Double down. Tell all competitors that USADA will be handling drug testing for any Olympic event held in the US and if there's any pushback, we won't grant a travel visa for it. WADA and the Olympic Committee can figure it out on their own.

I was an internal Tech Recruiter for almost 10 years focused on pre-IPO tech companies. Hit the lotto a couple of times but after the most recent company (which was an awesome place to work) IPO'd, COVID, and just general career trends in that role, I burned out.
Then I spent 6 months doing nothing and decided to learn to code. It currently pays nothing because after a year, I'm only just on the cusp of starting to apply. I enjoy coding a lot more than recruiting, but my educated guess is that I'd enjoy entrepreneurship more than working at a company. Either way, it's exciting and challenging in a way that recruiting never was.
Weird that they'd do this with so many SWEs out of work. There are definitely non-SWE STEM occupations that need this but hard to see this overly-broad definition as anything but an attempt to drive down wages.
Just saw this was already posted as I was typing my comment. Not sure if I should delete or let this filter out?
Rescheduling STEM occupations allows companies to skip attempts at finding domestic workers to fill openings before they're allowed to hire folks on visas.
There are definitely many non-SWE STEM roles that need foreign talent but this seems overly broad.
When I was a tech recruiter, I might have been more ambivalent about this but the market has changed so drastically over the last couple years. I'm sure leadership at many companies would prefer to hire cheaper foreign talent and drive down salary spend.

If you don't want your art to exist beyond you, destroy it. Once you die, whatever remains is fair game.
Elon is truly the genius that we deserve and I tip my fedora at him.
I don't know about what chips Tesla uses but if they're using the right chips and have enough storage on board, this might actually be the first time this idea pays off (other than the plethora of crypto miners).
I mean who hasn't come up with "what if we use peoples' phones, computers, etc. to do compute while they're not using it?!?" as a startup idea?
I just want to point out how this bill came to existance and then passed all within ~4 days
I just want to point out that there have been stop and start efforts to regulate tiktok for years. Also this exact bill (or verisons of it) has/have been kicked around the hill for at least 2 months so its not like it came out of nowhere.
It's not about the Chinese, or any other decade's Official Villain. Its about us and our principles. Whether we stick to them.
There's no "unless they're Chinese" clause in the first amendment.
There's also no "free speech at all costs" clause. I've always wondered why we allow Chinese companies almost unfettered access to our market when we don't get the same in return. It used to be part of the deal but China was a special case and we held out hope they'd moderate. They have not, so we no longer have to be the one playing by the rules.
That aside, we're not forcing Tiktok to shut down, just forcing them to find a new owner. We're not stopping anyone from posting online, nor are we stopping anyone from posting on tiktok. If anything, this will be good for speech on tiktok, surfacing topics that were banned or deboosted by a company that has to follow the CCP rules.
