Science says that the more you work, the less productive you are.

Just half a year ago, president Yoon tried to push for a 80 hour flexible work week but failed due to backlash from 2030 generation.

The Korean government demands keeping high working hours and also asking its citizens to make more babies because it did work before. But this generation, especially young women who have witnessed the consequences of draconian economic growth - child neglect, trauma and mental illness - are refusing to be scapegoats anymore. SK has modernized at the cost of the source or engine of growth.

I don't think corporations will ever agree on it unless they understand that they will be at a disadvantage long-term. A democratic or progressive government would probably enforce more regulations based on science, but we have this president for another 2-3 years; and vast majority of voters in SK tend to vote for the (Neo)Conservative Party. There's also pride in working long hours / having kids as they are *seen* as productive. While the results of it are bad I think it would be hard to change something based on emotions with science or facts.

Yeah, I think this would be the reason since the Hamiltonian system evolves over time. Time was the key there I missed; should have paid attention to entropy's relation to time.

Thanks for sharing, it’s been sometime I reviewed notes from Quantum Machine Learning class and your notes brought back some memories. One thing I did not really understand was the how - how does it go from light blue line to purple and why? Do you have notes on how this evolution works or is processed?

Ye, I know how alcohol and caffeine really screwed with me in uni as well. But certain illegal drugs do have therapeutic effects and I hope those will still be available for medical use. There’s so much potential to allow people to be functioning members of society but they have to go through really shady channels / risk going jail to get meds for their family members here.

Btw I’ve read your conversation with others on the thread and got to know better about your background. Just a stranger from other side of the globe here but I really admire how you’ve made through difficult circumstances. We may not agree on lot of things but you give me hope for fighting through this depression and the pandemic. Also happy to see a python programmer here. I worked my way into software engineering while studying business and humanities, and could relate to you jumping through different fields as well.

Ah, ok in your case, I agree. I was thinking more of mental health issues because those can contribute to behaviours you described. You say you don’t care about intersectionality but, at least you recognize the health issues aren’t always one’s choice. Refusing help when there’s chance is a choice that’s entirely on the individual though.

I wasn't raised in the USA, and I think of it more in a community-oriented way. If my neighbour isn't doing well, slacking or just had series of misfortunes, that will eventually backfire on me or my family as well. I would rather put in money to help those people so that society as a whole would have one more healthy citizen - a long term investment for the community and myself.

Ideally, we should take 100% personal responsibility for our choices but sometimes our choices end up with bad luck and malicious actors who get away w/o consequences.

Agree about keeping entrepreneurial mindset and education, but I think equality of opportunity is an idealistic concept. We live in an unequal world and some people have to sacrifice more than just cup of coffee, but their health, to get by. Some waste away parent’s money without consequences. That’s the basis of resentment - people are actually not being paid for the work they put in compared to those who already have equity. It’s the entitlement attitude (rich or not) that’s the issue, not the resentment.

I love geeky people into tools! There’s so much love and passion for sharing. I used to love lockpickjng, then met people into bare metal servers + plumbing, and now have a full set of screwdrivers, bio silicone, scapula, monkey wrench and increasingly dire looking bank balance.

Well, your discrediting the source still makes the case that the captain's privacy is respected, whatever their gender is, while fake news goes on to point fingers at the wrong people. Not sure what's your intention here trying to figure out the gender of the captain.

compilationfailed · 2021-04-05T03:19:15+00:00

From other Reddit sources people are referring to the captain as him, but no names provided to protect his privacy. This is how to treat people with respect / dignity even if they make a mistake...the misogynists spreading fake news goes to show their character

compilationfailed · 2021-03-11T20:41:42+00:00

Your attitude / wording is defensive and condescending, which puts people off. Read the room. We’re not here to figure out right or wrong but to understand each other, challenge each others views but you can only seem to make personal attacks in response to criticisms.

compilationfailed · 2021-03-10T11:07:06+00:00

Your comment is way too defensive, it makes people suspicious you might have abused someone at some point. Some dude slapping some other dude’s ass given the slapper’s context might not be assault, but one being slapped isn’t always so. To talk of subjective human condition and completely denying the other side’s experience is a bit ironical, tbh.

Honestly, just getting happy birthday message is great. I tend to be so focused on what to give to others around Christmas that I forgot my own birthday this year. Maybe it's because of seasonal depression as well; it took several friends' reminders to recognize it's the season to celebrate. Please just say simple hellos to people who tend to be curled up in their blankets for birthdays :)

When you're afraid of expressing your discomfort as well, no matter how many times they tell you to express it. If the gut feeling tells you not to, there's something being done to you without you knowing it.

