The problem is that significant percentage of the population is stupider than a ML algorithm, so anything that tests cognitive skills and reasoning is compromised.
We can probably test for feelings, but then the system won't pass CxO approval.
All organizations I've worked at want "top talent", but they don't know what to do with top-talent or don't have the environment for top-talent to perform disproportionately well. So, the top-talent are only slightly more productive than average, but they are fickle (don't take BS from management/business, no loyalty), not very likable (straight shooters, try to change the organization), or outright a liability (don't fall for PC agenda, diversity programs, social skills not honed).
In the context of medium to large organizations, it's best to hire "above-average" rather than "top" talent.
One explanation I heard from a musician friend against an auctioning system, was that they wanted a wider fan base (aka "the public") to see the performance rather than bunch of elitists who can afford top $$$. For that they can play at a private event (which they do, but tickets are not sold to the public).
Which begs the question - why are tickets for popular shows selling under market value?

The important question here is - why are artists not selling tickets at an auction to maximize revenue. If you answer this, then you will know how ticket sales for popular shows are different from stock markets.
Elysium (the movie) - the masters will maintain a small workforce, everything else will be made by the machines for the masters. The masters don't need to sell anything to anybody - just oppress, control and exploit. Once technology concentrates in the hands of a few, there is zero chance of social mobility.
The cloud data centers (public or private) need simple programmable switches/routers and all the smarts are done by proprietary infrastructure software that configures things on the fly.
The cloud guys develop and standardize their own hardware (contracted to network gear manufacturers) that works well with their infrastructure management software. Network gear manufacturers are relegated to makers of dumb hardware.
yep, starting a positive correlation between student debt and permanent disability. Soon we find out being white-collar increases the chances of permanent disability.

Discussing your pay with colleagues is probably ok, making it public knowledge just because is not.
This. There is a difference between immigration and diaspora. Immigrants are typically very open minded members of their society - they are looking for new opportunities because their own society at home is holding them back.
What we have in Europe right now is a diaspora - people from a totally foreign culture forced to live with another. Of course, one can argue that the refugees are in Europe by their own will, but the economic and social hardships in their own countries is so bad, that I would consider this a diaspora.
The political correctness of the hosts will allow the new foreign culture not to assimilate, and the children of these foreigners will end up outsiders in their own country. At least when there was conscription army in Europe, young males were forcefully mingled with other members of the society. Nowadays, young males are left isolated, exploited and desperate in their own ghettos, ripe for extremist brainwashing centered around their foreign culture and ethnicity.
The problem is not how much Google pay - the problem is concentration without infrastructure.
At least 15K people work at Google Mountain View office. And this is not just Google. Even if Google paid them $10M salary, people would still live in trucks because the surrounding infrastructure can accommodate only so much. Any pay raise Google gives, automatically goes in the pockets of the local landlords.
The solution is for Google to embrace tele-presence and eliminate out of its economy the local landlord's racket.
DevOps is not product development - it's glorified sysadmin. So yes, adding more sysadmins to babysit servers and software helps, the same way adding more babysitters helps with getting more diapers changed in a nursery.
The MMM is about DEVELOPMENT - something that requires invention, brainstorming and constant communication - not just execution.
Maybe because most of the "software development" nowadays is just configuring OTS frameworks and products, managers are confusing development with configuration and deployment.
Why is short-to-medium term outlook a bad thing? Why should a company exist and grow for hundreds of years?
Nowadays we have a flexible workforce, flexible markets and little bureaucracy to set up a new company. Ideally a company should be built around an idea, implement the idea in the best possible way and when the idea olives its usefulness, the company can fold. The players can move on to new things, with a new company, unencumbered by legacy baggage.
German people should absolutely be interested in donating to the PIIGs, otherwise their economy stagnates.
Why do you think Germany went off the Deutsche Mark in the first place? Germany exports 60% of its output to the EU countries (can't be bothered with citation). They need the bailouts and the export-based economy going. Had Germany stayed with the Deutsche Mark, they would have priced themselves out.
This is not about Greece, but about transferring money from the EU taxpayers into the hands of big corporations. And the EU taxpayer is a hostage - you may lose your job if you don't donate to the cause...
It could happen.
Most of the H1Bs are Indian and Chinese. Once they get domain experience in the US, they will become US-based managers for off-shore teams in India and China. Outsourcing may be rampant, but there is still bush back by American managers who have difficulties communicating with off-shore teams (language barrier, cultural differences, time difference, etc.)
Once the old-school middle management is replaced with Hindi and Mandarin speaking individuals - it's smooth sailing for outsourcing. Also, their hiring preference will be more towards hiring from/in their native county, because they are naturally more connected in their native country than the new host country.
Yeah, because litigation is the best social tool and we should be using more of it.
How about, if you come down with something, it's your problem for not getting yourself vaccinated.
Any language platform needs to make system calls into the OS.
For as long as all popular OS-es are written in C, all language platforms need to interoperate with C modules.
C is the "lingua franca".

yes, confirmation bias is strong with these buyers.

If you don't switch over to management in the first 24 months of your career, you will be forever stuck in Development (for good or bad).
As much as a medieval king cared to sell anything to the serfs.
