Finally, I can proudly say that one of my products has been Acquire’d!! Thanks @acquiredotcom and team for facilitating this! Also, a shoutout to @_buildspace, it was N&W S3 where i started building this! My 2 cents, keep making small bets because they lead the path to big wins

@shantanugoel @Narayani07 To the point!! If you have a said budget for the role, you are also expected to have a bar for the same. If one can cross thay bar, it means they should be entitled to a salary in that budget; expecting that is common sense

I differ on this. What we follow (and has largely worked great, not just at the hiring stage but also in the long term health of the team/company to avoid unnecessary attrition since this ensures there are no disparities and issues later on): - Upfront disclosure of the salary range saves a lot of time for the candidate as well as the company and avoids any mismatches. - Someone gets hired at a position if they clear that bar and everyone clearing that bar and getting hired at that position should get nearly similar amount. - Past salary does not matter. - If the person is way higher than the bar, they may get hired at the next level with the salary of the next level. If the person is below the bar but meeting the bar of one level lower, they may get salary of that level - "may" in the previous one because there may or may not be a possibility to hire them at a level above/lower depending on various factors.

One of the main reasons recruiters hesitate to disclose the budget is that far too many candidates treat it like an MRP sticker on a supermarket shelf. Visualize this: A is earning currently ₹10L. The role's budget is ₹40L. Suddenly, the candidate decides, Budget is ₹40L? Great, I want ₹40L! As if salary is a fixed retail price rather than something tied to your actual skills, experience, and the value you bring to the table. No, the budget isn't a guaranteed payout for anyone who applies. It's the upper limit for someone who truly justifies it. Demanding the full amount just because it exists is like walking into a Ferrari showroom, pointing at the price tag, and insisting you deserve one because your neighbor can afford it. This entitlement is precisely why recruiters and hiring managers often keep the budget close to their chest. Candidates fail to understand that compensation correlates to competence (not just the budget or a specific number) And sharing this figure only invites pointless arguments and unreasonable expectations. Sad.

@ascorpn @theliverdoc Shame on you @ascorpn, trying to claim goodwill points by passing off an AI generated image of payment is the lowest level of morality one can have

@theliverdoc Done my bit , wishing this important project all success 🙌

Good morning! The government recommend that doctors prescribe generics because they are affordable. We already know this. But are they effective and safe? There is literally ZERO transparent data on this. This is why our citizen-led Citizens Generics vs. Branded Drugs Project is going to be the game changer. Funding for this project is ongoing and people have been extremely helpful and supportive. We have now raised approximately INR 20,00,000 for this intense project. You can contribute or ask your friends and family to help support this project that will give us a huge amount of information on quality of major branded and generic drugs in the Indian market. To contribute any amount, please use this link: pages.razorpay.com/GenericvsBrand… Here is a list of all the drugs we have purchased (40 numbers each) for the quality assessment! Thank you once again for keeping this fire alive and burning. Let us do it! Key to abbreviations: JANAUSH = Jan Aushadi, DAVA = Dava India Generics, GENADH = Generics Aadhar, KMSCL = Kerala State Government Generic, BGENERIC = Branded Generics. Rest are local pharmacy available generics or proper (expensive) brands.

