I don't think that flies for any sort of federal clearance.
Au contraire. There are plenty of jobs you can do in federal data centers, including in FedRAMP compliant data centers where you don't need clearance as an IT toadie. Most of the infrastructure engineers may have access to systems, but not to data, and it's pretty easy to carve out cases as to why it's ok.
Supposedly.

I took it about ten years ago, in combination with some TRT. I'm approaching 50. It didn't seem to do anything in my late 30s. Here are the costs from 2017:
Based on the cost, I didn't feel it was worth it, compared to the simple TRT stack
quote:
Sermorelin 15mg vial 500mcg daily -(90days) =$750 500mcg/day Athletic/Recovery
Sermorelin 9mg vial 300mcg daily- (90 Days) =$650 300mcg/day Healing/Longevity
Testosterone 250mg/ml Tri-blend Cypionte/Enanthate/Propionate 100/100/50mg/ml 5ml= $245
Nandrolone Decanoate 200mg/ml 10 ml =$320

This is one reason I treat OPs news source as a last ditch, "I'm bored," place to read. I've read a good number of stories there over the years, and have often been left wondering where the substance is. To blow up a news story (on TGP) to find two non-substantive edits is par for the course.
Slimy Comey and his attorneys should have predicted this level of scrutiny and gone to exhaustive lengths to over-notify the court as to what they were submitting.

Uncle Same sounds like it may actually due something about rampant visa H-1B fraud
H-1B fraud consultancies grow, with application abuse openly discussed online

Our source provided us with a list of 25 companies in various US states that he claimed were abusing the lottery system as well as screenshots of H-1B discussions in public and private Facebook groups where both legitimate and unlawful approaches get discussed.
Cognizant discriminated against non-Indian workers in H1-B visa case, US jury finds
quote:
In the 2017 complaint, the plaintiffs said only about 12 percent of the US IT industry is South Asian, while at least 75 percent of Cognizant's US workforce is South Asian, primarily from India.
Uncle Same sounds like it may actually due something about rampant visa H-1B fraud
quote:
Gee, you mean that surge to 800,000 applications in one year isn't entirely legit? Shocking
quote:
The group said the top 30 H-1B employers hired about 34,000 H-1B workers in 2022 while laying off about 85,000 workers in 2022 and early 2023.
"Rather than turning to the H-1B program as a last resort when US workers cannot be found, most employers hire H-1B workers because they can be underpaid and are de facto indentured to the employer," EPI said in a blog post recently. "This is evidenced by government data showing that technology companies continue to hire H-1B workers in large numbers while significantly reducing the sizes of their workforces."

The tech industry is a dying industry because of AI and outsourcing not because of the H1B program
You quite simply have no idea what the frick you are talking about. Outsourcing is the H1B program. HCL, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, TCS, and others absolutely rely on H1Bs to provide outsourced labor that they somehow usually pay the same rate to (64k a year) to replace six figure US citizens.
And AI isn't the reason behind most layoffs in tech, it's just that it needs to be mentioned in press releases to keep the board of directors happy.

How dumb do you have to be to think doctored transcripts wouldn't get caught? You've been able to compare two documents word for word in MS Word for a long time.

I asked ChatGPT what Bonvoy was supposed to mean (I know how it was derived, but I think it's stupid). Our conversation led here:

You’re not alone. When Marriott launched it in 2019, the internet roasted it like a cheap buffet roast. People said it sounded like a malfunctioning robot trying to say “bonjour,” or a new prescription drug for travel anxiety. Branding folks called it “forced optimism meets committee naming.”
Still, it stuck—mostly because no one wants to keep track of three separate rewards programs. Terrible name, but effective consolidation.

Yes, you did. Grass fed is always more expensive than regular grain fed. Yet I can still get grass fed NY Strip for 14.48/lb in two packs at Sam's.

It's less than that. They only need to pay them $64k a year to qualify for a H1B, so that's all they pay them. One H1B I talked to at my last client hasn't gotten a raise in seven years.
