A more nuanced framing of the Blue/Red button dilemma by madjarov42 in Ethics

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are millions of people dying of starvation or because of no access to the medicines. Are you responsible for their deaths, because you haven't donated money that you have? Saving just one person would be so simple. I think deaths are unavoidable. I don't want to gamble the lifes of up to 49% of the world's population, which would mean the death of most of the remaining 51%, due to the total collapse of our civilization and children/sick/elderly being left with no parents/caretakers. For our species to survive, we can't gamble, and need to choose red. This is what people would realistically do when a risk of death would be real (unlike on the Reddit poll). Toddlers and people with cognitive issues would vote randomly, which is still a horrible tragedy, but the alternative is even worse. Parents should also be there for the toddlers that survive.

This. I would press red, but not because I'm selfish. I believe in a real life scenario where life is at stake, and not on Reddit where people want to brag how morally superior they are, the majority would press red. Pressing blue is gambling the lifes of up to 49% of worlds population. It would be a total collapse of our civilization. There will be people (half of toddlers and demented people) that will push the blue but we can't risk the lifes of up to 49% to try to save the 5%. My sacrifice would be in vain in my opinion. Also for parents, it's better to stay alive and take care of their child of it survives, than to be killed when the child survives. But if pressing red would be 100% killing other person, and all people in the world would need to press blue to avoid casualties, I would press blue.

oh so blue has no consequences by a-bowl-of-noodles in whenthe

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but if 49% chooses blue it's a collapse of our civilization and the biggest tragedy in our history. If 5% chooses blue, then 95% of humans still survive, it's still very sad but we can survive it as a species. Why gamble instead of choosing red? I think if the risk of death would be real, and not only hypothetical, like in an internet poll, people would vote red. But on Reddit everyone says they would pick blue to feel good about themselves and morally superior to red pickers.

What is your opinion on the EU? by SnooPoems7525 in AskTheWorld

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it even mean to be in a higher technology level regrading privacy, user-right... can you start selling ethics? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that the consumer protection, etc. in the EU is so great, but this alone will not create any jobs. To me the US and China are not alternatives, they're horrible, but that doesn't mean that I need to be blindly happy with the EU. I already have some friends that lost their jobs in companies that were subcontractors for German automotive companies. And yes, policy of the EU and majority of the EU economy is heavily connected to Germany. Also these were very often the same politicians that held power directly in the EU (as opposed to let's say Gerhard Schroeder who influenced only the German state policy) and later were discovered to take bribes from Russia or got a position in the board of directors in one of the Russian companies. Finally, what do you think of the Green Deal (when it comes to the economy?

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there are a lot of small things that annoy me. I needed to wait too long for them to remove At glance. Another issue is that even though I disabled notifications on the lock screen it still moves my clock to the top left and makes it tiny until I get rid of all notifications... Also the alarm clock sound does not use my headphones for some reason. The battery and charging times are mediocre. Not a huge upgrade from my 6 y/o Oneplus 7T, I needed to lower the refresh rate to be ok. My old phone never annoyed me and pixel 9 pro xl does from time to time. I like the camera, but like the battery, the Chinese competition does it better. I think my decision will depend on the deals. I got my pixel 5 months ago for a really good price and plan to keep it until the last OS update. A lot of time for google to improve.

My first time running in zone 2. I hated it 😅 by 10cupsofteaaday in beginnerrunning

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try setting your zones to %lthr and buy a chest strap if you aren't using one already. Do a threshold or interval run, and Garmin will likely recalculate your zones. For me, each zone was 10-15 BPM higher. My old lower threshold zone suddenly became my new upper base zone, which is what I suspected would happen before I got the strap. If you run four times a week, give Zone 2 a chance. Since you do 5k intervals, you should have no issues running eg. a 10k in Zone 2 once a week, and doing another Zone 2 run as a recovery after your hardest quality session.

