The problem is china's problem is not contained within china. CCP will force Zoom or any other companies to give the data they collect in other countries and due to market forces those companies has to comply legally or otherwise. Now do you see the problem, why china's authority to censor the internet is not an isolated issue ?

> From a professional standpoint LinkedIn gave me a lot of value for free

Could you please explain like what value you derive out of it. LinkedIn primary purpose is to build your professional network so that you can find your next job easily. It does not work out because programmers does not vouch for someone unless they have worked directly in my experience.

Interesting. Consider sharing the letter's or emails for our amusement and education. Thanks

Another thing every Manager should know about perceived power vs actual power. Considerable managers i have encountered think they are the loyal employees where as programmers are sellout's who switch when the get better offer. This is true to some degree but that does not give more power to the managers.

IBM has decided to not involve in govt projects involving face recognition technology citing bias https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23472762

> Brahmins, are known for self-control, patience, begging for alms

When one has self-control why should they beg ? Its contradictory ?

Its reasonable to be cynic about any for profit corporation. On the other hand facial recognition is not yet dominated by any single organization and IBM can enter if they really wanted to, so i guess there is some good faith involved.

Is it true according to Vedas the Hindu religious books sudras are forbidden to learn and hear them as it is written in Sanskrit. Do you have any recommendations of the English translation of the Vedas ?

This is legendary. How did he convince the board members that its good for business

Just Curious. Have you been using zettelkasten, org-roam or similar tool to take notes whenever you came across this topic and publishing now as the compiled version ?

That might be true, but their act brings awareness and does pr damage which is something.

Phew. I am about 30 and i fear age discrimination. Love to hear more of these stories.

That's strange, this project is funded by mozilla and does not run on latest firefox

The burden of proof is on the accuser.

When companies no longer own physical offices, interviews will be remote and one can use software filters or dye hair to look younger and avoid age bias. I am not being sarcastic, i genuinely fear of getting rejected due to age.

I understand, but think about in next 10 years when all the hairs turn grey.

The age bias is real. I am glad remote work is being embraced by many companies, it will help fight against age bias.

The narrative fallacy is that human form simpler narratives because the reality is very complicated to comprehend. May be it is true, but how to prove. It is possible to prove narrative is simple, but to measure the incomprehensible reality.

This question is for emacs users reading this post, do you use org-mode for Zettelkasten-based note taking or some other mode or tool ?

Yes. 3Blue1Brown has himself said multiple times no videos is substitute for text books.

Malcom Gladwell made a similar point on his podcast http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/06-my-little-hundred-...

Any text longer than 3 lines must go through multiple edits. This rule must be applied to all forms of textual communication including slack or teams chat.

PS: I would be thankful if you can make my post succinct without any loss in the information.

My hypothesis is technical writing is different from non-technical writing and those who have mastered both the skills are in huge demand and have better career path than being a coach.

Comparing Chanakya to the works of Machiavelli is not fair. Chanakya was from priestly class who used the religious belief's of the people to his leverage and overthrow the king who did not accept Brahmin(priest) class is superior to Kings. His writing's is about advocating the class system. In the case of Machiavelli his writings is about the observation's of what qualities both good and bad were required to be a king.

This is a big win, but do not forget Google is in the board of ICANN.

Another point in favor of remote work is trans people feel safe WFH . https://genevievefiles.blogspot.com/2019/06/remote-work.html

Most companies set the limit on the working hours and its not such a big issue to adopt to. Post covid-19 this trend of WFH is going to be the norm

Even the software service companies are realizing the benefits of WFH. https://www.businesstoday.in/current/corporate/post-coronavi...

> According to the Vedas, one's varna dharma is independent of one's family. I've said this in every single post in this thread.

Yet, every time you have been wrong((https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/4104). What vedas says about movement of varna is that it is permitted only if it is accepted by other community which is not practical due to the incentive structure i have already explained in my previous reply. The varna conversions are cited only in the stories from the hindu holy books, it is never an independent choice. And the rules are entirely different when it comes to the highest varna in the hierarchy(i.e priest). The priest must volunteer himself to change if he feels for 16 years he has not done the duties according to his varna(NOTE: The pronoun "he" is used intentionally. Because women is considered lower that the bottom of varna system) . Now do you see why the movement b/w varna never happened and not practical.

> I suspect based on your username (John) and your use of "Britisher" that you're a Christian in India, which is likely why you continue to spread ignorance

I am born to Hindu family, but i am an atheist turned antagonistic. My motivation is to make logical conversation and convince that getting rid of varna system is better for India and not undo the progress.

> your use of "Britisher" What do you mean by this ?
