What is the actual intent behind decimating NASA ? It's tiny compared to the defense budget and fairly high ROI in terms of maintaining US scientific leadership.
It's mostly for taste at this point, rather than safety. For a long time I used to drink right from the tap, now use a filter pitcher simply because it tastes better.
Not disputing long term damage to the talent pool in the US, just making an observation that it won't be solved until the issue affects certain groups.
they mean "bonafide job offer". What is happening right now is staffing agencies (mainly in India) mass file H1B applications for all their staff, and then once they get picked in the lottery, they find assignments in the US and file the entire petition after. This heavily disadvantages non-staffing companies who file H1Bs for their staff outside the country or those in the US on F1 visas for actual jobs.
This change is meant to close that loophole. This used to not be a problem, because you had to file the entire petition BEFORE you enter the lottery, but now you just pay some nominal fee and get your name in, leading to a highly profitable situation for staffing companies.
This is a pretty niche acausal language, and is used extensively in Motorsports (F1, NASCAR) for real-time simulation on the driver simulator.
The language spec is open source but there many commercial compilers, Dymola is the most popular.
I code in this language extensively and its acausal nature is extremely powerful. It makes your models highly composable, you can basically assemble a mechanical system like a bunch of lego blocks and the equations fall out automatically. You can also easily invert your models.
The closest analogy in the programming world is Haskell.
The executive branch cannot make laws. The H1B program and green card numerical limits came to be from Congress passing laws and can only be changed by them passing new laws.
The number of residency slots (a legal requirement to be a doctor) is limited because it's funded by Medicare and only Congress can increase it. AMA (American Medical Association) has lobbied to keep it that way.
