How? Labour mobility sounds like easier visa applications. Free flow would mean you can go from one place to another without a passport (you can do this currently within the EU with a EU ID.)
But I like your and OP's analogy. Also, the productivity claims are coming from the guys in main memory or even disk, far removed from where the crunching is taking place. At those latency magnitudes, even riding a turtle would appear like a huge productivity gain.
It's a so-called hot-button topic and unfortunately HN isn't quite the paragon of pragmatic technical discussion that it was in the past. C'est la vie.
Soon the only way to assure your readers that your writing is human is by calling them a motherfucker in the opening sentence.
But then, you'd only be sure that the first sentence was legitimate and not the rest of the article. That is why I constantly reassure my readers that they're some goddamn motherfuckers throughout my writing. And you, too, are one, my friend.
