A woman in France was scammed out of €830,000 after believing she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt.

You can see where I’m going with this. A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals.

As it turns out, these are ALL Indian companies that import H-1B tech workers en masse:

Cognizant (93k)
Infosys (61k)
Tata Consultancy Services (60k)
Wipro
Capgemini
HCL
Compunnel
Tech Mahindra
Mphasis

These aren’t American companies that needed international talent to fill critical roles. They’re foreign companies that appear to have been founded to place overseas tech workers into US companies as contractors.

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵

Willow is zero evidence that there is a quantum multiverse.

Every major interpretation of quantum mechanics, including all those that don't posit many worlds (relational quantum mechanics, QBism, etc.) predict that quantum computing should be possible, equally strongly.

Underdiscussed in personal finance:

Kids who were raised in an upper middle-class lifestyle and now, as adults, have no chance of living that way

People see their feelings of hopelessness & revenge spending, but few understand how social policy has encouraged this

a heavily pregnant housewife with six toddlers, living on what appears to be a modest salary, is not having a good time. This is a political view that benefits men

Jensen founded Nvidia at 30 with just $200.

👉 He sold 20% of the company to his lawyer for $200 (now worth $380B)👉 Bought a Mac to make a pitch deck on software called Persuasion
👉 Was clueless for the first six months

His lesson? No task is beneath him!
