Are you remote or are there actually offices there of engineers?

I'm making the assumption that whoever is sharing the knowledge has valuable knowledge. Offering value for free is the definition of benevolence. I don't know the case, so yeah if it was just people without knowledge coming in and

Yeah sharing knowledge for free is definitely hubris. For sure.

Because it blows up the whole discussion doesnt it? I think this whole thing is a form of nerdy pseudoscience.

The Simulation thing is one of the biggest pseudo-science discussions ever. What exactly would be the difference between a simulation and the "real world"? Nobody ever says anyting about that. It makes the entire question preposte

These days I feel like when I'm around close friends and family I want to have mutual experiences. We're already on our phones so much, etc that it takes away from that. I feel like this is for loner people who want experiences

Minimizing or eliminating wasted time (scrolling, etc) is success for me. That means I spent time on something productive or relaxing or enjoyable -- all of which are wins in life.

I think people move on from the early/mid 20's vibe, aren't as interested in the glamour of going out, etc... and then all of a sudden they think "I'm old!" It's definitely a different distinct stage, like

39 isn't old haha. Maybe for the hostel circuit but not much else.

Doesn't working out give you more energy in the long run? It does for me but you need to be balanced and don't consistently overtrain.

Yup. And some will even try to discount your opinion by "assaulting the messenger", saying that you're economically privileged by being a programmer etc etc. It's very hard for people on both ends of the spectrum to ta

Cool, and thanks. I think my comment is completely reasonable and obv it started some decent discussions. Replacement is defined as "a person or thing that takes the place of another"... when a town has 100 people who are German,

What part of my proposition is unfleshed or unsupported by facts? It's not like some 100 page dissertation, it's a comment on HN. Of course you could spend weeks discussing anything in the detail it deserves.

Everything you said is factual. Colombia - great it was a drop in the bucket, they speak the same language and integrate, and it still is a big albatross on society there. US - mass European immigration meant that people needed to learn eng

1. France accepts large amounts of immigrants - Fact. 2. There is no separation in these stats by country of origin, race, etc - Fact. 3. It is proven in numerous stats around the world that immigrant reproductive rates are much higher than

Yup it's a very straightforward concept (notice how my post contained nothing false, emotional, or bigoted), and yet it gets downvoted by a sect of people who simply cannot allow "this type" of free speech to exist.

So basically natives don't reproduce, we import more immigrants who reproduce much faster, and those immigrants leaving their homeland allows more "growth space" for the existing people there. That's essentially a popula

Didn't they have a lot of savings? If I had 50k saved I would never take a grocery job.

US is producing more Oil under Biden than it ever did under Trump.

by randomopining 3y ago
How is that even possible? There's a demand for engineers for sure... no?

by randomopining 3y ago
Trump's MO is to "make a deal" where we actually lose out but he gains face with his supporter cabal. Biden has literally said that we would defend Taiwan. China doesn't want to risk defeat. With Trump they know they can

Why would Poland and Scandinavian countries become friendly with Russia? Poland's massive military build up is specifically to counter Russia.

Prob more dynamic and interesting day to day getting lost in another culture, compared to going to a 9-5 in some boring office and writing the same boring code. Sterile life. Good to mix it up once in awhile.

Saving on all of that person year is like 2k bucks max. That's a drop in the bucket. Plus then you come off as a weird cheapo, no? All so that you can sit around and do nothing while retired. Which sounds boring and probably bad for yo

That's the point though. It's basically just beaches and a little South America. People speak spanish and.... ok that's about it. Money and spanish. NYC has that and much much more.
