As well as that notorious bias, they have an axe to grind with Silicon Valley in general. Still it plays to their masses, just have a look at the comments.

No it was your typical farm food (cattle, grain etc.). Most of these shipments were under armed guard by British soldiers. There was no shortage of food. Whilst the famine itself was devastating, the results were politically motivated and driven.

Ehh not some much. The attempted crushing of the Civil Rights movement by the then sectarian government of Northern Ireland and the subsequent esclation on all sides is much more "responsible" for the decades of troubles there than lingering memories of 800 years.

I'm not so sure if relating this news to the H1B visa makes sense. From the linked article, I don't think many of these are software dev roles.

Additionally I'm not even sure if there is much dev work going on in their Cork plant? Would love to hear from someone in the know :)

As a fellow Irishman, he's referring to the misspelling at the top of this submission :)
