Sweden has had a relatively benign govt and people mostly don't use cash. But there is unease with going 100% cashless - what would one do incase the payment system fails? Or if the govt becomes dangerous?

For all its flaws, cash is an extremely reliable and crisis proof alternative. The same cannot be said about digital cash. -

This is concerning.
We've had fast paced technological developments without regard for its negative impact on us. -

We will need to define a Torino scale for the catastrophe that is/will be caused by Aadhaar. #DestroyTheAadhaar

" Terrorism has never been about absolute body counts. It has always been about creating shock and awe to accentuate the helplessness of the state. That is how a nation one-sixth of our economy can engage with us in conflict over decades. And while the principles of this instrument have remained unchanged over centuries, its execution has evolved too rapidly for the state machinery, creating a paradox wherein large nations end up losing small wars."
"Secondly, while we may be obsessed with preventing another 26/11 type of attack, from the ISI’s perspective, there is no need for a second attack. This is not an annual exercise, it’s a single ‘dose’ which ensures the wastage of scarce resources by India for decades to come."

Women dominated computer programming in the early 1950s. During that time, programming was considered as natural to women and it was looked upon more as a clerical job and had low pay. But when salaries started rising, men took over and changed the environment to suit towards their traits and biases.

The demand for Aadhaar number for mobile phones has started! Some people have pointed out that the order has pointed out only "reverification" of mobile phones and disconnection of mobile phones is nowhere mentioned in the DoT order. https://social.systemreboot.net/attachment/56997 -

In defense of Central Board of film certification, who recently refused to award certification for the film 'lipstick under my burkha'

Quote:
"Despite rumors to the contrary, Indians know that women don't masturbate. There are no women who want to have sex just for the sake of sex. No women who want to pick up men, have sex and say thank you, goodbye. (Men do this but women don't.) Everything that women wear each day of their lives is to either please men or provoke them. Women don't have a body independent of how it exists in the minds of men. Every aspect of a woman's life exists for consumption by men. Coming to the board's beef with women using abuses/expletives, I can't believe that experienced filmmakers can be this naive."

Microsoft, the depicable corporation that doesn't think twice about bowing down to dictatorships is now making Skype Aadhaar (an national identity project) enabled. The slope down this lane is orwellian - Indian government can start demanding Aadhaar card for social media accounts in areas of unrest like Kashmir thereby quelling dissent.

This disgusts me on so many levels. That men think that friendship can be demanded from women. Also that assholes who sell women's number as a commodity. Also the lack of respect for privacy.

I've read many reports in twitter about people who could not even buy food because they had their savings in ₹500 or ₹1000 notes and were caught unaware by the sudden announcement. -

This is a stupid ham handed exercise by the present right wing government aimed to satisfy their voter base in some upcoming state elections. I hope it backfires on them big time. -

Yeah. Government banned the existing ₹500 and ₹1000 notes. The stated purpose is to tackle counterfeit money and black money as people hoard undeclared income in high valued currency notes. The impact won't be much because only some some people like small traders, small businesses hold black money as cash. Rest of the people have parked their black money in the real estate sector (which is a big growing bubble) or in tax havens. Also government is issuing new ₹500 and ₹2000 rupee notes, which will make hoarding black money easier in future. So this exercise is only like cleaning a small part of the house once.
But this action is ham handed and has resulted in suffering of millions of poor people who don't have credit/debit cards or even a bank account and who are paid in ₹500 or ₹1000 notes by their employers. Many small grocery vendors are not able to conduct business as many people don't have legal tender now. For one week they are going to suffer a lot. -

Here's a pictograph explaining the ownership of various brands. You'll see some of the products we use there.
Its a large market controlled by a few big corporations.

!til about lemon market - when a buyer is uninformed or has no means to know about the quality of a product he/she is more willing to pay only the average price of a high quality product (peach) and a low quality product (lemon). This drives away high quality good producers and results in a market of inferior quality products (lemon market)

My professor asked me for an offline maps, and I installed OsmAnd~ in his phone. Thanks to an dramatically improved search in OsmAnd~ (quick search), now I can give the app to everyone without reservations.
Also mentioned to him that I cycled around the campus to map for openstreetmaps :)
