No doubt h1b is abused. Corporations use it to structurally underpay tech labor. Shame to anyone defending this abuse as some sort of pro immigration policy - it hurts both domestic workers and underpays migrant labor. The question is - what % of this labor could be sourced domestically and what actually needs to be imported?

Ask HN: What do you want people to build?

We do "what are you building?" threads all the time. I want to hear the other side. What's a tool, product, or service you'd actually use that nobody seems to be making? Could be a better version of something that exists, or something totally new.

Ask HN: What's the Best HN Client?

billsunshine — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 01:35:59 +0000

Looking for a good HN client, preferably mobile. I mostly read on my phone during commutes and want something faster than the mobile web interface. Priorities: clean reading experience, good comment threading, offline/save for later. Bonus if it syncs read state across devices. I've tried the official HN mobile site but it's clunky. What are you using?

Nice. I've played around with this idea a bit. How do you handle the data and what do story+comment section prompts look like? Do you take the source material in for story generation?
