@sandygrains Why don't they have CC TV footage in the hallway to know who went into the examination room?

[Deedy @deedydas]

A 19-year old broke into India's largest high school examination system of 2M+ students a year, the CBSE, and was able to view and CHANGE any students' marks.

He responsibly wrote to the team 3 months ago, and it took them 3 days to fix only one of the issues. Today, they took the entire website down.

This is a absolute embarrassment. The futures and lives of millions rests in the hands of the utterly incompetent. There is also no mass media reporting on the matter.

This topic is close to me because not only is this the education system I went through, but 12 years ago and silently for 5yrs since, I'd written about and reported a much less severe vulnerability allowing me to scrape these results too. More than a decade later, not much has changed.

This 19yo, Nisarga Adhikary, wrote a great piece outlining each vulnerability he reverse engineered:
- the master password leak
- the client-side 2fac / OTP validation workaround
- tokenless access to the entire internal app (dashboard, evaluator details, etc) setting dummy browser values
- changing any password without knowing the old one
- an IDOR vuln allowing you to act as any user and edit exam marks

For those interested in a beautiful study in security breaches, this is a must read (link below).

If there's any light at the end of the tunnel, it's that a 19yo who never went to college can do things 99% of top engineers couldn't figure out.

Friendly reminder, Hinton is the same guy who told us this:

"We should stop training radiologists now. It's just completely obvious that within five years, deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.".

That was six year ago.

He was right about the AI. Wrong about the job.

AI already reads scans better than any human. Six years after this nonsense prediction we have more radiologists. That's because Hinton and many others just fundamentally misunderstand that tasks are not jobs and that the job of a radiologist is also interacting with patients, being a light in darkness, providing hope and warmth and care and a thousand other things.

Again we need to stop listening to these folks.

I cannot say it enough, just because this fellow is brilliant with AI does not mean he has any clue how it will impact society. None. Zero.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Brigadier VK Joshi, 70, served the Army for three decades, survived war and multiple counterinsurgency operations, but lost his life to a stray bullet in a pointless clash between a group of urban dehatis.

A Delhi-registered Fortuner overtook a Scorpio N on Mussoorie Road in Dehradun, which hurt the ScorpioN occupants ego. The ScorpioN occupants gave chase. When the Fortuner didn’t yield, the ScorpioN group of urban dehatis pulled out a pistol and started firing.

At that very moment, Brigadier Joshi was out on his morning walk. A bullet from that reckless exchange found him. His friends rushed him to the hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival.

A life of service ended by someone else’s arrogance. As far as the urban dehatis are concerned, I'm sure they'll be out on bail in no time.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

1. New Biz in 10 years = ONE, paints
2. Group R&D % of sales = .3%-.6%
3. Grasim VSF cost=15% higher than China
4. Ultratech profitability = distribution muscle = higher prices

Indian elite revels in its mediocrity like a dung beetle on a mound of excrement.

[The Better India @thebetterindia]

At the banks of the Ganga in Patna, trash was once routine.

Then Shubham Kumar chose to return home — and show up every Sunday.

From a handful of volunteers to 1,100+ changemakers.
1.4 lakh+ kgs plastic cleared.
98% drop in thermacol.
16,000 livelihoods revived.

From Ranchi to Varanasi — the movement grows.

Because cities don’t transform overnight.
They change when someone bends down… and picks up the first bag.♻️

@RnaudBertrand India has a similar system wherein anyone can walk into the hospital and see a Neurosurgeon, or two if they want. It certainly speeds up things if the patient needs a specialist but it also encourages unnecessary procedures

while i ride, ai agent runs in near real time, flags violations, and proof with location & no plate goes straight to police.

blr people - so now ride safe… or regret it.

Wow! I hope the @AndhraPradeshCM takes a cue to fix the museum in Nagarjuna sagar, it is one of the most poorly maintained places!

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

The return of the sacred Piprahwa relics associated with Bhagwan Buddha after over a century is a moment of pride, reverence and cultural connect. Here are the highlights from today’s programme.

[Rohan Jahagirdar @rohanjdr]

All the kids on Reddit who want better treatment of the gig workers will wince in pain if one of these platforms increases the prices by a trifle -- even if it is purely to help the delivery workers. Everyone wants duniya ka bhala, but not on their dime!

[Deepinder Goyal @deepigoyal]

Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s the only engine we’ve seen that creates value. Create first, and distribute second. Reverse the order, and we distribute scarcity. Helps no one.

[Rohan Jahagirdar @rohanjdr]

And politicians would do well to inculcate it

[Tejasvi Surya @Tejasvi_Surya]

Delivered a talk on ‘Social Harmony - Fundamental to National Security’ at Gogte College of Commerce in Belagavi today.

Highlighted how National security is not determined by military strength alone, but also comes from the unity and mutual trust among people.

In today’s era of hybrid warfare, there are multiple examples of hostile forces taking advantage by creating internal divisions through misinformation, promoting radical ideologies and instigating indirect conflicts weakening societies from within. Bharat must stay vigilant & tackle these challenges with diplomacy & might.

Organised by Forum for Integrated National Security, the event brought together several students & thinkers today.

Sharing some glimpses from the event.

Discovered recently @tmkrishna's renditions of Ashoka's edicts. Oh, what joy it has been to listen to them! Thank you 🙏
