Twitter RW circles are giving me more frustration than Instagram RW
They have moved on from CJP & made a proper narrative out of opposition's ruckus during the Anti-paper leak bill discussion which are receiving 200-300k likes.
Full on infighting on here which only harms you
A question keeps coming up in Indian tech circles — why doesn't India have its own Palantir?
This piece argues it is the wrong question, and that the honest answer is more interesting than the one people expect.
First, what Palantir actually is.
- Strip away the spy-thriller image, and its real product is dull — software that takes an organisation's data, stored in twenty systems that don't talk to each other, and joins it into one view.
- The US spy agencies had that fragmentation problem, so the CIA's venture arm funded a company to fix it. That's the origin.
But here's the thing the piece points out.
- India already built infrastructure of the same scale of ambition, in Aadhaar and UPI. And it did the exact opposite of Palantir.
Palantir is a private company.
- The US government hired it to build the system that connects all its scattered data, and over the years it has come to depend on that company completely.
- It cannot easily replace it now.
India did the reverse with UPI and Aadhaar.
- The government built the core system itself and owns it.
- Companies like PhonePe and Google Pay build apps that use it, but none of them owns the system underneath, so the government is not tied to any single one of them.
An 'Indian Palantir' would mean a private company owning that core system. That is the opposite of how India has worked, so the piece argues it would not really fit.
Still, India's army and police have the same problem Palantir was built for. Their data is spread across many agencies that do not share it with each other.
So could an Indian company build something like Palantir just for defence?
The piece says the real hurdle is not a shortage of engineers, or even money. It is trust. The government does not trust private companies enough to hand them work this sensitive.

There is a finished computer chip at a new plant in Sanand, Gujarat. India put it together. Almost none of the parts inside it are Indian.
That one chip explains how far India's chip effort has got, and how far it has not. Here's what has been built, and what has not. 🧵
Being RW is hard and being LW is easiest thing, you should be really well read to defend you stand. You can't become RW one until you're faced with the mortality of you and your famliy. Commies kids in gated colonies and UC parents' kids never face this and become LW to socialize
Genuine question, I have rarely seen children of commie leaders turning into ‘Sanghis’, for that matter @asadowaisi’s kids will never turn into woke liberals, but why do so many @BJP4India and even Sangh Swayamsevaks seem to be raising woke, entitled, abusive brats in their homes, who neither respect their parents nor the ideology they espouse? What’s going wrong?
Sharing this in the wrong place. The people who actually need to know about it don't watch Lok Sabha proceedings, they get their news from Tatva on Instagram. Go to insta create a video regarding this, how long a 75 years old man will carry you all?
@Balancing_Actor We just need to bide our time, we have inverted population pyramid with fertility rates below 2.1. Once the GDP crosses 15 trillion, we will have more than enough jobs everywhere, reservation or no-reservation wouldn't matter in the economy of plenty.
CJP LEADER RATNA SINGH : "Why Police didn't check anti social elements during protest?"
ABHIJIT ITER MITRA 🔥: "Didn't Dipke get angry when Police did Aadhaar Check of Protestors?"
Whenever I watch Ajeet Bharti, I get the sense that there's a lot of malice behind his words. I agree with some of his criticism of the government, but it often feels less like genuine criticism and more like deep-seated resentment.
Another problem of this GenZ protest is that we will have to tolerate now folks who claim to support BJP but will rant non stop on how Modi ji is weak and he has made a mistake by allowing Youthiyas a win and not filing FIRs etc. Hey Ram, have to tolerate folks from both sides.
The worst cyber attack in history was prevented because one person noticed a compromised linux distro was slowing his system down by fractions of a second.
Applied for YC fall, last time my startup was rejected after the Interview cuz there was no way to validate the idea and literally had 0 traction. Now I have more than 300 users with 10-20 monthly active users. I hope I get selected this time 🤞
Right wingers can hate him all they want, but that's how you build an ecosystem, by backing your own hooligans, even when they're wrong. Bhajpa would've arrested their own supporters just to earn validation from left lol.
I will tell you exactly why TN has been fighting against NEET. This state has highest number of private colleges. Mostly politically linked. They all earn a lot on capitation fees, like hundreds of crores every year.
Much of this is lost due to NEET. PM Modi's govt also capped fees, increased seats, and did many things that's hurting them a lot financially. They want NEET gone, Modi gone.
So as they protest for these things, GLISCO-DS has joined the issue and told them to link NEET to Brahmans, Modi (though the man is OBC), and Adani (Jain). They do it faithfully like slaves of the CPC without any brain cells.
