Hi Peter, thank you so much for doing this.

I'm a Mexican currently going through the Green Card process, In the part where Form I-140 has been approved and form I-485 will be filled in October according to the company I work for lawyers.

Over the past 3 years, there have been layoffs in my department around October (start of Fiscal Year), last year the company let go key people that otherwise nobody ever suspected they would be laid off. I'm concerned this year I may get laid off, if that were to happen, how would my green card process be affected, considering I'm still holding a valid H-1B visa?

Is this a company-sponsored green card application? If it is, then protections won't kick in until you have filed your I-485 application.

May I ask what happens if its a family sponsored application?

It is company sponsored, thanks for your reply!

The Inbox webapp always worked incredibly slowly for me on Firefox but fast on Chrome. Now I only use the Android app (and only when I need to use the snooze or Trips features) for everything else I use Gmail webapp on Firefox

Looks like I wasted $10. My only hope is that with 143m affected people, they just skip to the next one if they encounter a Credit Freeze.

On the upside, you now have quantified damages.

Like putting the club on your car's steering wheel.

Do you think they're more likely to steal the identity of someone with good credit? If you've already got a house and can pay cash for a car and aren't running your own business, I wonder if good credit doesn't become more of a liability than an asset.

I've been using DDG for trivial queries, I tried using it for more complex ones but the results were very poor. Since DDG is my default all I have to do is add a g! at the end to get Google results.

Will there be upsides to adding it to other plugins though?

I really don't like the idea of having to wonder if the next plug-in/editor/IDE/etc I use is compromised by Kite or any other shady phone-home companies.

use vim ;]

What's stopping Kite from grabbing one of your Vim plugins and adding telemetry to it?

It's not an editor thing, it's a shitty package creators thing.

They have removed the file already https://github.com/SideBarEnhancements-org/SideBarEnhancemen... but I wouldn't be surprised if they compromised more plug-ins and we just haven't found out yet

Perhaps it's not wasting any network resources but it's definitely consuming battery and processing power to keep retrying those requests.
