Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.
Denying entry for being late is one the most idiotic rules to exist. What exactly are you losing by allowing a late student to write the exam? Don't come at me with the "but it's to ensure discipline". Bc no one ever deliberately gets late. The entire system is filled w sadists.
22 Lakh Students Suffer Due to Paper Leak = No Politician Resigned
2 Minutes Late = 3 Students Denied Entry to Set an Example of Discipline
Two Systems in India
Jio made a net profit of ₹30,000 crores, and Airtel made a net profit of ₹38,000 crores last year.
That comes to an average of ₹185 crores extracted per day from Indians in profit (not revenue).
There’s nothing wrong with making profits, but raising plan prices even after making such huge profits is not morally right.
These companies must be forced by the govt to offer plans with 0.5 GB/day, 1 GB/day, and voice-only options.
In the current duopoly, both companies are in a race to see who can extract more from Indians.
The govt needs to wake up from its deep sleep and strengthen BSNL to restore healthy competition.
In today’s age, the internet is a human right, and forcing people to pay more for something they need less of is no less than a crime.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated in a Bloomberg interview that the India AI Summit was "extremely disorganised".
About the chaos on stage: "There was Narendra Modi up there suddenly telling everyone to hold hands..." (collapses with laughter).
India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.
This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.
And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.
Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.
The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.
This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.
Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.
Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.
Journalist Janine di Giovanni:
"If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine,
Europe calls it a war crime."
"But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."
