You could be downvoted, the real reason is so many Indians don't even think this is anything wrong. Globalization has presented an opportunity for Indians like me to travel abroad and see how well the systems work outside. For a lot of Indians, something like this is invisible. Often the exposure is to infrastructure seen through Hollywood movies or these days, YouTube.

The 3 years or so I spent in Bay Area,CA literally floored my mind. Things as simple as getting a California State Identity card without bribes, to VTA drivers saying Good morning. Trains run on time, parks are kept clean. People pay taxes, police doesn't ask for bribes, people cleaning up after their dogs in parks. I have even seen emergency services arrive in like minutes in case of accidents in places like Sunnyvale.

Heck when I was there the Santa Clara County was doing some water harvesting project for millions. That's like a small residential area equivalent in Bangalore, the scale and audacity of ambition itself was shocking to me. The contrast being, a place like Koramangala in Bangalore, would probably debate to death to a get a leaf composter and instead burn the leaves and pollute the air around.

In Australia, all Chinese students were allowed to stay if they so wished after Tiananmen, the Prime Minister at the time made it happen. I think that was a proud moment for Australia. Times have changed, immigration is now a particularly obscene political tool, as is climate change.
What kind of skills are you guys particularly looking for right now? Any product management/marketing roles?
For the most part, a functioning government is non-existent in India. The primary activity of both the federal/central and state governments in India is theft (through bribes as well as taxes), and being a drag on the economy. It's not unlike a Mafia-run protection racket. If you don't pay bribes or taxes, you either get in trouble, or don't get basic services. A good chunk of the tax revenue is robbed by at various points due to corruption, and rarely does the majority of it actually get used for public services. The fact that the streets of most major Indian cities lay strewn with garbage, is just one testament to the brokenness of public services in India.

Beyond that, the degree to which the governments in India have stifled economic growth and the potential of the country is truly horrifying. Up until around 1990, the governments agenda was perpetual poverty as they made it impossible for people to start businesses, by imposing significant red tape, and requiring regulatory approval for every little thing (look up "License Raj").

Both of these things were invented by Lisp. The reason C didn't include them was because C and its ancestors was designed to be easy to write a parser for (well, "relatively" anyway, it's not exactly as barebones as sexps) and to be usable with a preprocessor macro system, so you end up with a language designed with a lot of syntactic cruft (braces, semicolons, ternaries, etc.) meant as aids to compiler authors.

> - Policeman and management salaries go up.

That won't yield much because the gap between even a 100% increase in salary and the amount of bribes they collect is vast.

E.g. salary of an inspector could be, say INR 40k-50k per month but the bribes being collected typically would be millions of INR. Suppose an inspector has 15 people reporting to him who are collecting INR 200 from 300 people per day and the inspectors share in this is just 5%. Then the amount per month is 200 * 300 * 30 * 15 * .05 = INR 1350000. If I assume the salary to be 50k per month, this bribe amount is 27 times that. It is just not possible for the government to get the salary even in the same vicinity (just for kicks, Indian President's salary is about INR 500000 per month).

Why? Because it's an meta analysis of a bunch of actually rigorous papers written for the general public.

My original source was a blogpost written by some guy with an opinion. I promise you I'm not lying that's what it said, but I wouldn't trust the statistics he had to not be caused by some quirk like "people in safer to countries to bike are less likely to wear helmets". I can't find it again, sorry - probably because google has gotten so much worse at surfacing blogposts in the last few years. You'll just have to take my word that I wasn't lying when I said I saw such statistics (or google more yourself, I didn't try that hard, but at some point googling for statistics that support your view is unfair cherry picking of evidence).
The version of /bin/zsh on macOS 10.14.5 is a little over 2 years old. This means they have already been shipping updates to it. Now that it's the default shell they'll probably ship updates a little more frequently (I don't have Catalina installed but I'm guessing its version of zsh is newer than 5.3).

The majority of recessions probably don't turn in to food supply halting catastrophes.

I'd argue Venezuela has experienced a cascade of poor choices well beyond your average general decline in economic activity.

Do you really believe Britain is on the brink of a Brexit induced food supply halting catastrophe? I'd seriously like to believe trade relations are strong and that selling in to a 60+ million population market is a strong incentive to keep trade relations well lubricated.

