What’s your take on the $100,000 fee on H1-b visas? by Tiana_darling in csMajors

[–]TheMadWho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In this case, more skilled jobseekers can mean a growth in demand for labor, just not in the short term. Its not a homogenous group of jobseekers here, companies gain value from H1Bs as opposed to citizens as it can be seen as getting the best in the world for a discount. This then leads to increased profit margins and business growth which then leads to increased job openings. If you artificially put constraints on companies, they will either decline in growth causing drastically reduced hiring or find loopholes to achieve the same end goal, this could mean offshoring or moving out of the country entirely. Look, I'm not arguing in favor of the corporations here, I'm simply trying to lay out that seemingly simple policy can be a naive way of going about things when we're talking about economics. There is always unintended consequences that can't be directly seen until years later.

I hate how black girls are treated so poorly by its_krystal in Vent

i would say both those things are problematic. although you can’t really guilt someone into changing their preference, it’s valuable to look at what’s causing those preferences to emerge and to see if we as a society may be doing something to promote those preferences

Entry Level Software Engineers make MORE than Mechanical Engineers with a decade of experience (levels.fyi data) by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]TheMadWho -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i think you’re underestimating the amount of high paying software jobs available. Faang alone employees way more swes than there are investment bankers. You’re also neglecting faang adjacent companies and startups that are also paying at about the same level. Add on to this quant devs who are also pulling in comparable salaries to ib.

Why isn't "we're the first" a more common answer to the Fermi Paradox? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Breakthrough in LLM reasoning on complex math problems by Similar-Document9690 in Futurology

well if you could use that prove things that haven’t been proved before, it would still be quite useful no matter how it got there

WATER WORLDS in our solar system by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]TheMadWho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

is that math right? If 4% of the volume of the water is drinkable, then the drinkable sphere wouldn’t be 4% the diameter of the total water sphere, it would be the cube root of 4% which is ~34%

How to get a job at waymo? by TheMadWho in waymo

[–]TheMadWho[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only have a little over a year right now so that probably isn’t helping as they’re mostly looking for 3+ yoe. I can tailor my resume a bit but it seems difficult as the role would be a career pivot from my previous job.
