Hi Peter, I've heard people mentioning they transitioned from TN visa to green card sponsorship, my understanding is that this isn't allowed, have you heard of this?
I've been using flutter now for a few months and I love the workflow I can get in, quickly iterating and seeing the changes immediately. A side effect of the hot reloading I found is that I am able to build quickly and not worry about the style until later because I know changing the style is relatively easy and quick to iterate on itself.
If you use VSCode, it really is a first class citizen, which makes me happy as I am most familiar with that editor.
Overall I haven't been this happy with development in a while.
The one thing I really miss since leaving fb in March, are the groups. Things like playing in local sports pickup games are easier because everyone has fb so the groups were more active. I now use my wife's account for this, but I really wish another option had some traction, then I could leave fb forever.
Even if a feature like this adds limited value, it's good to think about whether you can just live without it completely in order to leave Facebook.
For example, consider how the groups feature was abused to prey on people seeking addiction support -- and how even in the midst of such abuse, Facebook lauded some of the organizations in attempts to improve its reputation by highlighting what good it can do.
Basically every feature of Facebook that adds a tiny bit of value to a random person's life is actually just some deeply engineered data-harvesting dark pattern that opens up huge other groups to targeted harm.
I see a lot of comments of the spirit, "I would leave Facebook except ..." with some reason like it's the only way to see family photos, it's the only way to participate in online groups, etc.
Just delete it and leave. Share photos some other way. Find groups some other way. The population-scale downsides are just so serious and severe in the case of Facebook that people shouldn't be making the choice to stay on the platform anymore based on narrow-scope, small scale upsides that it offers for them in limited settings.
The huge, up-front, unlimited scale harms it facilitates are reaching a point where they need to be a daily civic concern for everybody.
Yes, but by having a facebook account, all their needs (your entire life) are met too. 1-2 times a month to read random junk from your friends for a lifetime of surveillance capitalism. Good trade off, no?
Intent only matters at the time of applying to admission into the country, and at the time of applying for a visa. You're not required to have continued nonimmigrant intent while here.
The legal explanation for TN visas is the following:
An intent to immigrate in the future that is in no way connected to the proposed immediate trip need not in itself result in a finding that the immediate trip is not temporary. Repeated renewal of a TN visa that leads to extended stay in the United States, may still be temporary, as long as there is no immediate intent to immigrate.
(9 FAM 402.17-7)
TL;DR what matters is present intent at the time of application and every time you enter the US. It is not illegal if your intent changes after being here for a while.
I don't believe you're reading that correctly. First of all the manual you reference is not the law, its the guidelines for an officer looking at you at the POE.
An intent to immigrate in the future that is in no way connected to the proposed immediate trip.
How I think a reasonable officer would read this: If you are coming in for TN and they ask you about you intent if you say after the next 3 years I am planning on moving back to Canada but in 10 years I want to try to immigrate, that shouldn't disqualify you for the immediate trip.
The trip is the duration of your current stay, not just the entry.
This is average for the area and if you can be remote you can live comfortably here. I think the fact they posted the salary is a good thing. IMO there shouldn't be some threshold to make the post relevant, if someone wants the job, it's not like they hid the salary from them.
My apologies... It was a little frustration spewing over from another conversation. I certainly agree that it’s good that the range was posted here and interested engineers are now aware of the opportunity
I lived through this when i went to the University of Windsor, it's hard to describe to people it doesn't bother. The hum would keep me up and my girlfriend at the time almost never noticed. It was like being at a loud concert where you can feel the vibrations in your chest.
