IIRC The Apple privacy changes hit a very specific kind of targeted advertising that Facebook was great at monetizing. I’m not familiar with Twitters ad platform but it’s unlikely to have affected them as hard as they hit FB.

The bailout was required to keep the financial system running which keeps literally everything else running. Supply chains would have broken down overnight without the availability of capital. If the major financial firms had shut down it w

Lol, I do this whenever they ask me to re-enter my email/password for verification even though I know exactly the purpose this mechanism is trying to enforce. Humans will always take the easiest route. We just have to accept that and c

This kind of shit (accidentally doing something that in retrospect feels dumb and stupid but made sense if you were in a certain brain space) happens all the time and it’s nice the author wrote about it. I could easily see myself doing this

The world stage doesn’t really matter to Russia. It’s pretty clear that their propaganda and words are being aimed at Domestic audiences and allies. And unfortunately it’s working. If they wanted to use tactical nukes they would have likely

Interviewing has become so much better. Final rounds used to involve travel so you almost always had to take time off to do it. Today, final rounds are done remotely, and you can split them between days reducing the stress involved for the

Amazing how the current Texas Government repeatedly sabotages the state’s economy. These are supposedly the business friendly party. It is a testament to the resilience of ordinary Texans (and the Mexicans right across the border) that the

I think there’s a good value proposition for high speed rail when it comes to business travel, which is usually same day. But for non business travel, overnight does seem good. However, there is simply not a culture of overnight train in th

No they suck. Like really really suck. JIRA is shitty, slow and unintuitive. Confluence somehow makes me hate writing any documentation (which I generally like doing).

You save a lot of money by not owning cars.

Absolutely. Cities can be beautiful and livable and affordable and pollution free. Currently most US cities are not. Most Americans have to own cars or other vehicles just to get around. It doesn’t have to be that way.

I was genuinely shocked when some white American friends confided in me that I wasn’t “like the other Indians who smell like curry all the time”. There is progress in representation since then (this was about 7 years ago) and the country (w

Generally people who come via work visas are likely to be better educated and will probably be ok if they have to leave. While the immigrants who tend to come illegally are doing so mostly out of desperation (economic or political). There’s

I am so sorry to hear that and that India has become so right wing. It’s absolutely disgusting that you have to be in this situation: your Nation of birth is yours just as much as anyone else’s. Considering all the secular bs that they teac

Experiencing corporate America is also pretty revealing and useful since most tech jobs in India still require interfacing with US based companies.

Quality of life is actually pretty great in India once you pass a certain income threshold. I would argue that its higher in certain aspects especially if your family is back there.

Depends on which ones, though. And there has been a ton of investment in public transit systems, so its likely going to be a very different place after all these systems are built out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKcendj

This only really applies to a few developing countries, though. I actually think it only really applies to India. When you're creating products for developing countries, you have to build for a certain market. The one in India is enor

The price that was paid for learning the language of math is something that everyone who needs to work with these things are happy to pay. If the notation doesn’t make sense, it’s discarded for ones that does. It may not make sense for layp

It’s funny; when I was reading the HN comment I was just saying to myself “it would be so nice if the person had used the symbol for phi (φ) rather than spelling it out”. So my reaction was the opposite to yours since my brain comprehends t

There’s definitely a lot of competition but 1 Billion is probably not the right number. From the Wikipedia page for the examination required to get into Universities in HK, the number of test takers in 2020 is: 52,687 [0]. This doesn’t incl

Without understanding the OPs situation I would hesitate from giving advice. It’s really difficult to understand the root cause of peoples situations without knowing more about them.
