i agree with that. but, the proportion to how many h1bs get allocated to these staffing companies vs outsourcing is maybe 1:20 even if taken as an aggregate. even though it wont entirely eliminate the problem, it is still a good start. The second thing is to create rules to directly discourage indirect employment when on H1B (the abused vendor model).

the move towards preference for masters degree is a decent start. there is no way someone with a masters degree would want to work for one of the consulting firms.

this is fantastic analogy. but, Steve just got a promotion and likes the BMW 3 series. But, advertising a Tesla 3 can be another worthy option you are trying to advertise. I think behavioral and randomness should go hand in hand.

i really like the people's part. even if something ain't earth shattering. you can predict if something will work by measuring those important factors (earnest, energetic, independent minded).

Evolution and Death

"The most important component of evolution is death. Or, said another way, it’s easier to create a new organism than to change an existing one. Most organisms are highly resistant to change, but when they die it becomes possible for new and improved organisms to take their place.

This rule applies to social structures such as corporations as well as biological organisms: very few companies are capable of making significant changes in their culture or business model, so it is good for companies eventually to go out of business, thereby opening space for better companies in the future."

— John Ousterhout, Stanford professor

the process is not concurrent. it is still parallel.

9 women cannot make 9 babies in 1 month nor 1 women can make 1 baby in 1 month. no concurrency in baby making for sure.

its only a matter of time we find other living organisms. The odds are staked so high against not finding any.
