Can you have empathy for… - those who lack empathy? - those who declare some lives less valuable than others? - those who don’t care enough to stick their necks out to stand up for what’s right unless it affects them very directly?

I agree with your comment, and I would like to build on something you said: > resist buying into the impoverished ideas of the world you were born into. Instead of “resist”, I might instead say, “see clearly” or “recognise” that these co

Help me understand how being starved for food is analogous to having OS version names that don’t reflect the order of OS releases.

It’s not obvious to me that the train pulling away was the point here. It is merely a meditation on the fact that machines are “absolutely incorruptible”, so if we’re talking about the same thing, it is a tangential fact if some human did o

When one asks a question in the format, “Are you pretending that [obvious problem] isn’t an ethical problem?”, it makes me wonder if that person is really interested in understanding or is just interested in accusing someone else and pickin

Also see Quake 3 JS! http://www.quakejs.com/ I found no flaws. Just as fun as the original. And as a mac user, being able to play this after all those chip transitions is a blessing.

There is a cost to making features discoverable. The cost is visual complexity. Apple can present only one UI to every first time user. They need to make hard choices about what to keep and what to remove so that the most non-technical user

I think the fact that this post was downvoted speaks a lot. Sorry bud. I, too, am a fan and believe that not many do it the way Apple does.

Instead of assuming that the team gets only 70% of the fee, why not assume that they charge 100% of what they want, and then tack on the 30% that Apple is demanding? That way, the team is getting paid reasonably.

I am one of them. I speak a language that is not widely prevalent in my multi-lingual country. I never grew up around people who spoke it (except family members). My command over that language is poor, but my English is excellent. I speak i

I agree with the other poster. It’s not relatable. No offence to the minorities. It feels like forced messaging to the rest of us. Why represent only minorities in race, ethnicity and sexuality? Why not represent people such as war widows,

I am sorry to hear that you have a need to see stories where the helper is also a beneficiary as being romanticised and not “real”. In my opinion, the acts being “self-serving” doesn’t stop them from being kind. Kindness is enlightened self

I got rejected by my dream company a few weeks ago. Seeing the rejection letter first thing that morning crushed me. I was at a friend’s place that morning and I excused myself to go home in the afternoon. They understood that I needed time

Perhaps if something doesn’t make sense, ask for clarity instead of asserting that changing one’s surname makes zero difference. I am also familiar with many upper-caste people who have changed their surname to something generic (like Kumar

It’s one thing to state your values and non-negotiables, and it’s another to seem arrogant and sanctimonious about it. To me, your comment appears to be firmly in the latter. If that truly is the case, hope you figure out what you are resen

Apples and oranges. Everyone’s job has their unique stresses. Trying to compare is folly.

Is it not possible that the person did not take it personally? What is getting angry, if not taking things personally?

Yes, it certainly is orchestrated but not necessarily consciously. Any business looks for results. Media companies will do whatever brings in results. What brings in results? Sowing discord and division because that’s what keeps people comi

That’s how some people connect, my friend. A good-faith way to look at it would be to see it is this way - sometimes, things bother us and we don’t feel like telling other people about them because we don’t want to bother them. When this pe

Thanks for your perspective. I have been burning out job after job and could never tell why. It’s like my mind was excited but my body could not go on.

As I near the entry into my 30s, I begin to see this more and more clearly. I used to be EXCITED about my job, about a project, about a task. It also made me very stressed and made me take things personally when they didn’t go according to
