@pratiktwts @wanderingalfie2 Ok henceforth we shall call it "Vikram's Law" -- The longer an online discussion proceeds about India(ns) the probability of the slur Pajeet being dropped approaches 1.

@stochasticiyer yen pa Law and order minister oru Iyer. Avara kooda ippadi solliduviya?

[vikram @yammvik]

For most people this is mindblowing quantum leap in temple administration.

For an Iyengar this is another Monday!!!

[Indian Tech & Infra @IndianTechGuide]

🚨 Tamil Nadu rolls out online ticketing system for darshan at all major temples in the state.

[vikram @yammvik]

@stochasticiyer Its a joke pa. HR & CE minister Ramesh is an Ingor adhanaala kang pannein.

[vikram @yammvik]

@Yadavaonenonly @yaajushi Even worse. Bajaj 150 was a clone of Vespa Sprint that was made in 1965!!!

Vespa fixed the 12V electronic coil problem in the 70s itself Bajaj never fixed it in their chetak models till 1998!!!!

FYI Intel founder Robert Noyce wanted to make the 4004 chips in India as India was the one of the few countries to have a semiconductor fab lab back in the 60s!!

But licensiya raj meant they could export only 100 units annually.

Mind boggles at the sheer amount of bad decisions

Economic opportunity was allocated through political connections, licenses, and patronage.
Sanjay Gandhi is a perfect example. Despite having no experience in trade, industry, or automobile, he was fast-tracked to a license to produce what was envisioned as India's people's car.

@IndicPragmatist Michael Dell/Steve Jobs were all big time Indophiles.

Imagine Dell & Apple being headquartered in India Instead of Taiwan/China

Whatever goodwill we had we squandered away with babu/cheap political nautankis.

[vikram @yammvik]

@yaga_simha I don't think anyone did.

That's the point we're all missing.

[vikram @yammvik]

@yaga_simha That's the understanding. 100 chips!!!!

The one profit making entity in that turduken of an eye Pee OO just got its biggest contract suspended.

And other entities have been in their "growth(i.e. massive money losing) phase" for over half a decade with no end in sight.

Short everything!

By 2030, SpaceX will be able to take Humanoid robots to Mars and bring them back. Which would be an amazing achievement. $SPCX

@madras_aale @AgentSaffron She got to medical seat under ST quota. So she's also technically SOTS

Sir, they have blocked access to the very AI models you said we should share instead of build

*Upper/mid

[vikram @yammvik]

Vijay visiting temples this often will make more sense if you've heard of LR Easwari, Joe D'Cruz, Solomon Pappiah & DA Joseph.

Early upper-mid caste converts are more Hindu in praxis & are more sanghi coded than Davidian seethers.

#WATCH | Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay arrives at the Mangaluru International Airport. He will visit the Kollur Sri Mookambika Devi Temple in the Udupi district later today.

Unironically do you think your tuitter account doesn't involve any data centers?

[shrishti @shristhikhanna]

data centres are draining bengaluru’s ground water. right now there are 31 data centres in bengaluru. data centres consume roughly 20 million litres of water EVERYDAY.

where will that water come from because bengaluru has no river and is entirely dependent on groundwater.

more data centres are planned and upcoming. our country will not survive this. the planet will not survive this. we will not survive this.

If essay writing was the criteria to select babus then GPT 2 should be the greatest babu ever.

[Arpita Sharma @ArpitaSharmaaa]

Most aspirants think AIR 1 answers are filled with extraordinary content.

Reality?

Anudeep Durishetty's strength was not writing more. It was writing better-structured answers that an examiner could understand in seconds.

His formula: I-B-C
✅ Introduction
✅ Body
✅ Conclusion

Daryl Cullinan is an almost great batsman.

The only reason he isn't considered an All Time Great is because of his vulnerability to Warne.

[Chenthil @jcrajan00]

India shut down its largest copper smelter in 2018 — Sterlite Tuticorin, 400,000 tonnes/year. Real environmental concerns, real protests, real consequences.

We went from copper exporter to importer overnight. Import bill now roughly ₹35,000 crore/year. And we're building an EV economy that runs on copper — every panel, transformer, charger, motor.

Six years later: no replacement smelter, no cleaner alternative, just a growing import bill. Hindalco's expanding, Adani's entering copper, but the gap is real.

Shutting capacity without building alternatives isn't environmental policy. It's de-industrialization by accident.

@stochasticiyer *one or more of my mamas.

They're two completely different cities though.

They're not competing on the same marketplace either.

MAA is a much more trad city than BLR.

BLR also has grand Karaga festival FWIW.

Bangalore versus Chennai. Bangalore - one of the best airports in the World. Among best weather cities in the world. Great friendly people. Chennai - bus station type airport. Terrible weather. Its not even a comparison. Its like comparing Bay Area with Bangkok.

[vikram @yammvik]

@stochasticiyer One of my mamas is in that pic. Of course I'm gonna pick that!
