Too convenient. I'm assuming that it's either disinformation to root out leakers and he's just gotten someone fired, it's a lie trying to create the truth, possibly trolling since that's no longer unusual for Twitter or it's a very vague assertion that the current 'form' of twitter will die which is a bit of a pointless statement since everyone can make it.

Suppose it could be true but I'd go through all the possibilities before concluding that.
 
I personally don't believe Twitter is going anywhere.

A week or two ago I wasn't sure, but now I think it'll just continue. Somewhat differently maybe [not much], but I don't think it's going to die.

Nope. The H1B ties you to your employer. Lose that job and it’s time to pack your bags and leave the USA.

How do you think Silicon Valley gets all its European, Indian and Asian engineers to work 80 hour weeks?

This is force. It is not tied to an employer, bit requires the holder to be employed. The maximum amount of permitted time unemployed will depend on your country of origin, but typically would be 60-90 days.

And no, H1B workers don't work 80 hour weeks or any such nonsense.
 
I always thought H1Bs in the US got quite exploited at times, I’ve worked for large multi-mats with huge Indian resource centres as well as H1Bs, but 80 hour weeks as some form of norm? I don’t think so..

It’s not unheard of though:

H-1B Workers Put in Long Hours to Reach the American Dream

Salil Choudhary came to the U.S. in 1999 on an H-1B visa, received a green card in 2004, and became a citizen in 2010. Things were going great until Choudhary, a freelance information technology consultant, entered a contract with Yochana IT Solutions Inc. in January 2018.
