If Tesla built a factory in a mainly minority neighborhood, would you find it appropriate to wonder out loud whether employees would steal the parts? If not, why do you believe your comment and the insinuation are appropriate?
You may not have realized it, but the level of subtle racism is ridiculous.
Perhaps you can offer a rebuttal to my arguments instead of doing an implicit name-calling?
Immigrants do work harder and offer cheaper labor, not unlike the example of younger developers vs older developers. Companies can feel free to make the trade off
Sorry, I don't buy this whole "older workers more likely to see through bullshit" narrative that many presumably older folks on HN push.
It sounds awfully like the arguments that traditionally nationalist groups use against immigrants, contending they're less intelligent and accept lower wages because they're culturally inferior and just don't know better
Maybe it's just that younger workers legitimately provide better labor for lower cost. For a small startup, you really don't need someone with 30 years of experience, and it's better to spend your money on someone demanding a lower wage and will work fast.
Did anyone even read the article. The study has nothing to do with complex behavior or "sophisticated" behavior. It's a study on your ability to generate random list of results, like "listing the hypothetical results of a series of 12 coin flips so that they would 'look random to somebody else'"
Except that's wrong. As much as you may dislike the tech industry, you can't contradict the data that shows there are more job openings than developers in the Bay Area
It's not designed to "beat" you. Casinos are entertainment venues, not banks. One of the main selling points of casinos is the thrill you get from potentially winning a lot of money. You pay for the fun in form of the slight loss of edge in the long run odds.
No one goes in a movie theater and complain that it's "beating" you because you come out with a net negative balance
Airline is a classic case of an industry that has too much competition. All these airlines cause inefficient routing, and they're continuously forced to cut prices to compete. This results in bad margins and bad service. Literally no body wins.
Uber / Lyft could be profitable as duopolies though. As in the case of Pepsi and Coke, both can happily carve out their niche and don't rock the boat too much.
For all newspaper subscriptions (and all other semi-shady companies), I use Privacy.com. It allows you to create silo-ed credit card numbers and specify how much each card is allowed to charge you per week/month/overall.
When I want to cancel a newspaper subscription and it's impossibly difficult, I just email them telling them I'd like to cancel the subscription delete the associated credit card. Not my problem anymore
You may not have realized it, but the level of subtle racism is ridiculous.
cc @dang, I've no idea how this works
