A lower pay cut.

That's not necessarily what this means though. Is it.

I bought a house while on H1B in 2014.

If the climate was like it is now back then, I would have waited for my GC or, for everything to calm down.

But I wouldn't have left...

Edit: BTW it was far far from a low-risk venture in 2014.

Just add a radius.

Same for me. It's always an add-on but same provider and policy.

This has been true with multiple providers on the east and west coast.

For many, the reason to pick a console over a PC is as true today as it has always been: UX.

I do wish they'd bring Gran Turismo to PC. If that happens, I think it will signal the end of PlayStation as we know it.

I used one to find the location of rattles in my car.

Still have my W800. It was a marvel at the time, still is really. The only thing that irked me what the proprietary connector - which has perished now.

All true but she still signed the document, and later acted against the agreement with the very same trillion dollar company.

If "touch sensitive" means it's a load cell then that's not so bad, simracing has used load cells for years and they work very well.

Of course it depends on the nature of the business but push that too far and you can lock yourself out of projects that require work to be performed on US soil.

I work for a very small company and we've seen by that stipulation a couple of times on anything _remotely_ close to defense/MIC/security.

And the administration can tighten those screws further if it desires.

(I am the only H1B in the history of the company, now a citizen. It would have been impossible to have taken this path with this alleged financial burden)

They are surprisingly durable. I have a tape I made in 1990, it's followed me across continents and been in cardboard boxes, basements and attics. It still plays flawlessly.

Not wanting to push my luck, I archived it. On Minidisc.

I have quite a large CD collection. Two albums from the same era are unplayable due to oxidization, same band Banco De Gaia, pressed at the same plant in the UK too.

I am not convinced that a camera fixed in place is equivalent to eyeballs with 6 degrees of freedom. That freedom significantly boosts the available parallax for depth and distance perception something fixed in place cameras lack.

I wrote a token ring networking simulator with error simulation (token dropping etc) on a 6502. 128 bytes of RAM. It was a squeeze.

I used a Hewlett Packard development system with a 12" hard disk.

Good times.
