Why do people always assume that people on H1Bs _want_ a citizenship?

There's tons of things you can do to make people on visas more empowered to push back at work without them become citizens; and in many cases cutting ties to their original countries.

The SMS forwarding is handled entirely within iMessage.

Phone call forwarding works when all the devices are nearby, and they can handoff the audio streams between themselves; but you can't pick up a phone call on your Mac if your phone is on the other side of the world/at the office/etc; the feature we're talking about here would not have this limitation.

Because it's one more thing that I have to own and maintain; versus a built-in feature?

It is precisely so I _don't_ have to touch the actual TV remote ever.

So I can turn it on/off using Home Assistant and my phone.

The whole business of airliners engines is fascinating in its own.

AIUI when you're buying a plane from Airbus, it's possible/frequent to own the _airframe_; but not the engines — the engines are often _leased_ (sometimes directly from RR/GE); I've even heard of cases where each engine will be owned by a different entity!

I'm now very curious how does a UV/IR scan of an ID card looks like!

I imagine there are only maybe three people as stupid as me to try this, but just in case: it works fine when the battery runs out; but it does _not_ work during the OS update process.

I've tried it once and found it very inconvenient, compared to pulling out my phone out of my pocket, but glad to hear it works for you!

Only if you’re left handed, or wear your watch on your right hand for whatever reason.

Or you have a contortionist spirit in you, whatever works :)

Depends on where.

Many cities have their own cards, that are used for transit only (so no vending machines etc., and no interoperability between cities), increasingly many places just let you use your credit card in place of the special transit card, some places (Germany, some parts of Scandinavia) don’t have ticket gates at all.

> The talent is still there, so they could rebuild, or recruit the talent to work for Chinese mainland fabs instead?

Would you voluntarily work in a country that invaded and taken over yours?

Would you ask the same about Russia recruiting Ukrainians?

Wow, that's actually an impressive new failure mode; and it happens on Safari too.

...in what way?

I know you said "relatively", but it's been seven and a half years: https://github.blog/changelog/2019-01-08-pricing-changes/

This only happens (should happen?) when you're moving, when stationary there is a keyboard that appears; which feels like a reasonable safety precaution for me.

>What this means: if I ask Claude to critique a piece and I happen to cut and paste part of its reply into the text, then that could be marked.

...that seems correct to me? Why wouldn't it be marked? If you take the model's suggestions and apply them, those should absolutely be marked?

There is (used to be? I'm not sure anymore) a Maps office in Tokyo too.

AIUI it's owned by Chris, and Kenji is a fan, but doesn't have any ties other than that.

I desperately wish there was a "Turn off for five minutes, I'm dealing with dumb corpsec auth stuff" option.

>Is it standard practice at both Apple and OpenAI for employees to use their personal icloud account for work?

Yes.

Perhaps the fact that we’re having this discussion on HN shows the kind of media I’m likely to consume, but I’ve never seen it used in the latter sense. TIL, I guess!

"Public company" is a very specific thing; the BVG is state owned, but very much not a public company.

I didn't read that post as saying "there is no racism in France/Britain/Netherlands thanks to their past"; I understood it as "the _kind_ of racism there is _different_ than the one in Germany, for historical reasons".

That strikes me as... kind of true? Poland's issues with racism are also pretty different than in the countries mentioned.

They're usually private companies owned by the cities.

Or you became a Berliner.

(There's a small part of me that wishes I could've naturalized as a Berliner, not German — many (though obviously not all!) things I love about it are really about Berlin specifically, not Germany. Seeing "waiting at traffic lights to cross even when there's no cars around" being described as a German thing always makes me smile a bit; having worked for ~3y near Kotti. Nobody does that there.)

There's no way to say this without sounding like an old crank; but I think putting down your phone when on the U-Bahn and just reading the news and/or ads on the little in-train screens helps a surprising amount!

It's both true and untrue.

It's true that finding appointments can be difficult if you just open the website once and see a calendar with no available slots for months; _but_; there are very frequent cancellations and some offices releases slots for the same day at midnight/7AM/etc; so if you're determined and flexible; it's quite doable to get an appointment ~soon.

For some things (apartment registration) you can also just show up on the day and just wait.

(My last interaction with a Bürgeramt was in Berlin in October 2023 though and was pretty similar for the previous ~8 years; things could have changed in the meantime!)

Good thing it has a three digit price then!