The PS2 was released in 1987, 5 years after the US antitrust suit against IBM ended, and after IBM no longer had a monopoly position in the PC market.

It was a different era and the horses had left the barn. The PS/2 was a dead end. The original PC architecture, openly evolved, is still generating hundreds of billions in revenue each year - just not for IBM.
I've been tracing an ongoing pattern whereby large corporations seem to alter reach of tweets that are critical of the corporation, even when the tweets are factual.

I've been critical of Cargill foods including exploring the link between the herbicides and antibiotics in their meat on testosterone. We're talking pubmed links, screenshots, etc.

They seem to have blocked certain keywords like Cargill + my username and have selectively removed the most powerful tweets from Twitter search. On the selectively censored search results, the posts disappear from search during business hours, as if being hand picked by executives.

I speak fluent Dutch & English. I've been a mobile developer for almost 10 years. For the last year I've worked remotely through Codementor for a US client. My going rate at the moment is at least 55 USD per hour for remote work. Even though I am a primarily mobile developer, I'd also be open to positions as tester (including test automation) as I have also some experience in that area. I am mostly interested in full-time (40 hours / week) remote positions.
Why do you think the US government funds basic research?

Are you under the impression the Chinese don't also fund basic research? Or that it's a quick hop from basic research to a marketable, approved drug?

And why is this all about who profits rather than curing cancer?

Note that PayPal gives away your email address, and I’m not a fan of that. If a third party wants my email address, they should ask me directly (and I’ll give them a unique one); PayPal shouldn’t distribute my email address for me.

Look, I use three email domains for online accounts, in addition to a unique address for each account — one domain that links to my actual identity (my public-facing, professional domain), one domain that’s somewhat anonymous, and one domain reserved for highly sensitive accounts, e.g. online banking, PayPal, AppleID, etc. And PayPal sharing my email address with third parties breaks the model, making my sensitive domain less secure.

format=flowed has many other problems, aside from mangling mails. It gets lost easily; intermixing mail clients that handle it with those that don't (or have been intentionally configured to ignore it because it mangles mails) produces poor results; it often breaks signatures; it makes it harder to quote and reply to emails; in general, it means the person on the other end will not see exactly what you sent.

From a purely self-interested perspective, this is the dumbest thing the US could possibly do. There are talented people who want to leave China and come study and work in the US. We are basically stealing China’s best minds. Now we’re telling them they can’t come and shipping them back? I don’t think we should have conflict with China, but, if you are looking for conflict with China, sending brilliant minds back to them is so stupid that it’s almost unimaginable

Actually this feature is in Perl5, you just have to ask the compiler for a recent enough version.

Though it has been marked as experimental because the Perl6 design for this didn't fit into Perl5 as well as was hoped for. That is it had edge-cases that need to be worked through before it is recommended for general use.

Sure. Looking at each of the external sphere holes, each seems to be associated with a triangle of connected internal sphere holes. The central point of each sphere is therefore associated with the central points of three others in an adjacent plane.

It is easily possible to conceptualise the 'grate' of this mac-pro as a set of interlocking tetrahedra of origins of the spherical spaces, instead of interlocking tetrahedra of the joints; a little like a photo-negative.

I dislike the appearance myself, it provokes a mild feeling of trypophobia, but I don't see anything dishonest about their term.

Well, what you said is true. But the society in India functions, though in its own way...

I think it all comes down to population and resulting resource crunch, leaving folks trying to find all sorts of ways to use situations to their advantage.
While one can argue that it comes as a part of culture as well, I would say the said culture develops because while we can act self-less and well-mannered for some time or even some generations, poverty and competition eventually gets to you and makes you behave it all sorts of ways.

Corruption only adds to the plight. That must be stopped.

Here in the US we have the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety fighting to go the other way. For example the new requirements for roof strength add weight. It's for nothing too, since safety is impacted by the thicker roof pillars creating bigger blind spots.

> Chargebacks are overwhelmingly positive.

