We have been working on https://talentpulsar.ai for exactly this. Hope to find some good collaborations with the hn community with some little self promotion, hope this is okay.
actually we don't want that- a high equilibrium could still contain a world with a very large imbalance- on one side people dying of thirst, hunger and on another side people have it so good that they waste a ton of food, water everyday. we should aim for a more balanced world even if we have to sacrifice the amplitude of a few but we are only going further from it.
We had considered Oban when deciding whether to go with Kafka/Debezium or not. We sided with Kafka because it can do high throughput ingestion and it is easier to maintain it with cursor in today's world. Postgres is not meant for heavy writes, but heavy querying. You could fix that with lot of care but then it does not scale multi-master very well either. Kafka scales much better for heavy writes.
I don't think cline ever had to do much context management, which is why i prefer them over cursor. Cline is similar to claude code, but without the vendor lock in.
This is not an easy inference. For this inference to be true , you have to know how much of the expense goes to salaries . Also, you have to give credit to tsmc to be world class which enables them to control prices, it may not translate across industries
Its a pretty easy inference for anyone who has mfg experience. The amount you pay per worker versus the quality of work you get back is STARKLY different between US and Taiwanese companies.
As in better or worse? The Taiwanese have been making most of our chips for quite a while. Americans are not naturally more gifted individuals, most manufacturing skills are transmitted from one worker to the next.
Thanks! The main reason is that we don’t know what important details are left out when the article is summarized, then if people make comments in response to the summary instead of reading the whole article, the discussion thread is somewhat poisoned.
Conclusion
The data points cited in the article are mostly accurate, based on available government reports (e.g., USCIS, ICE, NACE). However, the interpretations and causal claims are ideologically framed and often lack nuance:
Sound in identifying employment and wage challenges for new CS graduates.
Oversimplified in attributing these challenges mainly or solely to foreign workers.
Questionable in presenting policy recommendations as the only “truth-based” solution.
If you're looking for a deeper, balanced understanding, consider consulting:
National Science Board’s Science & Engineering Indicators
Brookings Institution or Cato Institute reports (for contrasting views)
NACE and NCES for graduate outcomes and education data
Just so others don’t have to do it. I did not think this post was hn worthy so wanted to save some time for others. Maybe hn needs to do it automatically
IF you go to an interview, and nothing was divulged to you, this NDA does not mean anything. But if youwork at a competitor, and you get an interviewer tell you things that the company does not want to divulge, company has some protection. Not all laws and processes are bad.
