* Better iOS/tvOS/OSX video playback (just buy Infuse because it can play so many titles the Plex player cannot)

* Add full context menus everywhere. Playlists are virtually useless for anything other than playback in order or randomly. Why can't I multi-select items on a playlist and move them to another playlist?

* Subtitle settings turn off between episodes

* Let me sort by file size so I can watch the disk gobbling files first

Thank God for python-plexapi and a bunch of scripts I use to organize an unwieldy library.

> In its fiscal fourth quarter, Block reported revenue of almost $6.3bn, in line with Wall Street expectations. Its earnings tumbled to 19 cents a share, owing to a $234mn hit — or 38 cents a share — on its bitcoin holdings.

The thing that really pushed me to leave though was housing costs relative to income. In Canada it has reached absurd levels. It was well into the 50% of take home pay going to housing. Here's it's less than a third.

Highly in demand professionals are eligible for O1.

H1B is the base work visa for those that aren't covered by a trade deal or haven't completed a US university program, or have and completed OPT.

The reason backlogged Green Card applicants stay in their sponsoring positions is because they don't want to restart the PERM process which is not transferable to another employer.

When a H-1B transfers to a new employer the approved I140 should be transferred too, assuming it's older than 180 days and the job meets the other requirements set out by AC21.

That would unlock a wave of job portability.

Also, it's not only Indians backlogged now. Almost all EB categories are backlogged across all nationalities although nowhere near as severe as India's.

I don't think I'm being superficial here. There are a few distinct events during the 20th century which can be attributed to the British. The handover of Hong Kong, Suez Crisis and the Balfour Declaration stand out the most.

> And it's not like the UK had much of a choice in the first place. China threatened to invade and there is very little the UK could have done to prevent a full control.

The leased territories are Chinese territory. Full stop. Hong Kong island and the ceded land could not survive alone. All of the water processing happens in the New Territories. It would have been impossible to either break up HK or defend it.

China has not rolled back any reforms that happened before negotiations began [0]. They did rollback the last-ditch efforts of Chris Patten [1] because at that point it was seen a malicious attempt to undermine the handover.

The mechanisms for China to take control were largely left in place by the British so they bare some responsibility, but it is the PRC asserting this control and there's an argument to be made that most of HK supports the PRC and it's their right to do what they wish with their own territory.

> Worth also remembering that "one country, two systems" came with an expiration date that is rapidly approaching anyway.

It'll be interesting to see what is kept. China's experimenting already in Hainan. They could structure Hong Kong in a similar fashion.

[0] The PRC did introduce PR with the idea that it would reduce the risk of majorities forming but the system is arguably more democratic than FPTP.

I don't answer for SO points but dropping below a certain threshold removes features.

I'm done with the place.

The happiest people I know treat work like the necessary evil to be endured to fulfill all other facets of life.
