of course it is. how else are they going to increase their margins. Apple TV is a multi billion dollar dumpster fire that keeps losing money. as long as they find suckers to manipulate they will keep lobbying. https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/

US Coast Guard: balls of steel

Valid question. if you started programming dynamic languages like Python you don’t have to worry about memory control.

We are precipitating towards the Chinese Communist model of group think and censorship.

This applies to all “as a service” products. Unless you can’t provision a server and stand up open source services on your own there is no reason to use 3rd party services.

That probably means they are cooking the books for the pre IPO investors and don't want to go jail after public listing.

Awesome !!

It would nice if there was terrestrial fiber map which shows fiber lines in cities and towns. Also is there is a map available that shows where active fiber connections are available by address. FIOS doesn’t have a coverage map.

@dang could you consider not allowing one sided political narrative on HN ?

Amazing. My 5 year old was raising caterpillars that have woven cocoons. The fabric seems similar.

The same could be asked of the 72M Americans. Just because you say “what’s wrong with them” doesn’t make you right.

Has China signed on to this if so, have they shown verifiable reductions?

Adding additional context from the article. It primarily impacts Indian outsourcing companies registered as US companies such as Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, HCL, Tech Mahindra, Wipro etc. These companies have been gaming the system and making billions by underpaying their imported staff.

> An analysis [PDF] of the new rules by non-partisan National Foundation for American Policy noted that the H-1B wage minimums will require foreigners to be paid much more than American citizens on market rates. That's not a problem for the likes of Facebook and Apple, though it will be disastrous for organizations like Infosys, that import immigrant workers, as well as small and medium-sized businesses.

Basically the administration turned the tables on Big Tech. They primarily import H1Bs to dilute the employment pool to let the market take care of wage depression. There is plenty of tech talent pipeline inside the country. Just look at the eager undergrads looking for employment and other US citizens looking to step into tech field via boot camps. Increasing the threshold for the wages to paid for “specialty occupation for which several attempts have been made to hire US Citizens” aka H1B makes the test true to the spirit of the law.

I couldn’t have put this a better way. I was on the receiving end of the microservices chaos.

Move to paid accounts like iCloud email or fastmail, protonmail for critical use cases. iCloud email is free for all ios users and fastmail and protonmail cost pennies per day. Primary email has become something akin to having a phone number these days. Lots of consumer services use email for authorization.

I was going to say, it’s hard to sell wet concrete on a short window. Min back order window for concrete is 24 hours and the construction crew plans the pours ahead so they are not waiting around for black market concrete. It actually costs a lot more to idle the crew than the price difference of black market

Sounds like Boston. The roads are torn up on a perpetual basis and made worse. These are what I call “brother in law contracts”

Just my personal opinion. Don’t use Google Services for “critical” use cases like storing personal photos. If they have the ability to ban/ shutdown your Google Account without recourse, I wouldn’t be using their services for anything other than searches, junk mail account for newsletters. There are plenty of companies out there with very reliable products that serve customers with respect for a tiny fee.

Despair. They want cheap foreign labor to suppress the tech wages and DJT stands in the way.

Did you cease to exist for the past 4 years ?

Well its simple. There is overwhelming evidence they didnt play fair. They are not supposed to editorialize tweets (violation of sec 230 protection). They were free to let Nytimes publish supposed hacked tax returns yet blocked/ censored Nypost and other twitter users from sharing URLs in the same context. They got caught. Now its up to the congress on how they want to proceed to strip them of sec 230 protection and let the trial lawyers sue them into oblivion.

Thank you. What an awesome explanation. This has been incredibly helpful. Perhaps one of the web optimizations that site owners need to think about is use in-bailiwick delegations
