Markets are not global. The immigration market is highly regulated and the H1B visa is an abusive system which keeps Indian and Chinese immigrants enslaved to their jobs for up to 20 years while waiting for a green card. It’s a perfect labo

I'm guessing there's more wealthy people getting away with breaking those rules or being extremely creative with them then not.

It’s crazy to think Wall Street has never once moved fast and broken things, like the global economy, for instance.

The unfortunate reality is because these jobs are plentiful and easy to do (NOT saying they aren’t demanding, just that they don’t require advanced training) it incentivizes a race to the bottom in terms of wages - but we should do better a

No, it can’t. However, it does have a value as an interest generator. The vast majority of people who start a language on DL, will stop doing DL pretty quickly. Of those who stay, there’ll be a percentage who continue using it for absurd st

You're a customer in that case, not an employee?

Yes, there are recent setbacks, but you really need to put yourself back in time to where India was in the earlier part of the 20th century. Caste discrimination was fully legal. Women had next to 0 legal rights over themselves and their pr

My original message, verbatim: “That's not an excuse for not integrating into a culture with the bare minimum amount of effort. It is not hard to learn a language with 10 years of immersion.” Is it hard to learn a language in a year? Y

By an absolute quantity or an absolute measure? I daresay at least in India, the toleration for homosexuality, women, and general non-conformity is quite higher than it used to be. Casteism and religious hatred still exists in great quantit

Every human being can learn to speak any language in 10 years. Poor immigrants do it in their chosen nations of residence all the time. Anyone who doesn’t is not trying, I’m sad to say.

French to a B2 certificate level from l’Académie Française without living in a Francophone country. Done in 2 years by self studying and forced media immersion. It is not hard to learn a foreign language in 10 years. Also watched my parents

So many people don’t.

And yet many don’t - certainly wasn’t the case in my travels in Germany that everyone could speak English and that was coming into it as a tourist. Surely most Germans would prefer to speak their native language among friends as well, imply

Even if it was a “gradual” process it’s 10+ years. How do you talk to the people of that nation without learning any English? What about anything to do with documentation or the government? Integrating into a society can mean many things bu

I’d honestly not want an immigrant in my country who lives there for 10 years without learning the language. What a way to not make any effort to integrate into your chosen society.

It’s not necessarily the case that language preservation offers something of strict “value” (however one defines value and I do think that’s a big open question) outside of comprehension of historical documentation, but yes, it is the case

100% - people cared about browser performance and usability until Firefox and Chrome solved 99% of the problems users would ever face (tabbing, consistent rendering, security, beauty(!)) and now it’s a market that’s immune to change.

Yes especially considering it’s pronounced the exact same way.

Yes, that's how Twitter works? People reply to Tweets.

Try loading an Elon tweet and just reading the replies.

One possibility is that the Biden White House probably outright lies less than the Trump White House did. The other possibility being the feature as it was applied to the Biden tweet did not exist during the Trump administration, which I po

How am I supposed to counter-fact this? Elon's tweets are among the most favorited tweets of all time regularly topping out over 1M. The average person likely has quite a positive view of him - the right-wing of American politics defin

Elon has made no content moderation changes to Twitter yet. This feature has existed for 8 months and is community driven: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2022/building-... . The worst part

100%. Allow open, reasonably rats-limited access to the API, and use the absolutely gargantuan amounts of data Twitter has built up to sort through bots. If other services can do it why can’t Twitter?

If you have at least one or two engineers familiar with the language it is not hard to teach the rest of the team good practices.

Can you drop an email address? I work at an in-person startup in SF and NY and I'd love to chat.
