Yeah, I didn't get that comment either. Countries like South Korea are economically dependent on China.

I hope we can have more nuanced discussions on these topics.

It's definitely possible that there were other factors in play. I hope you see the danger or irony of automatically assuming that the Japanese interviewer rejected you because of their racial bias.

I think it's fair to say that the caste system is greatly influenced by the flavor of reincarnation in hinduism and vice versa. the buddha himself set out to seek enlightenment and free himself from suffering when he saw that so many p

The article mentions there were hundreds of people who joined a Zoom call to give testimonies. In your view, is the author exaggerating?

I am not from India but I would like to be connected to these groups. Any idea how I can reach out? edit: I guess this is as good as it gets https://ambedkarinternationalcenter.org/join-the-mission/aic...

Wow, thank you so much for writing out and sharing your story. >I would be curious to hear more about how this experience affected that for the author. I think you and I have a lot of similarities on this regard. I also learned later in

Thank you for sharing and I think your opinion is certainly valid and it would create more trust if everyone shares your principles. I was just trying to convey this idea that they are there because they serve a need. If we want to imagine

I intend to write a personal take on this topic as well. I am not a CS grad, but I definitely know CS grads who struggled to find work after college. One went to a bootcamp and still couldn't find a job. In my view, we tend to focus on

Author here. I wrote this post after my comment on the post you're mentioning was rather well received. People asked me to write about that experience in more detail, so I did and shared it here. It's a related story, not an ident

Ads targeting kids and teens actually tend to do very well. There's an entire side of youtube where kids review their new (sponsored) toys. Parents get immensely pressured when they feel their kids are getting left out.

I feel a bit dumb because I can't figure out how to use this on my m1 mac. I installed the package, edited the configuration file to include some of the public peers, and tried to click on some yggdrasil links on the website. It keeps

I was actually rather fascinated by it too, so once I figured out what was going on, I started meeting people in the company specifically to ask them about their experiences. I probably have my notes saved on some USB drive somewhere rottin

Plenty of more legit companies, including big tech, have training periods for new hires. It's not something to be worried about in and of itself, though it's always a good idea to do your research when your gut says something is o

I also had to sign a document saying I would end up owing the company money if I left without completing their "training" and/or basically trying my best to get placed. FWIW, I told them it would be difficult as a fresh grad

Practices like this are hilariously common in the industry. Right out of college I accepted a job offer at a small consulting company on the east coast. They promised they would give me free housing at their luxury apartment for the first f

I agree that it would be difficult to implement these practices at once. But the core idea, that all people have the right to organize in a way that leads to sustainable happiness, can be implemented in small chunks in many different, less

Thank you for sharing. I personally view "violent criminals" as regular human beings and believe we should stop classifying people as violent criminals the moment they no longer pose significant danger to others. But maybe you&#x2

I think the key difference is I'm focusing on allowing people to live with others they can synergize well with. I oppose the focus on punishing (torturing) criminals. I do not believe we should permanently exile all violent criminals i

I believe we should focus on separating criminals from non-criminals instead of punishing and torturing them. Give them an environment where they can thrive without being harmful to themselves and others. Let them re-join the society ONLY w

One of my side project ideas is to implement something like this for money. That way individuals and groups can be more transparent about how they spend money.

I practice Seon Buddhism but don't consider myself a religious person. To me, the essence of Buddhism is seeing the world with clarity. And when you see the world with clarity, you realize there's no reason to live life of greed,

Is there an article I can read to understand the reasoning behind not booking anyone for non-violent crime? I'm looking to understand the nuances of the issue instead of taking a political side.

Perhaps I could've been more precise with my words. What I meant to say is IAM and r53 are two of many critical services that all depend on us-east-1. It goes without saying that if those services go down in us-east-1, the whole AWS is

AWS itself has a huge single point of failure on us-east-1 region. Usually, if us-east-1 goes down, others soon follow. At that point, it doesn't matter how many regions you're deploying to.
