Hello,

I had same experience. But i do have nice friends, but this friends aren't like me in one thought. They hate IT related works. Due to this, i live alone, i went hospital alone , i even goes pub alone. I do have lonely life but i think i have chosen it. I am the person who responsible for this or you can say the circumstances made me.

Now, i am moving to silicon valley with a hope that i may have good time with my bodies to whom i work with.

The only thing i can do now i dont think about this too much.

If you really very concerned and want all your social life back i guess you should join some big MNCs. The life is really awesome there(i never experienced it but i have seen many people)

The choice is up to you. Think about this closely. What is the thing that keeps you away from the people, find it and abandon it.

Making friends in a new place can be difficult, especially if you have finished school and are living in a big city. It's not an uncommon thing to struggle with, a lot of people have it this way - introvert or not.

My tip would be to get involved in some activities you like, sports or otherwise. That way you'll meet new people, that you interact with in that setting. Of course, taking it from that setting to other settings can be the hard part, but after a while when you get to know people you'll see who you're getting a long the best with. A simple question like "So, what are you doing this weekend?" can go a long way.

Meeting friends is a bit like hooking up with girls and dating in general. Find the ones you get a long with well, don't come off too needy and then make a suggestion when the time is right.
Hey!

I guess you were probably raised in a buddhist family so I don't know if you can apply the
same thing with your belief, but for me, being far from my home town is not a
big deal since I really feel at home when I go to church. People at my church
are like a family for me. And I find it like that almost everywhere I meet
christians. I get the same support, feeling of belonging, etc. that I would get in
a family.

Also, "How to make friends and influence people" is a good book I recommend
(started reading it recently).

And like someone else said, try talking to someone new every day. Maybe to other asian people at
first if it's easier for you.
This guide helped me with that: http://www.wikihow.com/Talk-to-Strangers

God bless you. :)

If you live in London, than you know that London is the only place worth mentioning, or even acknowledging, in England and thus if it happened in England and is worth mentioning, it must have happened in London.

It's actually called the Ben Franklin effect[1], since he remarked upon it: "He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged."

In Germany, even uploading copyrighted works is punishable by law. Downloading is, too, if the source is clearly illegal.

Most content owners do not file criminal charges any more these days, since extorting people for cash is far more profitable (and less likely to generate bad PR) than filing criminal charges.

Also, the German system works in the way that e.g. in a bar brawl first you file criminal charges (here: assault), then the aggressor gets sentenced to jail or fine (to be paid to the state), and then with the verdict you go to a civil court and sue the aggressor for damages.

If I understand US courts correct, they summarize both into one court.
Get out of your head. You are perfect the way you are. Live in the moment. Love yourself. You don't need anybody else to complete you.

Find something that you are passionate & knowledgeable about that others are also passionate about. Preferable with women. Join meetups.

If you are knowledgeable, you can be an authority figure, which is high status.

Exercise, preferably with other people. Get used to being around confident people.

I personally like yoga. Particularly Kundalini Yoga, since the practice emphasizes social interactions & it's practitioners are full of love.

Figure out what you are good at. You can also get friends who compliment you. For example, you may want to find someone who more socially inclined, but not good in an area that you are good in. It could be mutually beneficial.

Make sure that you are giving & receiving from the friendship. Don't allow it to be a one-sided friendship or someone will grow resentful & not in control over their own life.
There's a helpful bit of writing about garbage collection on http://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow...

I have always found the opposite - a debt that can't be paid back is the best way I know of for creating an enemy. If you ever really help someone make sure you cancel it as soon as possible by asking for something in return. It doesn't matter if what you ask for is small, but you must release the recipient of your debt as soon as possible.
Join a meetup.com group of movie lovers (or whatever you enjoy, but avoid too-geeky groups). Slowly get to know people attending the meetups. Just be nice. Don't be afraid to politely express your opinions. When you see someone that seems alone or new to the group, be the first to approach them. You can meet tons of interesting people this way.
Looks like pareidolia to me.
If you read the sentence you quoted, you'll see that you agree with it : It says that Democratic elites (even those that are more concerned with social and cultural issues) don't really care about an issue until it affects their own children. Assuming the elites aren't poor, then the poor (by that stage) have already gone by the way-side.
A sensible suggestion among many canned responses.

I would say "get used to being alone", though. If you are OK with being alone, you don't feel lonely very often.
Find some hobby that involves getting together with people. I'm not even saying it has to force friendships, just something that starts in a group. Anything from martial arts to book club will do. Tech meetups may be interesting - if you give a talk, there's always going to be someone to chat with afterwards.

Basically don't force it. If you're in places where you're surrounded by people, you're going to meet some of them better, whether you want it or not :)

I assume OBE here means Order of the British Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_British_Empire).
The first advice works because by being candid and genuine, you are willing to make yourself vulnerable, and it means implicitly that you the trust the person you are talking to. And it will be easier for the other person to open up as well.

