Indian government is making serious efforts to reduce tax evasion, and personal fraud by making cash transactions difficult. Suddenly announces denomination of large currency notes, and only people who can prove they really earned the money legally get new notes, and all the old black money notes become useless.

But 99.3% of the old notes came back into the system. So the supposed blackmoney people were able to exchange their cash for new notes. By bribing bankers, by employing people to stand in line and exchange old notes in smaller sums, by paying workers in old cash which the workers would then exchange etc, etc. So essentially it was an exercise in futility.

Population of India: 1.324 billion.

Average income India:
"India's per capita income (nominal) was Rs7,593 in 2013, ranked at 112th out of 164 countries by the World Bank, while its per capita income on purchasing power parity (PPP) basis was US$5,350, and ranked 106th."

Electrification:
http://www.hindustantimes.com/...
"In 2 years, BJP govt electrified 13523 villages; only 8% were completely electrified
As of May 25, 2017, 13,523 villages have been electrified, but 100% household connectivity has been achieved in only 1,089 villages"

Clean Water:
"In 2008, 88% of the population in India had access to an improved water source, but only 31% had access to improved sanitation. In rural areas, where 72% of India's population lives, the respective shares are 84% for water and only 21% for sanitation"

Maybe check these facts BEFORE you try to reply?

No, I'm serious. Replace all parking lanes on arterials with barrier-separated bicycle and transit lanes. Destroy all vehicles other than public transit and bicycles using those lanes. Problem solved.

And that will solve the problem of pollution caused by burning agricultural waste in the fields how, exactly?

3. burning fields after harvest.

Do we really want to turn India into a chinese copycat a.k.a.victorian era steam-punk apocalypse? I think the hindi have more sense than to desire or even accept such a future. Less material wealth, but more spiritual value and more tolerance is their way of life.

China has almost 5x the per capita GDP as India ($8280 vs. $1688). Would the average person want his income to go up by 5x?

Maybe he'd settle for 3x for a while if there's no smog. But being poorer than China doesn't seem to be helping the air quality.

Oh my! I didn't get the facts before I shot off thinking India does not receive any aid from the west and can feed its billions on its own. Sorry. But did you know that your aid got scammed and got siphoned into private pockets by Indian politicians? http://www.hindustantimes.com/...

I tried to use Windows 10's Media Creator to create a .iso I could burn to upgrade multiple computers. It threw the trending "Something happened" error message. Great start.

I later figured out that this error is thrown if you try to save the .iso to a directory junction. It's probably not the only cause, since directory junctions that aren't preinstalled are rare, but it is one of them.

I think we've got a long way to go to catch up to India or China.

There are ways to confirm police clearance certificates - its just those ways aren't readily available on the internet. You gotta beat leather on the streets.

And UBER is expected to do this for all the drivers that register with them? Do you understand their business model at all? Anyone who actually lives in India, will have far less faith in the efficacy of getting the police here to do anything. Consider that this guy is a serial offender and they weren't able to get a proper conviction for over a decade!

to save costs of actually hiring someone to take driver fingerprints and gumshoe the form over to a local police station?

Oh believe me when I say that the real costs accumalate AFTER getting to the police station. Try getting these guys to do ANYTHING without... um... "encouragement".

I make no claim about the veracity of this link. Or this one. Or even this one.

Do you know how many illegal Bangladeshi immigrants are in India and where?
 

Your indignant vitroil and personal attacks aside, cannot answer where, but majority of them are located in slums in Delhi and Mumbai and other various major cities, and quite a few all over India. How many? As per census difference extrapolation and media reports the number is anywhere between 2 million to 20 million...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_in_India#Bangladeshi_immigrants

Do you think even if all of them were given citizenship and free beer, they will even make 0.05% dent to the number of voters in an Indian constituency?

If congress moves these across to certain key constituencies to rig the election there, hell yes. You could pretty much block the opposition key candidates from even clearing the election. Like I said muslims vote en masse, unlike hindus.

I am not commenting on the feasibility of this strategy. But this IS what congress is attempting. Here are the various media reports btw..

All of above are very respected and established news medias in India. Not sure if they are flaming racist xenophobic.

Now, you were saying?...

Did you know that most jurisdictions around the world bias sex assault laws in favor of women?

