Someone shared this Reddit thread here on X. This reddit post is available on public internet.
I have nothing against the company and I don't know the veracity of this claim.
Just discussing this in the context of ongoing discussions on merit, exams, reservations etc.
This is just an example of how candidate selection works for IT companies. This can be any company (IT or otherwise) for that matter.
Our fundamental problem is we expect finish line equal group outcomes.
Which means if 10 candidates are selected we want to do caste, gender, region census. If % representation is not to our liking then we want to hunt for caste bias, gender bias, north south bias what not.
So to satisfy all these cravings we will start imposing representational justice quotas.
Out of 100 candidates you select you better have x% of this y% of that so on.
All that doctors the selection process. You then end up lowering standards for the sake of representational justice.

I think on this topic it is better not to engage further. Saar is giving unbelievably crazy takes. It is a very simple issue. He is complicating it by making it a philosophical commentary on grades, exams, merit what not! "We do not ask about grades. We hire people who have many failing grades" This is all fancy stuff. Is your qualifying criteria failed grades? Would your ad say join us if you have failed a minimum of five subjects? No! You will have some other filter mechanism and entry mechanism. Would you just allow 10000 engineers to show up? No. You will measure their drive and passion somehow. Then finally you will choose a few. Say a 100. The other 900 will be denied opportunity to work. Now people are expecting equal representation of all castes (or gender for that matter) in that 100. How can you satisfy representation craving unless you start to lower your bar to fill representation numbers? Now every year when these 100 sit for performance appraisal.. would you give them all same hike? Would you promote everyone? People want equal group outcomes there too. It is just an unrealistic and unrealisable expectation. But instead of calling out the sham saar is giving random abstract justifications. It's boring now.

Vijay could have chosen the comfort of his caravan. He chose courage instead. A courage born out of conscience. The courage to stand up to an entrenched behemoth, look it in the eye and say enough is enough. To say dynasty is not democracy.
If you felt that indescribable something in your heart when Vijay stood up, that flicker is hope. The hope that you don't need a tungsten sun for a brighter dawn. The hope that no mother will have to wait with bated breath for her daughter to return home safely. The hope that no father will fear that his son will become a junkie in school. The hope that a journalist can speak his mind, without literal shit being dropped in his home.
Some will call you are a crazed fan. They will frame stranglehold on power as legacy and continuity. They will talk about regional pride, while a middleman quietly siphons his commission. They will claim Vijay is an outsider, a newbie who doesn't know governance or politics.
Yes , he's an outsider to THEIR rotten politics of patronage, pliable media and power abuse. That's his strength. That's why millions of nanbas and nanbis trust him.
The dream of a better day is not empty fantasy or fandom. It's a choice, made at the cusp of history. And that choice begins with the courage to make it.
Vijay stood up when it mattered. Now it's people's turn.

Went to Sankarankovil in Tenkasi district and happened to visit a small grocery store. Overheard conversations, the four folks (50+, 40+ , 30+, 30+), all want to vote for TVK. They quickly asked my opinion too, which I’m
Not going to say openly here 😂 PS: These are not party men but common people. An unpredictable wave is happening, which I’m unable to gauge but one thing is sure, TVK’s voting percentage will be highest for a debut party since the formation of MGR’s AIADMK.

Charisma and youth backing will only take you so far. At some point, you have to actually want to reach people and not just ride on popularity. Dude is taking voters for granted.

The southern states need a separate Prime Minister. Let the North Indian Prime Minister and the South Indian Prime Minister come together to form a Federal Indian Govt. If necessary, we can create a Prime Minister post for East India as well. We can form a con-federation government by combining all three.
If BJP argue, Parliament seats should be increased as population increased, so is the prime minister post. One prime minister can't rule large population. Let's increase everything for betterment of governance.
Southern states are culturally different from north, so we should be ruled according to our cultural values.

I hope those who were responsible for this get punished.

She is a victim of state based violence. The magnitude of turmoil that she went through starting from the sewage gate by Selvaperunthagai and gang , unleashed on her while DMK government watched was extreme atrocity. Then came the cat and mouse game on Savukku by Arun . The constant chasing. This is the truth and nobody can deny it . RIP.

A separate ministry for Artificial Intelligence. Welcome move 👏

I wanted to track the Nifty Straddle price for every expiry at 9:16 AM, to understand over the last 6 months how the premium behaviour was like.
Earlier I use to give long prompts to Claude web, to create a python code and run it manually in VS code, do the analysis in excel.
Now with Claude Code in single line, am able to create a portal where I can visually check how the premium behaviour was like.

@karthik2k2 Dude, it says it was not medicated. Medicated, treated and not highlighting is cheating. Here it is not the case.
English
1. Hypertension is not a minor condition. If you have it, get treated
2. To claim "it didn't affect health" is illogical -lack of symptoms is not the same as "healthy"
3. Deliberately failing to disclose pre-existing diseases is cheating

Ramesh Gupta died in 2019. Heart attack. 54 years old. He had a ₹50 lakh term insurance policy. Premiums paid without a single default for 11 years. His wife filed the death claim. The insurance company said: "We need to investigate." They investigated for 3 years. Kept asking for documents. She kept submitting. They kept asking for more. She couldn't pay the home loan EMI. Sold the car. Borrowed from relatives. In 2022, they finally rejected the claim. Said Ramesh had a pre-existing condition he "didn't disclose." The condition: slightly high blood pressure. Noted in a routine checkup in 2015. Never treated. Never medicated. She went to IRDAI. Then consumer court. The court said: A condition that was never treated and never affected his health cannot be used to reject a claim 11 years later. ₹50 lakh ordered paid. Plus 9% interest from 2019. Plus ₹1 lakh for mental harassment. They made a widow wait 3 years. Then rejected her. A court gave her everything back. With interest. Save this post. If an insurance claim is rejected citing "non-disclosure" — fight it. Courts have consistently ruled against insurers using minor, untreated conditions as grounds for rejection.

@NammaChennai_ While it is to be agreed that Bangalore had done better in introducing good fleet, don't compare the fleet size blindly. Bangalore does not have suburban trains. Chennai runs multiple suburban service.

2008: Chennai’s first 100 Volvo AC buses hit the roads
2011–2021: 💀
Meanwhile, Bengaluru:
Introduced Volvo AC buses (Vajra & Vayu Vajra) in 2005–06, scaled them through the 2010s, and began transitioning to EV buses from 2019
Today:
Bengaluru: ~1,700 EV buses → ~4,500 planned
Chennai: ~400 EV buses → ~1,200 planned
That’s a ~3–4x gap in scale

Coimbatore and Tiruppur run a multi billion industrial empire. And yet people die cleaning septic tanks with no protection, no dignity. Absolute apathy.

600 கோடி வரிஏய்ப்பு செய்வது , தலைவனுக்கு போஸ்டர் ஒட்டுவது மட்டுமே தகுதியாக கொள்வது, seat ku காசு வாங்குவது, அடுத்த தொகுதியை சார்ந்த தனதுவேட்பாளரை அறிமுகம் கூட செய்யாத தலைவர் - இந்த கூட்டம் தான் அரசியல் மாற்று.
