I am not sure you comprehend the fame and reach of the actors mentioned. They don’t need connections, they are super famous in their own right.
Also note, Amitabh is in his late seventies. I doubt he is interested in connections at his age.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

How do you find pop os compared to Ubuntu?
I’m using ClickUp and happy with it
Which model do you have?
What laptop do you have?
Removing ports. Zero upgrades possible - not even hard disk, memory.
In Apple’s case - repairing is near impossible for an average user. Even the fucking screws are non standard. They charge an arm and a leg for repairs.
Thank you for responding. Is there any particular model that is better off than others, used? My usecase is programming - I don’t game, but I edit videos
Where do you buy? eBay? Is there some other reputable place to buy used ones for a first time buyer?
For how long?
1 hour per day? Wow, that is insane!! In a good way, of course.
How long did it take to reach an hour?
What kind of breakthroughs? How long do the benefits last after the silent period?
Thank you for taking the time to answer
Anyone gone so long on silent retreats? Can you talk about the experience?
The best I’ve used so far. quite pricey, but worth it
What is your preferred distro?
I had the same experience. Windows became noticeably faster without antivirus. Also other problems like not downloading large files disappeared too.
Million pages? What is the site about?
Most importantly, how much do you retain?
I hate dark mode, I thought I was weird. Glad to know there are others who prefer light mode!
Can you suggest some books to learn interesting math topics for someone with just high school understanding of math?
Microsoft is a tech company. Getting bad PR among techies is pretty bad for them. Maybe not as bad as bad PR with general public, still bad...
Is the data scraped? What is the tech stack?
Well, they’re getting bad PR now for screwing the author over ...
What tasks do you do manually in your life/job that is boring? Automate it wherever possible.
Help users of nonprofits understand them better - watsi, Kiva etc share data that can be visualized in a variety of ways.
Teach (blog, video etc) - this is especially effective in topics you already know, but have gaps. Teaching forces you to clear those gaps.
Do exercises from project Euler, Rosetta etc
This seems more in certain cultures than others - American and Japanese from my anecdotal experience. I worked with Europeans (French especially), they don’t seem to wear long hours as a badge of honor.
My American boss regularly feels proud that he puts in 12-14 hour days. In my opinion, that amount of hours makes sense if I am working on my own business or something that truly benefits humanity (like a vaccine for COVID-19 for example). It is hard to do good work more than 6-7 hours per day anyway and much harder to sustain it for long periods of time
A bit off topic - is it worth learning blockchain tech? Is it a viable career? If yes, where should be start - btc, eth..? Or something else?
So what if they don’t know how to hire programmers? All they have to do is hire someone who has had engineering leadership role/experience and let them hire programmers, isn’t it?
Isn’t it easier to verify someone’s leadership credentials than COBOL skills?
Maybe. But there are way too many companies and leaders like this. They expect two week notice when an employee leaves, but have no problem firing people at 5 pm on Friday via email/text whatever.
If you’re renting, just move out and discard as much clothing as possible. I had this issue in an apartment I was renting - I tried everything that I could, as a tenant. Nothing worked. I gave up and moved out, in desperation.
Bedbugs are horrible. They also stink bad.
I didn’t know about the working conditions. Now I know, because they are threatening her and because of this article. Next time I hear about them, I am going to remember this article.
Sometimes it is best to keep quiet, is it not?
Yes, I do understand she got paid for her silence.
