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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It can be used as a marketing trick, possibly because of the logic in GP post. Marketing people use this to trick people, which is different from it being a marketing trick in and of itself.

I don’t really understand the purpose of these cope posts anymore. It’s getting comical at this point.

Science will generally get painted with a broad brush by the public. Epidemiologists politicize their field for a few years and consequently biology and medicine gets seen as political by the public.

Fully predictable result of politicizing science. Really, I blame the scientists for it.

The ideology is too tied in with their identity, so you’re not going to persuade them of anything lol.

It’s funny, it’s actually issue number 5 in the julia github, so lots of history. I am guessing, but in addition to it being difficult to pick a solution, it’s probably because once they pick a solution, they can’t take it back and they wanted that flexibility. And as time went on ad hoc solutions and SimpleTraits became popular, and the calculus becomes how much they want to disrupt the current code to the potential benefits of the solution.