In India, corruption isn’t just a problem, it is the biggest business. From the smallest gutter-cleaning contract to billion-dollar highway projects, from garbage tenders to GST refunds, nothing moves without greasing the system. This is not random chaos, it is a perfectly choreographed game of chess. The board is the nation, and the players are businessmen, accountants, bureaucrats, police, politicians, ministers, religious ashrams, judges, media barons, chief ministers, and above them all, the king. Every move is calculated, every sacrifice deliberate, to ensure that the most powerful piece never loses. Corruption in India even runs on targets. From the traffic police department to the tax department, from land revenue to forests, from health to energy, from home ministry to defence, from mining to social welfare, every branch has a “collection goal.” The more an official collects, the more secure his position. The most corrupt are not punished, they are protected and promoted. What shields this rot is not just money or power, but also mindset. A regressive society, blinded by orthodoxy and tradition, is easily manipulated into defending the corrupt. Religious dogma and blind loyalty often serve as a shield, turning corruption into virtue and accountability into blasphemy. This mindset ensures that the corrupt are not only safe but celebrated. Once, at least, the corrupt feared exposure. Today, they are emboldened. The rule of the game is no longer about governance, it is about shielding the corrupt at all costs. To call the government corrupt is too simplistic. The reality is harsher, professional corruption has captured the throne. In India today, corruption has been institutionalized, legalized in practice if not in law. Corrupt officers and leaders behave like gangsters in suits, threatening, intimidating, blackmailing, extorting, and even eliminating obstacles without hesitation. The money flows upward with clinical precision, from the lowest clerk to the highest office. And the illusion is carefully maintained, that it’s just a few officers or a flawed system. No, it is corruption itself that rules. Citizens have not merely elected leaders, they have elected corruption. And who pays the price? The common man, crushed under bribes and broken promises. The honest entrepreneur who dares to dream is punished for his honesty. In this regime, integrity is weakness and corruption is power. Unless this cycle is broken, India will remain a nation where the most profitable business is not technology, not manufacturing, not agriculture, but corruption itself

@BHolmesDev So… @obsdmd ???

🔥 NEW DATABASE JUST DROPPED 🔥 It's this thing called a "file system" apparently. Cross-platform, local first, zero dependencies. Idk if it'll scale though

@mohakmangal wasn’t aware of your game man 👏🏼

@volklub @PetroleumMin We should be very careful of adjusting to this, as it will soon become the new normal. They want to push it just so far so that the baseline (petrol without ethanol) at price X becomes premium at price X++ and the adulterated one becomes the regular at price X

@PetroleumMin Please give us e0 at Rs 150 and keep doing whatever you want. Thanks

📑Some articles/ reports in the media have raised concerns about the potential negative impact of 20% ethanol blending (E20) in petrol, particularly with regard to older vehicles and customer experience. These concerns, however, are largely unfounded and not supported by scientific evidence or expert analysis. ▶️International studies on the effect of using Ethanol-Petrol Blends on Mechanical, Energy and Environmental Performance of Vehicles through testing of carbureted and fuel-injected vehicles every 10,000 km during their first 100,000 km showed statistically no significant differences in power and torque generated and fuel consumption. Material compatibility and drivability tests by Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) and Indian Oil Corporation (R&D) have confirmed that legacy vehicles also showed no significant variations, performance issues or abnormal wear-and-tear when operated with E20. Moreover, E20 fuel passed hot and cold startability tests without any engine damage. ▶️Multiple concerns have been addressed as below: 🔹Fuel efficiency:- Ethanol, being lower in energy density than petrol, results in a marginal decrease in mileage, estimated at 1–2% for four-wheelers designed for #E10 and calibrated for #E20, and around 3–6% in others. This marginal drop in efficiency can be further minimized through improved engine tuning and use of E20-compatible materials, which leading automobile manufacturers have already adopted. In fact, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has confirmed that E20-compliant vehicles with upgraded components began rolling out from April 2023. Thus, the allegation that E20 leads to drastic drop in fuel efficiency is factually incorrect. 🔹Material corrosion:- Safety standards for E20, including corrosion inhibitors and compatible fuel system materials, are well established through BIS specifications and Automotive Industry Standards. Replacement of some rubber parts/ gaskets could be advised in certain older vehicles after prolonged use of say 20,000 to 30,000 kms. This replacement is inexpensive and easily done during regular servicing of the vehicle 🔹Environmental concerns:- Ethanol replaces petrol, a fossil fuel and reduces CO2 emissions. India’s ethanol blending programme is through feedstock diversification. Ethanol is increasingly being produced from not only sugarcane but also from surplus rice, maize, damaged foodgrains, and agricultural residues, especially under the push for second-generation (2G) biofuels. This makes ethanol blending not only technically viable, but environmentally sustainable as well. A study on life cycle emissions of ethanol done by Niti Aayog has assessed that GHG emissions in case of sugarcane and maize based ethanol use is less by 65% and 50%, respectively, than that of petrol. 🔹Benefits: 🔸Ride quality and vehicle performance: Ethanol has a higher octane number than Petrol (~108.5 vs. 84.4) which implies that ethanol-petrol blends have a higher octane number than traditional petrol. Therefore, the use of ethanol becomes a partial alternative for providing high-octane fuels (~95), required for modern high compression ratio engines providing a better ride quality. Vehicles tuned for E20 (having increased RON) deliver even higher performance. Ethanol is also characterized by having a higher heat of vaporization than petrol. This aspect makes the temperature of the intake manifold lower, which increases air-fuel mixture density, therefore increasing the engine’s volumetric efficiency. 🔸E20 blending significantly strengthens India’s energy security by reducing dependence on crude oil imports. In fact, since 2014-15 India has already saved more than Rs. 1.40 lakh crore in foreign exchange through petrol substitution. Ethanol blending supports the rural economy, with expeditious payment of over Rs. 1.20 lakh crore to farmers, thereby creating income and employment opportunities in the agricultural and biofuel sectors. #E20 blending has helped India reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 700 lakh tonnes, contributing to climate change goals. ▶️The claim that this transition is abrupt or poorly communicated does not align with the detailed rollout plans outlined in the Government of India’s Roadmap for Ethanol Blending in India 2020–25, available on the websites of #MoPNG and @NitiAayog since 2021. The implementation of E20 in India has followed a phased and widely consulted approach, involving coordination between ministries, vehicle manufacturers, fuel retailers, standards agencies etc. ▶️Thus, the narrative that #EthanolBlending in Petrol is harming vehicles or causing undue hardship to consumers is not based on real facts and lacks technical foundation. Ethanol blending is a forward-looking, scientifically supported, and environmentally responsible measure that brings multi-dimensional benefits to the nation. @PMOIndia @HardeepSPuri @IndianOilcl @BPCLimited @HPCL @DDNewslive @PIB_India

