Another condition in the study is "within 1 minute". I guess the other 3 are just slower in their waking up process :)

Well, one of the main reasons that they don't work at startups is that they need stability because of the broken immigration process. Similar to Indians, most Chinese tech workers here choose to join big companies, but Chinese tech wor

Is it just me that couldn't find the feature in Spotify desk app to actually send a message to a friend from the app?

That is one of their selling point, isn't it? You got a feed of "Friend activities" on Spotify

I think a very common problem with OAuth (way beyond Facebook) is that people often underestimate the permission they are giving to a 3rd party. For example, if you use some email client to manage your Gmail, the email client would request

So many Chinese car makers popped up in recent years. There're already NIO, Byton, Xiaopeng. Never heard of this one before. I wonder how many there are. :)

You can buy stuff in much smaller portions in most Japanese grocery stores, which I think is much better. There are also some grocery stores that have the option to buy unpacked produce, like Wholefoods.

No sane people would believe indefinite high growth is maintainable, and slowdown is of course welcome if that helps avoid bigger problems down the road.
132.
by echevil 8y ago
I think Chinese government has to welcome slowing down because it's just impossible to maintain a growth rate like that indefinitely. The GPD of China already come close to that of US. At this scale, the same growth rate is naturally b

Yes and China is closely watching domestic events in Taiwan as well, which does have major impacts on the relation between them, and also on the sentiment of people on both sides.

by echevil 8y ago
Taiwan’s biggest worry right now is probably domestic. People basically lost confidence in both parties (KMT and DPP) ever in power, and Taiwan’s future is really unclear

There could still be legit culture fit sessions, like Stripe has a high bar for friendliness, and Airbnb want people to love traveling and be adventurous.

Would you mind to share is it becoming easier or harder for startups to hire foreign engineers on H1B visa in the past few years? And roughly how many percent of YC companies support new H1B applications?

Also companies often want very different things. Not only from the technical perspective, but most of them also care about cultural match, and culture can mean very different thing in different companies. So getting offers from one good com

Totally agree. Technical hiring is already much more standardized than hiring in many other professions but essentially it still is predicting actual work performance based on a few short interviews. Even the best interview process still ha

I'm sure there are lots of Chinese scientists that would never go back, but at the same time there're also plenty of Chinese immigrants (including scientists) actually went back or are considering going back when the time is right
146.
by echevil 8y ago
Unlikely, but most Chinese scientists would still publish their best research in English journals/conferences.
147.
by echevil 8y ago
Well I guess the first step would be luring Chinese scientists currently in US back to China (many of those have US citizenship and would also be counted as US scientists)

Given the scale of VPN usage in China, it’s unlikely the party could do anything about it even if it got access to some logs. Vast majority of the users of these services inside China are most likely very educated group of people, like acad

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. VPN is useful in both direction. There are quite some Chinese content not accessible outside China.

by echevil 8y ago
Privacy is not a big concern for the Chinese based VPN services. It’s useful for both accessing websites blocked inside China, and also Chinese content blocked outside China
