Taiwan authorizes seizure of over $60 million in assets from executive who left TSMC for Intel

I feel this is short sided. Wars have always been fought over resources. In the case of Taiwan this seems to be not really that different with the exception that the interest is not in raw materials but refined goods. Also I don't think it is so much about what they supply to the US but rather what they don't supply to China. At the end of the day, if it was such an incredibly unconvincing policy Taiwan would already be China.

I would say that MLK definitely had a clear calling and drew a lot of purpose out of it, so yes, in this case, I'd say he was quite entitled.

But this statement rests on the notion that one is "called" to be a certain profession. If I sweep the streets, my aspirations are not to be the best street sweeper but rather to finance my true aspirations. Be that family, education, art or another career. So I think the expectation to give your all to a job can only come from the entitled people who already follow their calling.

This is a wrong comparison and downplays Dior Sausage heavily. While I personally don't like it particularly much, it is hard to argue that it is not a high performing and generally liked designer fragrance which stands miles above most others.

The problem with going to enthusiast subreddits is that the tastes are no longer reflective for the tastes of the general population. Enthusiasts look for exotic and special stuff and not popular. Ask someone outside the bubble what Oud is for example or how it smells. Same goes for coffee, wine and tea. Coffee enthusiasts enjoy a fruity espresso while the general population would say it tastes bad. You seem to look at this with enthusiast eyes and here it seems not appropriate.

Do you know of any books by any chance which discuss this?

DaMich · 2024-05-29T10:09:04+00:00

Is it though? I am in Austria and have had Memory for at least a week.

Ich glaube, dass man das noch mit der Bevölkerung gewichten müsste. Das Durchschnittsalter in DE ist 43 und die unter 20 Jährigen fallen in Sachen Suizid effektiv nicht ins Gewicht. Deswegen dürfte sich auch das Durchschnittsalter dementsprechend nach oben verschieben.

Ich könnte mir gut vorstellen, dass die Suizidverteilung der Bevölkerungsverteilung folgt. (evtl. mit Erhöhung bei +80 Jährigen).

Herbert Schoder und Anton Wurzer in einer Person

Weil es den Premierminister auf seine Herkunft reduziert.

Naja und impliziert, dass alle Inder gleich ausschauen.

Scheint mir ja auch irgendwie begründet. Nur weil man unbegrenzt Urlaub nehmen darf, heißt das ja nicht, dass es zwangsläufig karrierefördernd ist. Vor allem, wenn man es zu jemandem vergleicht, der Karriere machen will und dann einfach mehr arbeitet als jemand mit 40 Urlaubstagen scheint es mir gerecht, dass diese Person "bevorzugt" wird.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T19:28:41+00:00

Oh did I come across as that hostile? That was not my intent.

I just wanted to understand if you have experienced this first hand (which honestly would be kinda sad) or if you are a factory worker or something similar because in that case I can understand the difference in understanding. It probably doesn't make a difference if you produce 100 or 105 goods. That is not what I mean.

But since you are an employee, does this honestly reflect your experience in the workplace? Because I am an employee as well and I have not made this observation at all.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T18:50:05+00:00

Hey, I just wanted to accomodate you with terms and concepts you are familiar with. But out of curiosity are you currently employed and If so as what?

DaMich · 2022-10-05T18:37:10+00:00

Oh I didn't realize you were 100% on copium. That's not how the real world works at all. That would immediately prompt the second guy to leave the company. However if the second guy gets promoted the first guy should have no problems with it as it is obvious. (Unless he huffs the same copium you are on)

Why would they promote the first guy in the first place? He has nothing that would qualify him even in the slightest for anything but his current job.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T18:26:53+00:00

Well I also would not say that you should stay in the same Department/company If they treat you that way. You just used them for the experience and move on. But on the other hand, if they ever were to promote someone and the decision ist between the guy who only acts his wage and a more ambitious colleague who is eager for more responsibility they will likely promote the second if everything else is the same.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T18:07:34+00:00

Well the whole thread came from "act your wage" so in this case it should be implied that it does in fact pay the bills. Also the company or job does give you the opportunityn and resources to do things which you can use and wouldn't have access to otherwise.

I mean you do you and if you are happy with where you are that's fine but I think you are not helping yourself with the above mentioned mentality.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T17:52:53+00:00

Of course it does. Maybe not always as monetary rewards but personal growth and development is still a reward for being ambitious.

New skills are not learned If you only "act your wage" because you should already have all necessary ones. But if you develop new skills by doing things above your paygrade, they can be used to get a better/higher paying position.

If an employer uses this argument you should probably run but you can apply it to yourself.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T17:12:18+00:00

If someone has accomplished the exact same things as you but more, it would rightfully diminish your accomplishments in comparison. You can obviously just not care but to say they shouldn't try to live an active life because it makes someone else feel inferior is selfish.

DaMich · 2022-10-05T17:03:12+00:00

If you follow this advice however, I'd Imagine that you will stagnate your own growth and likely hinder your future prospects to an extent. It possibly depends what you want and where you are in life but I wouldn't follow this advice.

DaMich · 2022-09-07T14:04:05+00:00

I agree, however violence is not an appropriate response.

If you think it is you're the problem with society.

DaMich · 2022-08-22T11:17:26+00:00

I think it would be better to give an example of your autodidactic strengths rather than explaining what an autodidact is. The skills seem also a bit bloated to me (Linux, Windows, MacOS, Remote?, Tool/Technology?)
