One of the funniest board meetings I have ever sat in on was in a recruiting company based heavily in diversity and inclusion. The investor (non-Indian) was listening the Founders (Indian) talk about the advancements we made and showed the talent marketplace (scraped people data).
The investor stopped the CEO and was like, "Why are they all Indian?".
Following up-- for anyone that wants to try it, if you use a referral link (plenty on Youtube if you look for lingq reviews) you can get like 120 lingqs upon signing up. That's a much better trial.
Thanks-- I am in a lucky situation where I have no shortage of Korean people to speak with so that's not an issue. I can listen and understand pretty well, but producing Korean feels slow and difficult. It's a plateau I'm trying to overcome and feel like there's no good practice/thing that has helped much.
One recommendation has been to spend more time writing in Korean (like blogging) to better put my thoughts into the language and I guess in theory, means I would become quicker in conversation.
Just tried it out-- it's a neat concept. I wish the "free" version was more giving... I'll have to try more to see if it's something I'd want to pay for. Overall, it seems fairly useful.
I opted for Solr over ES due to the craziness of ES licensing, and other fiascos they have had over the years. Solr seems more "open" and in line with what I believe.
Sure, Solr is rough around the edges but it does virtually the same thing.
