You misread: given common knowledge that Alice and Bob are equally promising, all info considered, do you make them different offers?
I'm not at all asking whether Alice with a degree gets better offers than Alice without a degree. We both say she does. At the time we're checking in, Alice's degree is a sunk cost. Your proposal is not: it's extra company investment in the non-degreed after hiring.
> can't even find the politics
Are you sure you want to emphasize anyone's reading ability in this conversation?
And accusing someone of political axe-grinding is a funny way to discourage replies about politics. You could've said, for instance, "Leaving aside any politics here..." That would help engender healthier discourse here on HN.
- wpietri 5y agoI didn't misread. I chose not to play your contrived game. I also didn't hire you as my editor, so perhaps you can just apply your advice on comity to your own work and leave me be.
- abecedarius 5y agoSo contriving a simplest concrete example, after the abstract explanation apparently failed to get through, is a "contrived game". Comity is not the same as healthy discourse. Objecting to a cheap shot is not hiring myself as your editor. I do agree on ending the thread here.
