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.
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.
If this is what AI is going to look like in practice it's a big letdown.
Science fiction has been predicting what an AI would be like for over a hundred years, there was even one in a movie in 1927. We're so far from what we dream that, to me, it feels like a mere leaf blowing in the wind compared to the Wright Flyer.
Considering we spend most of our lives trying to increase the standard of living for ourselves and for others it's not all that surprising people resist reducing it, is it?
I believe systemd-networkd has its own implementation of DHCP and therefore doesn't use dhclient. But I wonder if it's behavior is any better in this respect.
Direct targeting basic car maintenance alone covers a lot of ground doesn’t it? cars, spares and consumables, accessories, tools, car shows, workshop equipment, vacuum cleaners, mechanical things in general and diy... it’s endless.
Edit: ok endless is hyperbole, but content targeting is hardly useless.
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.
