That is again reiterating their point that it is favorable only to the small portion of insanely wealthy shareholders and does not even favor the overwhelming majority of shareholders too who are not insanely wealthy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variar Is a caste who have traditionally rendered temple services. it is not related to the english word or meaning warrior. The caste name also differs from region to region. I am not sure if the person you mentioned is the same caste or a different one.

Caste does not say your ancestors did that job, caste meant a person from a particular caste could only do that job and could not take up other jobs, people from other castes could not take their jobs and were disqualified because you were not born in a particular list of families. Some castes were prohibited from getting an education and were killed for this.

If they have used resources to block password sharing by checking and comparing location , devices and network the resources and cost for this edge case must me a high enough percentage.

Else they should just be ignoring password sharing as a concern altogether rather than causing negative press.

I see the usual exercise and other self improvement activities listed which are all good for your physical and mental health. What I see is among the self improvement and tasks most forget to take time to enjoy the day or reward themselves, this mostly comes as an afterthought or compensation for some heavy task done.

I would suggest to add this to your list of tasks and make sure you take a certain amount of time everyday to indulge in any activity that brings you pleasure or makes you happy. This is often neglected, so make this a priority equal to the other things. Make sure you don't miss out on this more than a few days. This may be listening to music which you enjoy, watching some funny show, enjoy some great food on some days, if you enjoy trekking or other physical activity ; just make sure you make time in your schedule to indulge in something that makes you feel happy or satisfied.

>Not really, because I saw too many software companies go out of business because not enough people wound up upgrading to the next major version -- the ownership model of software can be awfully feast-or-famine for developers' income, it's a very tough/risky business model.

If the Monthly Recurring Revenue is a make or break for companies that provide the software, then inversely the Monthly Recurring Expense would also be a make or break factor for customers or business using the service. Buy once may reduce the overall cost for customers and allow them to invest in upgrades only when their revenue is better.

There has to be balance and empathy for the customer too..

All or nothing approach to quitting leads to quitting completely or going back to the same state, When I quit smoking I used to quit for a week then a month, later I quit for a long time and I did smoke once after a year, I did not treat it as a failure and just a break in my quitting, have not smoked since, I may some time if there is a special occasion ,but I don't think that would get me back to regular smoking. I have seen some quit and then once they smoke or have a drink resign thinking their attempt to quit has failed and then going back to the habit.

You may have breaks in your quitting , but that's ok get back to the quitting state as soon as possible.

I have the same question. Definition from Wikipedia "Free will is the capacity of agents to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded." If your actions and decisions are a result of chemical and electrical activity in your brain, it does still mean that you are in control and unimpeded.

Free will seems to exist in a middle state where you do not think of yourself as a soul separate from your physical form and where you accept yourself as a carbon based organism reacting to processes.

Who is supposed to have this free will?

I see this as a chicken and egg situation. Even within any country if you see the salaries are higher in cities where you also have most job opportunities. This attracts workers who seek more opportunities and higher rewards. Those who are not able to compete or not interested to compete would not migrate to the city. Companies that operate in these places have to offer more to get the best among those available. Companies that need to get the best talent have to be ready to bear these higher costs to operate from these cities.

Reading up on the history of California, I see from a long time back since the times of the gold rush it has been a place which attracted people seeking more opportunities and the best people would stay there when they are rewarded for moving there. There may be multiple such cities and locations in the US , but even within the US salaries would differ in different cities.

I think the best answer may have to come from an economist who would understand these better.
