Comment You DO get what you pay for (Score 2) 41

Its the same as in China, you get what you pay for. A lot of companies such as IBM, AMD, GE, Walmart, have hugely successful outsourced ops. But they hire their own people, set up their own offices, provide a better QoL & salaries to attract & retain talent.

Outsourcing to a third party will always lead to problems as they too want to make as much profit as possible.

Comment Re:Gaslighting writ large (Score 0) 90

The issue with declining population is that there aren't enough people working to pay for the retired and elderly in need of care.

You do realize that humans survived for millions of years without an income source right? The problem is our economic system. We just need a better system for division of labor

Comment Human life is worth almost nothing (Score 1) 90

When human life is worth so little that we let people rot away on the street, what is the point of producing more people?

Automation, robotics, computers have reached the level, where a lot of manual labor, can be automated away. A declining population will only lead to a better quality of life for everyone.

Bro, look we'll take your legacy system and greenfield the fuck outta it. It'll be like DNS but 2.0 bro. 2.0!! Like just trust me bro, we'll kill it. It'll be so good that the whole world will collectively go like "why didn't we think of this before"

That's what I imagine most of those meetings are like and why people keep re-inventing the wheel.

Comment We need a better Unicode (Score 0) 95

At this point I feel the evidence is overwhelming and we need a better way. Either we get rid of this Unicode mess and go back to a simplified ASCII, or we find some new way to organize characters, into broad categories such as, Alphabets, Numerals, Special Chars and Control Chars. And by default all the categories except the Control Chars should automatically be escaped or do nothing, so we can all put this mess behind us
