Not a very informative article. The costs are high, so try to minimize turnover. It's simple.

> Just no, a $130k salary in the US would be at least 70k€ in Paris. In others city it would probably be less but the cost of living would be much less too. In regard to this, I think what needs to be mentioned is the number of $130,000&

I feel like it's more about the economy than immigrants. Ask somebody in Parkersburg, WV if they are angry at the Lebanese family that built a restaurant, or if they are angry about that economy in general

Why are people scared of immigration this time around and not previously? Did previous immigrants assimilate? Were they similar, culturally?

Why were they deported? Is that the same situation as now? Will Germany deport these new refugees back as well? Or are they hear to stay?

Then why is Europe experiencing such a huge problem now and not then? That's an oversimplified chart that doesn't mean anything for this discussion.

Controlling for immigrants, hmm. Doesn't sound like a popular idea in europe or in the US in democratic circles.

by muninn_ 10y ago
Where did those immigrants come from? What is their socio-economic background? Are they refugees, or perhaps tech workers? What about those coming to Europe?

You can't have short-term, mass migration without having something happen or change. We will see a huge change in European political landscape within the next few years. People have to slowly assimilate into a culture in order to allow

No not necessarily. I threw those schools out as examples, but we'd have to actually go and analyze pretty much every computer science graduate at every school over the last 30 years, plus self-taught, and look at how they perform agai

Well you should apply the same criteria to yourself then and stop discussing the technology industry. If you're going to say that I have to be as knowledgable about every other city, country, municipality, or whatever, then you have to

No this is nonsense. All you have to do is look at the ratios of men and women pursuing programs like computer science at CMU or MIT or whatever. You have perhaps an equal number of potentially qualified men and women, but the number of men

by muninn_ 10y ago
You're just cherry picking what you want to pretend to be knowledgable about. You don't have to be a hair dresser to discuss trends in that industry. Just like I don't need to work for the Department of Labor to discuss labor

Then women should apply for jobs they aren't qualified for as well. Problem solved. You'd be an idiot not to do that. There are a bunch of white/Asian males who suck at their jobs (there are a lot of people who suck at their

This is nonsense. These things don't exist in a vacuum.

You're misunderstanding the point here. It's not that women can't be or aren't as capable as men. In terms of intellectual performance, although I'd say women on average are more intelligent than men, and men vary m

I find this kind of strange. I've never thought about what percentage of asians or blacks work at a company, or what percentage are men or women before considering a job opportunity. It just has never mattered to me. 100% men, 100% wom

Women are incredibly valuable, but there isn't anything inherently "good" about having an exactly even split M-F ratio. Is a company with 70% women and 30% men better than a 50%-50% split? What about the other way around? Wha

And that should be cash compensation. No stocks. No options. They can give stocks and options if they want to pay more, but I don't want to see companies saying the need somebody and then giving them $100k in stock options or something

Like cities and human development, there should be different areas for different types of work and different people. Maybe you're a programmer and you want 100% silence, that should be available. Maybe you're like me, who gets a l

Thanks. I even posted on some of these as I was caught up in the discussion, but the discussion is over. There's nothing new to be added right now, and certainly nothing new to be added by some random person's irrelevant opinion.

Sure, and that was a great discussion we had like 2 months ago, but every day we get posts about how some no-name person returned their computer because they didn't like it, or some person finds the touch bar is great for them. This is

Nothing, you need one of the large manufacturers to slowly divorce itself from Windows and offer well-designed, well-suported linux machines.

I agree, but I think that big shift doesn't happen without big support from somebody.

Even that little bit of having to research is enough to deter mainstream users, and so we're back to OS X or Windows. A Linux distribution or two has to get to the point where it's stable, doesn't have some sort of possible c

I think what it boils down to is that it's just a low priority for them to fix, versus working on their products. They probably have a fix in the works as part of some new redesign and have judged the current annoyance to not cost enou
