Hi Everyone!
We failed at being a triweekly meetup this time around. We will keep trying. The next meetup is on Sunday, Feb the 1st. It’s happening at the usual venue - Matteo Coffea on Church Street (Get inside Matteo Coffea and walk to the backside seating area. By backside, I mean all the way back - there is a second section to the cafe past the restrooms. You can find us seated on the right or left side with an ACX Meet-ups sign pointing the way).
Here’s a quick refresher on the format for the meetup:

The other effect of extremely cheap and plentiful labour I have observed is the relative safety of Indian cities for the upper class. In cities like London or Baltimore crime is pervasive enough that the average person needs to be worried about people breaking into their houses at night.
In at least the big cities in India, every single big enough building (apartments, malls, libraries, theatres, schools) will have at least one warm body (security guard) sitting outside it. He's a security guard only in name since he looks too frail to fight a fly. We pay these people to sit around all day and watch Instagram reels while collecting Amazon packages and... (read more)
Hey everyone,
The next meetup for the Bangalore LW/ACX Group is scheduled for 5th October. It’s happening at the usual venue - Matteo Coffea on Church Street. (Get inside Matteo Coffea and walk all the way to the back, into the backside seating area. You can find us seated to the right side with a sign).
This meetup will be announced as a part of the Fall/Winter run of ACX Meetups everywhere that runs twice a year, so expect a higher-than-average attendance. For the same reason, this event will not have any of our usual moderated group discussions. Feel free to socialise, meet new and interesting people, discuss your interests, and do generic-new-people things.
Please RSVP here at the Lesswrong event page to let the host know that you are going to make it to the meetup.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
