It could well be that the only difference between the author and the people who "accept" crime is a few months. Is the author going to do anything about the problem other than restate it? If not, he might also shrug when someone arrives in town and states what everyone knows.
Dunno. I imagine they’d follow soon, though.

The only ones who get upset when you point this out are people who thought they could get away with and benefit from such a loophole. They see no problem with excluding others from the possibility of enjoying the same benefit as long as they already have it.

Climbing a ladder and then pulling it up after you is anti-social and shameful.

The thinking behind those kinds of perks is that they'll keep employees on-site longer, and that the additional time is at least somewhat productive. If you accept that supposition, then having nice and/or "fun" offices becomes justifiable...to a certain degree, anyhow; there's a very real limit to what you can reasonably squeeze out of people, after all.

Now, if I wanted to be cynical, I'd think that building what amounts to a bar in your office might be an effort to try and bring the illusion of a healthy work/life balance into the office to squeeze out a couple extra hours of work. If it looks like a bar and feels like a bar, will working in that bar still feel like working? For the most part, but it's that little difference that might be important.

That said, I don't actually think it's so blatantly manipulative. If people were already a bit more on the unhealthy side of a work/life balance--something that isn't exactly unheard of with plenty of tech companies--the design choice probably felt like it was reintroducing, at least to some extent, something already missing for some employees.

In any case, given the cost of building and furnishing new offices considered "nice" or "fancy" in this context, designing sections of the office to look like bars, libraries, or the Oval Office probably didn't add much to the overall budget. After all, you were going to furnish those areas, anyhow. For anything over that, you'd likely try to justify it in terms of increased employee morale and comfort.
"First of all, I'm not obese. Second, you lack reading comprehension. Third, you come across as a judgmental and unpleasant person."

I never said you were obese, I said this is the attitude of some obese people. Not the same thing, so maybe reading comprehension is something you need a little bit of help with.

Judgmental? Probably a little...As someone who lost over 100lbs and has kept it off for over a decade the old fashioned way...exercise and portion control...hearing people make excuses for why they cannot do the same gets kind of lame after a while.

Not to mention, they have to trust that they're actually telling the truth because it's basically an ICBM with a satellite as a payload (instead of an explosive weapon). Heck, it could still be both. Since it's a hostile party launching it, they have to treat it as if it's a weapon before it even launches (such as warning they'll shoot it down if it's in their airspace).
My one philosophical takeaway from GTD is the idea of offloading the record keeping and logistics of tasks to some slower external system.

This allows the "RAM" or faster context of your thinking to be focused entirely on what you're doing.

Every system built on top of this (including GTD itself) is just an interpretation of this core idea that GTD points to that have unique selling points.

For example, ticketing systems inspired by toyota-scrum-agile externalize work in a way so that you can debug bottlenecks. GTD itself focuses on capture and filtering. Newer "second brain" stuff focuses on the knowledge management itself.

These external systems tend to grow until they require a dedicated cabal of priests to manage them. Since these systems measures all "progress", individuals then become incentivized to align with the priests (or become one).

Eventually the finger that points to the moon becomes the moon itself. The system was intended to allow you to focus on The Important Thing but instead becomes The Important Thing itself.
Unfortunately, by far and away the biggest problem I've had with offshored work in India is the sheer poor quality of work and the lack of attention to details. I've been in IT for 23 years and worked with offshore teams all over the world. With India above all else, your best bet is to work with a team that you have direct references for, or past experiences; otherwise you can expect disappointment. I've lost count of all the times, there were fake resumes, people suddenly ghosting, and COUNTLESS quality issues. It seems like the culture of, "Acceptable is what you don't get caught with" is quite rampant there above anywhere else. I never ever would select to offshore anything to India if I had a choice!

I had this situation early in my career, where the main discussion people had was about the company's daily share price in the stock market. I didn't feel alive or wanted working in this environment. I also felt my brain was rusting.

Work is a fairly complex system and getting it to work towards our preferred success function or particular concept of happiness is herculean. I used to previously think that I need to adapt but I've dropped that concept. I go towards opportunities that are primed for what I consider fruitful and satisfactory work in an environment where I can see myself for 5+ years. Only if the particular work really needs me to do it, I do it else drop it. This may sound entitled but I feel its a way of taking care of yourself.

I'm not sure NCERT will ever be able to teach about ethnic diversity within India correctly - it's too politically loaded. For example, I'm Pahari. According to NCERT, we're a Hindi speaking ethnic group, though our Pahari languages are completely indecipherable to Hindi speakers (Eg. Sadh khol lal nukke heghe. Chaiyda tenu?) and we are classified as a different language group from Hindi. Similar reductiveness is applied to the "Hindi Heartland" by removing the ethnolinguistic diversity of Central India (eg. Bihar historically wasn't Hindi speaking until the 1970s because of Hindi oriented literacy programs).

If it's bad enough for highly represented regions of India, imagine less well represented areas like the North East, the Ghats, etc.

The big issue is NCERT and most grade school Indian historical education takes a very "Delhi" centric view of Gupta-Small Kingdoms-Delhi Sultanate-Mughals-British-Independence, but this chronological ordering is true for only a subset of India. South Indian kingdoms (itself a problematic term), Indigenous movements, the entire ethnographic history of the Northeast and the Northwest, etc all get ignored. That said, this is a bipartisan problem - doesn't matter if it's INC, BJP, whatever who's in power.