Not in my experience! Chargeback can kill small businesses rather easily. My dad used to run a timber store. His biggest chargeback was around $5k. The 'card owner' who we vetted, by giving correct name, home address and cvc. The 'card owner' asked it to be delivered around the corner (which is not unusual). 48hrs after delivery (1 week after ordering) later the bank did a charge back...

A large supplier near us got stung for >40k with a single chargeback.

Both instances had documented proof that the retailer has all the information about the card holder & had all reasonable evidence to assume it was the right person.

Most trade people I know, these days ask for 'staged' payments, to ensure a) cashflow & b) reduce risk of chargeback.

It's made me wonder why any retailer puts up with it.

That said, for internet purchases, I appreciate how awesome it is!
Maybe they mean they don't add ads before/during/between the videos, but leave in sponsored ads the creators put in the videos themselves.

Is there a better word for that? Is there a broadcasting term for the type of ads you'd see more in the '50s, ie. "This program brought to you by Lucky Strike! Hmmm, it's toasted!", where the ad is embedded into the show and not a separate block of 15, 30 second segments?

What would you consider ambitious?

Mandate that ICE cars be 30% more fuel efficient in 2025 OR 80% by 2030?

And is it better to have ambitious goals vs realistic goals?
What might the impact of society be if we put up very ambitious goals but fail them all massively, what will happen to the trust of government institutions?

P.S
I have a B.Sc in Energy engineering and working on a M.Sc in a field of renewable energy and I'm very skeptical of the goal politicians make, many goals who should be fulfilled when they have long since left office.
Many do because they can't stay.

>>Up until around 1990, the governments agenda was perpetual poverty as they made it impossible for people to start businesses, by imposing significant red tape, and requiring regulatory approval for almost every little thing. (look up "License Raj").

The more things change, the more they remain same. You can't exactly fix these things with laws. You need to have cultural change at some point in time.

I remember a colleague telling a story about a product company shuttering its offshore center in India. A lot of Indian colleagues stood up and spoke passionately about the benefits and advantages of doing business in India, including access to talent. Apparently the boss in US, he was a CTO just stoop up asked us a simple question:

What do you guys make in India?

It was a fairly simple question, it was a kind of brutal self appraisal, but apart from making soaps and clothing and ball point pens, you really struggle to answer the question. What IP do we build here? and what do we make that we sell, like products? Compare this with any top world economy today like US, China, Germany, UK etc. You begin to realize how far behind we are.

India is all about reselling things we don't make. In this kind of an economy, higher your population, more hands the goods change through. Each person gets a cut, you could linear interpolate this, have a 3 billion population and even exceed US economy. But it will change nothing in people's living standards, or quality, it won't give them quality education or health care, or anything for that matter. Basically numbers look beautiful, while nothing changes on the ground.

Lastly Indian love for bureaucracy and red tape is undying and eternal. This comes from aristocracy and government. People think being management jobs means doing 0 work and having access to slaves who serve them while making big money. Ivy League grads aspire to do MBA's from top colleges. Programmers want to be managers ASAP. Pretty much all my cousins have a distance education MBA. No appetite for engineering.

In short you can't change this with laws. People have to change.
Yeah. My kid in Year 4 (Grade 3) has been doing this with his classmates. They fake their on-screen scores on TT Rockstars (a times tables game) and other shenanigans. So they might not be impressed if they have already discovered it.
I had a similar experience. I wanted to cancel my old credit card but couldn't find a way to do it online. As there were no fees I just ignored it. Well, it turned out that my VPN still had it as the payment method and so I got a bill to please pay my negative balance (they require at least 10% to be paid off after a month).

Of course, I paid. But it turns out that I need to contact them to unlock the card after I had a negative balance. I kept postponing it and kept getting 0€ bills every month. After 3 months they told me they are sorry to see me go but they'd have to cancel my account because of a balance of -0€.

It was kinda funny but worked out well :D

No, that’s not true. People rarely even consider that there is a special term for being the only buyer or controlling all of the buyers.

I can’t think of any scenarios where people referred to the military as having a monopoly on the missile market. It doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t even make missiles.
I'm sure there is some code review for the configuration changes, but clearly the engineer(s) and reviewer(s) missed that the scope of the selector it was targeting.

Its so vague its hard to tell what actually happened.
