@RyanMNeuhaus@agupta@isaiah_p_taylor 😂. These jobs would’ve just moved to other countries. If Google wants to hire someone and can’t bring them to the US. they’ll hire them in a different country. How do you not understand that. These aren’t jobs that can only happen in the US. These people can work from anywhere
@RyanMNeuhaus@agupta@isaiah_p_taylor Do you genuinely think that those jobs would stay in America if there was no H1B? Or would those jobs and eventually companies just move elsewhere? Do you think America has more talent than the rest of the world combined? Think longer term.
@phatboisingh@MikeGillYYC 😂. What I’m saying is if x% of them are now hoes, that means x% of men won’t find a decent wife. I’m not saying every single one is like that. But a meaningful percentage are and that impacts a lot of things
@Normie0d2 Even if one does, she’ll take half your shit and leave the moment everything’s not perfect. You gotta be a massive cuck to put a ring on one of these girls nowadays, especially if you’re doing well
@Shindavelly13@MikeGillYYC The boys have hardly moved further right. The girls on the other hand have swung to the far left. It’s not hard to see what the main problem is…
@Seanfrank Even staff (L6) software engineer get 1M+ offers at top companies. If you include stock appreciation (which should be counted if you’re comparing to business owners) then you’ll find L5 and even L4 SWEs making 1M+. https://t.co/50cFB3YFTr
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:
Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.
A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.
A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.
(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).
More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”
Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.
Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.
“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.
This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.
That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Nvidia's stock, which has been roughly flat since June of last year, could be breaking out IF there is so much enthusiasm for what we knew would happen in the data center world plus what we talked about last night on @MadMoneyOnCNBC
1. Spend billions to make good AI model
2. Tell the west it only cost $6m
3. OPEN Short on $NVDA
4. Cause panic + profit
5. Raise funds to actually buy more GPUs
🇨�� s-tier chess move by China lol