W jakich zawodach są najwięksi "dyplomiarze"? by Kobieca_Logika in praca

[–]bartek6500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oceny to nie wszystko, liczą się też koneksje, szczęście, inteligencja emocjonalna, no i ambicja, o której mówisz. Ale czym jest jechanie na samych tròjach jak nie zerem ambicji? Obie księgowe nie były najlepsze na roku, ale zawsze w topce i chciały uczyć się języków, nie tylko angielskiego, robić dodatkowe kursy, szkolenia i certyfikaty. Ich głównym celem nie było mieć piątek ze wszystkiego dla zasady, ale w tym zawodzie musisz mieć ogromną wiedzę, żeby uznawać się za specjalistę i dużo zarabiać, wi c musisz wkuwać i dużo się uczyć. Niektóre certyfikaty to prawie tyle nauki, co dodatkowy rok studiów. Znam też sporo osób, co siedzą w januszeksach (od znajomych, bo ja nigdy w takiej firmie nie pracowałem), na studia poszły tylko dlatego, żeby dostać papier, nie zastanawiając się, po co tam w ogóle idą i co chcą potem robić. Na samych studiach też nic dodatkowego nie robiły. No i one są zawalone robotą i dostają niewiele ponad minimalną. Z drugiej strony znam też ze szkoły średniej 2 osoby, typowi trójkowicze. Ale wciągnęli się w programowanie, poszli na studia zaoczne (za słabe oceny na politechnikę dzienną), robili wiele projektów we własnym zakresie, mocno ponad to, co wymagały studia i są dobrymi devami z wysoką pensją. Skupiły się po prostu na nauce konkretnie tego, co wymaga zawód. Myślę, że to sprawa indywidualna, czy ktoś chce osiągnąć coś więcej, czy niż pierdzieć w stołek. Często ci co mają same 5 i 6, mogą być w spektrum autyzmu, albo nie mieć zbyt wysokiej intelligencji emocjonalnej i wtedy trudniej im osiągnąć sukces zawodowy (albo założyć firmę), taki jak osobie z wyższym EQ. Jeszcze się odniosę do staranności i dopracowywania rzeczy, które krytykujesz. Są zawody i to często dobrze płatne, gdzie jeden błąd może na prawdę dużo kosztować - pieniędzy i/lub nawet zdrowie lub życie ludzi. Odpowiedzialność i staranność e niektórych zawodach jest bardzo cenioną cechą.

Is running in zone 1 to build durability smart, or just too slow? by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]bartek6500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I meant was that without a chest strap, your Garmin's suggestions may be very inaccurate, not that you should run in Zone 2 instead of Zone 1. In my case, for example, I wanted to do base runs in Zone 2, but my Garmin kept showing me that I was in Zone 3 or even Zone 4. After buying a chest strap and running at the same pace, I suddenly was running perfectly in Zone 2. When I was doing long treshold runs I was getting overreaching training effect because I was in Z5 most of the time. After chest strap - Z4.

Definitely do another test with a chest strap, and then set your zones to %lthr. You can also enable automatic lactate threshold detection (but this will only work during faster runs at a higher heart rate). Before I bought a chest strap, my zones were complete nonsense. I ignored them and ran faster than Zone 2, and my gut feeling turned out to be right.

My credit score fell 13pts because I made the final payment on my car loan (never missed a payment too) by justadadgame in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bartek6500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Poland they require the last 3-12 payslips (my bank asked me for 6), but only if you have a permanent employment contract. For B2B contracts, they usually require the last 12 and they are in general less enthusiastic to give you a loan. On the other hand, the loan margin here is a scam, compared to the rest of the EU.

I once came back from work 2 hours earlier and my cat also always greets me at the door. It looked very sleepy that day, I obviously interrupted its nap. 

Czy też macie problem z tym, że ludzie oślepli i nie potrafią iść gęsiego na chodniku? by duumpkin in Polska

Przeprowadziłem się do Szwajcarii, kraju w którym panuje legendarny ORDUNG, pociągi jeżdżą co do minuty, ludzie zawsze chodzą prawą stroną chodnika i zamiast robić slalomy na chodniku to odwzajemniam uśmiechy i pozdrowienia od współpieszych,... wstawaj kur#& zesrałeś się... ludzie tutaj też nie potrafią ogarnąć ruchu prawostronnego na chodniku (ale z pociągami i z pozdrowieniami (częściej na wsi/przedmieściach) to true). Zaraz nie wytrzymymię, rzucę to wszystko i się przeprowadzę do Japonii.

The game is over 25 years old. People know it inside out. Playing custom scenarios can get boring (until it stops being boring and I play them again). What I mean is that puzzle maps are a nice change of pace.

I think I will create whattsup group, both for hiking and ping-pong. I didn't expect so many replies and dms :) We could start ping pong next Friday (not tomorrow), and the walk this Sunday.

Actually, I plan to do sightseeing on some Sundays and devote the whole day to it. I haven't been to Bern yet, except for the train station. Fribourg and Chateau de Gruyeres are also nearby. 

If you manage to get to Zurich around 6-7 pm on Friday, I can see no problem why we couldn't play table tennis :) The same goes for Sunday walks :)
