You might be familiar with Moore's law! The law states that # of transistors in an IC keeps doubling every two years.
This was taught like a commandment in schools. I recently realized that it's not a law but more an economic principles

@WeekendInvestng The people in the Western world don't behave like this, not because they are morally superior. It's just that the enforcement of laws is better. This is why Indians outside India behave better. Having laws without enforcement will lead to chaos like we see every day.
A lot of people ask why so many Indians run abroad the first chance they get? Why some states have temples dedicated to foreign country visas? Why some people are so desperate to get away that they even risk death by drowning or freezing to illegally enter other countries?
Why are Indians so desperate to immigrate?
Because in the countries these people usually move to, they value life. They value people. They value you.
Unfortunately, that particular concept is virtually unheard of in India.
Here, lives are as important as money is to a sacrificial lamb.
Because In India:
The government doesn’t give a damn about you.
The judiciary thinks you don’t even exist.
People, in general, treat others like a piece of crap.
And if you treat someone nicely, chances are they’ll backstab you at the first opportunity.
Most of us have our souls and self-confidence destroyed, respawned, and then destroyed again on a daily basis. We get treated worse than a car in a Rohit Shetty movie.
So why would anyone stay?
In India
A two-bit clerk in an obscure municipal department can make your life miserable.
Any random ticket giver or clerk can abuse you.
A part-time watchman outside a private building treats you like a criminal.
Store workers treat you like a thief.
Everyone treats you like a shirker.
Your life is essentially a never-ending hurdles race that lasts for 70 years, if you make it that far that is.
So why would anyone stay?
In India
You risk your life every single time you step out of the house.
You can die when an illegal concrete slab, which was permitted by a corrupt babu, falls on you.
You can drown in a sewage tunnel because some random bozo has stolen the manhole cover.
You can burn to death in an illegally modified bus that the corrupt RTO has permitted to operate.
You can be run over by a drunken idiot who’s been given a license by that same RTO.
You can be crushed to death in a stampede caused by the incompetence of the police, who can’t handle a crowd.
You can die after consuming poison labelled as medicine because the babu who was supposed to prevent it took a bribe and looked the other way.
You can fall to death from a train because the railway authorities, after taking lakhs of crores in the name of safety, have blown it all away on "other things".
At any point in time, you can get impaled, burned to death, crushed, fall off a cliff, or be killed by a guy with a sword, sometimes all of the above.
Here, life is like the game Prince of Persia, except, unlike in the game, you don’t get three lives, nor can you restart. Once you are dead, you are dead.
So why would anyone stay?
And then comes the worst part.
In India,
Nobody is held accountable.
Nobody faces consequences.
Nobody gets punished.
There’s nobody you can complain to — and where you miraculously can, nobody listens.
People whose incompetence caused your death get promoted.
Some even run important departments that enable them to kill more people.
Every second of your life here is a herculean effort against the system, the process and the people.
However, Hercules had 12 labours in total.
In India, you face 12 labours everyday
So why would anyone stay?
Therefore, when someone actually gets a chance to get out, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take it with both hands.
P.S.: In the last six months, 22 children died because of fake medicine, 40 people were burned to death in illegally modified buses and 51 people died in stampedes.
Those were 113 easily preventable deaths. Deaths mind you. DEATHS
113 innocent Indian citizens lost their lives.
What happened after that?
How many government officials were arrested? How many were punished? How many were sacked? What were the actions taken? How quickly we forgot everyone?
The answers to these questions will tell you why many people don’t want to stay in India anymore.
We don’t talk enough about how this regime has mastered the art of fudging numbers on every possible issue with stunning impunity. Such deliberate distortions actually need dedicated allocation of assets.
@knittins The PM took time to write you email amid his busy schedule. The rumor that he never takes breaks and holidays must be so true. So blessed to have someone like him.
When you have 'trusted' third parties in charge of your money, they will eventually control what you can do with your own money.
Even if you are unemployed, and you desperately need your money, you have to wait for 12 months.
#EPFO
@GBAChiefComm 🚧 Appreciate the @BBMPCOMM’s proactive inspection: Some key gaps,
📅 No clear timelines or deadlines
🧑💼 No department-wise accountability
📊 No plan for monitoring
💰 No mention of budgets
🚦 No traffic management plan during work
🚶♀️ Weak focus on pedestrian/cyclist safety
There is no social security when someone loses their job. On top of it, now they have to wait 12 months to withdraw their own PF money.
What kind of financial imprisonment is this?
EPFO meeting yesterday has announced some alarming provisions:
1) Full withdrawal in case of unemployment will happen after 12 months vs 2 months currently
2) Full withdrawal of pension after 36 months rather than 2 months currently
3) 25% of your EPF, kept in EPF always!
@saketh1998 Gold and Bitcoin have value because humans collectively agree on their worth. Additionally, the inherent value of both comes from the energy required to mine them. As long as miners are willing to spend resources (because there's demand) to extract them, they will maintain value!
@Prasann30238157 Instead of resorting to regional insults, shouldn't we be working together to demand better infrastructure for all? Questioning and constructive criticism are essential parts of a healthy democracy.
The city belongs to everyone who lives in it

Because Politicians aren’t allowed to waste tax payers money in London but in India, there is 0 accountability.
