I don't know about India, but it really is the case in less-developed countries. The sluggishness of the legal system is a catalyst to corruption - so anyone can do anything, and suing is useless because the case won't even be h

Go (AKA Golang) has been famous for its portability. The docs seem to indicate Go has had AIX support since version 1.12 [0]. I haven't used it personally, though, so I don't know how good it is. [0] https://go.dev&#x2F

Because it's much easier to implement a set of concrete guidelines (have a daily meeting, use story points, etc) and turn them intro strict rules, than to implement the more fundamental but less concrete guidelines (individuals and int

It might not be helpful to the individual, but it provides a useful guideline for society - everyone is capable of doing great stuff, as long as the means for doing so are provided. I'd bet my life on this - if every homeless person wa

Here's what I figure: Whatever thing we're talking about, be it online media or TV shows or an activity or whatever, there's a thin line between "fun" and "addictive" - in order for anything to be "ad

> Project management would benefit by bringing concepts from operating systems such as scheduling or task switching. I agree. Perhaps this is a good time for a Free Software organizational tool, built on such principles.

I feel some negativity from this question, but I will disregard those feelings as unfounded and try to answer in the best faith possible. No, I have not considered trying it out, for a simple reason - I don't control any organization n

The "event-based" paradigm is a useful way to orchestrate software. I wonder why it's not used to orchestrate people. A rule of thumb would be "every meeting must have a reason - an event that lead to it". Why do we

This rigidity of computers is exactly why we must not let them control society. Society is responsible for each and every member of it. Having 0.001% of population's lives ruined because of an error is not acceptable . Humans may

The main pattern is trying to construct a false dichotomy, implying that, if you don't do what they want, you're a horrible person in some way - and forcing you to basically say "yes I'm a bad person" in order no

Honestly, just pay someone else to do it. Some people are naturally better at communication than others, and they will definitely do a better job. Unless you want to learn how to deal with emotions for the sake of personal growth. In that c

Subscription services, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of a disposable society. Everything is ephemereal, nothing lasts, and people are dependent on their corporate overlords to bring "updates", which are often nothing more than a

In a way, yes. However, we need to know what we mean by "manipulation" here. Manipulation, in colloquial usage, refers to the act of deceiving others, and often causing harm, in order to achieve some selfish desire. In general, &q

Exactly. And the real problem is the way humans decide sentience in the first place - by how much the machinery acts as if it were sentient. There is no other information - just our perception. If we imagine two agents, A and B, one senti
