I dislike how they’ve started to promote some weird cryptocurrency. It’s never a good sign.

It literally is.

This article is 6 days old. The airstrip has since reopened. Hopefully they took some materiel damage to bombers, although this has not been confirmed.

But the text in the lower left corner says Plaški, Croatia. This post is off-topic here.

Norway today issued a warning against traveling to the US for those whose current legal gender is different from their birth gender. Norway lets you change your legal gender simply by filling in an online form.

As far as I understand, the US will consider a passport fraudulent if it states such a gender. Document fraud is a federal crime, so it could be quite dangerous for the traveler.

I’m sure there are many cases where tech companies just cannot find local talent, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the H-1B provision is also misused to get less expensive labor. This could ultimately make it less attractive for locals to get into the field at all, since they cannot compete on salary. It also contributes to brain drain from developing countries. Personally I’m not going to shed a tear for Amazon in this case.

They plan to rewrite it in Swift, which may or may not help.
