Maybe the company doesn’t want to?

[Pranay Kotasthane @pranaykotas]

How were Reliance and India able to build the world's largest *and* most complex oil refinery? Why didn't this achievement spill over into other areas of manufacturing?

Mahakavi Jayadeva’s Gita Govindam survived from the 12th century across genres and generations to be called a “vulgar text” by some stray online troll! 😂

Vulgar is in your mind and in your lack of knowledge and understanding! Go get some therapy before you go totally retarded!

@vizagobelix What do you mean by opposition is destroyed?

I think the opposition lacks focus and gave up already.

I don’t think it’s right to blame the government as far as opposition is concerned. It’s the other way.

[Ramachander Poodipeddi @pvramachander]

I agree.

[Rahul Raj @x_rahulraj]

I'd be much happier if the Prime Minister prioritized tackling rampant corruption and incompetence at the top levels of government instead of traveling abroad to receive awards.

And do we nothing about it. Toys QCOs has been a joke.

[Diva Jain @DivaJain2]

Both toys and sports goods are easy export opportunities for India.

@pradeep_1123 @_RamanaB_ @AbhismRti @ArtSivasri Among those who have managed to not only understand his music but also successfully implement it in their own performances is our young superstar Veena Vid @_RamanaB_ .

I could write a whole essay on this but i’ll save it for another time! Listen to this!

@pradeep_1123 @_RamanaB_ @AbhismRti @ArtSivasri I think Dr BMK’s music has been best understood by many who wouldn’t fall into the category of being his ‘direct disciples’.

Several younger generations artistes have done more justice to his musical imagination than those who go around tomtoming as his students.

Remembering the musical colossus Dr Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna Garu (1930-2016) on his birthday, today on the english calendar.

Happy to have been his biographer! What a phenomenal genius!

Chronology.

1. Attorney General R. Venkataramani told a court hearing that E20 was an "experiment" whose ​results would only come out next year.

2. The government denied the remark was ever made, but ⁠video of the court hearing showing Venkataramani saying the words has since gone viral on social media.

3. Venkataramani told Reuters on ​Friday he used the term "experiment" in the context of the volume of ethanol supplies, not the ethanol petrol policy itself.

4. This ​has done little to quell public anger, with opponents of the policy accusing the government of rushing its rollout.

5. Seeking to reassure motorists, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday ​compared ethanol fuel to its use in motor racing. "They use it in racing cars also, the acceleration increases. Mileage, yes, ​it may drop a little," Puri said.

@HuiyaoWang Wang: “Overcapacity is a misnomer. China’s manufacturing capacity grew because it opened up and integrated itself into global supply chains. Chinese products became more competitive through scale, market discipline, infrastructure, industrial clustering.”

There was a time when senior executives and leaders used to dictate the letters to stenographers.

I don’t think simple A/B testing would help.

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

I tried ditching typing for speaking using AI tools but something always felt off. Typing (or writing) gives you a buffer in the head to think, revise and explore thoughts in a way that speaking doesn't.

My bet is that if someone does a careful controlled test on quality of work output while typing v/s dictating, we'll see dictation having much worse outcomes.

[Śrutaṃ me gopāya @shrutammegopaya]

In the context of महाभारत, there is an oft-repeated line that is quoted in many places -

"whatever is found here may be found elsewhere; what is not found here is to be found nowhere else"

Suggesting the authors are claiming the text to be a repository of all knowledge, which is no doubt a silly and preposterous claim.

But the actual verse in आदि पर्वन् doesn't claim that at all. The श्लोक goes -

धर्मे च अर्थे च कामे च मोक्षे च भरतर्षभ ।
यदिहास्ति तदन्यत्र यन्नेहास्ति न तत् क्वचित् ॥

"In matters of धर्म, अर्थ, काम, मोक्ष, O bull of the Bharatas—whatever is found here may be found elsewhere; what is not found here is to be found nowhere else"

So the claim is not one of encyclopedic knowledge, but one of wisdom - that one can learn everything about the four aims of life from the epic
