Plus it irritates the skin less cause you only really need 1-2 passes (shaving with those multi blade razors takes ages and 3-5 passes in my experience if the hair is anything beyond 1 mm long). Remember to rinse the blade every 1-2 passes too.

All sucks sites are legitimate military targets by definition - regardless of whether they have anything to do with conventional weapons. MAD is not about ethnics. MAD is about MAD. No one will give a damn whether there were also some pee shooters in the missle silo the destruction of which caused Armageddon. You don't need sympathy. This brings you one step closer to disaster too.

Maybe I'm being overly generous here, to me the user just sounded frustrated with the boundaries of civil discourse masking but not solving a problem. I assumed the problem was self-evident/they weren't denying it.

To me that feels like a call for more action, not less. It's all too easy to pretend something isn't happening when the verbiage around it becomes more palatable (exactly what dog whistles are for).

But again, maybe I'm being too generous.

You my friend have a desecration kink, closely related, but not necessarily paired with a degradation kink. Easy litmus test in a less religious context - does the fact that you're doing that to someone's daughter/son actually kinda turn you on?

No one's doing anything about it now and everyone knows it's happening (no one's meaningfully denying it, some people are just secretly fine with it). Why would an expose spelling it out after the fact change anything? We've done this dance before unfortunately.

It's not about the protocols. It's about business. We can have all the tech we want but until someone is willing to establish relationships with and pay the 3-4 middlemen involved in every single card payment it ain't happening.

Speaking from experience, those are business practice problems, not technical competence issues.

You do get what you pay for, but top line (counting the middlemen on both sides) Eastern European outsorcing rates are only about ~30% lower than US rates these days, and people still think of it as a cheap labor destination. So companies give you 25% allocation while pretending to give you 100% and such to make the math work out. Lots of shady business practices like that + outsorcing companies don't really give a damn about your product. I imagine you're thinking startups since we're talking "apps" here, and the industry gameplan there has been to bleed them dry for a while now unfortunately.

But if you're outstaffing and can actually manage the talent yourself, trust me these guys have no issue going toe-to-toe with US devs.

You bring up a valid point about why though (despite bad comp). My guess is free education up to and including your PhD, general technical inclination, differences in values (a lot of them straight up refuse to move or change their lifestyle for 4x the money for instance, almost inconceivable in the US). I do wonder if that will last though.

Of course it really depends on who you hire, there are also shit developers everywhere and you can get majorly screwed if you don't know what you're doing, and that becomes way more likely the moment you're hiring abroad (information asymmetry is a removed).
