I'm surprised there is so little interest in this story on HN. There are three different submissions for this which reached the front page, but then rapidly dropped to below page 3.

In the doom an gloom of the article, there was a glimmer of hope however. >But tech hiring over the fourth quarter led to a small net growth in IT jobs for 2023. There were 21,300 IT jobs added in the quarter, a positive signal for incre

Completely unbiased news if, of course an impossibility. The article is however pointing out that due to the deliberate actions of the Indian govt, opposing viewpoints are increasingly found only on platforms that are outside the Indian gov

The whole situation is a bit mystifying TBH. The 'standard' answer to a labor shortage in our (capitalist) economy is to offer higher wages which would incentivize workers to move into those jobs. On the other hand, workers having

There's no contact information in your profile, so can't pm you. What kind of programming work are you looking for ?

Exactly my thoughts. The near silence in the MSM and tech press is most... curious.

What's even worse is that the whole issue of the wage suppression saga has been conveniently forgotten by the tech elites and media. The case is still ongoing after the judge threw out the settlement Google et all offered, but the last

Agreed, there does seem to be a pretty asymmetric view of the effects of free trade by the VC crowd and the media. Case in point, there has been an almost complete radio silence in the tech and mainstream media about the wage suppression re

This. I was at Yahoo briefly (8 months, never again !) and middle management at Yahoo was absolutely the problem. A single SVP had 20 VPs and around a 100 Directors and Senior directors most of whom were lifers and 'career bureaucrats&

Regarding Yahoo, post Marissa, these positions still absolutely exist and are mostly in middle management. Most of 'deadwood' elimination has been amongst engineers because guess what, the career bureaucrats are exactly the ones w

I read it as Microsoft paid a million dollars and will pay 5% of what Google pays. I dislike Microsoft as much as the next guy, but it seems like they believed the patent would win in court and wanted the cheapest way out.

Google is already appealing, but what happens if Google loses ? Would the supreme court agree to hear this case ? If so, the silver lining might be that the supreme court overturns this decision and in doing to comes up with something usefu

Much as I would love to see Google prevail in this, there is just no chance that would happen. The implications to any other form of Govt gag orders (think sealed court records) would be immense.
