I used to work for a manager who would blatantly say "I will not hire a white person for this position". Of course, it wasn't an official policy to exclude people based on race. I'm pretty sure that would be illegal? But in practice, some hiring managers would sometimes reject or not even consider candidates of certain races. I've also seen people on hiring panels lower standards explicitly because of "diversity" (but to be fair, only when the candidate was on the fence of hire/no-hire).
Russians need a travel visa to go to any Western country and most of the world. Some EU countries are banned Russians from entering; the US is not issuing travel visas in Russia anymore.

ClickHouse is licensed under Apache License 2.0 and Yandex is incorporated in the Netherlands. What are your concerns with it being developed by russians (other than xenophobia)?
I'm relatively new to the US, can anyone explain why Asians or LatinX people born in the US in middle-class families should get better treatment than "white" immigrants who recently came from poor Eastern European countries?
The funniest thing is that people calling themselves liberal are often racist (towards white and sometimes asian people). I'm an immigrant from a poor Eastern European country where salaries and quality of life are lower than in many South American countries, and I'm constantly judged based on my skin colour.
> I have to immediately force myself to be twice as charming, friendly, witty, and intelligent sounding as the equivalent white or Asian person just to be taken seriously.
I switched to Fork a few months ago from GitKraken. Fork is faster and it's using much less memory, it's nice to see developers who still care about usability and performance rather than about development speed.
You don't have to exercise, but keep in mind that way you'll go from being fat to being skinny fat. I made that mistake myself and to be honest my body looked better before losing weight.
You probably wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood where a house costs $35k. I used to live in Philadelphia, the median house price was around $100k, but it was skewed by neighborhoods with high crime rates.
How did the company decide who to lay off? They didn't even ask EMs?