Hello @BlrCityPolice There has been an incident of two police officers extorting an innocent (Kannadiga) person for a bribe of Rs. 37,000/- in Indiranagar when he had done NOTHING wrong No FIR done by police; only departmental enquiry has started. Threat calls being made (1/9)

@GrahamHelton3 Amazing thread with lots to learn!

Before moving from my role at Google to Snowflake I sat down and did a braindump of all the guidelines that I follow (or followed at one point and wanted to reintroduce). For those interested, here are the ~34 guidelines that made the cut

@stavan Never left Spectreseek 🔴

@TheJupiterApp why do you need location permission to save money in pots? It wasn’t required earlier.

It’s been more than a week of placing my order at @WakefitCo and it’s still not shipped, apparently they are still sourcing top quality wood from the Amazons for my sofa! @Ankit_AGarg didn’t know customer was such a king for Wakefit!!

@paoloanzn Study Such gems are meant to be shared 💯

I just built a $50K SaaS in n8n that you can literally steal and white-label tomorrow this AI study assistant generates tailored exams from any content and evaluates spoken answers in real-time here's exactly how to turn this into your cash machine: Step 1: Get the assets - download my n8n workflow (giving it away free) - fork the frontend repo on GitHub - you now own a complete SaaS stack Step 2: Deploy in 10 minutes - connect Supabase for database + auth (free tier) - deploy frontend on Vercel (literally just click "deploy") - import my workflow to your n8n instance done. your SaaS is live. Step 3: White-label everything - change the logo, colors, domain name - add your pricing tiers ($19-99/month is realistic) - create landing page copy (I'll include templates) Step 4: Find your market target: College students, professionals studying for certs, homeschool parents they're already paying $30-200/month for study tools your overhead? nearly ZERO the math that'll make you sick: 100 users at $49/month = $4,900 MRR 500 users = $24,500 MRR 1,000 users = $49,000 MRR I've seen people launch worse products for 6-figures you get the complete workflow, frontend code, deployment guide comment "STUDY" + RT + bookmark this I'll DM you everything in the next hour this isn't some half-built demo this is a production-ready SaaS you can launch this weekend

@AustinTByrd @jh3yy The current WCAG doesn't accurately simulate human perception. @MyndexResearch would probably have a better say at this

@jh3yy We tested it. It all passed.
