  • dismiss any information merely because it emanates from a source they disfavor is the epitome of liberalism

    But there are sources that we’d doubt more, right?

    In this case, I think the info is decent, since other sources say similar stuff and it makes sense withp previous info/experience.

    Not related to science news, but I’m careful of sources with a right-wing bias in the context of general news. I’ve had experiences where they had exaggerated or twisted news. Not that left-wing sources are totally free of it, but it the scale n frequency in exaggeration seems different. And it often gets criticises by left-wing people too.

    So, I am more careful of those rightwing sources. Am I a liberal because of that?


  • I have a Tecno spark 8c and it can’t download attachments using mobile data from the Gmail app. Works when I’m on wifi. Must be some app like the Download manager having an error or some metered connection thing(I did check for that for apps like Download Manager n Downloads).
    Workaround for gmail me was logging on gmail in chrome. K-9 mail also works. So it had workarounds.

    Recently it started affecting Tachiyomi downloads too. Can’t really ignore it now when I’m not connected to wifi. Did check for it, but didn’t find a reason/solution. Been thinking about a factory reset, but not really keen on it as I would have to backup files(important ones do have copies) n app settings.


  • Don’t organisations already follow this? Atleast for their workers.
    People getting into a public or private job have to show that they are eligible.

    Regarding meritocracy at level of society:
    I think it’s going to be difficult in reality.

    1. Who appraises the merit of people? Who defines, maintains and updates the standards/methods used for the appraisal?
    2. Is there a system for continuous quality check? It’d be needed to maintain the system as a meritocracy.
    3. How is the quality check system preserved in the system?
    4. Who appraises those who appraise?

    In the case of an organisation, the leaders/owners of the org can choose workers with merit. But the owners themselves are not appraised, right? Unless they are in some co-operative org or so.

    Perfect meritocracy seems very difficult to implement for the whole of society.

    I think democracy(which gives due importance to scientific temper and obviously human life) is a decent enough system. We can iterate on it to bring up the merit in the society and its people as a whole