It also works in professional settings. It is better to work with people who are willing to say upfront "I don't know", rather than keeping quiet and ending up doing a bad job, because they were afraid to look weak.

So if you want someone to confide something, tell them one of your secret first. (But do not plan it in a Machiavellian way or it will surely backfire, the key is to stay genuine and really care at all time.)
You are not asking how to meet people, you are asking how to meet the perfect people for you who will be available only when you want them.
you are turning down all opportunities to actually meet people.

Maybe you have a responsibility to your society to the same degree that society has a responsibility to take care of you. How's that fit in with your philosophy? Maybe the best way to live your life isn't what you might want for yourself.

It's interesting to see my views kind of in parallel in this instance with polar ideological opposites. One the one hand you have libertarians who don't want to pick up the tab for your life, and on the other you got social justice warriors like me who think that with social security comes social responsibility.
Lots of things can ruin your life, including having friends IRL. It's a reason to be mindful, not to ban it from one's life.
>It is somewhat unfair to dismiss Rust as an unfinished beta in comments on an article that demonstrates how the Swift compiler isn't even up to beta standards.

I agree, didn't intent to dismiss Rust per se -- I like Rust.

Just wanted to give a perspective. Swift is in beta (and buggy), but Rust (if the OP compared it to that), isn't even syntactically stable.

Based on what we know, Swift will be in a (pretty much) stable condition come Fall, for the OS X release.
why don't you try online meetups ? join teams on meetup.com or couchsurfing. find activities like tea gathering or sports.

Also, what about friends of friends and colleagues at work, you can start there as well.

He's already one of the most highly paid heads of government in the world; he earns about 25% more a year than the US president.
Yup, I agree with you on that point. You need some amount of self control. It's easy to just play and delay everything else. You need to know when it happens. But it's still good for meeting other people.
What would you want in a 5.0?

I feel the OS has been updated a lot in the last year or two but mostly by app updates as Google is now moving a lot of their stock Android apps to the play store.

Much sought after features like a tighter Hangouts/Voice/Sms integration would 'only' need an app upgrade as opposed to a new OS.
> This part of England has the same weather throughout most of the year

Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. We have seasons over here - clearly defined seasons. At the moment we're enjoying hot sunny days, rainy nights. We'll probably have some good snow in the winter, and a variety of things thrown in between now and then.

If you're a fan of weather, then the UK is a great place to live. If you don't like weather then somewhere like California is a better option with its relentless boring sunshine.
Your goal is unrealistic. Start local and small. Find a local small business that needs a branding refresh. Do an amazing job. From this you will get the best kind of marketing - word of mouth. With the referrals you get from this, do an amazing job again and again.

Don't limit yourself to startups - this is why you are failing. Take any business that needs design (they all need design). Never turn down work. Treat every job as if your life depends on it (it does).

If you do all of the above consistently for a couple years, then and only then will you get the client base you desire. When that happens, still take the small jobs.
Personally I think the "geekier" the better. To paint with broad strokes, geeks are passionate and indiscriminate. If you've got some subject matter you're quite passionate about, chances are you don't need to lean on your ample self-confidence to discuss it with other people who share the passion.
I've lived for ~8 years in London, and ~8 years in Bangkok, a few years in Oxford, and a bit of time in some other random places.

The striking thing about London is that EVERYWHERE is an hour away, and that impacts your social life. Unless you live or work next to your friends, prepare to see them rarely. In both Bangkok and Oxford, social life was effortless - someone would SMS you in the afternoon, and you'd swing by some restaurant or bar on your way home to see them. Oxford, everywhere was trivially walkable, Bangkok taxis are virtually free, but London? It's an hour on the tube. Because of this, everyone is BUSY. Busy all the time. If I want to see my friends, I book 6 weeks in advance - and I live relatively central (Zone 2, Camden).

Summer in London is amazing - the parks are fantastic, there are some good bars ... winter is cold, rainy, and grey, and bluntly we're moving from London because we can't take another winter here.

Just my 2p.
On the contrary, actual Londoners give plenty of credit to the rest of the country for things that happened there. It tends to be ignorant foreigners who assume that anything in the UK must have happened in London.
Sorry to hijack, but I literally just launched something very similar:

I get the impression that a college education in the US is more like a high school degree in Germany

You got the wrong impression. Not a little wrong. A lot wrong. The US has many top-flight schools. And I'm not talking about the Ivies, either. I'm talking about small schools that excel by every authentic educational metric (student-teacher ratio, research excellence, undergrads who go on to graduate work and PhDs, etc).

I'm not convinced you read my comment, so I'll repeat it in tl;dr format for your convenience:

Once you tally up life-time CO2 emissions for solar & wind, including storage, new transmission lines, and loses for 3000km long transmission lines, neither of them stack up very well compared to, say, gas or nuclear.

And saying "nuclear is unsafe" is nonsense. Nuclear kills fewer people per unit of electricity produced than even roof-top solar [1], including the deaths from Chernobyl and the deaths from the evacuation of the area surrounding Fukushima Daiichi. (I say "deaths from the evacuation" because, as yet, no one has died as a direct result of the core melt downs [2]).

