The problem is that unlike China, it takes a LOT to get to that point.
In the US, you don't have to worry about being from the wrong family. In China, it means the difference between a good life and mere subsistence.
In the US, academic tests don't determine your future path. In China, your degree of slavery or freedom depends on one test.
In the US, education is accessible to all, not just the rich or well-connected. In China, they only send the Harvard-qualified to universities while letting the rest fall fallow.
In the US, someone can criticize the equivalent of Foxconn and not get killed for it. In China, the company is so entwined with the government that they can kill their critics, call it "suicide".
In the US, stories don't get censored due to unpopularity with the government(see Fox). In China, there is no Fox.
In the US, unrest won't kill the government. In China, they fear it so much because it will.
In the US, we don't have no-go zones like Tibet or Xinjiang.
This is a forty times forty element matrix of fifty-six bit hexadecimal numbers.
To generate a source key, take a forty-bit number that (in binary) consists of twenty ones and twenty zeroes; this is the source KSV. Add together those twenty rows of the matrix that correspond to the ones in the KSV (with the lowest bit in the KSV corresponding to the first row), taking all elements modulo two to the power of fifty-six; this is the source private key.
To generate a sink key, do the same, but with the transposed matrix.
For the many of us who don't want to pay for their legal and PR team(or fund a China-backed company), is there a way to go to a more direct source (e.g. T-Mobile?)?

What Mr. Gou doesn't realize is that in his region, all I have to do is be of the right family and he is toast.
Kill him, his family, his associates, his business partners, the guards, and anyone associated with Foxconn that isn't a mere worker. Put it on CNN, and say I was merely complying with local law, just like any other international business would. Give him a taste of his own medicine and show him how fake his company's Potemkin Village is.
That's how it usually goes in a business-friendly Third World country. Looks heavenly if you're a business or the government, looks like hell if you are not.
Just make it legal to bullshit on the resume and cheat on employment tests in the same manner that the offshore worker gets to do. Allow it as long as those "skilled worker immigration" programs exist. Regularly point it out every time someone complains about the legalized fraud.
I have to agree here. I was forced to go the H1B route at my last job to hire an entry level applications engineer. Believe it or not, I couldn't find a single qualified US citizen or resident alien, and we did not have a mystery requirement. It was a solid technical person, engineer, that anyone with a EE or even a physics degree could have done. Just no early career people to fill the role (it was a junior applications engineer role).
Somewhere, there is some bullshit that you did throw in to not get a US citizen.
Today: "Even though you're a perfect fit for the position in every way, we're somewhat concerned that you've been out of work for a year and feel your skills may be out of date, even though the technologies involved have not changed at all during that time. We'll also say the same thing about when we first saw your resume 10 months ago, because we don't have a clear idea of how time works."
Easy, make it legally impossible to not hire the long-term unemployed. The longer you're out of work, the more qualifications you get to throw out of consideration.
That's pretty much in line with my thinking: the 6% unemployment number is complete BS, because those 6% appear to be unemployable. We're still counting too many dot com bubblers as 'in' our field.
While there might be some justification, the large part is the set of companies that are being allowed to be too picky for their own good.

...and like Harper, his ideological attacks won't either.
If he's sold his immortal soul for physical immortality, you might be wrong.

Need I say more?
In a bad economy, sticking it to the individual worker through HR seems to always creep up.
Unless they provide a full & accurate report as to what information was collected on you(and how it was used), it shouldn't even be happening.
N/T.
More of a case to make it harder for companies to filter out people without degrees, or anything that would indicate it.
Make the business take less and give them hell if they try otherwise.
That's a case to make it harder for employers to do that. Make the company have to take some of those people.
They shouldn't be allowed perfection while asking people to take less.
Ah, the pro-offshoring guy that says your qualifications would never be enough?
That kind of obliterates any point he wants to make.
Unless /. mangles it, it should be the exact same.

Problem is that it has very limited data @ 100MB. Cue the "100MB is enough for the target market" folks.
For the many of us who don't want to pay for their legal and PR team(or fund a China-backed company), is there a way to go to a more direct source (e.g. T-Mobile?)?
It is alleged that the details of more than 35,000 English fans -- who visited Germany for the 2006 World Cup -- had their passport and allied data sold to ticket touts for marketing purposes."
No wonder, they're scalpers.
What Mr. Gou doesn't realize is that in his region, all I have to do is be of the right family and he is toast.
Kill him, his family, his associates, his business partners, the guards, and anyone associated with Foxconn that isn't a mere worker. Put it on CNN, and say I was merely complying with local law, just like any other international business would. Give him a taste of his own medicine and show him how fake his company's Potemkin Village is.
That's how it usually goes in a business-friendly Third World country. Looks heavenly if you're a business or the government, looks like hell if you are not.
Just make it legal to bullshit on the resume and cheat on employment tests in the same manner that the offshore worker gets to do. Allow it as long as those "skilled worker immigration" programs exist. Regularly point it out every time someone complains about the legalized fraud.
Compare the cost in time and money of a business opening in a new country versus an individual gaining a work permit or citizenship.
The business can hold multiple "citizenships" while the individual has to go through immigration.
(since someone modbombed my other one)
Calling them "skilled workers" is a joke. Fake qualifications, poor work, and the US-based guy has to clean up the mess.
Fire those H1b folks, replace them with US citizens, and get on with the day.
Mod parent troll anyway.
I have to agree here. I was forced to go the H1B route at my last job to hire an entry level applications engineer. Believe it or not, I couldn't find a single qualified US citizen or resident alien, and we did not have a mystery requirement. It was a solid technical person, engineer, that anyone with a EE or even a physics degree could have done. Just no early career people to fill the role (it was a junior applications engineer role).
Somewhere, there is some bullshit that you did throw in to not get a US citizen.
Anon, but I don't care.
Have posted on facebook marketplace, craigslist, 10 very large universities, a few other places. Not a single qualified resume. We aren't picky.
Something you're doing is not getting the results you want. Mind you, this is slashdot, not "HR consulting".
Today: "Even though you're a perfect fit for the position in every way, we're somewhat concerned that you've been out of work for a year and feel your skills may be out of date, even though the technologies involved have not changed at all during that time. We'll also say the same thing about when we first saw your resume 10 months ago, because we don't have a clear idea of how time works."
Easy, make it legally impossible to not hire the long-term unemployed. The longer you're out of work, the more qualifications you get to throw out of consideration.
Then start playing atomic-level pool with the Third World, or getting them to wipe themselves out?
Then by all means take the political route and favor our own for once.
Answer the question: why businesses can demand perfection while individuals cannot?
...and who made you the sole arbiter that decision?
That's pretty much in line with my thinking: the 6% unemployment number is complete BS, because those 6% appear to be unemployable. We're still counting too many dot com bubblers as 'in' our field.
While there might be some justification, the large part is the set of companies that are being allowed to be too picky for their own good.

The irony is that if he didn't jump ship to HP, NCR was likely to have stayed in Ohio.
