Is there any way to coerce the Indian government to take action on this?
Looking at YouTube videos where these scammers literally run corporate offices to steal from old and financially vulnerable people is heartbreaking.
>It's the same, until one day India will discover that Russia is useless against China and the US and the West are not. And then there will be a realignment. When it happens it won't be about any fancy ideals, it'll just be interests realigning.
This binary choice of aligning and then trapping oneself into being subservient to one sides is exactly what India is trying to avoid.
Ukraine may be fending off Russians with help of the west and may even push Russia all the way back, but their families, cultural & human capital, infrastructure are all being eroded, significantly. Future generations of Ukraine will have to pay this debt.
India voluntarily making a choice which would bring it in the cross-hairs of China or the West would be a catastrophic failure of imagination.
It appears Dev and other such productivity users are a byproduct sales category for most display manufacturers. Gamers don't want 4K+ because their GPUs can only handle 1440 at ultra pro max quality, and TV customers are not interested in smaller displays because, you know, what she said.
Looks like we'll have to wait till GPUs can do 4K@120 to enjoy good monitors :)
The assumption here is that Chinese banks operate with only a profit movie. Things don't work that way in China, the CCP could compel one or more Chinese banks to co-operate if it serves their geopolitical interests.
China would be keen on establishing and testing an alternative to SWIFT & CHIPS, the US stranglehold on financial systems, as they know the US would use it serve her geopolitical interests.
Looking at the number of countries sanctioned, there is no dearth of customers.
This reminds of Borg from Star Trek, more you use your weapons against them, faster they adapt.
I relate so much to this.
Star Trek shaped a lot of my world view. I wish we had more TV shows like that today.
But then, looking at some comments here cheering suffering of others and passing judgement reminds me of the episode 'encounter at far point', maybe Q was right after all.
Where was your conscience when innocents of other countries were being killed?
- Didn't the US kill innocents in all its wars?
- Didn't the Saudi's kill innocent journalists?
- Isn't Israel killing innocent Palestinians?
- Isn't China killing innocents in Xinjiang?
- Even innocents have lost their lives in my own country in the name of religion.
I have been donating to Ukraine's cause since this war started, but I will gladly move my business away from your company.
This reminds me of Shashi Tharoor's [0] speech at Oxford Union.
It is a bit rich to celebrate UK's democracy as 102 years old when they were practicing colonization and slavery less than a human lifetime ago (75 years), isn't it?
It has nothing to do with religion IMO.
Education is given a lot of importance in southern India, that could have helped a tiny bit, but apart from that I don't see how it is relevant.
Dr Abdul Kalam is widely revered in India for his contributions to rocket propulsion, pretty sure he was good at math & physics as well.
India is a young country with a 1.4B population, with a lot of engineers. I know the quality can vary from gemstones to tombstones but there is an active tech community.
>This might sound elitist but it's probably a good idea that C2C apps get their first batch of users and community leaders from high income countries before branching out to the rest of the world.
Wouldn't it be easier to understand how the brain works and transfer intelligence and consciousness into silicon (by emulation?) rather than try the reverse?
We know our bodies age and die whereas sustaining a computer for 100s of years via a part replacements is quite doable.
In conventional web wasn't the same war fought as 'net neutrality' ?
All packets are equal.
Pardon me if I am wrong, I don't understand web3 or crypto much but what you describe looks like a capitalist version of Internet where processing of every request depends on one's ability to pay. If this is the future, history has already taught us that it is bound to fail.
