Surpass in what exactly? Authoritarianism? Idiots spewing nonsense to collect their paychecks.

I checked, and you don't have sufficient social score.

Yeah, "solving puzzles". If that's the case, surely it can wait - why does it need to be solved at 2 am? Anyway, if you're gonna be a slave for $200k please go ahead, its yo choice.

On call typically means you gotta be online and respond within 15 minutes if paged. That's abusive. If you want a person to do that, then pay them for that. As an example, on call in Amazon works the way I described, and yes it is abusive.

Your second paragraph is spot on. When ever I login I see random sheet contents and equally sheet comments. Give me a resume hosting + job post/search site any day.

Amazon has shit managers. Stop whitewashing your behavior.

That's your perspective. From my vantage point they are a 50x developer :)

To your last question, yes, those ads haven't changed one bit.

You don't "read" these type of information. You make them up to look good.

Yeah right, every damn thing is because of someone else. Start taking responsibility for your actions.

Its very easy to understand. Broadly speaking, in any culture you'll find two types of people. 1. Those who question existing systems and accept the historical truths even if it doesn't paint their own identity in good light. 2. Those who will claim that their identity is awesome and will deny or shift blame for past injustices. You can see this literally everywhere.

Irrelevant where the word comes from. You're indulging in revisionism to make yourself look good. Caste system has been in existence for no less than 2000 years.

For a start, do you have a better method? Let us know which country is "not totally corrupt" and why is it so? Checks and balances in any system reduces efficiency and places a lower limit on how bad things can get. On the topic of adding these to the curriculum, I'd say its a good thing, although most of these 12 Xi thoughts are pure platitudes.

Strongly disagree. I am not an American, but I am aware about Hong Kong, but know nothing about, say, Burkina Faso. The reason is pretty simple - HK is going downhill (from my perspective) while there isn't much of a change in Burkina Faso, although I would rather be in HK than Burkina Faso. In other words we react to what we see as "negative change" from our own perspective.
