terrible news reporting. which is what i expect of indian news sites.

but Samsung has been rapidly ramping up and R&D in India and hiring tons of engineers there, so the move makes sense.

Selectively reading just reddit can addle your understanding of the world. Samsung chose India to run the largest mobile phone factory in the world. So clearly they know what they're doing.

The article mentions that the founder (a woman) couldn't find enough time to spend with her kids during Covid due to work pressures and came up with this policy.

But about your point, caution such as your stepbrother mentioned is common in lots of parts of the world with crime problems. I was in California for some time and when I got there I was shocked to be told by my neighbors that I shouldn't walk around outside the apartment building after 9pm, even as a guy (but driving and even biking was ok). The Citizen app gave ample evidence of why. Earlier, during my college years (also in US but in the midwest), the school pretty much said female students should avoid walking lone outside campus after 10pm and offered a hotline that would bring a male guardian to walk anyone home. I found out later that college towns in the US are notoriously crime-prone as there are lots of distracted, innocent kids walking around for criminals to prey on – they even come in from other cities for the opportunity. This doesn't apply to everywhere in the US of course.

being boxed in a house is not ideal for a dog. they want out. but that doesn’t mean they hate their owners – just that houses are not natural environments for them. also, dogs love the company of other dogs. i guess ideally for them, you’d be running around in the wild with them making new doggie friends!

Dogs don’t smile because they’re happy. They smile because they know it makes US happy. And I think that’s still quite precious.

thanks!

where did you hear this anecdote?

that’s what many are missing here. adani is a strategic asset for the ruling party. it will prop them up if they continue doing their bidding. and adani will keep pumping the party with money. it’s been a win win for them so far.

this is why so many companies buy the cheapest scratchy toilet paper :(
