I grew up in a part of India where power outages were a thing, but not as common. In 2003, I visited Delhi for the first time and went to the movie theater with a friend. Out of nowhere, the power went out in the middle of the movie. I found is really bizarre that we had to sit at the movie theater and wait for the power to come back. Not sure why I'm sharing this, but reading hm this article reminded me of that experience.
Good to see the improvements they've made over the years.
Yes, people make mistakes and then learn from them. Sometimes not every scenario can be anticipated. In this instance a bunch of startups got caught in this mess and 250k won't be enough for them to survive/meet their employees' payroll. I appreciate the govt stepping in and hopefully rewriting the rules based on the learnings.
I assume apple can tell it's users that they cannot guarantee security of apps they download from another app store similar to how they do with the recent privacy changes? When someone like tik tok or fb realizes that their downloads are reducing significantly they'll still offer it from the apple app store.

Is this right? For a long time now, every time I visit a restaurant I get a notification from Google suggesting that I should write a review. That should be sufficient to raise the alarm bells for even non-tech folks no?
My parents visited USA for the first time when I started working at Amazon a decade ago. They saw an Amazon fresh truck outside my condo building one of the days. That night my Mom told my sister that I work for some company that delivers groceries.
I'm from India and what she really said was "iski company sabzi delivery karti hai". There's a lot of cultural baggage in that statement but they sounded worried about my future :)
My parents are from India as well. They are not the best when it comes to tech and gadgets. My Dad was super excited when he learned to share memes with me on WhatsApp. Before pandemic they were visiting me in US and I invited a very close friend of mine who works for Uber to hangout with us. He stayed for a week and it was fun for me to watch him describe his company to my Dad. My Dad "acha to tumhari company taxi chalte hain.." I meant its not wrong but I laughed so hard.
Based on a couple of LinkedIn posts I saw, that's exactly what happened. I wish they hadn't reneged offers for start dates that were inside of 2-3 weeks.
I'm not sure what visa you are on, but for H1B you don't need to quit/give up your visa with current company to start processing with new employer. Even after your h1b with new company is approved it isn't necessary to quit your current job or give up that visa. Also, if you're in software, a lot of people here can help. Good luck! Hopefully you'll find something soon.
Having been in many managerial discussions where we try to figure out how to sugarcoat the real message, I'd much rather prefer the Elon version. I do agree that some level of empathy in the email would be nice but still hate th corp version. Atleast this way, there is no ambiguity about the seriousness of his ask.
Even if they don't, I imagine they will have conversations internally to see what's feasible. It's just really difficult for an organization to move away from a product that everyone has learnt how to use. The company I work for is struggling to move away from something as simple as a collaborative editor, when I feel like I find no difference between the two products.
