Taking it to the reducio ad absurdam: if there truly was an untapped talent pool of tens of thousands of MENSA-level engineers, in #India, then it would be trivially easy for #SiliconValley VCs to fund a multi-million-dollar startup in India and hire local talent.

The existing procedural hurdles under the #H1B program are not very demanding, but hiring locally, directly in India, would be even faster.

Yes, but #India is 1.4 billion people. Such a talent pool, you can't possibly compete with the top 0.001% of competitive shitters.

India spends $715 million on academic journals, but with the wrong kind of open access

Numerous articles here on Walled Culture have chronicled the struggles to turn the aspirations of open access to knowledge into reality.

In Slate ,I explained that car bloat is now a global problem, not just an American one.

Worldwide, SUVs alone now comprise ~half of new car sales. The avg European car gets 1 cm wider every 2 years.

That's bad news for climate change, as well as for safety.
