To be fair, you can get success more easily in US if you have connections which is the same as China. Maybe Bill Gate and his mother's background is a similar example to what you referred about DiDi.
> Don't bring gender into this.

Gender was already in this.

The article starts with "In a groundbreaking effort to close the wage gap between men and women..." I do see what you were getting at but my guess (based on karma and skimming previous comments) is that the gender comment was sarcastic. I could be wrong though.

>Being used as scapegoats

That's what it looks like for me with the Australian housing market where the Chinese are being blamed for increasing prices. China is the biggest foreign investor in the Australian housing market followed by the US with $12 billion out of $34 billion foreign investment in 2013-14 [1], but it can't be the only explanation.

As a non-permanent resident you can only buy from the plan, no 'used' houses at all: 'If the FIRB feels that the residential real estate in question is only being purchased by a foreign citizen or company just for the purpose of renting it out, or because the purchaser wants to speculate on the property’s future value, permission to purchase will be refused.' [2]

The reasons for the extreme prices are more complex and subsequent Australian governments refuse to change this: banks have been giving out record-low mortgages leading to massive debt and rising houseprices [3], and there's negative gearing, which allows people to overinvest because they can claim later and causes people to hold onto their property, thereby inflating prices [4]. Changing this broken system is detrimental to the parties parties as it would directly cut into income for the rich and the old, and so many blue-collar jobs in Australia depend on building houses. It will only change after the whole bubble implodes.

My favourite thing about it is that there was no header email (usually [PATCH 0/n] is just text with an overview of the following patches. Then any top-level discussion (I.e. "NAK: octal is more readable") takes place in replies to that email.

Instead here there are 1285 separate threads of discussion with dozens of people all saying the same thing with no easy way to discover it's already been said (and at least one maintainer has replied to every single one he's CC'd on). Beautiful carnage.
There are also places that hamstring their above average developers with processes and/or interruptions that tend to bring down a lot of potential productivity (and morale).
I think is a great step. I work for a big company and has been around for 4 years. when I joined this company, my salary was on par (also justified as per my previous salary). We saw a tremendous amount of growth in the technology and the team has grown by 20X. The people joining now are getting far better salary because either their current salary is high and they negotiate on that OR the company is ready to pay more for filling up the positions. But I feel very bad when I think of it, the employees who laid the foundations got very small hike over the years and I feel underpaid now. Also, I was the member who laid the foundation of the team and created the initial reputation which was required.

Salary negotiations based on previous salaries are just plain idiocracy. I have co-workers who are excellent in terms of the skillset and the value they create but they come from either smaller cities where the pay was not great or from startups which didn't pay very well in the early days. These people suffer a lot even though they know that their counterparts who come from large companies and had good salaries get paid almost 1.5-2X.
When you see their Google IO presentations or interviews, they re-iterate that Java is the only true way on Android, with the NDK just for games and implementation of Java native methods.

Then the usual answer to standard Java support is "What features matter to you? Get in touch with us".

Is it so hard to see that who usually asks that question cares about 100% of the language or at very least the compatibility profiles?

I had been using Kagi for over a decade. Failures happen but what is annoying is that there was no warning - just an email. I've lost $3000+ but what is vexing is that they took orders on Friday the 29th July when they must have known that they were going bust - is this not fraud?

The Great Digital-Currency Debate: ‘New’ Ethereum vs. Ethereum ‘Classic’
I meant that greater intelligence and drive mean higher likelihood to invent or incorporate technology, higher likelihood to succeed driving its adoption as a business, etc.

To try to make this more concrete and tractable. Imagine this oversimplified scenario:

Country A's population is 100 people and their "culture" values education, intelligence and hard work. Country A's average IQ is 107 and the two most desired professions in the country are to be an engineer or a businessperson.

Country B's population is 100 people and their culture looks down on "nerds" and favors "coolness" and hanging out. Country B's average IQ is 100 and the top desired professions in the country are being a sports star or a rock star.

Obviously I'm drawing at extremes here, but you see where I'm going... which country produces more citizens that contribute to technology? Country A is probably gonna produce more cool tech over time than country B, even with equal-sized populations, due to a combination of cultural values / social incentives and population intelligence.
It'd be nice to know their motivation. Another person commented on the obvious possibilities: company went bust, they're too cheap to mail it, etc.

