That is one of those grey areas. They would argue that they don’t intend to stay forever in their new country so that makes them expats. But like the post I replied to pointed out, someone from Bangladesh would not be called an expat but mi

I keep seeing this question often. It used to be simpler when there were only immigrants and expats but now other categories exist so everyone is confused. An expat is typically someone who is being moved by their employer, to a country oth

You said factual. But what is factual for you and I may not be for someone else. There are a lot of recollections in the article where sama remembers one version or doesn't remember at all and the other party remembers something else.

Ronan Farrow, the write of this article, made a comment in this thread that is buried in all the comments, "As is always the case with incredibly precise and rigorously fact-checked reporting like this, where every word is chosen caref

The easiest way to solve this is to salary rank the H1B applicants. Those with the highest salaries get picked; not the ‘lucky ones’ that get through a lottery, which puts a PhD from MIT and a new hire at Tata from a no name school in India

Growing up in an Indian village, everyone relied on the local Kirana store. Everyone had an 'account' at the Kirana store. The farmers would zero out the account at the harvest time. Now when I go back, there are eCommerce motorcy

I love this. I have my commonplace book in Roam Research. Search in Roam is not perfect and I have wondered lately if there was a way to get all of the content into a graph DB and then query using LLMs. But I haven't had time to tinker

This 100%. You also have to keep in mind that taking photos in public spaces is protected under the first amendment in the US. Yes, the first amendment has become a bit unpopular lately but even then, fighting this battle is going to be ext

The only negative of studying in the US is that it is becoming close to impossible to stay long term after your degree to work due to the outdated work visa process. But your other option is to move to Germany, which you can still do after

I remember Computers@Home. Convinced my parents to buy me my first PC after reading that magazine. The included CDs were a delight. Internet was so slow that I only ever played game demos from the CD. Haven't thought about that magazin

Steve Rinella of Meateater interviewed the hunters in this case on his podcast. It is quite an entertaining listen - 1:03 is where he explains the background and 1:08 onwards is where the interview starts: https://www.themeateate

It really depends on the publication. In a past life, I was a newspaper reporter in a town with two papers. There were strict guidelines against doing this. If you lost the scoop, well, too bad. I have seen this behavior more often in Europ

Readwise Reader for a week and so far I am really liking it. Before that, I used Feedly and Google Reader before that.

Looks amazing! I played with Reader for the last hour or so and it looks so much better than Pocket. The import from Pocket - delightful! I had originally started using Readwise to sync my Pocket and Memex highlights with Roam and it looks

Once upon a time i.e. before COVID, Bay Area had a really exciting meetup scene. In fact, going to meetups used to be the highlight of my visits here - the energy in the room was uplifting and always put a smile on my face. I moved to the B

This is 100% correct. The biggest risk is the remote country coming after the employee and/or employer. If you are the employer, and you are 100% sure you are never going to do business in the country, you MAY be ok. However, there are

Second both FT and The Economist. You can get by just with the Economist if you are happy with it being a weekly. Both FT and Economist are very good at not including any fluff, in the language they use and in the content itself.

Second this one. Absolutely amazing listen, especially if you grew up thinking hunters just go around shooting anything that moves, which admittedly, I did.

Growing up in a village in India, we only ever bought raw milk because there was no packaged milk available. Everyone had a deal with a local farmer. Every morning or evening, we would walk over to the farmer's house, pick up our milk
