Ideally, a government (temporally) "steers" a state, which, again ideally, would be the property of its inhabitants.

While supporting all the individual tips here as well, trying to understand the underlying societal dynamics of mental issues can also create new perspectives, new motivation, and relieve. For starters, I would recommend Mark Fisher's

How do you come to conclude that Organisation A (monopolist) will magically be less good than Organisation A (owned by the state)? If the same organisation is profitable while but state-owned, it could also be an indicator that it's ju

It's not like I don't believe that. But I am interested in any data taking salaries and qualification/experience into account. Local costs of living are certainly important for the employees, but not so much for the employer

Also, is there any data confirming that equally well educated Indian developers are 10x cheaper than American ones? How does it compare to European ones? I'd love a serious answer, but I am aware that software quality is almost impossi

Not sure what you are implying. Some monetary incentive is of course nice, even though I am not sure why the office I use for my employer should be subsidized by the taxpayer. Anyway, I doubt that compensation would be enough to move to ano

I wonder why this aspect seems to be neglected in the whole remote vs. office work discussion: > Yet even now, as office space expands like poison gas into our homes, [...] I am not a big fan of working at an office every day, but I cons

Not sure I missed the sarcasm here. Why would a non-profit not fight spam etc.? Why would a for-profit fight spam do so? I see the largest internet companies, including Facebook, Twitter, and also Google, fight spam and other harmful conten

The point is that self-policing never works. It's not (only) a matter of motivation.

I've been wondering about that story as well. My own conclusion is that the experiment failed because the metric of average speed per passenger is wrong from a passenger's perspective. People who stand probably don't care abo

It's a a pretty big step from "high similarity scores" to concluding that was the reason for failure. High is relative in this context, and the example sentences are arguably more similar to each other than to most other sent

This is exactly the problem of "general purpose" search engines as mentioned by GP. In classic information retrieval theory, a search query is a textual representation of the a user's mental search intent. A search engine&#x2

Personally, I think that asynchronous communication is more efficient is a fallacy. In a verbal, synchronous conversation (a phone call), you can communicate extremely efficiently. Misunderstandings or doubts are detected and clarified inst

I agree with the sentiment that hearing someone's voice creates a connection. However, I do not understand why people use voice messages instead of calling so you can actually talk to each other. Why is that?
