10 RCTs... fuck!

How about Estonia? The government seems very pro startup

I don't know about your experience.

But mine has been different,

Whenever I have tried to take any action for improving in the community - like garbage segregation etc., many were supportive, of course there were couple of cynical dissidents.

Similarly asking for help for any charitable cause, support has been always there.

But the problem is with public commons- try cleaning up the street, or the railway cabin after journey etc., you will be ignored or even mocked.

That I think is because Indians largely no more have any sense of public ownership of the "commons".

That is strange, because reading Hindu history, the villages were actually highly autonomous and rarely did the the big govt. king etc., had to interfere in civic administration. People ran their own schools, hospitals, took care of waterbodies, roads etc.,

So what changed - the only thing I can think of is "socialism", which tends to concentrate all powers and therefore all responsibilities with the state, and then fails to execute. The people are so used to the "maai-baap" sarkar that they no more take any ownership beyond their own families/private spaces.

And 2 incidents come to mind.

1. When someone tried to gather help to clean up a littered railway compartment after a journey, he was mocked and said why should they, when their ticket cost covers the employment of cleaners.

2. When a large firm sick of the bad road outside their fancy premises, offered to fix the road at their own cost. The local corporator said sure, but still they have to give him his corruption cut which he would have got through public works contract bidding.

Much of our day to day problems are related to local governance and we have no idea how that works, We will blame the PM, the CM, the MP and the MLA - but these people are representing millions of people and large areas. Even an MLA represents an average of 2 lakhs. They can deal only with big projects or high value/high exposure policies.

But local governance is not cared about and that is where much of corruption, inefficiency lies. Even aside of corruption, socialistic tendencies do not empower individuals to take interests in these things, it will interfere with some sarkari babu and neta.

So anybody trying to take some interest in common civic amenities, has 2 fold challenge, one to fight the socialistic system and then the apathy of the public.

Easier to do private projects in charity or with community.

In fight or flight situations I tend to freeze.

I want to fight; especially for my kids who are teenagers. I'm worried they could be caught up or drafted into a (seemingly inevitable) civil war. I'm worried about who they love. How do I overcome my fears and fight for them when I'm afraid that these riled up MAGA could do us real harm and I'd no longer be there to protect them? My husband is wonderful but I have to push him to engage more and understand the states and how it impacts our kids. I think a lot of us probably have surprised pikachu face from SO much happening all at once that I'm overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start.

Interesting. Do small things instead of just complaining.

I am an Indian living in the USA. I visited Chennai a few weeks back and encountered the well known trash and dirt everywhere. Here in the US, I volunteer and maintain a small stretch of hiking trail. It needs a little trash pick up and light pruning once in 2 weeks.

This made me think - how about a volunteer group that cleans up select places that would have the biggest impact - say Marina beach. It can be students, or young professionals (open to anyone of course). Can be done once a week or so. It will be a good way to meet people, do some good and be active in the community. I am also sure it will be received well.

Are there any such groups? Startup groups and all are fine, but how about just taking care of stuff around us? And doing small things instead of just complaining.

Thanks OP for bringing this up!

Does it? It would be interesting if there were ways to figure out where price was going before the news broke. What would that mean?

Hi

We all know Donnie is the girl in that relationship.

It's more of an internet joke, not an actual obsession

Starting a company is hard enough. Moving to a new country & then starting a company? Never seen that work. If you're young maybe you can do a Master's in a country you like, get settled, build a network & go from there. Otherwise I'd say, first take a job in the country of your interest. Answering your question:

Government funding will be pretty limited. Stick to Western Europe for investors. Every major city will have accelerator programs but don't expect US scale. Tax benefits and low bureacracy system that is easy to navigate: Estonia, Netherlands, Sweden. However, London would be the most logical place to go for a US citizen.

In old city we don't need to pay power bill 👌🏼😂😂😂👌🏼 best in world free electricity

I generally agree with the sentiment expressed by this cartoon. But what's the alternative? His back up choices would be much worse (which actually is possible). (EDIT statement for clarity)

Whatever Google has been doing has been radical and hasn't been great for user experience, I've seen users in multiple subreddits complaining about ranking reddit and forums everywhere, even where it isn't relevant to the search query

Who wants to see a forum post when searching for a plumber? It's complete nonsense the only reason they're getting away with it is because they have a monopoly

With the recent 8% drop for Google parent Alphabet, which erased as much as $211 billion in market value their actions are starting to hurt them

Yes ranking affiliate sites wasn't the best search experience either but this forum and reddit nonsense needs to go or at least scaled back, in it's current form it's too extreme

I just went to my living room and noticed that one of the windows was open. For a moment, I panicked, thinking there was a gas leak. Then I remembered I don’t even have a gas cylinder, I have a pipeline connection. As soon as I stepped onto my balcony, the stench hit me. It’s unbearable. This isn’t just unpleasant it’s beyond toxic. Breathing this in every day is a real health hazard, and now I’m genuinely concerned. I’ll do everything in my power to escalate this, including taking it to the PMO.
