Re:Ask HN: What caused the Olympics to become so terrible? on Sunday February 06, 2022 @02:00PM (#30235724)
The olympics are playing the same game they always have, while the world has moved on.

Football is thriving because of fantasy and betting. The NBA has clips, NFTs, and creators producing endless content.

What do the Olympics have? Sure they have human stories, but you need to watch a major network to consume them. The games need to figure out how to fit in today's consumption model.

That's their annual tech spend. Most of that goes to keeping the lights on. Not a lot of innovation.

Geothermically heated water often contains lithium. This could contribute to the good vibes coming from the water.
H1's working for lower pay seems like a fallacy. Part of the visa process involves paying prevailing wages.

Re:Ask HN: Salary for Non-Technical Employee #1? on Friday May 07, 2010 @04:22PM (#1328625)
I believe the glut you might be referring to would be the high proportion of people that fancy themselves internet savants because they use twitter and facebook. Finding someone who knows how to leverage modern platforms and get quantifiable results will probably be harder then you imagine.

As for pay, I'm sure anyone who has proven themselves capable will demand a salary that is representative of their value.
