Aww man you got me curious for a sec there.

I’ll roll it out

> it does NOT apply to current visa holders

How about transfers?

Transfers technically count as new visas and need to be petitioned. Will every new employer have to shell out 100K? If that's the case, H-1B holders are now actually indentured servants (they were not previously, no matter how many Redditors claim otherwise) because they are now stuck with the current employer with essentially no ability to transfer or find a new employer in case of a layoff.


Elon Musk would love this. Even harder for his workers to leave.


I’m unsure what he’s trying to say either. The gibberish and out-of-context replies ITT are making me think HN, like many other sites, is laden with bots now.


Just take finasteride. As a nice side effect, you won’t go bald.


No you can't.

Even if you could (which you can't, at least on my, modern, phone), it would be a workaround, not a solution.

A solution would be allowing free selection like in the browser or, better yet, ditching "native" apps for web apps, as the person above suggested. As a bonus, this "exodus" will force browser makers to iron out any UX issues very quickly.


Git GUIs like Turtois, Cracken, Lens, VSCode's Source Control are opinionated and for some reason all do weird stuff under the hood. If you look at the commands being run, a simple action or click in the menu results in a combination of 2, 3, 4 git commands that often resemble nothing like how I (and I imagine most people) would do it in CLI.

This is just asking for trouble.


You can't "send them back home." They'll just find another employer. They aren't the "indentured servants" y'all are trying to paint them to be.


Boo hoo. Give it all away to children in Africa. I assure you they'll know what to do with it.


Isn't text-to-speech very expensive? Last time I checked, Eleven Labs, the most natural-sounding TTS provider, were charging insane amounts per token. Wasting so much on scammers sounds unsustainable and just silly.


VM? Virtual machine?


Wow the HN crowd is younger than I thought.

Voicemail


I’m old enough to remember voicemail and I’ve never seen it referred to as “VM”.


Not only is voicemail still a thing but just yesterday my iPhone took it upon itself to identify an incoming call as 'suspected spam' and route it to voicemail. I didn't tell it to do that so I guess it's part of some update Apple have pushed. I sometimes wish Apple would ask me first before that kind of thing! Although I probably would have ok'ed that one if they had asked.


Dunno about the US, but where I live (Czechia, in Europe), voicemail is simply not a thing. I've never used it in my life and I don't know anyone who's ever used it, young or old.


We have it here for mobile but by default providers set it to "call waiting" instead. One of the reasons people don't use voicemail (other than not knowing it exists) is they charge you money to leave a message. Your plan minutes don't count. They probably charge you to listen to messages too.


It’s what old folks use when they could just text or email.
