    Would having prior valid TNs reduce risk or is there any such notion as having too many TNs? I have heard of this anecdotally but it might have been speculation on their part.

    It sounds great in theory, but is returning to the USA on an AP nearly as stress free in reality? I am considering a concurrently filed EB-5 petition and am curious as to what you …

    Ah that makes sense. I appreciate your quick response!

    Can a person be eligible to purchase a ACA health plan in CA if they're on a B2 visa considering they have been in the USA for several years on prior work visas? I know there are s…

    Irregular bowel movements, cramps that I couldn't attribute to what I ate, inexplicable fatigue. Eventually it was a bright red blood in stool which made me force my doctor to take…

    Stage 4 as well, diagnosed in 2021. Lifelong vegetarian, mostly ate organic foods and generally active. I always suspected something was wrong with my gut, but didn't think it woul…

    Thanks, I am intimidated by the process of court but I'll look into it. Will they be notified automatically, or do I have to serve them the notice? It is insane that we tolerate th…

    Accidentally submitted it without a description so I'll just put it here. Xfinity (Comcast) support is non-existent and actively lies to me about promotions or what I will be bille…

    Health really is the only wealth, amen to that. Ah, my 5FU was a 2 day pump affair that left me in a totally nauseous haze; I do not miss that at all. 4 out of 7 days is great. I h…

    Stage IV CRC as well. Agreed, for the vast majority, it is still cytotoxic chemotherapy. I used to follow these innovations hoping to bring it up with my onc, but rarely do any of …

    All good until we get a new vector of subtly poisoned training data introducing vulnerabilities if one doesn't understand the generated code.

    16 GB is a really nice offering at that price point for AI workloads. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a higher end Battlemage offering and some real competition for Nvidia.

    Intel has managed to get their drivers on 23.04 Ubuntu with no additional packages needed to be installed for their Arc dGPU offerings.

    Thanks for the AMA, Peter! What are the options for a TN visa (Canadian) holder if they become permanently disabled (cancer treatment) and are unable to work at all? Are they able …

    We don't want to do it but sometimes we do if it means getting to work on interesting things/paid competitively. I've had interviews with heavy LC and ones where I got plain old fi…

    Exactly. The only way to get SSDI is to quit work forever. On cancer (stage 4) treatment, but returned to work part time by stretching myself. However, it makes me ineligible for S…

    Exactly. It sounds so cliche but just keeping active and finding purpose really helps me cope with the day to day. Dealing with Leukemia at 15 must have been truly scary, I'm glad …

    I appreciate the kind words. That's wonderful, I know of a couple others in my support group that have survived it. Cancer is truly the most enigmatic disease, no two people experi…

    I hope your mom recovers well. I'm on chemo indefinitely so its a matter of finding a cure before chemo stops working for me. I'm only in my thirties so it might just happen!

    I love niche forums like HN because it satisfies my itch for mind expanding content. The closest I got to that was OG StumbleUpon, if you know, you know. I'm unfortunately not pass…

    Sorry to hear that. Did you get your sequencing report? That can help you and your oncologist figure out next steps.

    Sounds like advanced symbiosis. I wonder if the movement is across a gradient or whether the super organism has a control unit that makes decisions. Are we a result of similar micr…

    None of the utility libraries helped with this, instead wrote a shell script to orchestrate concurrent puppeteer load tests with jest and collect and parse reports. It is very reso…
