If ICE can walk into Google, what protection do we really have
The ICE news lately is making me seriously nervous. I used to think deportation was something that happened in headlines, not to people like me. After reading that article, I don't know anymore. Someone posted internally asking what happens if ICE shows up again. Not hypothetically. Again. Apparently they already walked into the office once like it was normal. I have a green card. I followed every rule. I thought ICE was supposed to target undocumented immigrants, not show up at companies like Google.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces bill to abolish H1B | Work Visa - Blind
I am introducing a bill to END the mass replacement of American workers by aggressively phasing out the H1B program. Big Tech, AI giants, hospitals, and industries across the board have abused the H-1B system to cut out our own people. Americans are the most talented people in the world, and I have full faith in the American people. I serve Americans only, and I will ALWAYS put Americans first.
I got rejected with my real name but got 3 invites as an American name
I've been applying for a few months now and and all I've been getting were the automated 'unfortunately' rejection emails. I checked off all the requirements and even got my resume critiqued by a career coach. I saw on reddit someone applying to same job with different names so I changed my name on my resume. BAM. I got an email asking for an interview. My name is very Chinese. but I used to go by James when I was in school.
The end of Apple
https://www.theinformation.com/articles/apple-delays-release-next-iphone-air-amid-weak-sales I truly believe this is the beginning of the end for Apple. They've had a non-product guy as CEO for far too long. The Apple Air was a crazy product and it still boggles my mind how this was supposed to be some innovative answer to anything.
Congrats Mayor Mamdani
Mamdani is extremely moderate in the scheme of things. Both in religious observance and in political ideology. Weโre going to see four years of MAGA trying to inflame every boring moderate thing Mamdani tries into cartoon depictions of extreme socialism meanwhile far left are going to complain that he lied about everything and embraced the establishment because he actually makes political deals to get anything done. Everybody will overreact, everything will get more polarized.
Meta Super Intelligence Layoff
Nothing ever has to go in warn if you pay people as employees for 60 days after you tell them they are laid off. And this is exactly how every tech company manages the process.

My direct report was laid off, and now he is in better place
4 months back my company laid off few of my direct reports without my knowledge, I got to know about 15mins before they knew. Fuck them corporates.. I told the guy that he is safe (no RIFs in sight) and he is doing great job and exceeding (he was) and next day they burned my bridge. He joined Splunk with a better offer after 4 months of being laid off - I am happy for him, I really am but at the same point I feel like I lost a good resource just because fucking management could not run a business.

The Mosaicist | Harper's Magazine
Discussed in this essay: Literary Alchemist: The Writing Life of Evan S. Connell, by Steve Paul. University of Missouri Press. 416 pages. $45. Typically I’m not much of a rereader; if I really love a book I tend to feel a certain superstition around it, and worry that revisiting it will tarnish the pure, ecstatic lambency of the first encounter. Mrs. Bridge, a 1959 novel by Evan S. Connell, has been the exception.
Sapphires of the Instant
Discussed in this essay: No One Is Talking About This, by Patricia Lockwood. Riverhead Books. 224 pages. $25. Fake Accounts, by Lauren Oyler. Catapult. 272 pages. $26. I’ve been told by more than one friend that I should get off social media. Not because I’m fighting with people online, but because I’m bad at it. I have hundreds of mysterious Facebook friends from when I was stoned in 2014.