But thinking out of the box for a moment, are any of these scenarios possible?

- Your prototypes were lost, stolen, or broken and they don't want to admit it?

- It was taken by someone else (not stolen) and they can't get it back? For example, taken by a bank, investor, landlord, or government as collateral until a loan, investment, rent, or taxes are paid?

- Does your prototype involve something like crypto (in certain countries) or weapons systems such that a government agency could have classified it or seized it?

- Are they trying to exert leverage against you to do or not do something, but can't come right out and say it? That is, they want you to say it first?

Everyone has their tradeoffs and priorities. Decades ago, it was common for new finance grads to get a tiny, poorly lit, crappy apartment in Manhattan because they couldn't imagine living in Queens much less New Jersey--or even somewhere other than the New York area entirely.

Today that's probably still true but add the walkable core areas of a variety of other US mostly coastal cities. The Bay area is something of an exception but housing prices go down a lot as you get an hour away from most of those cities (which isn't exactly the middle of nowhere).
Actually a lot. We have complete new interfaces with a real abstraction layer and not only bundled APIs in a single SDK. Moreover we now support Android, iOS, Java and Node.js
Well, the problem lies more with the de-anonymization of ~15 million users in Iran, though, which Telegram didn't deny.
QR codes is interesting. The tech companies here considered QR codes low tech and backwards, ironically, and basically didn't invest in it in the hopes of going with BLE (bluetooth low energy) beacons and at a time NFC.

NFC was considered inferior to BLE too but BLE has come and literally no one uses them.

The reason why QR isn't adopted is because none of the major platforms has invested in it. Apple, facebook, don't have native QR support.

In China QR is built into wechat, which everyone has.
The same is true in London, mainly with investors from Russia, China and the Middle East. Compared to their countries, they see these as a 'safe haven' for their money.

Other comments rightly point out that grammar capabilities are not always good indicators of ability in other areas. But you'd be amazed how many job applications we see (from both designers and developers) with very basic grammar errors.

Even if the role doesn't demand skills in English you should at least care about creating a good impression enough to make sure you've ironed out grammar errors in your application.

I'm from Canada (Whistler, north of Vancouver) and now live in Sydney, Australia.

Australia is nowhere near as bad as Canada. I'm amazed this article glanced over the issues Vancouver is really struggling with.

I'll post another comment re:these serious issues canada faces.
The current slow process ensures that corporations get reliable workers who can't quit.

The intent maybe so, but the practice is exactly opposite. Not only patents are being used to effectively block progress in certain areas for years (because many researchers can't or won't pay license costs and us such unable to incrementally build on existing knowledge), but reading a patent if you work in similar area is the worst thing you can do - after you red it, all you work will be contaminated by suspicion that you have used patented IP without licensing. So if you suspect there's a patent in some area you work in, the best thing to either pay somebody to search for patents but never read them by yourself, or to ignore the patents and assume the risk. Otherwise you are exposing yourself to claims even if your work is 100% original - you'd have to prove it's original and familiarity with the patent would work against you. So it gives huge incentive to impede flow of information.

Additionally, if you read any of the software patents, they are written in intentionally obscure, outrageously dense and purposely obfuscated language, as to sound more generic and vague and capture more "space". They have tons of claims which repeat the same thing with tiny variations, they describe most mundane things as if it were huge novelty, and they are made as hard to read to a common person as possible without switching to Sanskrit. They never increase sharing of any information and never are written with this goal in mind.
Brilliant! I hope that more schools will follow/join.
You don't start a company because you might get sued for infringing on something with an idea you don't even have yet? Okay...
Similar is going to be the story of Mr. Chan's patent which is also known as the first patent of Hoverboards. Mr. Chan has sued more than 30 companies for infringing his patent. But an analysis [1] says that his patent holds no water and is not novel. The day his patent will get challenged in a court and get invalidated, a similar article with a different headline will appear on Arstechnica.

I don't think China's mobile tech is leading the world rather than Silicon Valley. Most cutting edge of mobile tech is still sourced from US or EU.

