Well, they’re also raising the minimum amount that the h1b workers can be paid (yes, that’s a thing, it’s called “prevailing wage”), so the goal of this is to make hiring h1b more expensive overall.

In practice, what I think will happen is a combination of more offshoring of junior by big tech, an increase in the number of h1b positions that big tech will take out of the lottery pool for senior positions. If big tech is already paying a senior, well qualified, h1b position with total comp of $300k or more, a 30% increase in total costs probably won’t make an impact.

For other fields working on smaller profit margins, they’ll likely stop bidding in the h1b lottery.

If the administration were serious about their goals of increasing stem capacity in the country they’d be partnering with higher education to drive more talent into those fields. But the admin is openly hostile to education, so that’s clearly not the goal.

Currently, there’s an oversupply of comp sci recent graduates trying to find jobs.

My guess is that this change by itself won’t do much to increase domestic demand for early in career comp sci graduates, but will increase it intentionally. The us government is doing other things that will marginally increase domestic demand, like only allowing people physically located in the us to work on the datacenters that AWS, Azure, etc run for the FedGov exclusive use. But that’s not going to create enough positions to really make a impact on the overall industry.

Let me stop you right there…

Why can’t they deport you? Does the jail in El Salvador care what the nationality is of the people the US is paying to hold and torture?

Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish.

Yes, and conscription for defense is not the same thing as conscription for invasion and occupation.

That was a hell of a ride with a really weird destination.

House of Representatives majority leader, not Senate.

But otherwise, yes.

Amazon and several other companies hired like crazy during pandemic. Now they’re trying to shrink the workforce via a combination of outright layoffs and tight policies to make anyone on the verge of quitting go ahead and do it so they don’t have to pay severance.

Bonus points for shedding older, more experienced, more expensive employees vs. cheaper early in career employees.

Oh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.

Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn’t grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it’s the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.

Another use case: when you look at activities that flow across multiple devices and you’re correlating the sequence of events, having every device set to the exact same, ideally correct time makes correlation of events less confusing.