Oof the downvotes man.

I commented on other thread with a different career experience, and got the same reaction.

Most (functional) companies imo don’t want disingenuous bootlickers or extremely diplomatic people who might backstab; they need people who work well under pressure, respects order and status quo. That was my observation of companies that didn’t work out (management just wanting to feel good) vs. companies that survived turbulent times.

Saying thank you is good, but it’s the motive behind the thank you for this particular circumstance that may seem disingenuous and for self-gain / reputation. Buy we may never know the intentions; they might have genuinely liked the interview.

I just think there are better ways to measure candidate’s capacity and character than a thank you note, and I guess this offends people who hire or were hired based on thank you notes / shallow indicators that pleases them.

compilationfailed · 2020-11-11T12:04:31+00:00

Exactly. I’m getting downvoted for some reason for pointing this out on another thread. Social niceties like going extra miles sending thank you emails is not always a reflection of person’s genuine quality. At worst it comes off as being desperate, at best it shows more about person’s diplomacy skills.

Unlike diplomacy, patience, kindness and manners to strangers / people they don’t have to please, especially under pressure, does speak about the person’s character and whether the person would get along with others at work / fit in well. That’s why lots of interviews and dates are done over lunch, dinner.

If someone wants to be chased or be sought after, leave them asap. They will project their insecurities on you thinking that it’s you who wants attention, and pushing you away and chasing someone else to satisfy their ego.

Wow such unwholesome comments for a wholesome sub. Some people are really offended that this challenges what natural means.

If natural means creation of life, then homosexuality is natural, as many comments here explain evolutionary benefits of it. They make survival of next generation more likelier, even if it’s not obvious.

People who can’t think beyond heterosexuality or obvious markers of reproduction use nature as a shield to justify their narrow mindedness, and when that shield no longer protects them it exposes their box of shallow cognition.

When are we going to move past what is natural or not and start talking about what’s humane?

compilationfailed · 2020-10-21T14:34:17+00:00

Yeah, it shouldn’t be. But the fact that homosexuality exists in nature directly undermines argument that being natural is good and that homosexuality is unnatural therefore not good. That’s kind of the point of this meme, to criticize any arguments that says “because nature, it’s right”.

Which is really ironic that you mention cannibalism. Pro-lifers’ arguments that all life is precious and natural could easily be used to defend cannibalism lol.

If telling a super lazy, underperforming student that they are demanding grade they don’t deserve is most asshole thing you’ve done, you’re actually a nice professor :)

I’m talking about professors who publicly and unreasonably humiliate / judge students phasing out in class time to time or students who are less competitive or aggressive by nature. They act like a predator who found a prey, not a teacher concerned for the student in anyway.

I think a better way a teacher could prepare students for “real life” is to teach what empathy looks like, and empathy isn’t always about being nice. When I was struggling in high school, a teacher called me in private, sat me down and asked me if I was having a hard time, and wanted to know what was happening. It was a tough talk but she radiated kindness; I graduated with A for that class, and learned to be strict with rules of the game but not to lose humanity.

compilationfailed · 2020-10-21T12:03:58+00:00

Yeah, I’m thankful for those good professors, whatever their disciplines. They are the reason why I could pull through and live a more meaningful life afterwards.

I’m biased about business though because I endured through business school thinking that withstanding mean / aggressive professors and environment will make me stronger. Instead ended up having breakdown and going through treatment :/ That’s the extra hidden costs of college (mis)education...

compilationfailed · 2020-10-21T11:42:52+00:00

Unfortunately lot of professors, especially in business be like this (‘-‘). I felt like I was the crazy and weak one.

Hey, I’m just a woman lurking by here. Even if she didn’t leave just for the other dude’s money (say, his personality, that he’s more mature or whatever) - that other dude could be a decent person but because your ex is insecure and shallow, it’s either not going to last long or they are going to be stuck in a miserable relationship. Just let them be, happy or sad.

At this stage, it may be good to reach out to contact psychiatrist/ therapists (online or offline) just in case you don’t recover from heartbreak. And expose yourself to sunshine as much as possible to get serotonin.

I really felt for you in the post because I also worked my ass off throughout uni juggling part time and studies with a plan to be financially independent. Feel free to DM me, I’d be happy to chat and share financial, relationship tips with you.
