What is this immigration propaganda on here? There is no place for this on hn

This is so true. The difference between an ml expert and a novice is often less than a few percent on accuracy.

Money solves almost all of them. It's Marxist propaganda trying to convince you otherwise.

This is non sense, the life for the rich is far better than for the poor. If you don't believe that is true, then you haven't been exposed to it enough. Having high status in any society can have massive advantages. More leisure time, better mates, ability to purchase expensive health care and therapy, organic food, the freedom to go anywhere in the world, the list goes on and on

This misses the whole point of the article, and injects a political agenda into a conversation about how wealth in the west isn't helping happiness.

How do you know? Have you ever worked in online advertising? Most companies easily spend 100k a month. Are you aware you are being manipulated by the media on this story?

Do you really believe this? You really think 100k stands up to 1Billion?

This is great

The point is, when you have everyone take that test, you end up hiring only Kenyans. And then everyone cries about discrimination

I don't mean to start a flame war here, but when you say:

People don’t complain when you say: “A lot of the fastest marathon runners are from Kenia”. People will complain if you use that fact to justify an imbalance in your workforce: “Well, it’s obvious that we hire only people from Kenia since marathons show they are much faster!”

This is precisely the point. If objectively they are better, why is it discrimination to only hire them? Definitely you give everyone the opportunity to work for you, but if a singular group always performs better, is it really your fault? And if society did determine that it was your fault, how long could that go on for? Forever? How long can that charade last? Hasn't a Darwinian economy (capitalism) done the best ever for man kind (massively raised standards of living over the last 200 years).

But you aren't aloud to talk about that openly.

What does this say about racism? Segregation?

The cost is the impermanence of knowledge capital

Two cans of tuna a day is dangerous, did you google it?

Best way to know current market is to ask a recruiter who will be honest with you

Yeah if you think about all the unstructured phone conversations tagged with people who are terrorists, and then jammed into a neural net, things get powerful. But taking that a step further, you can identify political dissent, etc

Glassdoor isn't really that accurate. It doesn't reflect current market rates, it shows rates for the duration of the time the website has been around. Also, there is massive selection bias about who puts their salary up there

Why is this propaganda on HN?

But those experiences are just self induced near death experiences. It's an illusion of meaning

Any big tech company

Companies do. They're called quant hedge funds and Facebook/google. If you're really 10x, someone will pay

Right but this is zero upfront cost. Kudos to you guys if it works out

Services like this will flood the job market. I wish I could get out of engineering

Programming is a bimodal distribution. A good chunk of people make 250k+ and the rest mostly make 120k or less

Technology is the defining change of our life times.

I don't have the energy to argue this

True. But the body shops are a huge percentage of all H1Bs

Over 60% easily

This isn't true. It's a race to the bottom for cheap talent. There is definitely a race for top talent, but that comprises a small portion of all immigrants. It's all about cheap labor.

It was a google in house recruiter. The firm I had an offer from was known to hire highly vetted people
