In the reddit post, it is clear the person who came up with this didn't want it to be copied. I feel sad for that person.

Predicting future productivity is hard and there is no magic set of questions that will predict it. It seems tech companies worry too much about the questions they ask rather than interpreting the answers that they were given. The solution seems to be to not worry about it too much and just hire (and fire) liberally.

That would be great if they were as it would make Chinese silicon cheaper for the US since they are trading partners.

Are you saying that the Chinese government is subsidizing the entire semiconductor industry to drive US companies out of business?

Are you saying that Chinese semiconductor companies are outcompeting US semiconductor companies because they have greater access to capital? That doesn't seem right to me.
