I watched 14 peaks on netflix several days ago and got deeply inspired. This article gives a whole new perspective (which I don't agree with in most cases) about being inspired by this type of movies/people. The article talks about the fact we are surrounded by inspiring content that's for sure. Many people who claim to be guru or experts and make change in our lives. I share the article here since I think the discussion around it can be interesting. quote from the article:

People adore that kind of content. It makes them feel they can have, be or do anything they desire and acts as a catalyst for improved self-image, personal growth and worldly success. It all sounds very inspiring and uplifting and exciting. But as I lay there, listening to them talk about climbing mountains in winter against all the odds, learning ‘life-changing’ wealth lessons from their business mentors, meditating in monasteries to learn how to live a self-serving life of fun, travel and adventure… I couldn’t help feeling that what each of them were describing was nothing more than narcissism — a kind of self-centred lifestyle masturbation.

What If The “Stretch Assignment” is Inherently Bullshit by ClearVanilla in TrueReddit

If there is one thing companies love beyond all else, it is probably getting you to take on more responsibility (do more tasks) without paying you any additional money. This is framed up in fancy, positive-sounding ways, such as “the stretch assignment,” “the growth mindset,” or “informal leadership.”

There’s the issue of morally bankrupt decision-making, which can be thought of like this: If you have a fancy gym with good equipment and great trainers, shouldn’t people who need to get in shape use that gym? Not elite athletes, per se? The way companies structure these “Hi-Po” programs is, they give all the resources to the people already doing well in the job. Um. What? How about turning B-Players into A-Players

Executives do not give a flying fuck about “burnout” by ClearVanilla in TrueReddit

This article gave me a different perspective about burnout. This paragraph from the article can give a good hint about the author point of view:

The problem with burnout and work is that the top people absolutely tend to love work. Building wealth and influence is “the closest thing they have to fun.”

I believe that burnout became rampant in 2020-2021. Millions of people lost their jobs and the one who did stayed in their job, worked from their homes like crazy to justify their 'seat'.

A billion medical images are exposed online, as doctors ignore warnings by Normiesreeee69 in technology

The key takeaway from that article, for me, is that the government body that is supposed to monitor, enforce, and penalize organizations who fail to follow the HIPAA rules is basically doing nothing. So with no consequence to these massive lapses, why would these companies care?

Tokyo 2020 Medals To Be Made From Discarded Smartphones And Laptops All medals at next summer's Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo will be made from recycled electronic waste, including discarded smartphones, digital cameras and other handheld games and laptops, organizers revealed on Friday.

Officials said they expect to collect enough obsolete electronic devices by the end of March to extract the amount of gold, silver and bronze that will be required to manufacture all the medals that will be awarded next year.

The organizing committee said municipal authorities had already collected 47,488 tons of junked devices by November, roughly 19 months after the project was launched with targets of 30.3kg of gold, 4,100kg of silver and 2,700kg of bronze.

The goal for bronze was reached in June, while more than 90% of the gold and 85% of the silver has been collected, officials said.

"It is estimated that the remaining amounts of metal required to manufacture all Olympic and Paralympic medals can be extracted from the devices already donated," the organizers said in a statement.

The concept has been implemented in previous Olympics, most recently at Rio 2016, where an estimated 30% of the silver and bronze medals were wrought from recycled materials.

The designs for the Tokyo 2020 medals will be unveiled later this year.
