New comment by PankajGhosh in "Beyond Meat is struggling, and the plant-based meat industry worries"

PankajGhosh — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 03:06:05 +0000

Understood that you dont; But before Beyond/Impossible came, there used to be veggie patty that vegetarians enjoyed. And many of them have never tasted meat, and don't want to eat something that tastes like meat.

OP's point is that Beyond/Impossible replaced the veggie patty with a non-meat version of meat patty, instead of adding a new item in the menu.

Yes, because Ukraine is not a NATO member. If it was, then as per treaty, the alliance would respond.

How is that not clear?

PankajGhosh — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 19:31:45 +0000

The possibility of side projects to create future value or wealth is rather low.

Instead, I have started shifting my focus to "side-gigs" rather, with the goal that they create future value for me in some sense.

New comment by PankajGhosh in "Message DB: Event Store and Message Store for PostgreSQL"

PankajGhosh — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 04:33:37 +0000

On behalf of a technology team, looking to incorporate a messaging platform to our landscape: I am curious to understand the motivation behind implementing a messaging system on top of a database technology. There are robust offerings both for small scale and large throughput systems. What are the benefits of this project over other implementations(RabbitMQ, Kafka, Celery, ActiveMQ, ZeroMQ, SNS/SQS)?

New comment by PankajGhosh in "Detroit Has Had It with Cars"

PankajGhosh — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 06:26:48 +0000

I think the sentiment here is not acknowledging the full picture of shift in car ownership in US.

While it is true that more families are opting for SUVs, but that is because more families are opting to share a car (preferably an SUV from utility perspective) rather than owning two or more cars/sedans. The increase in availability of rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is also playing a part in this gradual shift.

(I can't seem to find the study which stated above, but will keep looking and update this comment when I find it)

Interesting idea. It would be a learning opportunity for all of us to know what libraries/frameworks are being used to create these website. Maybe this is something you can add to the aggregated feed.

Also, quite a few of them seem to be down. I would suggest marking them as inactive.

New comment by PankajGhosh in "Thoughts about TimeFit?"

PankajGhosh — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:01:07 +0000

My first impression is that I am more receptive to ideas related to Fitness (and eyes), but not so much about Diet.

That maybe specific to my own lifestyle choice, but I find dietary plans too intrusive and lacking in context(my health, dietary needs, food availability etc).

PankajGhosh — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 18:37:59 +0000

In the case, where answer is No to both the questions, I have come to terms with being comfortable with procrastinating on that task. If I cannot convince myself of value added vs effort required today vs in future, it is okay to delay the task.

Also, choosing not to do a task now and procrastinate can be a powerful and useful tactic.

Below are two questions that I ask myself, when I need to do a task I do not feel like. My experience has always been that the impedance is higher at only start of the task, and if the answer to any of below two questions is Yes, then the value of outcome would supersede my initial uneasiness.

1. Would the value created by this task reduce over time? In other words, is it better to do this task today than in future?

2. Does the effort required by the task increase (or remain same), if delayed? In other words, is it easier for me to do this task today than in future?
