I don’t know why you are downvoted since your comment is a well formed addition to the discussion. I upvoted you and I am seeing this on HN more often now. That people would use downvote as a signal of disagreement.

Yes, my bad on the GPS/GNSS. Yet on the use cases for this, I don't think India would have ponied up the money for this if it wasn't for the military use. With GPS, Galileo, Beidou and Glonass, the civilian navigation problem

Appeal to Extremes? In a society where we interact with other people we are okay with some information about us being 'out there'. I am okay with you knowing my school, but not that I am uncircumcised. Edit: Not that I am with OP

If I had to guess the conspiracy is that Central government does not want to excavate sites that prove that Sangam culture was greater and earlier than the Northern Indian culture.

As someone who got Hepatitis A from drinking from a mountain stream in deep Himalayas ( however deep you go in India you always have someone above you shitting in the water), I always carry an Iodine tablet with me now.

Counterpoint: Radiohead is a really popular band. I remember seeing a bbc introduction where Pink Floyd were introduced as a ‘pop band’ and you could see the derision on the presenters face.

I have banked with five different banks (private and public) and have never had to face the tight coupling with a particular branch that you talk about? Indian banking system is actually a joy to use compared to the first world systems that

^^I read this a lot on hyperloop forums and articles, but it doesn't really matter. What pressure constitutes a vacuum ? What pressure do you mean by low pressure? Zero pressure(perfect vacuum) is impossible to do in life. So what thes

Copyright on a song or book is like ownership. Imagine a scenario where you mould from clay an amazing aesthetically pleasing shape. Do you think that it should be taken from you after a set time period?

Sure let's have quotas per sq meter of arable land adjusted for number of crops you can grow in a year? Or better still on yield of the soil. Makes more sense than a straight per sq m quota.

I will still make that argument, why should a poor guy living in isolated tribal land in India find his dream of basic electricity a bit farther, while people in Europe can take the moral high ground and still pollute nearly an order of mag

As an Indian and personal supporter of the Indian space program, I don't see this as a feat in the international sense. What was the technological leap? ISRO could have done this few years back as well. Its just that the payload combin

It is always possible to convert to Hinduism. There is no authority that decides if you are Hindu or not. You just are if you believe that you are. Lets I digress. You can be a Hindu today if you want. Just start incorporating Hindu philoso

A classical Kashmiri justification is classifying our exodus as a state sponsored one. However dear sir we made the journey. We should know something about the circumstance. Not the lies that you have been fed. In any case, my first person

Obligatory comment on the ethnic cleansing of the Hindus from the valley. Over 700k Hindus left the valley in 1990 as a result of the Islamic insurgency. These Hindus were original inhabitants of the valley, of the same stock as the Muslims

No one is confused about the death of the river. The problem is clearly with Indian people itself, including me. There is a lot going on at the ground level and there is a lot more that should be done. I used to be as exasperated as you, bu
