> Also I hate this "The Chinese" thing

to me it was positive assessment, I adore their craftsmanship and persistence in moving forward for long period of time.

It erases the individuals doing the actual research by viewing Chinese people as a monolith.

> Definitely don't look into the financial details of that deal with Nvidia!

could you elaborate about what do you mean?..

1. "Specific numbers about trade balance' isn't a negotiation term. It might be a prior that feeds into your position in negotiation, but it's not an outcome.

2. He lies when his lips move. When you're dealing with a pathological liar, there's no reason to believe anything he says that paints him in a good light - until it's been independently confirmed.

there is no democratic process in a corporation besides board voting, but they could be supportive for outer democratic environment, instead of attacking it.

> Does that mean the courts should refuse to enforce any sort of agreement between Meta and any individual?

not any, but those which cover potential crimes.

Even with a NDA, you can still go to the authorities to report illegal acts. You just can't monetize your past employment in the form of a 500k book deal. Between the public's interest of crimes being prosecuted and the freedom of individuals being able to enter into agreements, I think that's already a pretty fair trade-off.

> you can still go to the authorities to report illegal acts

that authority could be birded by corp and report will go nowhere.

> You just can't monetize your past employment in the form of a 500k book deal.

sure, its reasonable to have non-monetization clause in contract, but it is unreasonable to have blanket statements to not ever talk about events during employments under any circumstances, which likely included into NDA.

the interesting part is that in this specific case, Meta allegedly was a tool to suppress free speech by government. Although, government was Chinese.

your link says that those numbers are after some time spent in US, and initial payment is 75k for 25p and 94k for 50p.

Also, those numbers are bumped up by bigtech who doesn't discriminate by visa, so pays in bodyshops are even lower and tech salaries are way higher than that in US.

the question is if this signal will go through all job market clutter (fake resumes, AI in all places, etc)

this is narrow niche with high amount of training data (they all buy training data from leetcode), and this results are not necessary generalizable on overall industrial tasks
