<p>My comment was based on Saudi Arabia's expat policy. Not on the dataset. Saudi Arabia doesn't welcome foreigners moving there to become citizens.</p>

<p>These are expats, not immigrants. They aren't welcome to become citizens in Saudi Arabia.</p>

<p>The bias to action. Buffett and Taleb write about it. People feel like they have to "earn" their time. If something is good, or good enough, they still have to do some sort of "improvement" because they want to feel like they earned their salary.</p>

<p>Everyone seems to mention Claude.<p>I use Gemini.<p>My question for those who have lots of experience with both: is there a significant difference between the two in coding?<p>(Reason I prefer Gemini: my first vibe code, I used Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini to "one-shot" the same software goal. Only Gemini's code worked right off-the-bat.)</p>

<p>Serious questions:<p>1) I use "socials" anonymously. Have anon accounts on X, IG, FB. If asked to disclose them at the border (am US citizen, but it's happening to them too), do I disclose the anon accounts?<p>2) Nothing too controversial in my "socials" (I'm careful), but there's still stuff there that could embarrass me (e.g. mocking or abusing people on X). What would happen if I scrubbed my socials before a trip? Would they be able to find out that I scrubbed, and then construe something about me?<p>3) Relatedly, is there a recommended way to scrub one's socials?<p>4) Is something like HN considered part of "socials"? I assume Reddit is. So HN must be too? I've had multiple accounts on HN over the years (been serially banned until I stopped leaving controversial comments). What am I expected to do in such an instance? Do I disclose all the HN accounts?<p>5) Relatedly, I have multiple X accounts (squatting on usernames). Do I disclose all the accounts?</p>

<p>> "most Americans of their intelligence would be aware"<p>that would still leave up to 49% Americans not being aware. so how did you conclude that they were not Americans? Also, how did you measure their intelligence?<p>> "slightly more common among immigrant families than locals"<p>even if true, how did you conclude that these were not Americans?<p>> "Americans, on average, are more individualist and hesitate more when asked by family to do something criminal"<p>even if on average Americans are more so, how did you conclude that these were not Americans?<p>> "A lot of immigrants eventually adopt anglicised names"<p>from your sentence it seems a lot of them don't. so how did you conclude that these were not Americans?<p>It would be a disaster for immigrants in your area if you were ever hired into some kind of investigative/law enforcement role.</p>
