barriers

Nonetheless, discussions of the leaky pipeline in science rarely even mention an alternative to the theory of barriers and bias.

Sure the barriers to entry may be lower, but most science is a slog.

The barriers to entry are so high that it's nearly impossible for new entrants.

It's amazing how people think that there are all these barriers to programming for certain groups of people which must be overcome.

They only have their name brand, and Uber has to be aggressive because they're operating in a space with little barriers to entry.

There aren't any serious barriers to entry for web browsers so we have a free market.

Because logistical barriers often became lazy justification for distant/absent parenting?

The issue of Germany and entrepreneurship is a whole different rant, and there are legal barriers here which I believe stifle entrepreneurship.

We didn't chase prior art, mainly because none of the barriers were unavoidable and we wanted to keep momentum on the build.

Only part of that results in lower barriers to trade.

The nice thing about Uber's success, though, is that they're bearing the brunt of breaking down these barriers, leaving the path open for those that will follow.

There are no barriers to entry to erode future Uber profits if they make money and no perceived cost of using new entrants services or existing ones.

Mostly that reads like "follow these rules, update your processes and factories to these other specifications" - significant barriers themselves, just upstream from the actual trade.

Having said that, what I've seen is that looking strictly at technical ability I would say that Visa employees have in general been no better and no worse than the average US employee, but when it comes to "soft skills" are typically much worse off (and not just communication because of language barriers, but in other areas as well).
