The economic and demographic effects of corruption.

Cost of land in our urban areas is far higher than what our GDP per capita would dictate. The ratio of land value to per capita GDP is probably higher in India than anywhere else. As an example, land prices in Chennai or Bengaluru rival that of cities like New York which has a vastly higher per capita GDP.

The key reason?

First, vast sums of political corruption money is parked in real estate. This raises real estate prices and high real estate prices affect everything downstream.

Second, corruption in building approvals and the like - the famous DTCP - raises construction costs, on top of already higher real estate costs.

Third, corruption in private school regulatory compliance enforcement raises school fees.

Fourth, corruption in private hospital regulatory compliance enforcement raises health care costs.

Fifth, household goods need sales outlets and those pay higher rents due to high real estate prices and construction costs.

So housing, education, healthcare and household goods - all of these now cost higher.

As a direct consequence, the economic burden on the average person gets worse. Young people, facing all these costs, postpone marriage, and postpone children or have fewer children.

That directly affects our demographics.

While this issue exists in many parts of India, Tamil Nadu, being the most urbanized of the bigger states, is particularly hit hard.

So corruption is becoming an existential threat to our society.

If you worry about the super-low birth rate in Tamil Nadu, way below replacement, understand that corruption raising our cost of living is one of the major causes, not the only cause, but a big one in our context.

A joyous moment for every Indian!

Chola Copper Plates dating back to the 11th Century will be repatriated to India from the Netherlands. Took part in the ceremony for the same in the presence of Prime Minister Rob Jetten.

The Chola Copper Plates are a set of 21 large plates and 3 small plates and largely contain texts in Tamil, one of the most beautiful languages of the world. They relate to the great Rajendra Chola I formalising an oral commitment made by his father, King Rajaraja I. They also showcase the greatness of the Cholas. We in India are immensely proud of the Cholas, their culture and their maritime prowess.

I thank the Government of the Netherlands and Leiden University in particular, where the Copper Plates were kept since the mid-19th century.

my greatest adult disappointment was discovering that bad people get away with everything

[Aravind @aravind]

"Vijay (with a personal net worth of Rs. 650 crores) will personally give Rs. 2500 each to 3 crore women in TN."

"Modi opened an Adani built airport for Rs. 1500 crores. Why doesn't he give Rs. 1 crore each to 150 crore Indians and make everyone rich?"

This is the level of many Indian youngsters.

Now, the problem I see is, SM platforms (especially Meta ones) are full of these emotional youngsters from India, with scientifically proven lower IQ than their previous generations, who are being psyoped and programmed by India's adversaries - Deep State West, GLISCO-DS, Pak, China etc.

To cultivate them as a potent anti-India force inside India.

And India is unfortunately doing very less as a country to prevent this. It requires state level resources to fight the psyops and programming of India's youth via SM by nation-state adversaries. And to re-guide them in national interests, no matter whatever their political or ideological views.

DISRUPTION OR CONTINUITY IN CHANGE?
ADR analysed 231 TVK candidates. Of these, 92 self-declared criminal cases, while 43 self-declared serious criminal charges. Pretty much same percentage as "ESTABLISHMENT" parties. The Makkal elected TVK to "drain the swamp". But what if the swamp is itself indistinguishable from the very system it promised to replace?

WhatsApp’s “encryption” may be the biggest consumer fraud in history — deceiving billions of users. Despite its claims, it reads users’ messages and shares them with third parties. Telegram has never done this — and never will 🤝

I don't use net banking apps on my phone because the mandatory permissions they ask for make no sense.

Why does a banking app need access to my SMS, phone, contacts, etc., in the name of security, when not seeking invasive device permissions is, in fact, the global benchmark for cybersecurity. This is called the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP).

“Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you” has been at the heart of the Zerodha philosophy.

This is exactly why we've built Zerodha the way we have. Kite asks for ZERO permissions on mobile, for instance, and this is one of the big reasons why millions of people trust us. What has enabled us is SEBI's mandatory strong two-factor authentication framework strike the right balance between security and privacy.

why wouldn't the games take lesser storage as they used to before?

modern game uis are literally just websites now. modern warfare 3 runs its menus on react and electron. you are giving up 16gb of ddr5 ram just to render a battle pass button

nvidia dlss 3 is a software scam to let unreal engine 5 devs skip optimization. why write clean c++ when you can force gamers to buy a 5090 to fake 60fps using a 480p base render?

directx 12 was supposed to save us but game devs just wrap their directx 11 code in a translation layer. you are losing exactly 20 percent of your gpu power to a microsoft api wrapper

epic games ruined a generation of programmers with blueprints. visual scripting takes exactly 10x more vram than native code. we have people shipping 80gb games who dont even know what a memory pointer is

unity developers are just as bad because they refuse to learn memory management. they let the c# garbage collector run things at 120hz and then blame your ryzen cpu when their 2d pixel platformer sucks

destiny 2 is 120gb because bungie leaves 4 years of dead seasonal events on your hard drive just in case they wanna reuse a gun model. ur ssd is just a landfill for agile sprints

Medication cascade from statins:

- Month 1: Statins prescribed for cholesterol
- Month 3: Muscle pain develops (CoQ10 depleted)
- Month 4: Prescribed NSAIDs for pain
- Month 8: Liver enzymes elevated (from statins)
- Month 10: Cognitive decline begins (brain needs cholesterol)
- Month 12: Blood pressure rises (CoQ10 depletion affects heart)
- Month 14: Prescribed blood pressure medication
- Month 18: Fatigue worsens (mitochondrial dysfunction)
- Month 20: Prescribed antidepressants
- Month 24: Glucose control worsens (statins increase diabetes risk)
- Month 30: Prescribed metformin

Started with one drug for a number. Ended with five drugs managing the side effects of the first drug.

This is modern medicine.
