My armchair take: Don't tie the visa to the employer.

You come in, you get a visa for N years, you can immediately quit and it doesn't affect the visa.

If you had some amazing skill that we needed to import, someone else will want to employ you at the market rate. (If the skill is so amazing/rare, the original employer will be treating the employee like a princess anyway, so why would they leave?)

If you really want, require the original employer to subsidize any unemployment benefits until new employment as a risk to carry and a way to discourage unnecessary use of the visa. ie, make it more expensive than local talent.

Heck that last part might even be a separate solution: tax the crap out of having an H1-B employee to "nominally" cover the govt cost/risk so they cost more than local talent. Suddenly, the only reason to use the visa is for skills you actually can't find locally.

Judges can deputize people to carry out their rulings if need be. So that's not strictly true.

So is the US going to start seizing all the Russia ghost tankers doing the same?

I hope we'll be able to craft snowballs and throw them.

LP: Along those lines, is it true you invented the machine that makes Pringles potato chips?

GW: I developed it. I did not invent it. That was done by a German gentlemen whose name I've forgotten for years. I developed the machine that cooks them.

So the German came up with the rough idea of how to make them, but GW engineered the details of the machine that did the cooking. He also makes reference to other engineers that did other parts of the process: rolling, salting, getting off the cooker, etc.

Cows are super curious by nature. Milked/Unmilked probably doesn't matter.

You can spin your hand 180° around Y (index / up). Then Z (middle) points away from you, "forward". And X (thumb) will point left.

Thus the "Left-Up-Forward" + Right-handed.

I don't follow why that means I'm wrong.

"Was" here refers to their old Z-Up, left-handed coordinates, where X was forward, Y was right, and Z was up.

[–] Philippe23@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

He references "Left-Up-Forward", so X is Left, Z is into the screen.

2D is not a consideration, even if it'd be logical. (That's where Left-handed Right-Up-Forward grows out of.)
