... it just doesn't cost that much to build a house. Assuming you're happy with a basic design, and no frills fittings a house can be built for well under $100,000.
There's no way a pre-fab should cost more than that
Good software developers re-use mature code. Naive software developers don't.
It takes years and years of experience (for some reason) to understand how important "The Unix Philosophy" is. Startups like Uber don't want to pay for that expertise, they just want to produce a product as quickly and cheaply as possible so that they can start raking in cash. Startups are not focused on the long term at all. If they were, this kind of shit wouldn't happen.
Factor in the price, and energy consumption savings of a modern appliance, and it can last about 1/6th as long and still be the same value. So, your 1980s dishwasher crapped out after a whopping 20 years, that means my 2015 model only needs to last 3.5 years. I guess I'll be buying a new one next year.
"The average dishwasher today is not only more than twice as energy-efficient as a comparable 1981 model, but its real cost today is only about 50% of the price of the 1981 dishwasher, measured in hours worked at the average hourly wage. Put those two factors together, and the average American’s dishwasher today is about six times superior to the dishwasher of thirty years ago"
Give me a break, FaceBook software is idiotically trivial. The single hardest task FB engineers face is how to distribute the data, and that is a problem that is mostly solved by hardware.
It has been pretty well understood for several centuries how sound waves behave. My guess is that Da Vinci could have told us the same thing, 500 years ago.
....at less less than 12 minute intervals. It takes me 5 minutes just to get back "into" my job after getting up for another coffee. I routinely sit for 55 minutes at a stretch, anything less, and my productivity suffers dramatically.
OpenCL is a framework not a language. It says so right on the Kronos website. OpenCL specifies which languages may be used to implement interfaces which the framework specifies.
My experience is likewise. Somehow it's more acceptable to say "I hate chemistry" or "I suck at math" than it is to say "I hate sculpting", or "I suck at visual arts".
My lifelong experience of dealing with Liberal Arts majors (anything from Literature to History to Music) is that they are much more one-dimensional, typically significantly less broadly educated, and generally totally naive about some of the more serious aspects of life like: How not to get ripped off by crappy insurance policies, or endowment mortgages, or even their local plumber, auto repair, or anything else that requires critical and analytical thinking about money.
Similarly they also tend to be much more leftist in their politics to the point of being totally unreasonable about topics like immigration, or taxation, or the other important topics. It's these people, almost exclusively, shouting for "safe spaces" and such nonsense.
So I suggest Vinod head back to his homeland if he doesn't like how it works in California.
Otherwise, he needs to learn the California ethos. I wasn't born there either but spent almost half my life there, particularly my formative years, so I feel like a Californian. I remember what it was like in the 70s and 80s before all the asshats arrived and ruined it.
I'd love to see ithe go back to how it was. Laid back, easy, slow, mellow. I really miss California. It's gone now but it could return if we educate dickheads like Vinod.
You get in your car (or *a* car), and tell it where you want to go. Let's say it's a 50+ km journey using a motorway. Along the way, it's extremely likely that someone else, in another vehicle will be sharing a significant portion of your journey (that's why there's so much traffic on the motorways). So, each vehicle needs only to advertise its intended course, along the way, at regular intervals, then other cars join in - driving close enough to benefit from decreased wind resistance. In fact this benefits the lead car too, since such a configuration reduces the lead cars drag. When each car in the "train" needs to depart the train, it only needs to emit a warning signal a few seconds before hand, then maneuvers out of the train, whereupon the train reforms without that car in.
This has all kind of benefits for the passengers. Reduced cost, and nose. Increased safety. Probably faster journeys too.

You really need a lesson in economics.
If they're truly underpaid it's their own fault.
Any other reason for low pay is not being underpaid, it's just the market finding their value. It sucks but it's really that simple.

I think you have mis-under-estimated the ability of humans to make seriously fucked up decisions.
You won this !

A corporation out-negotiates a bunch of stupid politicians.
Jeesuz, why is this even news ? It would be news if politicians out-negotiated Foxconn. Call me when that happens.
Of course it's not mandatory, you negotiate it before you sign the employment contract.
...personal vehicles do this too.
The scenario works like this:
You get in your car (or *a* car), and tell it where you want to go. Let's say it's a 50+ km journey using a motorway. Along the way, it's extremely likely that someone else, in another vehicle will be sharing a significant portion of your journey (that's why there's so much traffic on the motorways).

Yeah, whomever the "former Facebook engineer" is, is clearly an idiot.
As if the whole point of being alive is to work for some shit company like FB for a very average wage.
Imagine the nerve of those people who work reasonable hours, and get great pay too. They're such capaitalists.
Branding is totally unnecessary when you produce a superior product.
