I've worked remote very often and ive always felt that the current open plan offices are way too much of a distraction to get work done. This is the right change and remote working needs this change to happen despite the whining by the usual suspects of people sitting in office until late for no other reason than pleasing their bosses.

Hopefully, the focus will no move to tangible results being delivered than what dress you wear and how much time you spend at office.

Again, the above view is the government line and is meant to misguide and create ambiguity. Read the CAA in combination with the NRC to understand how it is similar to the Nuremberg laws.

This thread has a lot of government propaganda shills.

Some of you guys are actively flagging my post to support the government disinformation and propaganda on this thread.

Let me repeat: The NRC and CAA need to be read together. When read together you understand how close it is to the Nuremberg laws.

The current Indian government has nothing to offer and is a repressive regime baring its fangs. Companies should be advised to stay clear of the region for a while.

It will become applicable to you or your relatives after the NRC.

Maybe revolting withing detention camps isn't a good idea?

Your comment is disingenuous and obfuscates the logic of the issue.

The combo of the NRC+CAA ensures that Indians without papers are liable to be in internment camps. If you don't have papers, you are declared an illegal. There are a lot of Indians who don't have formal documentation. There is also a lot of corruption that makes it possible for officials to reject formal documents. You then get declared illegal.

Once in an internment camp, you cant go anyplace else. If you are a muslim, you don't have the option of getting out of the camp at all. if you are a poor Indian or a dissenter of any sort, you will face the same logic and all documents you produce will be deemed unfit.

A single internment camp costs 40Crores to make. To house just the northeast's so called illegals, you need close to 25K crores. This is a government that has just recently said no to primary education budgets for lack of cash. You think they have the budgets for large scale concentration camps? No. They are building up for a pogrom.

This is straight up Nazi policy.

The other question I keep asking is how is this a legitimate government if all the voters themselves have been designated illegal/noncitizens by default?

Last question and a prediction, why is the government transferring the workload of proving citizenship on to the population? This is to make people protest. Given enough protests, they will flip the policy to say, "hear hear, no, we will find the illegals for you, no need to stand in queues." Once they do that, they will form squads and informers like in Nazi Germany and hunt down the "unwanted."

Well, you have been notified with the CAA.

You cant just wake up one day and suddenly proclaim everyone a non citizen. In that case this is a non-government having been elected by non-citizens! Right?

Well, in every other place in the world, the government doesn't wake up one day and ask citizens to prove they are Citizens.

This is what happens if you elect bombastic incapable governments. The government doesn't realize that by their own logic they aren't elected by citizens anymore. By their own logic, they need to hold elections again I guess.

It is not the citizen's responsibility to prove he is a citizen, it is the government's responsibility to prove that he isn't.

Guilty until proven innocent? How is that fair?

Would be interested as well.

You don't get non-smart/dumb TVs that easily anymore.

Why change something that's working well? For profit, that's why. The author is either dumb or invested.

Any other SBCs that can drive a high res display @60hz just for normal computing purposes? No gaming/video encoding use cases.

I think Apple's primary demographic now is people sitting in Starbucks.

Flight characteristics of some of the observed craft seem to suggest otherwise. Trained observers as well.

The atomisation of the workforce. It's easier to manage individuals than a group that negotiates. The loss of tribes is probably the biggest change since the advent of modern manufacturing. The ideal end state would be robots that cooperate for goals and don't negotiate?

Between pihole, firefox and addons, I see no ads. The way the ad industry is going, they will at some point prevent people from blinking.

A big thank you to the developers at pihole, mozilla and the plugin devs.

Google needs to print expiry dates on its products before launching.

It also means your blocking of google's trackers is better than average.

Every time the basics seem set, a bunch of rent seeking overlords arrive to destabilize everything. Verisign shouldn't have this power and should be penalized for trying this trick. They shouldn't be in a position to bottleneck basic internet infrastructural elements and in the spirit of the internet, we need alternatives to Verisign setup ASAP. A counter proposal is in order.

Reminds me of my funny notes in a childhood diary. I had a personal pet theory that Dinosaurs were so huge because they were not as heavy as we assumed them to be. Imagining what it felt like to be a dino was a steady staple for boring afternoons.

The amount of problems I have with the SD card on the raspberry pi is crazy. The thing is never stable.

Site breaks back button.

Anyone else use a paper notebook and writing long form? I somehow feel that it helps with recall/refresh better than a lot of the wikis Ive tried out? A lot of the times, one look at the page brings backs a photographic memory of the context under which those notes were made. Type/electronic note taking doesn't seem to cut it for me.

You forgot to mention the fact that BSNL injects malware and ads. And outrageously, they claim it is a feature! The way they do it by injecting javascript into your page that then does shitty pop-up scam ads (including ones that increase page counts for some pretty big e-com sites). Some of the pop-up/under ads then install malware of their own.

The entire company is run by morons.

While people say the CIA invested in woo woo, I believe science progresses this way. Reported edge cases of established theories need to be checked, validated and proved/disproved before moving on to modifying the theory or dumping the case as woo.

As scientists we should not be pre-disposed to shutdown things we do not understand without putting said phenomena through a testing phase.

Waiting for insurance providers to deny payments basis this data next.

Filter bubble intensifies.

Hey, another fan of your site. Thanks for simplicity of your site!
