I think this makes sense.. mind-muscle connection, coordination, efficiency of lifts.. you can lift more and do it more efficiently without your muscles necessarily actually being bigger.

Re:US Suspends Visa Program for Tech Firms Including Microsoft on Thursday October 08, 2026 @01:30PM (#50008911)
Well it does impact h1b because h1b has a maximum time of 6 years unless the visaholder has an approved green card application. So, by blocking new green card applications (at least the most common path) this effectively puts a ceiling on the number of H1B visaholders.

The problem with H1B and some of the other employment visas is its really difficult or impossible for the worker to change jobs. JD Vance calls them indentured servants. I suspect the situation for actual indentured servants is a bit worse but in any case the workers dont have a lot of options at their disposal. They cant just leave without losing their visa. So their “choice” to work for less money isn’t really a choice at all.

Now is the answer to make things worse, as they’ve been doing (removing the 60 day grace period after losing a job)? Or is it to liberalize the program. Maybe increase standards but make it easier for workers to move jobs?

nothing is stopping you from doing that though. in fact you should continue to do it! but not everything is worth wrestling with all of the time..

unless the CFOs can figure out the cost benefit of humans vs robots it might happen.. They might start to question the value of Steve’s $50k/month Claude spend.

twitch doesnt actually require tls. it uses plain rtmp over port 1935 and rtmps over port 443.
