I will prefer to read a book and quench my incessant thirst for knowledge (not patronising, not boasting, just genuinely curious about things)

The revenge of the nerds.

We have seen many rich kids house parties from India where you see many guys who go to the gym trying to get laid by dancing and grabbing attention. Even the girls look drunk and unhinged.

But this one looks different and it seems to be a techie and builders based house party. Everything looks more toned down. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are even having low concentration alcohol or mock tails.

The question remains.

Would you want to go to this house party or would you prefer to Netflix and chill by yourself at home?

Never ordering from @letsblinkit again, gave me a leaky bottle with atleast 5 holes then proceeded to waste 15 mins of my time recording the vid and then offered replacement when I was well past my bedtime doing all the tandav. Shame. And worst experience ever

better tech is not necessarily a flourishing future, for wdym some random dude will decide what values my machine should have

people think this is breakthrough or smn, but if you look at the sheer pathetic state of Indian govt websites and how they flout security like an after thought, you will literally vomit.

CBSE people didn't configure their AWS bucket properly and now we can paginate & enumerate all their media which has 2026 answersheets & question papers. ListObjectsV2 works without any auth and the bucket root is listable too — anyone on the internet can download any scanned booklet — across institutions. Multiple institutions are using the same bucket, insanely insecure.

capitalism that gives us vaccine and air travel and million other boons, can it led to the doom of society on its own too?

[Basil Labib @itbwtsh]

can the forces of capitalism be blind to the onslaught of its own benefactors?

claude deciding to screenshot a div center and proceed to burn 44K tokens to "think" will make hopper, neumann and ritchie turn in their graves

#WATCH | Mumbai | Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Sanjeev Sanyal says, “The relative performance of the Indian states shows one or two very clear trends. The first is the much talk about the North-South divide, which is not the real economic crisis in the country… It is actually an East-West divide where the eastern half of India is distinctively poorer than the western half of the country… The key to the Eastern half of India is reviving Kolkata, specifically because the high growth all over the country is ultimately driven by a handful of high-growth urban hubs… In that context, eastern India needs a high growth hub… Kolkata already has some clusters and a long, glorious history. Despite the last half century of decline, I would argue that the secret to reviving the eastern half of India must be about the revival of Kolkata, specifically.”

The starry-eye of first year

The nihilism of fourth year

design principles for governance
- follow Nature's lead whenever possible
- do NOT fight Nature
- small is better than big
- if its not broken dont fix it
- acknowledge diversity and evil, dont eradicate it
- not tolerance but co-existence
- preserve individual dignity
