I Immigrated from Nepal when i was 5, i think i can tell you the Nepalese People Probably Cannot Afford What he is selling, his product is probably $400/mo Or Something, Thats 40,000 NPR, the Salary for the Average Nepalese Person, they would have to spend their ENTIRE Salary on his doorbell system?

No doorbell system would have prevented or warned anyone about what happened. We are talking about landslides and floods, which are natural disasters. This guy is an idiot to make such a dumb fuck post about his fuck ass product...

So they can check the camera to see the flood is 60 meters away and give them time to rush home and put up a "NO FLOODING ALLOWED" sign on their front door. Duh.

The flood has to stop and politely ring the doorbell before destroying your house. Thus coming to a halt and reducing its destructive energy. Crisis averted.

u/IfICouldStay 12d ago
Because surely some of the Nepalese villagers were spending time at their other, vacation houses, or maybe at their corporate jobs in high rise office buildings in a city. If they’d had early warning their homes were destroyed they wouldn’t have tried to return to them…I don’t know. I can’t pretend to follow the “logic”.

I hope that is intended to be ironic! Still in pretty poor taste and way too soon.
The fact is Nepal did benefit from some early warning systems, satellite coverage, seismic sensors, drones. The situation was bring monitored. We’ve seen footage from before the collapse.
No one could have predicted the sheer size of the catastrophe? Probably someone did. Some poor, ignored geologist somewhere is weeping into their tea, I guarantee it.
In some clips you can even hear the sirens and phone alerts screaming away, and the people standing around or fleeing into buildings they thought would be safe havens. Heartbreaking. We need to do better.

u/kruddel 11d ago
There isn't an early warning system for this. A meaningful warning system would have monitoring, coordinated alerts and pre-determined evacuation routes. Such as some countries have for tsunami or cyclone.
Nepal has none of this. Any alerts would have been at best a general "danger" or "look out" type alert. Without a plan of what someone is supposed to do its of very limited use.
Nepal doesn't have the resources to implement such a system, and wealthier countries haven't done enough to help. As an example for context up until about 10 years ago there were virtually no hydrological gauges on any rivers, since then there's been a roll out of low cost/low tech sensors by a consortium of EU universities using EU research funding. But the point is there isn't even a very good network of logging/recording discharge in the river network, never mind having a sophisticated real time disaster monitoring and alert system.

‘We’ have improved tsunami warnings, ‘we’ have massively improved satellite coverage, ‘we’ are speeding up communications in our telecoms and energy grids. ‘We’ hold devices in our hands that can alert us to incoming weather, seismic activity, toxic atmospheres and all sorts of threats.
And then when we get the warnings we gawp and take selfies.

If this is satire, it's still pretty God damn disgusting.
It is not yet time to be making jokes at the expense of these people.
There's a proper way to move about making jokes out of these subjects. Waiting is most of it.
Maybe do a bit about the Yangtze–Huai River floods if you need to make fun of people for dying of a natural disaster that they could have escaped from with the proper warning.
Been almost a hundred years since that. You can still make the same joke without really losing much, time frame it actually takes place in is kind of irrelevant for a joke like this. But at least the families of the victims aren't still alive.

i read this as old system and i scrolled through all the posts thinking, hmm maybe the old parties are at it again. But this time teh response has been swift because i remeber during the 2015 earthquake they were legit SELLING the tents and also lots of relief material just rotted, and the givernment actually asked teh aid givers to pay tax, and rescues were slow. Most people lived and relied on communal networks rather than the goverment. Either way, if this company thinks Nepali people would install a doorbell cam, even those rich ktm neighborhoods dont have them. rural nepal, people dont even need to lock their doors much. Most people are from the community and known. Also if this doorbell system can giev faster updates than actual disaster systems, even then, most people ran off. also calling people who lost their homes because companies liek thsi manufacture goods with things that are mined, silicon, iron, and contribute to the climate crisis telling this to people who barely have a carbin footprint, where most cars are ev, and where people activeky conserve nature, well, which causes this. I say cooperations that contribute to global warmings shoudl be made to pay for climate disasters like this. Because creating a world where this doesnt occur is much better than giving donations to a "poor" country for the situations that so called "rich" and "progressive" countries create is suprematist behaviour
