * Country of birth (“chargeability”) * Not citizenship. 4. In practice, countries like: * India * China * Mexico * Philippines hit the cap constantly, causing very large backlogs.

Simple example:

If 500,000 Indians qualify for employment-based green cards, but only ~25k–30k can be allocated annually under the cap system, the remainder wait in line. That is why Indian EB-2 and EB-3 wait times can stretch into decades.

Because it’s literally not better than the DmV

Exactly. An extra points for using HN lingo.:)

Because America only has a few processing centers in within the US where is that literally hundreds and hundreds of consulates that can now take on this activity they have always been doing this activity but the vast majority of the backlog is caused by the slow processing of the US processing centers.

I went thru CP myself. It saved me 3 years

This is a good thing. Adjustment of status for those within the USA is backlogged- by years for people from certain countries. Going to the home consulate for the final stamp will save years for many people.

F1 and h1 are non-immigrant visa.

American law only allows a person to reside in the country with one Visa type.

The green card is an immigrant visa - and the new visa is issued through an adjustment of status for those inside the USA (backlogged) or by consulates (nearly immediately).

So this is a good thing. It’s easy to get alarmed.

This is a very timely for us. We are close to pulling the trigger on KeyCloak.

We also looked at Auth0 and Fusionauth - KeyCloak won.

We did not check Teseral - could you help me understand why I would choose Tesseral over the other 3?

Interesting. Could I use this to automate testing of massive web applications (100s of screens). And potentially load test?

I’m sure you’ve heard this.

Rough pre rev valuation!

Every engineer +$500k

Every MBA -$1m.

So America is actually Russia?

13 inch Mac book air.

After years of large MBp I switched to 15 inch MB air. Then the 13 inch. It’s moment of inertia is closer to the palm holding - i.e., it feels very light.

Screen is a bit tight. So all I do I crank up the size (setResX), put on pair of 0.5 readers and voila instant large screen. I can go all the way to 2560x and still read and work.

This is great. My WiFi is provided by a microwave link - it’s good but expensive.

Interesting - hadn't considered that possibility - makes sense

Great points. The whole doc is vague and filled with trap doors.

Best to get a citizenship asap

I see your point. Thank you.

I think most non legally inclined people (like me) would say CBP yanked my GC.

Your point being that - nope, they just enforced the law.

Right?

Good points.

Thanks for sharing the link. Yikes! It looks like all of part 9 is in play. Ie one had better be absolutely truthful - or self decline, who would ever do that?

Also, the problem with the legal definition of “a disqualification requirement” is it can be vague and subject to change.

Would I be correct in saying that a strict adherence to USA law is mandatory?

Good point. A lot of people don’t know this.

If the company makes it - the venture can be in legal jeopardy.

Actually they can.

For eg. Some green card holders live overseas. They are required to visit here periodically to keep status alive.

I know of cases where their green cards were revoked

Isn’t the green card risk based on a couple of items in the green card process The visa process and the person’s assertions to those visa questions For example - did you every x? And the required answer is No Let’s assume the person did commit X but answers No Years go by and the person gets a green card. The underlying assertion was a lie - therefore the whole stream of events later becomes questionable. The second situation is a new item being added. For example consider the hypothetical scenario that When the applicant filled out his forms - greenpeace was legit. And the applicant was a greenpeace member. Years later the applicant becomes a green card holder. Now years later. The govt classifies greenpeace a terror org. Is the green card holder under threat?

Now years later. The govt classifies greenpeace a terror org.

Is the green card holder under threat?

Yet another AWS service - dead.

Curious what is angle here -

These signatures have morphed into signaling one’s political leaning. It’s a good idea to keep such signals (whether intended or not) out of official communications.

For example, the Swastika was/is a religious symbol to billions of people. But became a political symbol and is a trigger point today

Great stuff well done. What is your latency for real time Audio?

Former car designer here - big3. The root cause is tax policies. Any vehicle classified as a “truck” is protected from overseas competition by a 25 pc tariff (jfk era), and since Clinton/Bush there is a tax write off available to business owners if the weight was more than 5600# it’s now 6500#.

I.E., there is a tax incentive to make trucks and buy them.

The occupant safety regulations means we make the worlds safest vehicles (for occupants) - roll over regulations have made the an and bill pillars thicker.

If we manage to remove the tariff protection and remove the tax incentives to buy trucks - we will save lives.

Hi.

I can link you up with a global payment processing fintech. Mid market/smb ERp and CRM are being commoditized. The fintech works with these cominies to bolt on the payment opportunity on the AR and AP side. For example a $10m year biz represents $10-$18m in payments. I.E., about a $100 to $200k profit oppty - recurring.

Open sourcing is a good idea - it allows for platform innovation and adoption - while regulated services becomes the profit driver.

600k?

Look up Network token - or EMV token.
