    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    Ok, let me confirm the mechanism you are proposing : 1. The content is on Twitter (now named X). 2. Govt has its own portal on which govt publishes the id of the content to be removed. 3. Twitter (X) subscribes to this govt portal and removes content? Govt uses Twitter for far more specific...

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    I'm a fellow victim of theitdepot too. The email id I used for only theitdepot, got flooded by spam. Where did you check for leaked data? I'm afraid any website I use for checking leaked data will itself leak my data - trust in humanity is running pretty low, NGL.

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    Even the cheap labour may or may not come. These big announcements have a lot of ground work pending - during which if anything goes wrong the investment may go to some other country.

    What's your perspective on the India's future?

    If it's me you're asking this, for once I'll get down to kindergarten level to explain this : 1. Claim is the absence of caste bias reduction in anyone. 2. I saw caste bias reduction in me and many others. Directly contradicting the claim. 3. X person NOT seeing a reduction in anyone does NOT...

    What's your perspective on the India's future?

    You have been out of the discussion for a while, because it has been pointed out at least thrice in this discussion that it is not about finance. It has also been explained with data and examples. But you have not read it.

    What's your perspective on the India's future?

    While @Darth Vader has covered many points, there are more : 1. Most important, so needs repetition : this is a fundamental, extreme, and at times deliberate ignorance of the basics of the Constitution of India. Reservation was never for poverty. And for casteism, it's not a "solution" but one...

    affordable good place to live in india

    If you make money in non-INR, using LUT you can pay zero GST. But it doesn't stop you from needing to file GST. No logic, law is law. If no LUT, then pay 18% too. Edit : of course subject to other conditions like minimum income, which kind of services you export etc.

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    You might already know this, I'm just adding here for completeness - As per the leaked chat, for what it's worth, Trump wants to "send a message". And wants Europe to "pay" later. In their estimate, nobody in Europe's navies has the capability to target Houthis to open their own shipping...

    What's your perspective on the India's future?

    Hilarious. If this thread is the only information someone has about India, they will be appalled with the near future of India - they'd think all the people staying behind are racist and eugenicist.

    Delhi High Court Judge caught with Heaps of Cash in his home. Justice compromised?

    I'm not particularly an enthusiast of online payments. And convincing the bank apps to work on rooted phones is more headache than its worth :) But to anyone assuming that it's all hunky dory just because in theory we have USSD interface for UPI, I can list the practical problems I faced: 1...

    What's your perspective on the India's future?

    Yes, latest event that I came across : BHU has more seats but denied a dalit student of rank 2. https://timelinedaily.com/education/cleared-net-8-times-phd-rank-2-yet-denied-bhu-admission-protests Though I cannot verify the authenticity of this news item independently.

    Delhi High Court Judge caught with Heaps of Cash in his home. Justice compromised?

    Using UPI is not the point, inability to use an alternative (e.g. cash) because of your hypothetical success in removing cash is. Haha. Firstly I already addressed the point when describing how the interfaces of apps make it difficult to interact with people outside of the platform, even if...

    The other option is that you can read my post to which you are replying. Your choice.

    Delhi High Court Judge caught with Heaps of Cash in his home. Justice compromised?

    So that government has absolute power on your every minute of life? And private companies too. I am on UPI but not on any "platform" like Gpay, PhonePe etc. They have created their interface such that it is not easy to transfer money to UPI member's that are not on those platforms. The private...

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    Yes, but this seems to be a no kids household story. Kids can do dangerous things to / with pedestal fans.

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    Awesome, but bifacial panels have one face buried in the surface? Am I seeing it correctly?

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    In my experience, in large space office type setup, where one "room"/ "hall" is significantly over a thousand sq feet, with multiple AC vents, fan is not really required. In home type setups, where one room is 120-250 sq feet, ACs easily create cold spots and warm spots in a room, and a slow...

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    I guess the claim is not about FL washing better, but FL using less water. So you can stretch the argument to say "for the same amount of water", FL washes better. And the reason for front load using less water is also clear - it's not about the loading direction but spinning direction. Even if...

    Daily Memes Thread

    To other animals, I'm sure male humans in the wild look more beautiful. Males have the mane, are bigger, have more body fur, head hair length is the same. And female human specific traits are designed to specifically look good to only human males. Similar stuff on other animals either look ugly...
