It’s not good to do something like this 😭

They didn’t even provided a detailed info on why they deactivated my account.

Guys, what’s the best alternative to @Hetzner_Online?

Whenever you choose a third-party service for your SaaS, you add risk.

If you build the feature yourself, you add at least ten times the risk.

The EU has found cancer-causing chemicals in 527 Indian products reaching their borders.

Last night, after an hour or two of Internet search, I believe I succeeded in finding out the likely source of that list, and what I saw is really worrying. I will share all my findings in this post, and also share the links so that you may explore the lists and check the data for yourself. Bit of a long post, though I’ll try to keep it concise.

Just last week too, Hong Kong and Singapore had banned some varieties of MDH and Everest masalas because they contained ethylene oxide, a proven cancer causing agent, above permissible levels.

EU, HK and Singapore have either banned the products or returned the consignments from their borders. But the more important question here is: as primary consumers of the produce, that too in bulk, are we being taken for a ride? What’s the quantum of health risk to us, and are our regulatory bodies any good?

The EU’s decision was based on recommendations from the European Food Safety Agency that relies on the findings of an intra-authority information network that operates across national borders - the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).

The RASFF data can be accessed from a site called the RASFF window (see screenshot). I have included the link at the end of this post. I searched the RASFF database with two keywords - ethylene oxide and India. The results can be downloaded in either csv or xls format (see screenshot).

Findings - Hazardous levels of ethylene oxide were found in every conceivable food product : spices, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, chia seeds, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, cardamom and many other food varieties.

Ethylene oxide was also found in many health supplements, so called immune boosters and herbal medicines and all these products were either withheld or returned from the EU’s borders.

Searching products originating from India, I found that there were 1094 RSAFF notifications from 17th May 2019 to 26th April 2024 and these red flags included aflatoxin, pesticide residues, mycotoxins, nitrofurans, Salmonella, chlorpyriphos, anthraquinone, cadmium, mineral oil, mercury and multiple other hazardous contaminants with potentially serious health risks.

My worry - we all consume these food articles on a daily basis, and I won’t be surprised if we are unwittingly getting exposed to large doses of hazardous or cancer causing agents. I can only hope that FSSAI or other food safety regulators in India are doing their job.

Explore the RASFF window yourselves. It never harms to stay informed.

Maybe obvious thought but last night I realized:

The internet was just a way to move all human knowledge into a structured format easily accessible by computers so that AI could then arise and train on all of that

Before the internet that knowledge was too dispersed, in books, television, people's stories etc.

Internet was just a bootloader for AGI

Jensen, the founder of NVIDIA, said something that triggered me today at the Stripe event.

He compared the Industrial Revolution's conversion of water (atoms) to electricity (electrons) to a modern process of converting electricity to tokens.

He introduced the concept of 'token factories' where electricity is the input, and tokens (text, large language models, images, etc.) are the output.

Wild to see how he’s thinking many steps ahead to a future we’re about to enter.

This was a fun conversation about some of the big decisions you face when starting a new Django project—including how much to use Docker, picking a CSS framework, React vs HTMX, where to deploy, and many more.

For extra fun, take a drink every time I say "it depends..."

In 2017, a 10-year-old Florida girl Juliana Ossa fought off a deadly alligator attack by sticking two fingers up the alligator's nose. This forced the alligator to open its mouth to breathe, which freed the girl's leg and let her escape. She said that she learned the trick from Gatorland.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of laziness—lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

@deepigoyal Not much different than Net Neutrality.

Zomato is delivery infrastructure - and like any other infra it needs to be neutral to the contents apart from inspecting it for safety.

You know that the people asking for this are also keen to know the delivery persons names.

@_gauravb @championswimmer My autistic ass hates taking off my shoes outside the home. I have skip mandir visits because footwear has to come off. If taking off shoes becomes a rule, I'm never flying again.
