In the context of the linked letter, quite the opposite...
do you know why he specifically mentioned about England need tea leaf? because he trust that if foreigners do not drink tea, they will constipate and die...

HN does not like displaying emojis, though a few slip through I believe.

I would pay a decent chunk of money per month if I could get access to all news sources. But my news consumption is never done by going to a source. I just want to read articles linked from HN or Google News or Reddit, etc.
I need something like Spotify for news sources. Ad-free access to any content. I’ll pay for that. But I’m not going to subscribe to each source individually.
Edit: I would want a way to avoid paying for clickbait that I accidentally click on. Maybe sources could be paid per active-viewing-minute and definitely not for clicks.
but people collected best article and published on HN, this is difficult to have a competitive prices when best part of your products had been stolen.
I think that corporate sponsorship of education needs of to be outlawed. We've had at least three generations of exponential feedback of antisocial principles dominating business education. Taking much longer to go hockey stick. MBAs can't keep resting on the laurels of bringing the first GI Bill gen from draft to serving technical competence to industrial relevance. For a start the foundation for the qualification is absolutely rooted in post war growth imperatives.
this sound like natural selection, if they decide to support the education that only generated employees who give their company negative influences.

I'm not sure what part of these statistics you're commenting on in particular. If you're amazed at how much experience the average open source developer has, it's worth pointing out that there's a lot of open source software development that is directly sponsored by enterprise-scale companies that use the software itself. E.g. companies that both use, and contribute to the Linux kernel such as Google, and Facebook. Another good example is Netflix and FreeBSD. Also relevant are processor manufacturers who contribute code relevant to their IP to GCC. It's really awesome seeing companies be good stewards of OSS.
if students can building so many things, it is also amazing

Is it Russia stopping exports to the EU or the EU deciding to stop buying gas from Russia? To me it seems like they are simply taking decisions against their citizens best interests.
I am so happy that EU decided to suffer for this, everyone including Russian government did not trust this will happen before war started.