Saying things like "nuclear is unsafe because of Chernobyl / Three Mile Island / Fukushima" is like saying "Air travel is unsafe because of the Hindenburg disaster".

Burning coal for electricity has released in to the environment more radioactive material than nuclear power ever will. It's the only current technology base-load capable electricity generator that has a completely closed fuel cycle.

Additionally, we need to move away from saying things like "Australia would be amazing for" this or that technology. Aside from the evidence pointing toward 'renewables' being a dumb idea environmentally and economically (just look at the real world data), if China and India and the USA don't do anything about their emissions Australia might as well not even bother. If Australia doesn't do anything about transport (14%) [3], direct fuel combustion (15%) [3], and agricultural, emissions (15.9%) [4], we might as well not even bother. Electricity production emissions account for 36% [3] of Australia's GHG emissions.

> One last thing... I'm not sure that this will help any, but language is really tricky. I'm an American living in New Zealand. I'm sure my language issues pale in comparison, but I am constantly second-guessing myself. It's not that I'm worried that people won't understand me, it's that I'd rather communicate in a way that's natural to the people who are listening to me -- I'm sure you can relate. What I'd say is that while there are a whole host of issues due to you being a non-native English speaker, there are a lot more issues that come from you being in a different country. Personally I'd advise focusing on the latter type of differences (they're more fun to me, anyway), and the language differences will follow. In turn, discussing those kinds of things with people is a great way to make friends.

Learning how people use language is just as much of a hurdle as learning the grammar, words, etc.

I can't think of any off the top of my head but there are ways of saying things in New Zealand that are totally normal, but exceptionally rude in the US (and vice versa). Have you run into this?

Good for him, but I don't get why in our day and age anyone would care about meaningless titles like this. Why do intelligent, educated people accept still play this whole sir/knight/duke/price/king charade?
Point taken. I'm one of those ignorant foreigners who only lived there.
I love London and lived there for 17 years. But in the end, the combination of most of our friends moving out of town, and the rest being friends by appointment only (sort of like you described) and commercial bankers taking over our neighbourhood and pushing cost of living through the roof, meant that we ended up leaving. Loved living there, not looked back and missed it.
> There is value in degrees like philosophy and other "questionable" majors

Yes, there is value in philosophy etc, but it is value for you. It is selfish. In a fair and free market society you need to give in order to receive. Once you render yourself unable to deliver value to others, you shouldn't expect others to deliver value to you.
Even for non-introvert people, it may be difficult to make friends when moving to a different country.

When I was living in the US, it was quite hard for me to make american friends. Probably because of the language barrier, and also because the "natives" don't feel the urge to make new friends as they have groups of friends already.

On the other hand, it was much easier to bond with other foreigners, especially people from my country or with similar culture. At least as a starting point, I think your best bet would be to find other asians who you could relate to.

Besides that, just taking place in various activities will eventually help you to make friend (but it can take time). But not all activities are equal for that matter so you may need to try a few ones. For instance, I was in a swimming club where people barely talk to each other. And in a boxing class where I made a bunch of diverse friends.

As for meeting women, online dating is the way to go I suppose. Living in New York, i was very surprised how easy it was. Actually, I found it much easier to find girlfriends than friends.

I actually think London gets a bad rep for its weather. It is certainly not as good as Stockholm, but not as bad as its reputation.
>The point is, that this is an artificial arbitrary, a line drawn in the sand by market - not technological - forces

That's wrong. Platforms are different, and offer different APIs and frameworks, because of technological forces too, not just because of some corporate conspiracy for lock in.

Case in point, even Open Source OSes offer different platforms and incompatible frameworks. Not all are just a UNIX/POSIX clone.

VMS has a different philosophy to UNIX. Lisp Machines even more so. Windows. BeOS. Etc. And that's the core OS. The same goes for platforms and desktop level stuff.

Having the same stuff (APIs, GUIs etc) work in all platforms the same, kills diversification and competition between technological implementations and design philosophies.

>I've built big Android and big iOS projects. Neither one of them is better than the other, in any sense whatsoever; both platforms have their thorns and pitfalls, and maintaining two separate codebases, with all the pitfalls, is just counter-productive.

Well, that's like your opinion man. I find iOS vastly superior for most of my uses cases.

I surely don't wish iOS and Android got merged into the same codebase.

Managing/balancing debt might play a role in friendships, but friendships are not about debt. They are about people who care about each other's lives.

I'd much rather have a friendship rooted in love/care than in manufactured debts. I wouldn't see the latter as much of a friendship.

I agree. I went to uni in London for a year - worst decision ever. It's not somewhere you can just meet up with friends who live somewhere else in London.

But then cities are generally like that - very lonely places swarming with strangers.
Here in Norway newspapers more or less survive, although perhaps not with the younger generations. They are generally the best source if you want to follow up on local events.

In this case, I think this means it's not deterministic within the context of a single thread of execution.
