I wonder how many bootcamps that promise to make you a "fullstack developer" in X weeks even cover the basics of security.

with stolen blueprints and unlimited govt resources, easy as pie...

How is the stock still at $34?

>That would address some of the issues and not others, all of which were laid out in my original comment. (Hint: read the words after "Indian".)

I originally literally quoted the entire sentence from your original comment, which came after "Indian". We could do without the snide remarks. I was genuinely trying to get your position, but all you are doing is making snide remarks and attempting to make yourself sound more knowledgeable than you are about the issue.

You originally stated that: This has long been a major issue with Amazon - often the people making the decisions as to whether a business with dozens of employees gets to keep selling or goes bankrupt are being paid less than US minimum wage in another country.

So I'm assuming you're saying that they shouldn't hire in India apparently because of less than minimum wage. So these kinds of things can be avoided if Amazon were to hire decision makers who make minimum wage or whatever the lowest amount they can get away with in US?

As you know, the sellers and buyers are global. So should Amazon divide its operations so that Indian employees only process sales and purchases based in India? What happens with sales from India to USA or vice-versa?

I am failing to grasp what exactly it is that you are saying here. With respect to extradition, India and USA already have a treaty.

So you're saying that it's ok to for Amazon to sell in India but not hire there?

The parent didn't say reciprocation is always the answer. Stop putting words in people's mouth and derailing the conversation. In this case it makes sense to do a tit-for-tat ban to hurt them.

Except that it should frame its policies based on game theory if it ever plans to survive against China. Which is exactly what it's doing. The time to take the high road against bad actors is over.

You seem to be confusing english speaking ability with the ability to communicate and articulate well. Communication is not about being able to speak english perfectly, it's firstly about listening and understanding the context of requirements. It's about being approachable enough so that the clients/stakeholders want to work with you, and clarify things with you, which in turn leads to a product which is close enough to something that they needed.

yeah but they're variations on the same stuff. it just allows gaming of the whole process where if you solve enough of those types of questions, you have a better chance of getting in.

I don't know of any software company that would hire an introverted person who can't articulate themselves for 20k a month. This is how micro-service architected fully optimized solutions that solve the wrong problem happen. Do you really think the high value of a developer just comes from being able to pass coding challenges when there's millions of them out there?

the FAANG interviews are pretty standardized now - but then that only selects candidates who are well prepped for the interview itself.

You and I both agree that it's not a selfless act to have a child. That was my entire point.

I'm sorry if I implied that I don't want to pay. I'm just emphasizing that the people who choose to have kids are not doing it for selfless reasons.

>an essential service that some people perform to ensure that society as we know it can continue to exist

I empathize with parents, but please don't make it sound like it's a selfless act they are doing for the good of society.

Also, childless couples/singles get taxed at quite a high rate (after any returns) vs parents. You compound that over 21 or whatever years it takes for kids to become "productive". Furthermore, people who choose to stay childless still have to work and pay higher taxes till the age of at least 66 in US. Life expectancy for males is 78, so that gives you 12 years. Social security is in no way enough, and you must survive on pension that you paid into for your retirement. So the child that I helped raised with my extra taxes and without any preferential treatment at work will never even come close to paying me back.

Yes, like the freedom to murder someone in broad daylight without the police doing anything for "insulting" Mohammed. No thanks!

Huh? By the same token, India and rest of the world was invaded by Muslims in order to free them of pagan practices and bring them into Islam. This includes Pakistan.

It's one thing to copy. It's another to send your own sous-chefs to work in another chef's kitchen, steal their yet to be released receipes, their research, their actual ingredients even!

Another thing is that Japan is friendly towards us and our values. China seeks to bully and topple every nation that does not bow to it. Not to mention the ongoing genocide and the rise of the superior Han mentality.

There are plenty of countries like India that could do it, but China tops the list not only for stealing from US, but also from every other western country including my own: Canada. See Nortel and how Huawei was created off of stolen tech and research from Nortel and thereby bankrupting Nortel. For the latest trickery, see CanSino covid vaccine.

China and collaboration with China or chinese scientists at this point cannot be trusted at all.

Hi, thanks for this and making it freely available. just wondering why you chose the license to waive all attribution as well?

Yeah but those small communities also had rich and poor. You miss one season of rain, and a significant number are now indebted or lose their livelihood.

Well then the horrible reality of humanity is that we seek to punish people who play a part in these atrocities in order to seek justice, till we can come up with a better alternative. Otherwise, let's not punish some newbie in a gang who was forced to murder as part of his forced initiation even though he didn't want to.

Which part did you find aggressive? Prosecuting those responsible for aiding in the genocide of a people?

I'm not american.

Sure, so let them just continue to commit atrocities.

if we're not allowed to be emotional about genocide, then I'm not sure we are allowed to be human at all.

yeah i commented about documenting the prc supporters enabling this to happen and I got downvoted and flagged!

it doesn't matter. chinese citizen opinion doesn't matter to the chinese govt. Western companies lose by trying to play fair against the chinese companies. This is all in accordance with game theory. By trying to be nice, we will be wiped out. The only choice we have now is to fight dirty like them.

No, it shows that the US will no longer tolerate state subsidized corporations from supplanting other corporations trying to play by the rules.

Most likely the price of milk/eggs/notebook would go up if like you say vast majority of those people could start to afford it.

Same here. I started going through the excellent guide a few weeks ago.
