I hear this all the time, yet when I was in Denmark and Iceland I found that folks never seemed to be weirded out if I started a conversation with them (when ordering food, waiting for a bus, or out in a bar for example) in fact they'd

I still hang out with many people I've known since I was 2/3. Seeing them basically every day at school for ~11 years helped keep those memories of when we were 2/3 fresh, I think. Seeing them now again The result is similar

Huge huge fan of Screenhero. We use it all the time to help our devs debug issues. When trying to help someone fix a bug in their code remotely nothing compares.

I wonder how many more are founded by children of immigrant parents. My YC batch felt 1/3 immigrant founder, 1/3 child of immigrant founder. Quite the overrepresentation since they each comprise just over 10% of the population: h
