Ah yes, so all Sri Lankan buddhists must be vegetarian.

Mate, <50% of India is vegetarian.


That website is awful on iOS/Safari. Constantly scrolls me back to the top.


On Firefox (Linux) the page just goes blank after a second or two. They must really don't want people to actually read their articles


Same on Firefox (macOS). Reader mode worked, though.


It did come back for me after some extra seconds though...


Reader mode made it more bearable for me



Amazon, Google, and Microsoft aren’t members either. But they’ve been mentioned.


I don’t have data but I wouldn’t be surprised if it got there. India is mobile first, Jio is putting internet in the hands of 100s of millions of Indian at cheap prices. They’re shutting out the competitors.

Jio also has its own streaming service, which doesn’t count against your data caps. That’s anti net neutrality.

The obvious next step is to start making the sender pay for traffic as well.

How does this work? AFAIK JioCinema uses Akamai for content delivery... do they not count data for traffic from their own hosted edge caches or is it something else?


Can you point me to where Jio says it zero rates this? This is new to me and very interested


> danger to my personal well being and the cost

I don't know what your personal situation is, and you don't have to go into any detail, but how/why is coming to the office affecting your personal well being?


driving every day is more dangerous than not driving every day. job is basically saying take a small chance to be injured every day that we don't have to insure to keep your job.


> driving every day is more dangerous than not driving every day

Can't disagree there. Do you also do thing like having groceries/shopping delivered to your place of residence, to avoid having to leave the house. Or do you still walk/commute/drive/travel to things that most would consider part of everyday life?


of course i drive/bike/walk in daily life. the risk is proportional to miles traveled. adding 10-50 a day compared to 10-50 a week is quite a bit. is that snark


It comes from Amazon's Leadership Principles (LPs) [1] which honestly feel like the vestiges of the company's heyday. The two new ones (at the bottom) were added by Andy Jassy when he took over and are a joke within the company. But here's what this post's title is referring to

> Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit

> Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.

Maybe Americans are just terrible at interviewing for these jobs?


> old phone

Announced yesterday

Checks out!


> free with applecare

So about $200 depending on what model you have then? I pay for AppleCare+ for my iPhone 11 (mostly because I like not using a case) and it's not free.


I could barely read or navigate on mobile despite being prompted to ‘flip to landscape’. I gave up on the page.
