@Abhishe46668548 @aravind Obviously Each room in my home has electronic locks also and they all have manual keys. Though we have lost the keys by now.

@AkarshSachdeva @aravind From inside, it shouldn't require key. Defeats the purpose of exiting quickly

One crucial aspect of this tragedy is that they had electronic locks on their gates. Due to the fire and intense heat, these locks malfunctioned, trapping them inside. The LPG cylinders burst later. If you're using electronic locks, beware of this danger. Physical key is a must.

@yoursimmo11 Stop eating half a tube of toothpaste a day. Your dentist didn't guide you on proper usage of fluoride toothpastes.

I used Colgate, a fluoride-based toothpaste, twice a day, every day since I was a child. Little did I realize that Fluoride competes with iodine at thyroid receptor sites. Same receptors and direct competition. Your thyroid needs iodine to produce T3 and T4. Fluoride blocks the door. You're delivering a thyroid-suppressing chemical through the most absorbent tissue in your body. Twice daily. And your dentist told you it was essential. Hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralizes teeth without touching your endocrine system. Been around for decades. Japan uses it as standard.

@a16z I believe the next frontier is bridging the gap between digital and biological domains.

Unconventional AI CEO Naveen Rao on the incredible energy efficiencies of biological systems relative to technology: "Biology sort of started small, figured out some basic principles, and those principles scaled. So the efficiency came first." "What we've done is actually the inverse. We've brute forced our way through it, throwing everything we possibly could, and now we're understanding, 'Oh actually I didn't need to do all of that, there's a lot of things I can keep chipping away at, and I can go smaller, and smaller, and smaller.'" "Just to kind of put it in perspective — biology, through this process of kind of the bottoms-up — a squirrel runs on 10 milliwatts of energy. Your cell phone runs on about one watt." "10 milliwatts, and it can do things at precision levels that we cannot do in a megawatt. I can't make a robot jump between branches in the wind and hit the branch perfectly a thousand times out of a thousand right now. I can't do it." @NaveenGRao @unconvAI

@MuraliSrinivasa I think the bigger problems with Indian counterparts are tooling and vertical integration. The comprehensive nature of JLC’s tools makes it unskippable. I still try to use local fabs (especially lion circuits) as much as possible. Forwards is the only way.

Our entire country's 🇮🇳 production of bare pcb is equivalent of jlc capacity. If you take only multilayer, than its worse than this. Jlc is not even in the top 50 in 🇨🇳. Let that sink in... China was closed for 15days last month, we were overbooked by 3-4x and we couldn't get the machines for the bottleneck process on time. Raw materials, capital goods everything has to come from 🇨🇳 and it takes time. Factory in china can get these machines in 7 days to expand, we need to wait atleast 45-60 days. What you see as an outcome is delays! Because most of the people serach for 🇮🇳 fab during Chinese New Year and Chinese equivalent of dushera season. Most of the fabs in India run overcapacity during this time. We have grown by more than 3x this year and we remain focused on solving problems that we have,(delay being the major one) We have also made great progress on our new 10x larger new plant and hope we handle the next season better. Thanks for your support and patience. Always grateful 🙏

@elonmusk @iam_smx While I don’t generally prefer poking my nose into American politics, I find AOC to be one of the funniest characters out there.

@iam_smx *trillioniare

AOC with zero life achievements: "Elon Musk is not a scientist, he’s not an engineer, he’s a billionaire conman with a lot of money" 🤡 Elon Musk: "Can you believe it? That's crazy, anyway... what did you get done this week?"

