This was surprising. Marissa Mayer and her had a lot of beef back in the day. She is also why Marissa quit Google and went to Yahoo as CEO.

Oh boy. Lot of startups have "acquisition" as exit strategy. That needs re-thinking. As tech giants grow, they are less able to acquire startups. Even Visa buying Plaid was blocked.

Can't wait for macOS to have a good built in solution (better than iCloud Keychain). Then I can ditch a 3rd party password manager. In 2022, all major OSes should have a solid built in one. They should maybe acquire 1Password.

Sure, you can have intent to get a Green Card. But you might not get one. Intention does not give you the right to demand one. Being eligible does not mean anything.

They are not promised anything. That is not how the system works. I-140 is Application for Immigrant Worker. You have just shown intent to immigrate. US is not "promising" you a Green Card. When you file I-485, you are actually applying for one. Which can be decades away. Again, US immigration is built on diversity, its not merit-based. People say its a broken system. Is its not broken. It is designed for diversity and works well as per its design.

It is only broken if you assume its merit-based. But its a diversity based system. People need to understand that.

The main problem here is that H1B is a Temporary visa, with option to get a Green Card down the line (decades later). Most of these workers assume that H1B (temporary visa) = being able to live in the US forever. So they get mortgages & buy homes on temporary visas and then feel entitled to be given Green Cards. I think the US needs to clearly separate Temporary Visas & Green Cards, and make it clear that H1B means they have to go back to their own country eventually. But yeah, the layoffs suck. At the same time, some of the foreign workers feeling they are entitled to Green Cards (and demanding them) is ridiculous.
