Comment Re:I'm not sure how much this will hurt us. (Score 1) 157

This leads to a situation where, as my manager at HP said, "It costs half as much per labor hour but it takes twice as long and twice the leadership."

Five times, easily. And the opportunity cost for doing it the wrong way, in that you missed schedule and now have to undo the problems and do it again the right way. Don't forget the inherent racist environment of the "India protection plan", where the Indian managers continue to hire completely, completely incompetent and unqualified Indian developers.

The problem is that a lot of non-US educated H1Bs are indentured servants, and they do not have a path to a green card, from India at least. Also, any decent Indian tech professional will work in UAE for 80 euros/hr instead of poverty wages in the US, so all of the good engineers are there, or came here 8 or so years ago before the green cards ran out. Most body-shop H1Bs are not US educated and have credentials from Star Trek.

Comment WhatsApp had negative value, yet FB bought it (Score 3, Interesting) 66

A service that allows free encrypted phone and video calls and uses the contact list and phone numbers in order to make the calls? With no revenue generation? The only reason Facebook bought the company in the first place was because the users allowed access to their contacts. Other than that, the company had negative value.