@mynkdzgn @sharktankindia Pathetic and dishonorable

This is the condition of freelancing in India. I don’t usually use X for this. But sometimes you have to speak up so other freelancers don’t walk into the same trap. Around August 2025, I worked on a project with Honey Veda (they also appeared on @sharktankindia ) The workflow was standard: 50% upfront, 50% after delivery Everything was delivered fully documented and completed. After delivery, the person I was directly working with this guy Vivek Rajoria — suddenly changed the narrative. The project was apparently “not complete” anymore, despite receiving 100% of the deliverables. Then the classic move started: Ghosting. Delays. “Talk to the CEO Hardik Joshi instead.” The CEO Hardik Joshi apparently hardly have time to check his email, whatsapp, and all the communication media, even a cellular call. Must be an extremely busy schedule lol. After months of chasing a payment that was already earned, I eventually gave up for my own mental peace. That was 7 months ago. Today something unexpected happened. They accidentally added me to their SEO strategy call that was meant for another freelancer. I joined the call, greeted everyone normally. They said I was added by mistake. But since the CEO was on the call, I thought it was the perfect time to ask about the pending payment. The moment I started speaking: The CEO instantly left the call, then Vivek Rajoria started abusing me, and then he left the call as well. Professionalism at its finest. Fortunately, I recorded the call. The video below shows exactly how the conversation went. I’m posting this for one reason: Freelancers deserve to be paid for work they deliver. If you’re working with HoneyVeda, make sure your payment terms are protected. Learn from my mistake.

@chiragbarjatya Bullshit

Everyone is blaming carbs and lack of exercise in the replies and quotes. But that’s not the reason. You should ask why they eat in large quantities and why they don’t exercise. Solely because we are still recovering from our poverty during independence and famine fear. Many of you can’t control after seeing food or seeing “free” food (e.g., Rameshwaram Mumbai) or 1100₹ lifafa wedding or hotel buffet because your genes are telling you “bro hog today what if there is no food tomorrow” And hence “khate peete ghar ka” and “ye thoda healthy hai” terms were coined. Malnutrition is still very evident in our country and people with a big tummy or overall huge body fat are considered from well to do family. I hope I didn’t fat-shame anyone in this thread.

This is Abu Dhabi. Those who can’t leave hotels are now being given free stay. Those stranded at airports well looked after. In India, hotel and flight prices would have doubled. #ABUDHABI

Let’s thank Mr. Nehru as well He gave extraordinary autonomy to our scientists. All the while he maintained non-alignment which allowed India to receive nuclear cooperation from multiple blocs AND refusing to sign treaties limiting future nuclear options. He explicitly ensured the infrastructure created at the time had dual-use capabilities. He never said he wanted nuclear defense capabilities but strategically lead towards it.

Thank you Vajpayee ji for risking sanctions and global isolation to make India a declared nuclear weapons state despite pressure from the US Thank you Indira Gandhi for authorising the first nuclear test in 1974 and demonstrating India’s nuclear capability to the world And thank you Homi Jehangir Bhabha for building the scientific and institutional foundations that made it all possible Can’t imagine how we would safeguard and defend our sovereignty today without them nukes

UAE has given us NRIs a lot over the years. Secure and stable environment, clean food, infrastructure and much more. While I am not in Dubai right now due to business matters, I wish I was. At a time like this, my full support and allegiance remains with the UAE. Same I extend towards my country India as well. Running away during difficult times is pretty distasteful IMO.

@prakdadlani As a UAE resident myself, I can say overall UAE has given incredible opportunities and stable environment for growth, not just economic but personal as well. Zero empathy arises out of ignorance and no significance in the larger world. Best ignored.

Disgusted at the zero empathy posts mocking people in UAE and Middle East. My mother, sister, and extended family are in Dubai, I myself am a UAE resident These countries have given countless Indians real opportunities to build lives, careers and futures. They have shown us love and respect and given millions the chance to flourish and send money back home. Hard working expats without a doubt love Bharat more than crab mentality, jealous, insecure, good for nothings sitting safe behind a screen talking shit and cracking jokes about missiles and chaos. Mocking any human suffering is low. Be better, show decency, or shut up. if you can’t do even that then GO FUCK YOURSELVES. Praying hard for all in the Middle East. Be safe, be strong. This too shall pass

@akshaymarch7 Education system as we knew it is already finished. Most folks haven’t realized it yet.

Spending 4 years in a private engineering college is literally a waste of your money today.

Honest advice: Let’s try to understand what is happening. He lost his job and was unable to find another. That prolly means multiple rejection. For men, poor lifestyle, rejections, loss of prestige results in huge down regulation of Testosterone and Dopamine. From there it is extremely hard to pull oneself out. Your husband is facing these and doesn’t say it. Solution (and trust me on that): Accompany him to a decent gym. Start slow. Make him do heavy powerlifting style workouts. In a few months his T will rise and the male drive to do something in life will rekindle. Key rules - Start slow and carefully - No chasing reps or abs. Powerlifting style training routine This is time for you to be strong and supportive. I sincerely hope he acknowledges your efforts once this is all over.

