I think the point is that they showed they may sanction you for unpredictable reasons, without justification.

Not sure about that, it looks like overall energy consumption still is almost there times as high in the US compared to the UK: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab... It may be worth to mention

Sorry, I hadn't seen your message. There is a law prohibiting caste-based discrimination. For university admissions there are also quota for low caste, casteless and tribal people, meaning that a certain percentage of places is reserve

Discrimination against lower castes is very real. There are quota to somewhat compensate for this. Maybe you interpreted it as there being quota for each caste?

You are replying to somebody talking about sage (rather than sympy), which in many fields (not all) is very far ahead of Mathematica. I do quite like the programming language of Mathematica, but an advantage of sage (and of sympy) is that y

That is actually 55% more (or three other way around, 35% less)

This sounds great, even a moral obligation! Does anyone know if a similar course of action exists in Spain?

I misunderstood the part of the RSU's: I thought you meant that by the time they vest they will be worth considerably less than $179M, because the stock price has gone down. However if I understood you correctly now, these will be wort

Not sure that I'm right, but I have the impression that for companies that are strongly driven by "shareholder vale" (like Intel as it appears), if before the pay cut it is thought that cutting jobs would give a net benefit (

Your comment only says that it was mostly in RSU, and since the stock had been going down it will likely be worth 1/3 by the time it vests. Even so, 25% of 1.1m is pretty much negligible, certainly compared with the 5% normal employee

Do the multispectral images cover (part of) the infrared range? That might allow to detect heat loss through the roof

Just a side remark, but "most philosophers are white" should probably be "most philosophers you heard about"

Wouldn't it be possible to design an open source license that obliges bugs to be reported when used commercially? Maybe hard to enforce in practice, but it would protect about this kind of situations.
