Reminded me of this short story. You can only experience a life in which you are alive..

What an incredible read. Thank you for bringing this into my life - I think it’s going to be one that sticks with me.

This is a great idea. We'd slowly but surely end up in hell via a process pf reduced selection.

If there was no H1B program in the US, I would guess that Silicon Valley would be in Hong Kong instead of California.

You can’t just train people and have them be good software engineers… It takes years of training to be a good software engineer (with plenty of people flunking out during the training).

Maybe there are reasons why religions that did that died out..

The fun thing about science is that it’s not hard to find science backing X claim, and one can keep going on about that, while ignoring all the science backing not X claim.

Actually, the linked researcher addresses exactly that, but not in the way you seem receptive to.

Yeah that’s the fun thing about science, you can pretend to address things too. Seriously though, there is no way I am trusting some random researcher making a youtube video…like what is that. I am a researcher and I can make nonsense youtube videos about things too and throw some science flair around it for good measure.

Nobody's stopping you from playing the SARS equivalent of russian roulette, and you'll clearly find every excuse to do so.

Wow lol, picture perfect comment, in 2026 too.

Whatever you say, boss.

Lol.

Lol, that you are not aware of these people is a concept so foreign to me that I kind of suspect you are joking. There are many people in my life who struggle with both, more people than who don’t..

Every interesting question just shows a bunch of deleted comments, so I stopped looking at it a while ago.

There is another sub which tracks answered questions. Its a side effect when focussing on quality.

At least a quarter of tech professionals in Silicon Valley are born in India. So I would guess a quarter to a third or more of the posters here are Indian origin.

India accounts for a big portion of the english speaking internet, so I wouldn’t be surprised if half the posters here are Indian origin.

And likely a decent number of non-Indian tech workers have gone to India for meetings. When I was working at a large American tech company, I was traveling to India at least once or twice a year. Obviously, very different to actually living there, but visiting can provide something of an impression.

Probably Palestine related issues. Can they even talk about that stuff there without getting arrested?
