Much of the companies/startup’s and vc’s are dominated by immigrants coming in from europe and asia. That ecosystem was fueled by immigrants before them. The only reason people seek out this geography is most global media attention is given here.

There is nothing special about US in itself that makes it lucrative for any one to stay. No wonder these calls of promoting local ecosystems in their original geography is heard again and again.

The culture is very different in the US. You are viewed as American after you’ve been here awhile but the same cannot be said for other places.

I just realized that the reason the status isn't updated is cause they can't access it lol.

We're not seeing any connectivity issues between pods and vms in our vpc, but your mileage may vary.

Does anyone know if instance-to-instance networking has been affected? My Redis instance has been throwing a lot of connection errors.

I installed it. I really wanted to love it but it’s bad. It’s very busy and the proportions in the Settings app are awful. It’s on the “cozy” side of things (as opposed to “compact”). This means you see less options at one time on the screen and have to scroll more around the OS to get where you need to.

As for accessibility… It’s hell. Have a look: https://imgur.com/a/6ZTCStC

That could be fixed I feel by decreasing the background opacity.

Out of everything wrong in this comment the funniest one is "Even Amazon orders […] suck"

Care to elaborate? Last time I was in the US my prime order took over a week to be delivered because it had to get shipped from a warehouse in rural Ohio to San Diego. Here in Germany you get absolutely everything next day because the country is about the size of an average US state.

If you live in a major metropolitan area in the US it’s basically same day more

They have access to the whole European union?

People value not having to step over the homeless to get to work, lower crime, free healthcare, no risk of deportation for having a view on Palestine etc etc

The US isn't that pleasant of a place to live.

Axsuul · 4 months ago
All those things you mention are certainly bad in some parts of US but not most.
