The 15 people charged in the case this story is about were not overstaying their visa; they were protesting ICE after ICE killed a US citizen in Minnesota.

Not a Googler, but from what I've heard from colleagues at GCP, it's is a very different organization than much of the rest of Google.

For this reason, I think it's important to listen to testimonies from both: people who've succeeded at the thing you want to do, as well as people who failed. That way, you can get a grasp of the common traits of successful examples while also understanding the most common failure modes.

This is some next level legal judo. Say what you want about the metaverse or muse, but it's clear that Meta is still innovating when it comes to its Terms of Service.

Clearly, some readers did, given all of the similar posts on the HN thread.

It's also worth noting that the article has been edited in the last hour. Some section headers read a lot more clearly and naturally now (which is awesome!).

I think it's possible to give someone their flowers for being a great innovator and also call them out for producing writing that's painful to read.

Appropriate username!

> If you don't want to be "locked in", you'll likely have to pay for that in some other way.

That "some other way" is almost never via the wallet. From Apple to Whoop to Snowflake to Oracle, the most expensive ecosystems are often the ones with the most lock-in. More often than not, the "some other way" you pay is by having to put up with janky UX and incomplete featuresets.

I saw a similar notice on a random wall at the office of a late-stage startup I occasionally visited (since acquired) -- although it was in regular sized font. I actually informed one of my friends who was looking for a job to sponsor his visa about the position, and he was hired.

I think you're confusing corporate fealty with the opportunity to make an impact through innovation. I think people like Shuji Nakamura and Carl Bosch might have said similar things about their jobs.

Despite being superficially very similar to Anthropic, OpenAI seems to consistently generate more drama. I'm not sure what this means, but I think it's significant.

This is quite good, especially given the size and the fact that it runs on the CPU.

Accepting Vance's premise, is he saying that the solution to replacing American workers with indentured servants is... removing the path out of indentured servitude? It sounds like they're not touching H1-B itself, just the path from H1-B to residency.