Also, there is a dearth of qualified teachers for the CBSE curriculum.
Sure there is often times a plan, it typically doesn't deserve the term "master plan" though and certainly doesn't deserve to be associated with the images the term invokes. Plans are usually badly though-out, watered-down for compromises and ignore second order effects. In addition, the things people latch on to were clearly not part of the plan. There wasn't a COVID lockdown, so that the guy in charge was able to visit a castle without other visitors there. At the risk of practicing mind-reading myself, I am pretty sure that visiting the castle didn't come up at any stage of the decision-making process that led to a lockdown. The cast visit wasn't part of the master plan. Like Gavin Newsom's visit to the French Laundry wasn't part of the plan for the lockdown in California. It's just shit leadership and inability to lead by example.

All these things are usually bad compromises that came out of some group or committee that's not nearly as homogenous and aligned as conspiracy theorists like to believe.

> Would you rather have strip-mining and smelting occurring in space or on earth?

I assume you mean "on the moon or on earth" since you can't really mine in empty space. The process of either (without air, for a start) would make them so different as to be incomparable.

Mining on the moon would have so many expenses associated, that you could spend the same amount making earth-based processes cleaner. The issue is that it's economical not to do so, so earth processes are dirty by design and due to lack of regulation.
What I meant by substance is that there is some effort to actually explain a comparison and thought. Not just a statement of fact or reference. Essentially making a case.

What I mean is different than accuracy. You could write an essay or book comparing something to Nazism, and be right or wrong, but at least you're making a case.

If you're just claiming a comparison without presenting a case, you can also be right or wrong, but you're not doing anything more than throwing a name around and making an ad hominem attack.
Republicans are the paragons of "boom now, bust later", alternatively "screw those who come after because I got mine". You're making a good point but don't seem to get it yourself.

The nuance is that with restrictions on property tax there is absolutely no disincentive for citizens to support local policies that restrict housing development. You are incentivized to keep the housing supply as low as you can possibly get it, because raising the price of your own property has zero downsides. This creates homelessness due to a restricted supply of housing.

fwiw... the latter person strongly recommended deleting all sugar from the diet.

The one issue I could not see a workaround for while living in the US was the food (short of getting *everything" flown in from the EU). That is why there is an obesity epidemic, the food is poison - and it is the entire chain, from confectionery in the grocery store to a meal at a high-end restaurant.

Back in the EU, everyday I am grateful for the simple, good, food that I can get even without making much effort - whether that be street food from a kiosk, or something I put together at home from basic supermarket ingredients.

I am lucky in that my body tells me what is good/bad food and what/how much it needs. It remains a mystery to me how others lose control of their weight.
The UK has the same problem as the US: it's effectively a two-party system, with a majority of the votes going to the large Tory and Labour block. For example, in the 2019 election 11.5% voted for LibDem, and instead of the 74 seats they'd have gained in a proportionally fair system as the German Bundestag, they got 11 of 650.

Hi, welcome to the conversation, I can tell this is the first time you've engaged with this topic, so I'd love to introduce you to the economic dynamics at play.

When property taxes don't rise, people are disincentivized from selling their home because if they buy a new home they must pay property taxes at the new rate, not the grandfathered one. This creates a bottlenecked supply of housing because no one sells. Growth stagnates and then you get these wild fights about who's allowed to build where, how much they're allowed to build, and what kinds of undesirables might move in and "change the community". It's really a clever ploy to use people's conservative instincts to juice the real estate market since scarcity brings about insanely high costs. Now those with Prop 13 homes are even less incentivized to move because their house's worth just keeps rising. They can use that and borrow against it to play financial games and make their money make money. All because they happened to have bought a home before this law passed: entirely luck, nothing to do with merit or skill.
Tool lending libraries exist and function perfectly well - there are 3 or 4 in my city (the nearest is a... oh wait, 15 minute walk from my house.) They have tool maintenance and repair nights every month - I've attended and it's a great group of volunteers who donate time and work to build a community of people dedicated to helping others.

I also live in a city with one of the highest-rated public transit systems in the US. The buses don't smell and they're affordable and provide great jobs to thousands of city residents while making it possible to cross the city for $2.50 (or $5 for the entire day.)

And lastly, no one is talking about "forcing" you to do anything. You're welcome to own your own set of tools if you don't want to use the libraries (I own a set of my own, but it can be much smaller because I can always pop by the library for something I don't own.) The commons are opt-in, aside from the rare cases where they need to be protected from people who refuse to be a part of the community that cares for the commons.
Not just the source, but like what do I do with it. Say I've got my list of urls of "good" news.

I'm guessing I need to somehow download the content, standardize it in some unspecified manner and get it into some unspecified format before putting it into this folder they're talking about there.

Very much feels like a "rest of the fuckin owl" situation of "train your own" model. It's missing the key part of "own".
1. Start business

2. Grow revenue to 500k/year

3. Pay yourself 100k per year.

When people actually do this, it cures poverty 100% of the time.

Or put another way, imagine a drug that cures schizophrenia but that causes the patient to be in such excruciating pain that only 1% continue to take the drug after a year. On an intent to treat basis the drug is useless, but if you look at study completers it's 100% effective. Should we still look for other treatments for the condition?

> that operates with so much secrecy that their leadership team is anonymous

The Rust leadership team is not anonymous; you can read about them on the rust-lang.org website [1]. The much-discussed "leadership chat" was created to enable process-all-the-way RFC acceptance earlier this year [2] and has been updated twice since then [3][4]. There was also public-facing communication about this [5].

Is the argument basically just "arg if only we could collect even more taxes we could use the money to fix all our problems"?

California already has super high taxes that are skewed towards taxing the rich more.

Seems like a joke at this point saying that they need even higher taxes.

Also California's system of propositions is one of the closest forms of direct democracy available anywhere, if you like democracy then you should like this system. It is sort of inconvenient that the system was used to stop tax increases for home owners, but these are exactly the reasons why the system was created in the first place, to give people power over their own lives.
