So you're saying the old belief that crossing the ocean ("Kala pani"/black water) would strip a person of their caste was correct? 🤔

Also: I can't recall any Indian politician openly expressing a desire for higher female LFP. Education, yes, LFP? No, though that might be my ignorance.

Only if you choose to not be organized. You can create a great folder structure in it. Also, versioning & document history are superb.

Big downside of Google is if the file owner leaves the organization & it wasn't in a "shared drive," it's lost forever. Use Shared Drives for everything important!

Yes. 100%.

But also, his mother used to be a nurse, & isn't homeless. His sister has challenges, but isn't homeless. There's obviously a lot we don't know, but it's their son/brother who is living like this.

Society should help. But shouldn't families, first? Something is so badly broken here.

If we want people to trust science or the scientific process, or fund social science research with public $, then integrity is critical.

Every fraudulent junk science paper chips away at public trust in academia a little more.

Yup, I always play the bar scene for students right after we cover Nash equilibrium and ask them to dissect what's wrong. They usually get it pretty quickly!
