Reply to America needs immigration reform, or it risks losing an entire generation of tech workers to countries like Canada, the UK, and Japan by TakeOffYourMask
if you look at people who work in tech. majority of the engineers are foreign, the local Americans are in sales and marketing. So this definitely checks out. Without foreign talent, Americans are going to be stuck selling and marketing to each other 20 year technologies

There is a weird aspect of the human brain that we tend to forget minor nuisances. That doesn't take away from them sucking in the moment, but I commuted for 9 years and I can't recall any one specific commute, in the same way that I can't recall any one specific diaper I changed for my kids (and there were hundreds).
I think we gave up an experience which is better remembered, for an experience that feels better in the moment. The analogy of having kids comes to mind.

I don't think they'll be coming to the UK post brexit.

In a thread I saw someone say they were looking forward to everyone coming back to the office. But people pointed out traffic would be worse, the office would be loud, and other general annoyances. I’ve been mixed since it started and I can say when I start missing one reality hits and I realize I don’t. Home is just better for a lot of reasons, but for me it’s mostly sleeping in. And traffic just sucks.

I wonder what they'll end up breaking when this goes live.

Really it should be a crime to have to keep paying to verify that you are you, the first time is enough when there is 2FA.

But there's no reason whatsoever it has to continue to be.

Sure, but the thing with that is if Twitter loses utility because of those moves, a lot of users and companies will just either leave the platform entirely or at least greatly de-prioritize it.
Twitter may well end up being the thing that's not relevant when all is said and done.

And that's not even counting the loss of interest as parties leave or deprioritize the platform due to all the issues created from either losing their checkmark or having to pay.

For such a supposedly brilliant guy, Musk sure has to learn a lot of things the hard way.

Entirely possible. I was in the office for 9 years prior to 2020, and like I said - I was super happy to leave it behind.

It was always a private company. It just went from having multiple owners to having one singular owner

Isn't that just for businesses? It's also very expensive, from what I've heard.

Well obviously people from South Asia and Southeast Asia who all have learnt English since kindergarten will want to go to the UK or Canada if US is no longer an option. I dunno about Japan though, I thought they were generally anti-immigration
