> China is far more unwelcoming to hard-working immigrants

I'm sorry, I thought we based policy on what we thought was right and not what totalitarian regimes in other countries do.

Maybe try comparing to Canada or other comparable democracies instead.

Actually it's pretty easily provable, you just need diversity numbers.

Doesn't explain the "why" though.

> But immigration should be a two way street

Why?

> if people decide to stay in the US they should try to assimilate

oh I see.

Apparently hte people who come to the US for school and try to live and work here right alongside you and me (white guy) aren't trying hard enough to assimilate.

> BTW, I'm an Indian citizen on H1B and I'm saying this

So? You're criticizing chinese people pretty explicitly. Don't try to hide behind your race.

> We only allow 65,000 people to work in large corporations

per year. There are many many more than that on H-1B. Plus you have OPT and L1.

The bigger issue is being on an H-1B kind of sucks. If you get fired you're screwed. It's hard to maximize value because switching employers is a pain. You have people who accuse you constantly of being a low paid scrub stealing american jobs. You have the risk that the US government might pull the rug out from under you somehow.

Chinese and Indian people have to put up with this for years. Decades in the case of Indians.

> US is incredibly unwelcoming to hard-working immigrants and provides no reliable path to citizenship or permanent residency besides fraudulent marriage.

From India and China (and a couple other places, to a lesser degree). If you were born in another country and get an H-1B (which is a pretty terrible system) you can get a green card in a couple years.

> I don't mean this from a US nationalist or political perspective - I'm merely speculating on the economics.

"I'm just asking questions"

> Conservative socially does not have much to do with religion

It does in the US. Absolutely does.

> sadly leaving

Why is it sad? They get to go back home instead of on the other side of the planet from the place they grew up, and they don't have to give up nearly as much to do it.

Good for them.

> My China-born colleagues seem to in general be more conservative, and Silicon Valley has become violently intolerant of anyone that holds an opinion different than the predominant view

Had to get that "oppressed conservatives" narrative in.

I keep asking what views people are so intolerant of. Tend not to get real answers.

They are actively trying to pass laws on this.

You don't believe in equal pay for equal work?

You believe in ageism?

Whereas fox remains as steadfastly committed to propaganda as ever.

CBS should fire that guy.

They decided to become a political organization and obliterated their credibility.

If they release something is it real... probably. Is it free from spin? probably not. Are they releasing things in a fair and even fashion (i.e. everything gets released unless there is a damn good reason not to, like people could end up dead)? I doubt it now.

More than relevant ads?

doubt it.

12 hour setup times and a 600 page manual should be standard, obviously.

Advertisers were never going to honor any significant portion of the population using DNT.

The correct approach is to aggressively fight back with technology to prevent tracking.

Yeah, because Microsoft is incapable of doing something for good reasons obviously.

Don't you dare give the ad companies shit for ignoring DNT though.

yes, we young people are a completely uniform group. Thanks.

No. There aren't two valid sides to every issue.

and if the next city tells them to get fucked how many times can they manage to move around before they get the message?

Amazon is going to uproot huge amounts of engineers? Doubt it. I wouldn't move just to help jeff make a bit more.

> i'd expect that kind of stupidity from reddit, but here

and the very next sentence

> Has mainstream media truly got such a hold over everyone

Sure we do, google updated play services.

Big part of the reason I switched to iPhone.
