Google is one of the greatest companies in history, measured both in technology and business performance. Sure, not everything is perfect.

> its gotta go down for it to go back up again. I think that is the point. If it crashes it'll inevitably go back up is the expected behavior. It isn't always true, Japanese market is still lower than 1989. Measured in dollars

You're assuming people with golden visas actually live in the country. From what I've seen I dont think its common.

That's the problem though the people with golden visas usually aren't paying customers they're just rentiers who aren't contributing anything. The visas should be given to people who start companies and hire people and p

2017-2022 did seem too good to be true. Back to the grindstone! I hope all the people attracted to the industry enjoy coding so much they can put up with poor wages.

Your immigrant friends might say its hard but they still choose it over staying at home. I'm an immigrant, I've lived in 5 countries, it was pretty easy to make friends in all those places, though they were big global multi cultur

The wealthy foreigners usually dont actually live there so dont pay tax. Once you have a citizenship from Portugal/Malta/Cyprus you can live in any European country. Or commonly keep living in Africa/MiddleEast/Asia unti

Often the grumpy people are that way because they're lives are filled with fixing important problems that no one else can be bothered to do.

I think flying is so cheap and ubiquitous now it makes a big difference. 30-40 years ago if you wanted to go away for vacation you probably drove, where now people often fly several times a year.

Toyota has a lot of PHEVs now. The RAV4 Prime is awesome if you can get one. It isn't very difficult to change a PHEV to an BEV.

Lots of people saying Toyota missed the boat on EVs. I'm not convinced the technology, infrastructure or battery supply is ready for true mass production of EVs. Toyota makes 10 million cars a year, they'll be selling good EVs soo

I like to renew certificates long before expiry. At my job certs last a year but I automate renewal after 5 months. If you find a certificate that is older than 6 months you know something is wrong (long before expiry).
