  • If you have chances of reward then yes. But current situation seems to be really bad. They don’t really value the workers as much as they used to. And you can’t easily leave your current job even when it’s bad. Having most of the population in debt (car+home+college) has removed most of the freedom of the workforce from choosing to work somewhere else.

    Because in my opinion only when you can chose to not work and stay at home for a few months to look for other jobs, that you have a freedom of choice. Otherwise you have to just jump into whatever job you can find because you can get faster.






  • Well according to a doctor, since lot of people are not talking vaccine now, polio is coming back and the government has added polio vaccine as one of the requirements last year for people. I had to take adult polio vaccine because I didn’t have records that I took it as a child (which I didn’t think would need because it was compulsory for children when I was little).


  • Not an expert but I think ultra processed food has two main aspects, one is additives and preservatives. And the other is our body doesn’t need to process it as much to digest it. If you eta rice/bread your body has to break that carbohydrates into glucose which takes energy. Now if you directly take suger/glucose then eating the same calories would be a lot more plus calories since your body doesn’t need to work hard to process it. Furthermore it has more pure calories per same weight, so you end up consuming more to feel full compared to eating something not as calories dense.






  • Pretend to work, or were incompetent.

    Similar things happened to me too. Could finish day’s work in an hour. It was a small company, didn’t have extra work they could give me, didn’t like I was idle most of the time since we had co-working space. And didn’t increase my salary even through they said they’d increase based on performance on provisional period.

    They finally increased salary after 9months (said they’d do it in 3-6), and it was nominally higher like everyone else. Resigned the next day. When I went back few months back to get something every face was new one except the upper management and their family.

    So basically they count on people to leave in a year or two, so they can hire other batch of fresh graduates in low salary again.


  • Yeah I think it’s the money issue. The companies have more money making self driving cars. Specially since the incremental advancements make them more money on every new car sell.

    While trains don’t have incremental advancements with sells associated with them. They have less training and incentives. But technology wise it is definitely easier to control speed 1D, while mostly looking at the front (maybe back) compared to the degree of control/sensors cars need.
