schestowitz[TR2]Yeah, MAGA FREAKS... you can delete this again and again.. but this is from Karoline LeavitSep 22 04:07
schestowitz[TR2]To be clear:Sep 22 04:07
schestowitz[TR2]1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.Sep 22 04:07
schestowitz[TR2]2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.Sep 22 04:07
schestowitz[TR2]H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.Sep 22 04:07
schestowitz[TR2]3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.Sep 22 04:07

schestowitz[TR2]This is great news in terms of addressing some of the Great H1B scandal. However I ddid read it would be exempt if the roles where seen to be in the national interest (so they still have exemptions that can be abused, and will be abused)Sep 22 07:54
schestowitz[TR2]However this probably not bringing back jobs to Americans. As I don't read anywhere any rules to limit how much out of profits goes to shareholders vs investment in workflorce. So Companies will find other means of cutting back. In the short term just mean that some products \ services will get worse, until the companies figure out the next low cost measure to meet the requirements. Until you force companies to spend X-X out of proSep 22 07:54

schestowitz[TR2]@j7 you might be right about the offshore jobs, but I wouldn't count on your argument 100%.Sep 22 07:54
schestowitz[TR2]Greed has it's limits. At some point, the buck stops and the tables turn (or should I say overturn?). Or your company goes up in smoke as it happening with IBM. Indians have not brought any new business other than puffery and book knowledge. That's why jobs might go there, but no new business is being created or generated. Maybe stuff for the mainframe crew but certainly not AI where IBM is lagging way behind (except in Cramer's shSep 22 07:54

schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>One of the biggest changes is in DietPi-Backup. Backups now make use of rsync --link-dest, which stores unchanged files as hard links instead of duplicating them. In plain terms, that means faster backup creation, reduced disk usage, and fully self-contained backup iterations. </p>Sep 22 11:00
