Meh, I like this group of billionaires.

Overtime pay should be normal for everyone that works more than the 8 hours. Being on call is a travesty. Just have shifts like every other industry does.

No, I don’t agree with the trans ideology. I want to make that clear without advocating violence or harassment.

What human rights? Sure killing or harassing cross dressers is abhorrent but otherwise no one has been bothering these people to begin with.

Isn’t social justice a good thing? Isn’t this agenda people trying to be the best they can?

Race in the US is not a “socioeconomic tribe”. You said it yourself, it’s based on physical features. That’s not what a caste is.

Just build free housing for the homeless. Build a large camp style rehab center. If you’re sleeping on the street you get arrested and get a choice to go to one of these two places. These homeless bums are currently provided with housing bu

I didn’t really mention any “inherent” qualities. Just pointed out facts that buttress an argument to increase immigration. The right wing loves to point out cultural discrepancies in minority populations they vilify but apparently pointing

You’re right that it was more of a kshatriya revolt against the Brahmins but the Buddhists welcomed all castes, even the shudras. They did discriminate against anyone that wasn’t a part of the caste hierarchy- dalits.

You’re a foreigner/outsider. You’re not part of the caste system. Brahmins are technically not even permitted to leave India. But if you’re white you would probably be treated very well, just wouldn’t be considered a part of society.

Vast destruction is almost never used because of the consequences and collateral damage. Surgical, cheap attacks would be used on an everyday basis. This is what makes it terrifying. It doesn’t even have to be murder, even surveillance woul

If my needs were taken care of then so many things. An operating system, a productionized AI and LiDAR powered drone/submersible to continuously map every inch of the earth and the oceans, a way to perfect safe total gene replacement e

I can go into great detail on the back and forth between Hinduism and Buddhism, mostly surviving as dueling literature for centuries. I would prefer you just look it up though.

It mostly doesn’t. Historically there have been lots of mass conversions to other religions the first one being Buddhism in 600BC. Buddhism came about primarily as a response to Hindu orthodoxy and the caste system.

If nothing else then because it works. Immigrants have founded 51% of our top 500 billion+ unicorns. Indian entrepreneurs alone account for 66 out of 500. How many jobs is that creating? Millions at the very least. At 1% of the population,

There’s already a 30-50% quota in most public institutions that is very successful at giving lower castes an advantage. No bootstraps required. Will those affirmative actions extend how long the caste system stays around? Probably but they’

Semantics may not be the most helpful during a discussion of this but neither is application of modes/solutions learnt from other forms of bigotry. The best way to kill the caste system is to forget about it which is in the process of

I guess that depends on your definition of racism. Can people from the UK be racist to the Polish? If yes, fine. But technically it’s different from racism and more nationally based bigotry.

Even in the north, someone from Himachal Pradesh is not going to be able to identify someone’s caste in Bihar or West Bengal

Mahindra is the largest producers of tractors by volume in the world. This may be on the company level and not national level https://www.mahindrafarmequipment.com/services/tractors#:~:t... .

It doesn’t work like that. This isn’t like racism where differences are immediately superficially apparent. You need to have conversations bordering on light interrogations to determine who is what.

Historically and culturally the higher castes are more educationally oriented so it wouldn’t be surprising. The caste system is rapidly breaking down but only for about the last generation. I presume it’s going to take time for representati

My google search results now have a section on the top that an LLM generates along with the rest of the results. I don’t think they have to be separate.

Honestly I think this is majorly overblown. Having lived in both India and the US and being in my late 30s, I’ve never seen caste come up in any conversation even once. That’s tens of thousands of Indian people at the very least. Feels like

Too much dependency on a soft enemy?

by soligern 3y ago
That’s step one. Then the other developing companies will need to climb the dependency tree to make more and more of the materials locally. It’s what India did with car manufacturing, eventually building the entire vehicle in country. They

Caste generally doesn’t work very well in urban areas even in India. It’s just that it’s so ingrained in many people they’re just not going to lie about it.

A table is a table though, as long as it’s at the right height. How are the chairs, that’s what really matters.

Why? Lots of people do a lot of reading for a living. Reading a new article is way more interesting than thousands of jobs I can think of. Data analysts and accountants literally pour though millions of featureless numbers over their career
