Why would you wait for dust to settle down? Just curious. Productivity gains are real in current form of LLMs. Guardrails and best practices can be learnt and self imposed.
Almost none. Even if this situation prolongs, it will only affect the bordering areas in the north.
India cannot afford a war if it wants to grow as it projects itself on the international stage as an alternative to China. Pakistan cannot afford it financially.
It’s not uncommon for Hindus from northern India to worship Sikh Gurus alongside their own deities. Similarly Sikhs often visit Hindu temples. This is generally not seen as unusual.
While there have been some instances of tension between the two communities, things are not as bad as media might suggest.
Maybe it's just my echo chamber but people in India seemed more pro-Trump. This is despite Kamala having Indian roots. People usually take pride when anyone with Indian ancestry doing great on the world stage.
I do drink occasionally but I can go forever without drinking. It doesn’t bother me.
My relationship with smoking is different though. I smoke on occasion but I crave it for the next day or two. If someone told me smoking was healthy, I would start today.
I strongly advise against getting into casual smoking.
Also the post has been editorialised. Sure parties have IT cells doing all kind of things to build narratives, but I am not so sure if there are basis for the inference in this case.
Even if political, I personally expect better on HN.
Last I checked India was home for second largest Muslim population, and population has only been growing, more than other sections of societies in India.
Sure things aren’t same for Muslims post 2014 and people should raise their voice. However for every Muslim atrocity, there is one against Hindus or any other religion. Should we take comfort in that? Absolutely no, but this genocide nonsense is utter rubbish.
This is failure of law and order. What bothered me is how liberal media portrayed these individuals.
The primary identity of individuals killed is undertrials (as you rightly mentioned) or murderers or criminals, and not lawmakers or MPs as portrayed by these headlines.

From the article you shared:
> Russia passes law to jail people for 15 days for 'disrespecting' government
Pick up any 24x7 Indian news channels, and you can find govt being disrespected by half of the panel. Sure that doesn't justify certain action by the govt but I too think, one needs to be in India to understand India.
Modi or no Modi, things have been same as far I recall. Only new we have now is free internet which has amplified everything.
I have same old new year resolutions but past few years, this is what I have been doing.
For the year that passed, I go over my phone photo album, recall key events in life of family members, friends I met, books I read, major purchases, basic fitness parameters (mostly from Apple Watch, weight etc), financial health, progress made in hobbies. I write these down on a paper. Not very detailed though.
Looking back it’s been a great experience to see the life progression.
