> Flipkart, Zomato, Swiggy are Indian companies with apps completely developed in India.

AFAIK Flipkart is actually not an Indian company. It is registered in Singapore.

What about BJP ticking/checking out election manifesto one by one and delivering. While Congress is just whining about everything with their ClownPrince pappu on the helm.

People must vote for progress.

> Rather than including a facility for assembling the tunnel lining (out of multiple segments) inside the TBM, complete rings are inserted at the insertion shaft, and the whole tunnel is jacked forward one segment at a time.

This seems inefficient.

யொவ் யார் வெனா யார வெனுமுன்னா stupid சொல்லலாம். அப்படி சொன்னா அது உண்மை ஆகாது.

Most often difference of opinion arises due to understanding or rather misunderstanding. And misunderstanding arises due to the language or linguistic barrier.

It takes intelligence to see through the language barrier and to understand someone. Just disagreeing and calling someone stupid shows one's own intellectual deficiency.

morekozhambu··on World's Writing Systems
Actually Brahmi is not just a writing system but a family of scripts.

All Indic writing systems today are decedents of Brahmi.

morekozhambu··on An FDA for Algorithms?
Wouldn't that put unnecessary regulations + bureaucracy into the path of innovation?

Like copyrighting/patenting algorithms and ever-greening comes to my mind. Though anyone with a PC can comeup with a kickass algo, while not the same as coming up with a blockbuster drug.

This is what it says for DOGE!!

"Such shit, very coin, but HODL for that yearly pump"

morekozhambu··on So long GitHub and thanks for all the fish
I think MS finds FOSS as the cancer not just Linux.

How can a software exist free to use/modify/share and hit them hard on their own turf. It is the anti-thesis of MS. How will they allow it to exist?

> Imagine that: the irritating, snot-nosed Subandhu from school shares his name with an ancient Middle Eastern prince. Goosebumps. (Sorry, Subandhu).

That is an insult and stereotyping.

morekozhambu··on Firefox marketshare revisited
I was a firefox fan until recently. I guess it was firefox 51 or so and I switched to chromium purely for usability and performance sake. The page loading and bookmarks management was horrible at that point. Not sure how it is now.
morekozhambu··on The Bibighar Massacre: The Darkest Days of the Indian Rebellion of 1857
To be even fairer, Could you please enlighten us on for what country or region where the British, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French were searching for, further to the African tip the 'cape of good Hope' perhaps?
morekozhambu··on The Bibighar Massacre: The Darkest Days of the Indian Rebellion of 1857
You truly need to read my comment again. As you yourself accept in yr reply.. I mentioned the UNINVADED south of India.

PS. I do know about the Turk and Mughal works in India. Also the Portuguese British and French occupations.

morekozhambu··on The Bibighar Massacre: The Darkest Days of the Indian Rebellion of 1857
Contrary to your confirmation bias, India has seen cultural movements without swords guns or bloodshed.
morekozhambu··on The Bibighar Massacre: The Darkest Days of the Indian Rebellion of 1857
That is the point. I guess in Western ideology definition of CONTROL over a land is through swords, guns and bloodshed.

The Mughals never had the south because their culture was alien to most of the uninvaded south of india.

But before them the whole of India, Pakisthan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Burma, Indonesia, Tibet, China were all culturally the same. I would even go further to say considerably most of the regions are still culturally the same.

Is there any list on the lives that were taken by the colonial swords and guns?

morekozhambu··on 9th Circuit: It’s a crime to visit a website after being told not to visit it
Hmm. Is having 'robots.txt' a requirement. What if one just changes the terms and conditions page? Can the bot figure out it just committed a crime?

Does this apply to google bots and other spiders/crawlers?

From my comment, which you apparently didn't read:

> considering autopsy is done on every body

what I meant was, even if every body is autopsied, it wouldn't make sense
