For an example of how "one political faction" can manufacture trends, check this out - https://twitter.com/Kirangandhi/status/1188354450458468352 . They contact famous personalities (in this case athletes

Third rate Indian suppliers? I’m not sure if you’re implying that the price is low or the quality is poor. If it’s the latter, you don’t know much about Indian pharma companies. Btw, Indian pharma companies selling high quality anti retro v

Case in point, the fascists in India became very concerned about Trump being deplatformed. They decried it as a lack of tolerance, because they knew there’s no difference between what Trump does and what they do.

How racist do you have to be to equate people in Chinatown with the virus? At a time when there were less than 10 cases in the US, the risk of visiting Chinatown was minimal. And it's curious that you focus on Chinatown in February ins

I think the 2020 experience has taught us a bit more about people. 9/11 was horrifying and traumatising, but perhaps less because of the death toll (3000) and more because you could see footage of those people dying, played over and o

How?! After reaching 100 million searches in a month, Google should stop serving search queries? How weird would that be? If you’ve already reached your 30% cap, what incentive do you have to improve your service?

This is such weird regulation. Rather than set rules for a level playing field it seeks to dictate outcomes. Telling payment providers that they can’t exceed 30% of total payments is as absurd as telling Apple or Samsung to not exceed 30% o

Yeah it’s a great business to be in. As long as the climate doesn’t change, you’ll be pumping out electricity from a plant at an unbeatable price - since there’s no input apart from maintenance costs. How long do solar panels last before yo

Bruh did you miss the part where OP said “developing world”? They’re talking about projects in India, where the grid looks very different from the US grid.

I’ve had this question for a long while but no one to ask it to. You might have the expertise required to answer it. When I see new solar projects that have tendered absurdly low prices, are the bidders bidding with today’s solar prices or

The point the others are making isn’t about your standard of living, but your compensation. If you hadn’t been tied to a single employer, maybe you would have gotten a job with an employer who paid more. You would have been able to reach yo

According to ground realities. In a well functioning representative democracy, voters will kick out politicians/administrations that don’t represent their interests well. So if you want to be the one politician that values non-citizens

I flagged this comment for being obtuse and accusing a person of a crime when they just want privacy. Nor can they use ignorance as an excuse - they're Indian.

I've never had any trouble discussing this with European and American colleagues or owning up to my own privilege. But I can see how many Indians would find it awkward to talk about, especially if they think that the caste system is on

To be fair, it requires a lot self awareness and external education to learn about your own privilege and how difficult (relatively) other people have it. It's not easy.

For people who discuss this with Indian co-workers - don't be surprised if they find this bizarre or far fetched. For most upper caste folks, it appears as if the caste system doesn't exist because they've never been at the

This isn't an argument over say Italian vs French cuisine. That's undecideable. This is an extraordinary claim that by taking Indian food to the UK, stripping it of it's spice to suit the locals somehow made it better. It&#x2

“Obviously” the King of Breakfasts? I’ve eaten the Full English. I’ve also eaten Idli-Vadai-Pongal-Chutney-Sambhar and I prefer the latter. There’s nothing objectively better here. We prefer what we grew up eating.

You’re being heavily downvoted but I can’t imagine by who or why. Certainly not by people who’ve eaten Indian food in both India and the UK. While there are a few good restaurants, most Indian restaurants in the UK are bland beyond reason,

India's economy won't be affected by the loss of PUBG. But it will without certain critical parts of the manufacturing supply chain. I don't know what those parts are, but the Chinese govt will know. A good example of this in

The world is much more inter-connected than it was then. The cost of a war with China is orders of magnitude more than the cost of a war with Germany. In fact, for the first several months of WWII, British and French citizens barely noticed

It is not. Steam has lower prices in some countries. Factorio sells for the equivalent of $12 in India while it sells for $30 elsewhere. Most games are similarly discounted. That said, someone who buys it from Steam can't gift the game

See my points about undue influence by the BJP over the Court. Realistically this influence meant there was no other decision those judges could take, even though it was ridiculous to award land based on "fervent religious belief"

I asked you to be more specific and you've dismissed it as "just my opinion". It's impossible to respond to that. Good day.

Quick summary of the situation in India - In 2014, Narendra Modi was elected Prime Minister on a plank of "development for all". Since the BJP's pedigree was one of Hindu nationalism (aka Hindutva), this was a change welcomed

If you have a specific issue with what GP said, please state it. Vague accusations are impossible to respond to. If your contribution is "people are biased", that's not too helpful.
