Apologies if I implied that it was. I think it's fine to discuss these things in a reasonable and rational way. My point is that was not happened over on X.

This is from yesterday's X discourse regarding the H1B program. The amount of mistruths and racism on the platform was staggering.

This is bleed-over from yesterday's X discourse regarding the H1B program. The amount of outright mistruths and racism on the platform this past day was staggering.
Re:Ten years after the last release, Aegisub 3.4.0 released on Saturday December 21, 2024 @03:17PM (#42481978)
Aegis is great for authoring new subtitles but if you're just looking to sync then take a look at https://github.com/smacke/ffsubsync

Plex also recently added auto-sync subtitles to the Plex Pass

Anti-immigration rhetoric always descends into fiction.
Re:Updates to H-1B on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @04:36PM (#42455604)
I think you're assuming that everyone has a price.

Also H1Bs can't also start their own businesses (at least before this rule). So that was another restriction.

Read the RAISE Act if you think that the incoming administration is going to be easier on legal migrants.

Erm they can. They are looking at passport numbers now.
Re:Updates to H-1B on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @04:11PM (#42455254)
This would be a great way to starve every industry outside of tech of H1B workers.
Re:Updates to H-1B on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @03:47PM (#42454993)
As a non-immigrant to the United States, I don't really buy into the idea that companies prefer H1B candidates purely for financial reasons. The H1B process is frankly a rigid, unreliable and time-consuming process.

It's hard for even Canadians and Mexicans to find jobs in the US and we have access to the supposedly easy to obtain TN visa. Australians too with E3.

I'm more inclined to believe that H1B workers have other benefits to employers such as longer tenure due to the restrictions of moving jobs.

Which in itself should be an argument for further liberalization say by giving I140 approved petitioners access to EADs.

Will it be available in the EU appstore?
This was my initial thought.

Is the month of Ramadan enough have an effect on Alzheimer's or is more frequent fasting required?

No doubt the RMT will take the blame for this but as the article points out:

> It’s now been confirmed that the study reached the same conclusion that every other study into the issue has already reported — it’ll cost an awful lot of money for very little benefit.

"The borscht index, an online cost of living tracker monitoring the prices of four ingredients needed to make the traditional soup, reports a 20% rise compared with 2023."

It has a pretty vocal user-base.
That's what the book Evicted by Matthew Desmond taught me. People end up in these situations for a variety of reasons.
Well there are no inheritance taxes in Canada so think of this as an indirect one.

Still I would expect for Fish to be mentioned in an article published today.
Re:Ask HN: What bookmarklets do you use? on Saturday November 09, 2024 @03:41AM (#42093307)
I run it on the offers page https://global.americanexpress.com/offers/eligible

The wrapped async function is for Firefox I understand.

Re:Ask HN: What bookmarklets do you use? on Friday November 08, 2024 @06:58PM (#42091430)
Add all Amex offers:

    javascript: var index,offerButtons=Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("offer-cta")).filter(a=>"Add to Card"==a.title);for(index=0;index<offerButtons.length;++index)console.log("Clicking offer button"),offerButtons[index].click(),(async()=>{await new Promise(a=>setTimeout(a,2e3))})();
Force paste (works sometimes)

    javascript:forceBrowserDefault=(e=>{e.stopImmediatePropagation();return true;});['copy','cut','paste'].forEach(e=>document.addEventListener(e,forceBrowserDefault,true));
Facebook Marketplace delete all sold

    javascript:(async()=>{var e,l,a=Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("x193iq5w")).filter(e=>"Sold"==e.innerHTML);for(let i=0;i<a.length;++i)console.log("Clicking Sold Listing"),a[i].click(),await new Promise(e=>setTimeout(e,3e3)),document.querySelector('[aria-label="Save"]').click(),await new Promise(e=>setTimeout(e,1e3)),document.querySelector('[aria-label="Close"]').click(),await new Promise(e=>setTimeout(e,2e3));location.reload()})();
I should really convert these to Tampermonkey scripts
Ditto Nexus. Best $50 and has paid for itself many times over crossing the Mexico-US border.
I used to use a soundbar for my computer but the only way to control volume was 1. With the Bose remote that came with it 2. Bluetooth.
Mig Switch should work then.
Same as mine. I also pass the `-r` flag to xargs so it doesn't run if there are no inputs.
This might be bad if the point of owning a newspaper was to make money.

You can audit if you put something like hoop.dev, Tailscale, Teleport or Boundary in between the client and server.

No it's like TN in that regard.