There are some simple fixes to people's issues.
1) Charge more for everything
2) If you cannot get a good deal, then leave.
3) Stop playing games where you sacrifice yourself trying to compete against people who sacrifice very little but have much. These billionaires are flippant about these things because it cost them nothing (personally) to get the wealth. When you make $64M a year, a $4M condo is nothing. But when a paralegal and a plumber scrimp and save to try and compete, it will cost them everything. Better to just move to another city and not play the game. Or charge the billionaire $400 an hour for plumbing.

It is sustainable, they just need to boost their numbers and market penetration like every other venture that regularly gets discussed on HN whether it be a music streaming service or ride sharing app etc:

"Recent reports estimate that those numbers have risen to over 65,000 residential customers and about 5,500 commercial customers so far in 2015.48 This represents about a 45 percent share of the local residential market for broadband, video, and telephone service. 49 Despite being available to all potential customers, only about eight percent – or fewer than 5,500 – of residential customers that purchase Internet access
subscribe to its signature gigabit service.5"

This venture is only 5 years old(2011) and the bond has a maturity length of 25 years! Lastly only 162 million out of the bond issue was used to build out the fiber network, the rest was used to build a smart grid.
Ok so you don't have a point or anything you wish to discuss. You're just angry at the way the world works?
This is clearly a technology-driven project. Which is fine, maybe business/use cases will emerge.
German companies are generally very cautious, if not just scared of any type of external hosting. I'm not sure in what way is that connected to legislation, but the way the EDV-departments (Elektronischdatenverarbeitung - electronic data processing) work in companies here is mind boggling. It's like the progress was happening here not thanks to IT, but despite its overreaching presence.

> the belief that racial and gender issues are unimportant or nonexistent

That is absolutely not what I wrote, nor what I belief. You are shoehorning me into a position, and I resent that.

I do belief that racial and gender issues are not relevant when discussing the pros and cons of cryptocurrency or the benefits of two-factor authentication. That to me goes beyond a shared value, it ought to be common sense.

HN communicates via text — no avatars, no non-sense. All that matters is whether or not you can formulate a post in English that adds to the topic. Aside from English proficiency, that is about as inclusive as you can get. There could be a dog behind the keyboard on the other side for all I care — as long as he/she is civil and provides some interesting insight into the topic at hand.

Having an interest in software and its related topics is not the exclusive domain of the 'privileged white male', regardless of the demographic slant towards men in the software industry (of any colour really, depends a lot on the country posters hail from and the local demographic make up of the population).
In case someone is interested, there is a list of related books on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3277457

CSV for shoving files around (or TSV or whatever similar thing) is great because it generally just works. I can throw it into virtually any language or system, open and read it myself, grep it, check it with any platform. I can often get away with just looking at the files and absolutely nothing else, though a data dictionary is hugely appreciated.

I don't need to make sure I've got postgres 9.5 setup with a particular user account & set configs for the password, start ES (but not version Y because of a feature change) on port Z, etc. I don't need to manage making sure the two branches I'm looking at don't overlap or try to write to the same database. Keeping multiple results and comparing their output can be easily done as they're just files to be moved. Small tasks that read a file and spit out another can be checkpointed just by making them look to see if the file they expect to create already exists.

I'm hugely in favour of CSV for external data too. Sure, provide other options as well, but I love that the "get all the data" command can be as simple as a curl command. I don't want to read your API docs and build something custom that tries to grab everything, I don't want to iterate over 2M pages, I don't want to deal with timeouts, rate limits, etc. Just give me a URL with a compressed CSV file.

All the problems that come along with it, for me, are related to poor data management which I doubt a format change would fix.

Maybe CSV isn't the best internally, but for a vast amount of cases it's nearly the best and gives you a lot of flexibility. My general advice would be to start with CSV unless you've got a good reason not to, and then try and move to a different line based thing (jsonl, messagepack?). It is highly unlikely to be the biggest problem you have with your data, and the time spent putting it into a more "sane" format is often (in my experience) better spent on QA and analysis of the data itself.

I'd say the current problem is that lots of data is available only either in excel files, pdfs, and APIs pointing to a possibly constantly changing data store.