My husband has been jobless for over 2.5 years. He just sits with his laptop all day, does nothing around the house, and is gaining weight. I’ve lost all patience. It’s not even about money anymore — it’s hard to watch him do nothing. I have a decent job, but not enough to save. I scream out of frustration. I’m scared for my 8-year-old son. What should I do? Scared

Whenever i have to go to any hospital & end up in the food court, it disgusts me to my core. Anyways, due to my work, eating unhealthy felt like unavoidable. Until…I detached the fuel from food. Started carrying protein bars, olive oil, ghee mix, whey + casein mix, boiled eggs, some berries etc. Better than eating unhealthy.

The worst part of being an Intern or resident in a government medical college is that you can’t eat right. You have access to only biryani or chicken rice or deep fried samosa, batata wada, bread pakora, cold coffee, pastries and donuts. Once you eat this you will face indigestion issues, heart burn The taste is pathetic and definitely there is no nutrional value. You will be constipated. Or you will get food poisoning. Other options we have this small stalls around the hospital which is so unhygienic that most of our classmates have suffered food poisoning. But we still continue to eat there. Why? No option brother. We dont have any option. We barely have sometime to eat so quicky eat whatever ready and easily available and run back to ward,opd, ot or wherever needed. Major reason for doctors to be unhealthy and have that belly fat. Feel bad for doctors because they can’t help it. They are only to advice you to lose weight.

@0nlyk1tt3n Video seems to be real. Why no safety bars? so stupid!! Stay safe guys.

not sure

@abhiandniyu Basic: Only allow formally proven educated individuals to run for elections at all levels. Bonus: Only appoint domain experts or scholars on important positions such as IAS, raise minimum age limit and work experience requirements

if you could FIX one thing about India, as a citizen, what would you fix?

Are you pointing this out descriptively or actually advocating for harsher sentencing? Given the context it seems like the latter. Even if the recidivism data are accurate, I think it’s natural that young people are more impulsive and that’s exactly why we must prioritize education and rehabilitation. Punishment alone tends to breed resentment more than responsibility.

If we based our sentencing on recidivism data rather than vibes and ideology, youth would be an aggravating rather than a mitigating factor.

All this is arising from the denial that AI will basically make every human job extinct. Not engineers, not coders but every single job possible. It does open up a path towards UBI or a whole reset of financial system. Only researchers, business, sports and a few other fields have relative chance. Everything is interdependent though. Personally I feel doctors are next in line for a huge shock. Anything less than absolute maximum edge is insufficient.

Let me be honest. Right now, a lot of software engineers are not sleeping peacefully. There’s this silent tension in the air… nobody says it loudly, but everyone is thinking the same thing, “What if I’m fired tomorrow?” We all can see what’s happening. Layoffs. Hiring freezes. Fewer openings. Too many good engineers competing for very limited roles. And when the market slows down, the pressure is insane. But what actually worries me more is not the layoffs. It’s the lifestyle we have built around our salaries. I know people who are earning well, but also spending at the same speed. Buying overly expensive flats in Bangalore, HYD, Pune, Gurgaon. Home loans running for 20–25 years. Car loans and even personal loans. EMIs running everywhere. High rent + inflated cost of living. International trips on EMI. Credit Card Bills. Expensive schools for kids. Huge fixed monthly burn. I know people who are earning well, but if the salary stops, they can barely manage 6–8 months without serious stress. That is a scary place to be, even if your resume, skills and experience looks impressive. And the funny thing is, we engineers are so smart when writing code. We handle edge cases. We think about worst case scenarios. We write fallback logic. But in real life, we never have a backup plan? Just think for once, What if you're fired tomorrow? What if the market stays slow for one year? What if your skills become irrelevant? What if you just want to take a break but you can’t because EMI is waiting? I’m not trying to spread fear. I’m just saying let’s be practical. Enjoy your money, yes. You worked hard for it. But don’t increase your fixed expenses so much that your job becomes your only oxygen. Build savings. Keep upgrading yourself. Avoid unnecessary loans. Think long term. Industries go up and down. That’s normal. But your life should not shake during tough times, if it ever happens. We prepare our softwares for failure. Maybe we should prepare our lives also. Isn't it? Just sharing what I’ve been observing around me. Would genuinely like to know, are others feeling this too?
