Last weekend was jampacked due to @ETHIndiaco. What made it even better was the @0xStackr hackerhouse with all the exciting conversations and brainstorming sessions!

@dayitva_goel is an artist with his code and a great teammate! It was a fun sesh hacking!

@nizam_sp I've always wondered how you initially had the infra setup to track trains live? Was it provided by IRCTC / Indian Railways or did you devise a hack? Or is it publicly available and we all are missing out on it?

@swatntra_anuj This is so disrespectful towards these people. They would have known Java, Python, Rust, Golang and everything else if they had had the opportunity.

@sidhant_sarthak @TimesNow @_kritika_tiwari I doubt she'll reply. If not anything, this dude just deserves that credit.

But guess, who's gonna get the promotion?

CBSE’s May 2025 tender required answer sheets to be scanned with automatic robotic scanners, spines preserved, at a minimum of 300 DPI.

The tender re-issued in August quietly removed all of it. “Scanners” became generic. Resolution dropped to 200 DPI.

Now we know what that meant in practice. It has been exposed that COEMPT scanned the answer sheets using mobile phones.

The blurred copies, the missing pages, the unscanned books - they are not “errors.” They are the predictable outcome of a contract written to fit a vendor.

This is fraud. And every child whose marks were wrongly evaluated is a victim of it.

This morning, the Prime Minister had time to speak about mangoes. He has not had time to speak about 18.5 lakh children whose answer sheets were scanned with phones.

Dharmendra Pradhan ji still sits in office.

Modi ji’s silence is no longer indifference. It is complicity.

@sanyayyyy This is not right. India is not 70%+ vegetarian. It is at max 40% vegetarian!

@Nithin0dha Just to add - there's also a State Archaeological Museum in Kolkata, which is equally deserving of attention and tells a lot about the history of the region too

@MrSen2006 Nice use of AI. Just add this to your prompt the next time, "maintain consistency in the text that you add to banners and only use words that make sense in regular english"

@RahulGandhi You are literally in alliance with them at the National level. What kind of alliance is this which cannot protect a party worker? Can you not seek answers from your alliance partner?

@sougat18 @GarimaUpreti What do you mean by "facing"? It is not that the fence was uprooted at some point - IT WAS NEVER THERE! Even before TMC was elected in 2011, or the CPI(M) in 1977 or the Congress. The report is genuine, but this is not because of TMC, it is for every home minister that India saw.

@gargipalaskar @socapinc The last pic is from Kolkata, is the first co-work in the city too? Would love to work out from there!

Farmer pays $5–$8 per cow per month.

A New Zealand company puts a solar-powered smart collar on cows.

It tracks location 24/7, health, temperature, chewing activity, breeding.

Farmer just opens a simple app and draws a line on the map.
That line becomes the fence.

As cows approach the boundary, the collar beeps and vibrates.

With one tap, the whole herd moves to fresh grass or the milking shed.

No physical fences. Less labor. Huge cost savings for farmer.

Already on 700k cows across New Zealand, Australia, and the US.

and now in talks to raise at a $2B valuation led by Peter Thiel.

@CommenterSerial Wasn't the land given away as a part of a public lottery? How would that have played out if it was designed for the bureaucrats and elites?

@IndianTechGuide Are they this late to announce or are you late to report?
