You're technically right. I was just speaking industry parlance because everyone still just say McLaren. You'll get blank stares if you say "Motion Applied".

F1 vehicles have a lot of actively controlled systems - Engine, MGU, Diff, Brake Bias, Aero etc. Their way of allowing active control but preventing "driver aids" like traction control, torque vectoring is to tightly regulate and give them a box where they can place their controls and what inputs they are allowed to use.

The firmware situation is mixed. The ECU hardware is a standard TAG700 from McLaren. Basically these are software-defined ECUs where you can do whatever. However, FIA has some rules on what you're allowed to modify and has some "compulsory" software in there for monitoring and competition regulatory reasons. It appears there was very limited testing of this module in wet conditions which seems to have affected a lot of vehicles. (I work in Motorsports)

How is this different to casadi ?

Citizens are always favored. It costs way more money, lawyers, time and paperwork to hire someone on a visa. HR hates it.

Still doesn't clarify what happens to people adjusting their status from F1 to H1B inside the US. Is that a new visa ?

What is the actual intent behind decimating NASA ? It's tiny compared to the defense budget and fairly high ROI in terms of maintaining US scientific leadership.

It's mostly for taste at this point, rather than safety. For a long time I used to drink right from the tap, now use a filter pitcher simply because it tastes better.

No law required ? Is Executive order sufficient to create new visa categories ?

Not disputing long term damage to the talent pool in the US, just making an observation that it won't be solved until the issue affects certain groups.

Issues with immigration will be fixed once Europeans start reporting difficulties obtaining visas and green cards. Until then it's business as usual.

Smart move. One typically needs to move jobs to get promoted anyways.

Spouses on H4 cannot work unless the primary H1B has an approved I-140 immigrant petition. It's not automatic.

they mean "bonafide job offer". What is happening right now is staffing agencies (mainly in India) mass file H1B applications for all their staff, and then once they get picked in the lottery, they find assignments in the US and file the entire petition after. This heavily disadvantages non-staffing companies who file H1Bs for their staff outside the country or those in the US on F1 visas for actual jobs.

This change is meant to close that loophole. This used to not be a problem, because you had to file the entire petition BEFORE you enter the lottery, but now you just pay some nominal fee and get your name in, leading to a highly profitable situation for staffing companies.
