It is interesting that a similar thing happened when millions of manufacturing jobs were offshored to China and other low-cost sites. Now it has come to the tech industry, and every other industry where it is possible. It hurts when it come

I don't think you are missing anything here. Both work in different ways (I have worked with companies as large as 250k+ employees to 2 employees). Both try to achieve different things (make something from zero, and create drastic valu

I tried that, but I try to search in wide world, sometimes about topics that I don't even understand. So I don't know where to look. And many of my searches are like that (examples: how merchant fees work, how QC affects stock pri

I have also worked with many companies that are pretty huge, cash positive, exploding growth, and with very complex software as their product. They made a rule of not hiring using DS&A after accidentaly coming across a tier-3 college st

Not just any videos. Now I even speed up movies on netflix. That's why I have to watch them on laptop now, as I can't speed them up on TV.

I agree to that, not just it kills local job market, it is exploiting foreign workers. I read Theranos' account, and I imagined many Indian workers kept working because they had no choice to say No. The moment they say no, they will lo

That's true for FAANG companies as well. They have slowed down hiring in US since it has become really hard to bring that talent in the country. Instead they are slowly moving their work to other countries and doubling down on hiring

In india, a pin is mandatory for all the purchases even when there were no chip cards. Uber had some trouble because it could not charge credit cards like they do in US, as our cards needed two factor auth.

Is it too late to ask that how such art is valued? Of course I read about the theory that it depends on art dealers and a lot of things, less to do with quality of art. As quality of art is subjective after a certain point. Just thought som
