Yep, the same user started a thread that got flagged for being really bad. I long for the old Hackernews.

SO..you are saying the admin is acting because this country abused benefits. And you are not blaming the admin for stopping OPT from said country but everyone else. Do you see the problem?

I do not agree. What do you mean by EU focuses on gender studies?

Also, any country should be focused on research irrespective of AI, I do not see how AI is “coming” or how it’s related to this thread.

This is a very simple integration and the fallback is also pretty straightforward to implement technically. What’s the differentiator? Why would companies use your product?

Yes - the model is REALLY good. I try Claude at work and Deepseek personally and this is the only model that works without trying to actively bankcrypt me.

You no longer need "their coding agent". You can hook up claude code to use Deepseek. Works perfectly.

No idea why this is here. Absolutely zero insights.

Because the redaction was only supposed to protect the victims.

I guess for a lot of users like myself using Notion ship has sailed. Most of them have moved to Obsidian, with the new database feature of Obsidian, and it being free, I do not see why users would choose Notion over Obsidian.

so, this is not from a developer called zed, but instead a developer called Alberto. This is stated in the first line in the article.

Unless employees in your company are reporting to you in India, your hopes of getting into an EB1 category is close to zero. You need to prove that you've managed EMPLOYEES of your company in multiple countries other than the US.

the BIG 4 I'm referring to are Accenture, McKinsey, BCG and Bain.

This. They are just a rubber stamp on some of the shitty decisions that management makes.

I'm talking about a fresh out of college grad/undergrad.

Managers charge 400-600(mind you 25% on top of this is for travel).

I've been in one of the "Big 4" Consulting firms, and I can vouch for the article. As a "Senior" the Customer is charged 150-160$/hour and on top of that 25% for travel. The work that we did for these customers was lackluster. We used to come in as "experts", get all the technical work done from body shops in India and offshore. I was shocked to see that Customers just keep paying for these expensive services, and have no clue they are getting hoodwinked.
