One of the best features of homesourcing, one that everybody is thinking about but nobody is discussing, is that it completely sidesteps the need to arrive at a universal, global workplace monoculture.
People can be truly diverse, including in ways that other people find offensive, objectionable, or unacceptable, when they're not forced to share the same physical spaces.
The question of how google should solve the complex and confusing world of indian caste politics is a stupid question. Google should fix their search results and leave fixing India to Indians.

- wikitopian 4y agoWhether an Indian is in India or Indiana, his participation in the economy shouldn't be contingent upon his discarding his ancient culture in exchange for a tacky workplace monoculture that was concocted last thursday. While sharing physical space requires arriving at a least common denominator culture (watered down western culture), sharing virtual spaces requires far fewer and less intrusive compromises. Personally, I think work and open source should be done like it was in the nineties, where everybody has an IRC handle and you don't know enough about who they are or where they're from to discriminate against anybody or be offended by anybody's lifestyles and cultural quirks.
