The throwaway's comment has been flagged. Who was he joking about? Mozart? Freud? Arnie?
You can enable [Show Dead] in your profile preferences and see for yourself. It was the usual no effort reference to a failed Austrian artist who later led Germany.
Didn't know about [Show Dead] though, thanks for the tip!
I was hoping the EU can capitalize on this, but remain skeptical as the EU politicians have noticed what kind of rhetoric is successful and are starting to bang the same drum louder and louder. Being anti immigration one of the main ideas. We'll see. My bet is China will be the big winner.
> My bet is China will be the big winner. Because China is so much more immigration and foreigner friendly?

China can turn on a dime. And they smell blood. https://www.china-briefing.com/news/chinas-entry-exit-k-visa... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC8f1qs3TGs Give it 5-10 years and the situation could look very different. If they decide to pour tons of money into it, they could dominate like with trains or solar.
I would never invest time, money or my life into a country without a functioning legal system. In a country where the likes of Jack Ma are not safe nobody is safe.
Personally I prefer looking at the average case: http://data.worldhappiness.report/chart
China still has lots of ground to make up, but they’re headed in the right direction. Needless to say, the US isn’t.

Yeah, I could tell. I was playing dumb while pointing out some good Austrians. Didn't know about [Show Dead] though, thanks for the tip!
Still, hashtag NotAllAustrians: Russell Crowe, John Clarke, Jacinda Ardern, Keith Urban, Jane Campion, the Finn brothers et al. all raised the bar.

71% of H1Bs are Indian. They might feel differently, especially after looking at ICE. Personally I prefer looking at the average case: http://data.worldhappiness.report/chart China still has lots of ground to make up, but they’re headed in the right direction. Needless to say, the US isn’t.

Looking at the average case is a massive logical fallacy. It isn't the average case that will likely determine the outcome of your case, because as an immigrant you are not average.
It’s hard for a country to take very good care of its citizens (healthcare, free education, social security, economic opportunity, work-life balance, access to nature) at the Finland level then turn around and persecute immigrants. It just doesn’t happen. It takes a lot of goodwill and trust (in citizens, politics, institutions) to get all that to work. Then clearly they’re also trying to attract immigrants, they can’t turn around and start locking them up.
Look at the history of Europe (colonialism), what usually happens is they practice and fine-tune atrocities outside then import them. Bush and Iraq as a prelude to Trump.
They could make it an even 26 by the end of the night if they play their cards right. bats eyelashes, casually implements b-tree

How would you hear of somebody getting these funds? I don’t personally know anybody who’s gotten massive VC funding in the US either, but I think it does happen. I don’t see any reason to be skeptical of the requirement to find a female co-founder, I mean it is clearly a program to promote equality, but that is an uncontroversial goal in some places.
Suspicious that the EU claims to "promote gender equality" while turning a blind eye to the male only conscription perpetrated by EU members Austria, Finland, etc
