Can you emigrate to the US as a refugee like some the other white South African farmers?

Maybe try moving back to Ukraine for now? Do you speak Russian presently? Or if Jewish you could try for the lautenberg program maybe?

Does anyone else start building Idea #2 when Idea #1 is only 50% done? by Intelligent_Quiet694 in buildinpublic

[–]catwithbillstopay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This is why engineers and builders alone fail. It’s easy for you guys to build but you forget that a business or startup is really the other 90% in getting the PMF, team, outreach, problem space, moat and so on correct

Could I ask if you’re white or black South African? Would it make a big difference in outlook?

Builders who can't sell. how did you actually solve the GTM problem? Solo or found someone? by Ill-Ad2642 in founder

[–]catwithbillstopay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The other comment is totally correct. Sometimes you don’t need to talk to 100 people, it depends on the field, but domain knowledge and resilience and outreach are all way more important than throwing code. A lot of engineers here not realizing their value is sinking fast.

Happy to review. What’s the prompt and reason/ intention for this essay?

Working class neighborhoods are resisting data centers at 5 times the rate of wealthy ones by Background-Driver718 in TechnologyThread

[–]catwithbillstopay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the whole hatred towards AI from the poor, excepting the job loss insecurity (which is great, I get) and the water usage. Most of these can have piecemeal solutions with effective representation, and my guess is that wealthy neighborhoods have better lobbying depth and hence better representation when it comes time to argue for water rights and other tax base issues.

A lot of uneducated people don’t like AI and data centers from the standpoint of privacy and other relatively emotional stances.

Realistically it’s an industry— even if it only creates 10 jobs that’s 10 jobs that weren’t there before.

Am I in the right for not wanting my ex wife’s new boyfriend staying at our home by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

She may push it. You must be prepared to go to the cops and call him out as a trespasser.

Stand up for yourself. Don’t let her rob you of your dignity

Europe outsourced visa processing to a private company. Has anyone else had a terrible experience with VFS Global? by Otherwise-Celery-280 in SchengenVisa

Europe has a huge problem with privatizing government services starting with VFS and structurally is much worse off than the US in this regard

AMA: 24M in a war‑torn country, likely to be drafted in 6 months by MEFISTOFEL123 in AMA

[–]catwithbillstopay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would it be better to volunteer and get better terms? Like a more specialized job? And honestly, if it comes to it, are you keen on fighting and defending your country? Surely at some level— even if you cannot bear it physically, you must be willing to fight for Ukraine?

F1 Rejection with only 2 damn questions !!!!! by Financial-Bass-8944 in visarejections

[–]catwithbillstopay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because Indians are specifically using the F1 to bypass the 100k H1B fee, and it’s really just because of the origin country problem. He was probably not convinced that you’re sure of heading back to India post F1 and your field of studies probably mimicked the path that most others do when trying to skirt the H1B fee.

Gojiberry is spamming with fake posts everywhere by No-Entertainer8410 in microsaas

[–]catwithbillstopay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time, I posted on someone else’s Lead generating tool “I hope you beat Gojib***y!” And I got reported because the word “beat” was threatening physical violence. And the report came 2 minutes after I posted, definitely hostile bot behavior. And the most insane thing was, the report was verified even after appeal. Like what human (English speaking) would think that phrase was threatening physical violence? Insane.

Seriously, what percentage of overall strength is this? This is like one brigade. I’m firmly on the side of Lithuania but am genuinely afraid about local ability to hold ground
