@ShoaibDaniyal There are many reasons why most people buy watches. Looking at the time is not one of them.

@thewire_in @chhuti_is Hi Aparna, great article. May I ask, where are you getting the constituency-wise SIR voter deletion data from? The ECI website does not have these 91 Lakhs spread over the 294 A/Cs. Academically interested in this, therefore curious.

@chess_feed These castling puzzles are quite useless to tbh.

3. Building skills without AI makes you a better AI user later.

The current world champion trained without engines for years. You can't supervise AI in a domain you never learned to think in yourself.

The difficulties in winning this war are numerous.

The US-Israel coalition's capacity is beginning to fatigue, with a reduction of up to 65% in attacks, as I reported yesterday.

I also reported that CENTCOM seems to be inflating numbers to create a perception of victory, but the truth is that in both Israel and the White House, the plan has shifted to how to end the war without it looking like a defeat.

I don't see the slightest sign of fatigue in Iran yet. They still operate more than 30 ships, their submarine fleet, and over 300 missile boats, not to mention a large part of their air force. 

And, ten days into the war, Iran continues to launch missiles strategically. Very few THAAD radars remain in the region.
It seems nobody learned anything from the Russian difficulties in Ukraine. No matter how many missiles or bombs are dropped on Iran, it hasn't shown signs of causing fatigue to the regime.

Iran still holds the strait, and contrary to what many predicted, they opened fire on American assets in neighboring countries so violently that it intimidated any initiative from those neighbors to respond, even though the US maintained attacks from those territories as bait for Iran.

The big issue in all of this is that during negotiations, they were close to a deal with Iran and the construction of a path forward.

It is not simple to win a war against Iran. The way forward is to build bridges, as was done with Turkey decades ago, laying new tracks step by step. I confess that this has become more complicated today.

The war strengthens Iran's relationship with its proxies, making any future work much more difficult, including efforts aimed at the security of other countries.

We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies.
Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.

@mnwsth If this is the approach towards PhDs in India, then you are right, not many would "stay back" in India. I would not even recommend them to.
