Very different. They were not kidnapped by secret police or held in inhumane conditions in far away jails.

Yeah, all these victims are white. For years, people been treated far worse, their stories shared in social media but it never make it to mainstream media.

Sad but hopefully these stories will bring some positive changes in immigration system for everyone.

What I find fascinating is that people seeking their roots and historical family tree always stay within their religion.

Almost all Muslim Pakistanis and Christian Indians somehow trace their family tree back to Middle East during the time period of their prophets. Many times it is obvious that even if they have any middle eastern DNA, it is negligible compared to rest of it. Why not learn about your ancestors who were not of same religion as you.

And why stop at 1400 or 2000 years back. Why not trace it further back.

And in the west, with superiority complex of European culture, many serious Christians get absolutely confused when you tell them that it is amazing how a middle eastern religion took over the entire Europe and the west. Some people even deny that Christianity is middle eastern.

While dramatic, and sometimes necessary to set yourself on fire but most of the times your children will be better off if you push through the storm without burning yourself. They will suffer cold a little longer but watching your parent burn to death will scar them for life.

And that is the problem with child support system. It is ready to burn the father as the first option instead of last resort.

As sibling comment said, this is not correct.

In wedding and portrait photography, many clients think that they own copyrights to the photos but they don’t and sometimes get in trouble for violating photographers’ copyrights.

I agree but sometimes system is setup in such ways that you can never reliably support your children.

I have met a few people at work who feared jail time whenever there were rumors of restructuring or layoffs. Even with their tech salaries, they had no money leftover for emergency fund. And if they don’t pay child support, they’ll go to jail. How are they supposed to support their children from a jail?

People join wrong companies all the time and quit in less than a year. Same goes for companies, plenty of people get laid off during their first year. It sucks but it also gives us more liquid labor market where employees and employers know that they can get out of bad relationships easily. (And it usually favors employers)

One or two stints like that are not a problem. Nor is gap in resume should be an issue. (Yes some old school managers want perfect resume but many more understand that people now take time off to explore other interests, travel, start their own ventures etc)

The key is to keep switching teams. If you stay in same team for a long time, your manager will start pushing you for promotion, either because they like you and start feeling bad for you or maybe they are pressured by their higher ups.

Yes. It is just a broken process or overworked recruiter, nothing personal. Yes, it is rude but that is life.

Use them as opportunity to practice your interview skills. If this time they make an offer and you have another offer, use that to negotiate hire salaries. And if you decide to go with the other company, ghost this company.

The world is also moving away from American companies. Startups in the US will not grow as fast. European and Chinese markets beat American markets last year, so capital is moving out of the United States.

Probably, harder to raise money or exit.

On the other hand, with lack of regulations, it might be easy to offload cost on to public. I suspect we will see a lot of scammy fintech, environment destroying projects, alternate medicines, and snake oils. I am actually excited and bullish on CRSPR and genetic editing tech.

There are some inconsistencies between function names and some quirks. I haven’t used PHP for a while, so cannot recall exact issues. Based on other comments, it seems PHP has resolved many of these problems.

I think most of people saying that other languages are “better” are just repeating outdated information.

Indeed. For most projects, you want to start with a framework but that applies to almost all of the languages.
