Saint Gyandev, a 13th-century poet, wrote a children's play called Moksha Patam. Instead of the original Moksha Patam, the British renamed it Snakes and Ladders and degraded the entire knowledge.

The 12th square on the original one hundred square game board represented confidence, the 51st square reliability, the 57th square generosity, the 76th square wisdom, and the 78th square perseverance. These were the squares with ladders and where one could move swiftly.
The 41st class was for disobedience, the 44th class was for vanity, the 49th class was for rudeness, the 52nd class was for stealing, the 58th class was for lying, the 62nd class was for drunkenness, the 69th class was for debt, the 84th class was for anger,
the 92nd class was for greed, the 95th class was for pride, the 73rd class was for murder, and the 99th class was for lust
These were the squares that were waiting for the snake's mouth to open. Nirvana, or Moksha, was represented by the 100th square.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
