If you think being altruistic has to be worth something to do it, then you're not an altruistic type of person. Being altruistic means doing what one believes is right and helping others regardless of any reward or value gained or lost.

While the American Left has been shifting right for the past few decades, were you even around during W. Bush's presidency? Progressives today want exactly what W. Bush campaigned against - proper climate policies and social / welfare safety nets.
Yet the US military is one of the single largest polluters on the planet. Yes they spearhead a lot of climate research, but then there are departments that will throw away $100m like I throw away a nickel. The amount of greenhouse gases produced by them in a single year is more than you or I or anyone you see or know will produce in a whole lifetime combined.
The title is vague, so here's the title of the actual study the article is based on:

Also, the problem isn't the algorithms used for the work. The problem is the metrics they expect employees to consistently hit. The technology isn't the problem, they just expect too much from their employees.

I went through that for a few years once. You start to distrust yourself and your emotions, and the spiral only deepens. I remember all I would do is work, sometimes eat, sometimes shower, and go to bed. I was just a shell of a person, and I don't want that for anyone. No one can truly understand unless they've had it. It was a long struggle, but I eventually made it out. I hope you do the same.
I tried to rewatch the show for the first time last month since the show ended. I told myself that it couldn't have been so bad after it began to increasingly deviate from the books, that I was just upset about it at the time.
Nope. I barely made it through S5 and while S6 had its moments, I realized I was only watching for a couple great moments instead of for the sake of watching it. I just wasn't enjoying it, so I stopped. In earlier seasons, epic moments like these were everywhere. It's no wonder the show alone built such a large fanbase early on
I help manage a fleet of Rivian vans for work. As amazing as they are, the subfreezing temps can make it really difficult to have an electric fleet. It's worth it, but so many issues come up because of the slow charging in winter. I'm hopeful this type of engineering can be scaled and successful, because that's one of the only issues I have with electric vehicles.
