  • I don't think we're having the same conversation.

    This EO is about going back over the visa documents for people who entered legally and reviewing them based on a changed standard.

    The article is badly written with a sensationalized headline. The EO is written in standard legalese, and only related tangentially to the article. H1Bs likely don't need to worry too much, but postdocs on that visa who went to a protest may need to reconsider their political activity. The fact that CAIR is quoted should give you a hint as to how this EO is expected to be applied - towards international students on F1 visas - specifically those who have taken part of campus demonstrations involving symbols from foreign terrorist organizations (Hamas flag, Hezbollah flags, etc).

    Beyond that, it may be used as a stick against postdocs working on politically charged topics like climate change.

  • So the actual EO doesn't call out H1B at all, so I'm guessing this is sensationalized as H1B is the most "visible" visa in recent news.

    The context for this is likely the Moroccan national who recently committed a terror attack in Israel. He had a green card and that was supposedly part of the decision to grant him entry as a tourist to Israel.

    That having been said, this will likely result in some international students getting deported whether deserved or not. Semi-intended consequences is what I'd call them.

  • Clearly your gender field is a boolean. Which means it can be either true, false, null, or undefined. Except in javascript where for some reason it can sometimes be NaN, but only when you try to compare two people.

  • I think you're over exaggerating the effort needed for tagging resources. Between terraform/pulumi/cdk and the tag tool, it's relatively easy to make sure everything is tagged. Doubly so if you have a finance department who's literal job is to go through and do that (or ask you for help with it)

  • You can get a full itemized bill. The only thing that isn't fully broken out are elastic ips. We found that out because we were tagging everything for billing and those weren't showing up correctly.

    Mind you, it's likely a bit more itemized than you want. Like you'll see a separate line item for each price tier you paid for something, and things like ebs disks are all split out. It can be a bit...much.

  • Half grandfathered in from a period when UK was a commonwealth, and ANZAC were not technically independent.

    ISO-3166-1 has a lot of "countries" that aren't actually independent - but useful to have codes for because they are geographically distinct.

  • ~~You know the counting numbers? 1, 2, 3, so on?

    There's infinitely many.

    But there's fewer of them than the "reals", which are numbers like 1.5, 42.7, and pi (basically all the whole numbers and all the ones in between).

    This diagram is showing the "Continuum Hypothesis" which says that there might be some set of numbers that are "in between" the counting numbers and the reals in terms of size. We (humanity) do not yet know for certain if it's true or not.

    This is obviously a gross oversimplification that probably gets some important details wrong.~~
