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.
No, shareholder interest, which - in the absence of the clear desire of the majority shareholder(s) - is assumed to be profit. So I think the question above is quite important actually
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?
Why is 50% the target?
What? No they don't. Unless "had" is the operative word there.
Yes, but I've had it across multiple sites that play video, so I don't think it's youtube.
Just make sure you put in a stop-loss order
You keep telling the next investor it'll be profitable soon. I believe the guy that came up with this scheme first went to prison or something, but afterwards we all collectively decided we were cool with it.
Idk, doing this "properly" would take an immense amount of effort and manpower. This feels more like a "let me get enough info for an educated guess" EDA process, which still seems to have taken a lot of effort and I appreciate it a lot.
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).
