China has a billion people and produces vast and rapidly growing numbers of highly skilled academics, both in their local universities and by sending students abroad. Many of the smartest people I know are Chinese and have returned to China after completing their degrees and collecting experience in western companies.
I don’t want to take a side but the parent is almost certainly going to point out that academic papers != innovation (especially with the news that lots of papers from China have falsified data, paper mills, etc).
What are actual innovations made by China in the past 20 years? On demand bikes comes to mind as one example.
one issue with pitch is that, for doctors who are not versed with web technology, your offer is more of a paid liability, than a solution.
who would maintain the website, when you have sold them?
the vets, probably neither have the time nor the inclination to maintain it, and so far they have been doing without it.
Why dont you offer them, website and with just a marginal yearly cost, free maintenance also, with which they can always keep their website updated, by just sending you text and photographs by email?
this is like a complete peace of mind offer.
in fact, you can make it one offer, website with free maintenance (hosting, domain, updating content etc) at a flat yearly free.
While eating less and having CR and IF is important, equally important is the actual process of eating.
Most of the articles focus on results, but not on the actual process.
If one is eating sitting on the couch, watching television, completely oblivious of the activity, it is not going to help.
There is nothing absolute in nature, everything is connected.
How do we eat is far more important than how much we eat.
One simple experiment one can do at dinner is to sit alone, without any distraction with the dinner plate and for every morsel one takes in, chew it till you count 20 and then swallow.
I believe what the article points to convey about "emotional labour" is that, it is tough to do these jobs because, being in constant company of distress and suffering is emotionally very tough.
Specially in case of elderly or those suffering from terminal diseases, it is much more tough because inherent you are helpless, you want to do so much but inspite of your best efforts, you can't do anything.
Exactly. And this had been coming for years. A transgendered friend of mine starting working there in 2014. She quit within a week. It was only a matter of time.
They could have remained shitty, but taken plausible deniability actions. As with a top exec personally going to India to get a rape victim's health records (?!?!), Uber seems to have no concept of covering their asses.
They just showed a complete lack of care in so many situations... Shows that ignoring the rules can certainly pay off.
Probably would help your eyes but I don't think sitting with your eyes closed for two hours would equal a two hour nap.
Have you ever spent your night not able to fall asleep, with your eyes closed? Were you refreshed in the morning, or exactly opposite?
I think the error in the study is to suggest that the time perception has to do with the brain sleeping. I think what happens is that our vision already does a lot of tricks on us hiding some details, hiding the delay that it takes to process visual stimuli, even creating details where there aren't any just for our benefit. The time dilation can be another trick that we just don't yet fully understand.
These companies start investing in other leading startups, scross the globe and have substantial stakes in them.
Then, nationalise these companies and you have then indirect control/semi-control/access over vast majority of leading startups across the globe.
This seems to be a nice move by Chinese government.
