Also, I wouldn’t necessarily agree that AP exams are more difficult than the SAT subject tests. School curriculum is not uniform. In fact, in my high school the material for certain SAT subjects tests was _only_ taught in AP classes.

I actually feel silly now for having done that.
Edit: I meant I took the SAT subject tests along with their AP equivalents.
I also assumed that the recent outage was due to not accounting for yesterday’s circuit breaker. I imagined there’s a Robinhood product manager with a JIRA ticket who’s complaining about their feature getting depriortized every month.
OP: Paywall Link You: Here’s the non-paywall link.
Not that hard. And if you think about it, OP typed the answer “Ruby on Rails”. Would you have downvoted if he didn’t provide a source?
You know of Watson and Crick, but not Rosalind Franklin. By you, I mean the general you.
Also, the U.S. has banned flights to/from certain countries during certain times.
There’s more involved to starting a company than money. Such as your network. Your support system. Even your race and geographic location could play a factor. Luck, etc.

It’s easier to say “Go do what JK Rowling did” than to say “Go do what Elon did” lmao. I can write a fantasy series with $0. The same can’t be said necessarily for building companies.
But thanks for furthering my point along.
So you also think the original comment was “helplessly racist” lol?
Which is semantics. You’re using a different meaning of the word to fit your point just like the person did in the grandfather comment. You even put the word normal in quotes yourself indicating that you understand how words can be interpreted differently. I wasn’t disagreeing with your interpretation of the term.
The non-controversial terms that people use related to issues like autism are “neurotypical” and “neurodivergent”.
“Queer fans have reacted with concern and anger to an identity they consider defining being used as a mere marketing ploy, a plaything for creatives, a mark of "edginess", or a commodity.”
You’re right in that the primary focus of the article was not the outsourced devs being Indian. The issue comes from how people respond to such articles, no matter the article’s intention.
I’m not saying that outsourced devs shouldn’t be held accountable for any faults. The point is that there are different degrees of accountability for all parties involved.
The article only chose to focus on one of these groups, which is fine. What’s not fine is HN comments that seem to not realize this.
No matter the salary or experience or contract, outsourced devs/companies shouldn’t be in a position of power to break critical systems on an airplane. (I’m not saying this is what happened with the Max.)
It seems like you’re saying that outsourced devs should have as much accountability as home-based devs or the entity Boeing itself. I don’t agree with this. The salary does not reflect that. The work that’s assigned does not reflect that. Anecdotally working with outsourced devs and based from the comments here, no one honestly thinks that.
It seems like you were triggered by the “excuses” part of the post. But what about the rest of it? He made a valid point (which I think you proved) about people using the article to discriminate.
I guess I’m just wondering why you’re making generalizations. I’ve worked with many devs (who weren’t outsourced) who blame everyone else but themselves. I learned to use ‘git blame’ very early on.
Is your issue just with the amount ($9) being paid?
