If that is the cost of keeping the value within the western economies, we should pay. Plain and simple. I'd even argue it's cheap.
This is not an easy inference. For this inference to be true , you have to know how much of the expense goes to salaries . Also, you have to give credit to tsmc to be world class which enables them to control prices, it may not translate across industries

Thanks! The main reason is that we don’t know what important details are left out when the article is summarized, then if people make comments in response to the summary instead of reading the whole article, the discussion thread is somewhat poisoned.
Makes sense. Btw, I gave you two likes since you have pretty low karma here on HN :) and I know how that feels.

Conclusion
The data points cited in the article are mostly accurate, based on available government reports (e.g., USCIS, ICE, NACE). However, the interpretations and causal claims are ideologically framed and often lack nuance:
Sound in identifying employment and wage challenges for new CS graduates.
Oversimplified in attributing these challenges mainly or solely to foreign workers.
Questionable in presenting policy recommendations as the only “truth-based” solution.
If you're looking for a deeper, balanced understanding, consider consulting:
National Science Board’s Science & Engineering Indicators
Brookings Institution or Cato Institute reports (for contrasting views)
NACE and NCES for graduate outcomes and education data

there are a million different manufacturers of, for example, hot dogs, and those hot dogs basically taste all the same to everyone, and yet they're all making basically identical hotdogs and doing fine
But none of them would end up becoming Coca Cola. At least not just by selling hot dogs.

because it's an obvious straw man.
Maybe it is not, you need much more context about the OP to declare this as a straw argument. Confidentiality agreements are generally very boilerplate. If someone is thinking that this is preventing them from working at something, they are possibly just not understanding what stealing means. This guy possibly had similar understanding of laws: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-uber-executive-s...

So if you are against this, you are okay with Coca Cola’s secret to be divulged by any employee to any competitor? If you cannot let companies maintain trade secrets, you may as well close them down.
why downvote this? I have gone through this route and can vouch this is for a good cause, this conversation may mislead people into believing stealing is okay.
