OK now do Ivanka
US Green Card
The image clearly says Extraordinary Ability Green Card (EB1-A). This is not a standard green card.
- It's what Melania got.
- "A category for Einstein" is still a bit of a high sell.
  That's like saying your mom's like Hitler because he was a human.

Martina Dimoska, the one in the picture, is an astronaut.
- Got a million sources for that?
  -- the USA
  
  She's an "analog astronaut", i.e. earthbound
- And a cosplayer: https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/intervju-so-martina-dimoska-makedonkata-shto-go-osvojuva-vselenskiot-sektor/
  
  So she’s basically that nerdy girl who happened to care about her looks and chose not to monetize them.
  Nice.
So is the code, like, punchcards? Or is it actual hand written text?
- If I am remembering right it is Hand written and then someone takes the code and charges the Individual memory cells acording to the code.
  
  Damn, so someone sat down and encoded each line of assembly (I assume?) into machine code. Manual assembling and linking. Early years of computing was on a whole other level.
Definition of shortstack lol.
It’s a lot less impressive when you realize one’s 6’ tall and the other 4’.
- Hello.
  I recognize that you're probably being sarcastic or joking, but just in case you were curious, Margaret Hamilton is recorded as 5 foot 4 inches tall. I could not find a height for Martina Dimoska, but if we assume the black binder in her stack is a two inch binder (a guess based on seeing many two inch binders in my profession), we can estimate that she is just over 5 ft tall.
  Cheers!
- Which one?
