So I have an "Update available" message for Java 8.
But ... "To install the update, you must close the running applications". OK, makes sense.
View applications: "Java Update Checker"
Yep, to update Java, I have to close the app that's trying to update Java ...

And what part of this subtle hint not to update Java do you not understand?

Point 4.2: As of 2014, other common 3rd party tools such as Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader that have also been the subject of security vulnerability scrutiny have moved to an automatic self-update model on Windows that does not require any user intervention. This assures that security issues are promptly resolved without requiring additional effort by the system users or administrators.
Also means that their update can happen when they want and not when you want, leaving your system open to unplanned reboots, crashes because their update does something wrong, etc.

I understand the concept of H1-B where USA needs to bring in high skilled temp workers to fill in the vacancies.
As for all the materials I have read, they are not changing anything with H1-B. They are only restricting spouse from entering into the labor market.
Of course there would be few who would be losing the chance to work but is it not the original mandate that 1 Job = 1 H1-B visa candidate ? With spouse being allowed to work, 1 Job brings in two candidate?
Or my understanding is totally wrong?
cheers,

I would suggest contacting the US embassy or consulate in your country. Any answer that we give you will not be official, and may be wrong.

I am not looking for the official answer as I am not planning to move to USA yet. I was just wondering why the general publics reaction for and against it.

The H4 is a Visa used by spouses of H1 Visa holders. Until 2015, H4 Visa holders were not authorized to work. In 2015, President Obama issued an Executive Order allowing certain H4 Visa holders to work, conditional to their H1 spouses being approved for their I-140 applications (step 1 in the employment based Green Card process). A lot of folks were not happy with this as it abruptly introduced around 100-200K potential employees, most of them with advanced IT degrees, into the job market. Many people expected Trump to reverse this EO but surprisingly, Trump did not do that. This month, the USCIS has sent in a list of recommendations one of which is to remove this rule that allows H4 spouses to work. Obviously those H4 spouses who got jobs after the 2015 EO are highly displeased at this situation. At this point, there is no guarantee that the USCIS recommendations will pass, so it's all conjecture right now. It's not even that big news here even on Republican forums or news sites. It is big news in India apparently.

Hey, Nish!
When you came in years ago on the H1 program (IIRC), did Smitha come in with the H4, or did she earn her H1 on her own merits? As I recall, it was no bed of roses for you, but I know little of Smitha's experience. I think that a great many of our members would appreciate an article from you on your experiences with the whole process. I know I would certainly enjoy reading such an article!

Hey Roger. She had her own work Visa, so we've never really faced a scenario where she could not work.

Being brilliant in her own right, that's about what I expected. But I still think an article about the process, and your experiences in going through the process, would be immensely useful to many of our community. Maybe you could do two articles - one from your experiences, the other from Smitha's. Tell her "Hi!" from me, please, my friend...

That's an interesting idea.
And yeah, she says hello back to you.
