Some organization do fund Hamas with the money they collect in name of charity. Some charities are exclusively created for this purpose.

A blanket ban is still not the answer. We need better ways to separate genuine charities from terror outfits.

I am irreligious and athiest. But I still trust Ramakrishna Mission and I think you can specify that you don't want your money spent on religious activities.

Just so you know, Akshaya Patra is also part of ISKCON, the Harekrishna people in the US. They are headquartered not far from my home, and they are trustable in this regard.

For the non-Indians, the above is very very very uncommon. These are spread after the incidents to save face.

Whatever you do, do not donate to the PM Cares Fund. It's transaction is supposed to be open to the public, but it is not. Requests made to Right To Information Act was denied every time. So please stay away from it.

Here are some suggestions-

1. Gunj - active in very rural and remote areas

2. Akshaya Patra - currently involved in feeding the poorest of the poor

3. Ramakrishna Mission - Religious organization but honest as hell in serving those in need

4. Red Volunteers - They are volunteers from the Communist Party doing amazing work, as is covered in media and seen by me, but they don't have a centralized payments system

5. CM funds of some states are tranparent, but I would stay away. States like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Odisha come to mind.

I would suggest Ramakrishna Misiion and Akshaya Patra as I have seen their work first hand. And you would find it easy to donate to them.

No it is not.

Used to be true a century ago, to a lesser extent- half a century ago. Not anymore.

I have watched all of Naren Shankar's Expanse. It was revived by Amazon, and quite nicely. There are very few complaints among the fans, if any at all.

If and when the shit would hit the fan on a global scale, you will see everything exists- biological weapons, gas weapons, "inhumane" weapons of mass destruction, you name it.

Every major player has these and will show them when there is a global war.

Treaties do shit.

A slightly unrelated example: There are major laws that you can't kill a journalist in your embassy. But did those stop it from happening?

The best fake-detecting model detecting fakes generated by the best generator model will always lag behind the latter model.

Do you have a blog or some sort of writeup?

Along with stylus support.

Nothing is perfect. But if Notion had stylus support and a Linux native client (even Electron), it would be perfect to me.

They said in Twitter that stylus support is a priority, but no plans yet for a Linux client.

And, the Android app is quite clunky, not as good as Android native Notes apps.

"in-app purchases ade through the App Store"

This is creepy.

> Further research is needed so we can figure out who is most at risk and how long this arterial stiffness sticks around for, but the findings largely match other long-term studies which report vascular changes that can last for up to three months and are not associated with the severity of COVID-19 symptoms.

This is just Modi stalling outer competition so that his friend and big donor to his party Ambani can bring similar products to market.

They tried a lot of shenanigans against Amazon so that Ambani's Reliance Digital can gain ground, but it has been a losing fight.

The developed world of today did everything as they saw fit when they saw fit. They did not have to worry about global warming or any other issues.

Now that they are developed, it is unjust and unfair of them to say, "Hey we polluted the world in the first place, and became developed. Now you must put climate before development and remain underdeveloped".

As I see it, developed nations should reduce emission much below their goals so that countries like China, India, Indoneshia, and Brazil can prosper.

You cannot just say- remain poor because climate. We are rich and we brought this situation.

Duckduckgo does some kinds of shenanigans with images that appear as a result of an NSFW search.

I don't even use Facebook.

As I use Samsung, Facebook comes pre-installed and cannot be uninstalled. I clear the data and cache, uninstall updates, and then disable the app.

I have gotten rid of Whatsapp from my primary phone and kept it in a small and old android phone where I do nothing and touch once a month.

I use Instagram and FB once in a blue moon inside Firefox's FB container, or, Brave browser.

No Facebook, no Facebook tracking.

In Palestine, it is always a two-sided thing.

Al Jazeera is an anti-non-Muslim news media which shares everything happening against Muslims, and when the Muslims are the perpetrators, they are silent.

And even when non-Muslims strike back on something started by the other side, they run to cover that.

In some places innocent Muslims are persecuted and the party at fault should be exposed by media. And "stricking back" is not civilized and I do not condone it. Even after all these, I honestly believe that Al Jazeera seriously lacks honesty and transparency.

> It has ordered Facebook to review the decision and "justify a proportionate response" that is applied to everyone, including ordinary users.

Are they serious? "Ordinary users" cannot mobilize thousands to storm the capital or spread mask propaganda at a massive scale.

The sheer amount of people that can be afected by Trump, the scale of it- warrants extraordinary measures to prevent him.

I am very happy with Colab Pro, too.

Upper middle class people from high GDP countries do have the choice. There are many opportunities where a talented individual will make more than enough.

But what about people from countries like India? Talented people will jump in in a heartbeat. And I have never ever known any person who has turned down Google or Facebook's offer with US/EU posting. Even people coming from _very_ privileged families.

Knowing India, this is justified to me.

We are talking about money-making applications here. Not progress.

I have seen real people using FAANGMULA in official documents in real life. Some people don't care about the ring.

U, L, and A are Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb.

India has very reliable Post Office banks. Although the interest rate is low, the money there is safe. It serves a huge amount of people, especially in rural areas and underprivileged people. Speed Post is very reliable as well.

> India has the largest Postal Network in the world with 154,965 Post Offices (as on 31.03.2017) of which 139,067 are in the rural areas. At the time of independence, there were 23,344 Post Offices, which were primarily in urban areas. Thus, the network has registered a seven-fold growth since Independence, with the focus of this expansion primarily in rural areas. On an average, a Post Office serves an area of 21.56 Sq. Km and population of 7753 people.

It also provides safe, steady jobs to a lot of people.

Only an American will think about killing off the Post Office.

Or longer frequency i.e. shorter wavelength?

When rules are made by the Brahmins, what do you expect?

But Buddhism does recognize human rights.

I was just reading some days ago how Buddhist emperor Ashoka the Great abolished discriminating policy of a Brahmin never being punished to death irrespective of the nature and severity of the crime while it was allowed for other castes.

Buddhism is one of the rare religion that does not recognize divine rights of kings. In Buddhist mythology a king is like everyone else who merely gets 1/6th of the harvest and maintains peace and protects from external threats. He is jist another man. Christinaity and Islam, on the other hand, do vastly believe in divine rights of kings.

The aspect of Hinduism that you mention was actually practiced, but the inner core of Philosophy tells the division among men emanate from their quality and practice. Birth does not matter. But, in mythology, when a low caste man named Shambuka tried to study the Vedas, the Ramayana epic king and Vishnu incarnation Rama murders him.