India just saw this get passed: Only men can be booked for rape

In NSW Australia the NSW Crimes Act requires that a vagina or anus must be penetrated for it to be considered "sexual assault". So if someone fingers a drunk women and then gives a handjob to a drunk man: (there being no legal consent in either situation):

- violating the woman = "sexual assault" (Section 61I) = punishable by 14 years prison
- violating the man = "indecent assault" (Section 61L) = punishable by only 5 years prison

The indian economy is based on more than software. A lot of local business is hurting badly, any importers are in bad shape because they buy in dollars.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is attempting to stabilise this by *selling* dollars so the rate can come down to something reasonable.
http://www.hindustantimes.com/business-news/Markets/Rupee-hits-60-per-dollar-again-on-capital-outflows-more-volatility-ahead/Article1-1086216.aspx

The high exchange rate is viewed as a problem here, and the government is trying to fix it.

I don't know about other countries, but in India's case, many of the installations requested to be blurred were nuclear facilities. Considering that the terrorists behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks used Google Earth to plan their sightseeing http://www.hindustantimes.com/technology/IndustryTrends/Google-Earth-used-in-26-11-terror-attacks/SP-Article1-857188.aspx the censoring is justified. I guess the same goes with the other countries.
Three things wrong with this case, however:
1. The French facility is not the storage depot for weapons grade uranium or something. Its just a radio station. It was relatively unknown and obscure till this incident happened. Streisand effect, anyone?
2. Most of the "classified" info came from an interview of the facility's commander. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/04/wikipedia-editor-allegedly-forced-by-french-intelligence-to-delete-classified-entry/
3. Despite all this, if the French still wanted to take the article down, they could have simply have gotten a court order to do so. Instead they practically blackmail a volunteer (who had nothing to do with said article) to delete it?

Are you sure about that trajectory thing?

I agree that we need to study how mining the moon, might affect the Earth in both the short term and long term.

Whether you believe in the global warming or the causes thereof, I wish they would have had the technology to study it 100 years ago. It's time to stop being stupid before we do things. And I don't want asteroids put in Earth orbit. If one company fucks up, it could wipe out life on this planet. Mine them where they orbit now, and send the materials back to Earth.

Burning mod points to post:

That looks like a "last ditch" effort against those advocating violent overthrow. But as far as I can see, it hasn't been used since 1958. A large portion of the act that set it up seems to have been ruled unconstitutional too.

In any case, there's a MASSIVE difference between that and what China's attempting to do. One is a legal charge to be proven in court (under Common law, it's not disproven; the prosecution has to make the case that the accused violated the law, not the other way round), and the other is a measure of suppression. Further, if this is a reaction to the link you posted, the article only talks about news spreading about a rumored coup attempt, and not about anybody planning said alleged coup on microblogging sites.

What's the Chinese government worried about? That people knowing that a coup attempt is possible will then realize that their leaders are not infallible and that they can change the government? That they'll demand a real say in how things are done, and real democracy? Are they upset that anyone could legitimately not tow the party line? Cowards!

For comparison, here's how a democracy handles such allegations in the public. Keep in mind, this wasn't some random tweeters, but a real newspaper. The newspaper report was duly discredited, and life goes on.

Besides, movements like Occupy Wall Street, or India Against Corruption or even the Tea Party are welcomed in mature nations - they form a conduit for people to express themselves on how they wish to be governed. Consent of the governed should be the only path to legitimacy for any rulers. Anything else is a dictatorship.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for China in this.

You won't believe who is already *far* down that path

I seem to remember having a solidly great quality experience with my 4MHz Z80 based computers in the 80s, then my 8 and 14MHz 680x0 computers in the early 90s. With proper software, a ARM11 (I presume) 366MHz system will feel great too. Especially when you consider the IPC of each of those processors. And with tens of millions of users, this software will come.

Although I guess they'll need an Android application development system that runs on the tablet itself...

WikiPedia also says there is a higher spec UbiSlate 7 made by the same company with an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU, for a bit more money. I guess that's the difference between using a $5 SoC and a $10 SoC.

Both products are sold out apparently, even future production. Then soon there will be the Aakash 2 which will have a 800MHz CPU and 1GB RAM. http://www.hindustantimes.com/technology/PersonalTech-Updates/Better-faster-Aakash-2-to-be-launched-in-Feb-2012/SP-Article1-764394.aspx

It sounds like there are a lot of problems with the first version - overheating apparently. Overheating! In a 366MHz ARM11 device!

"Meanwhile the Chinese are building new coal plants.."

And China is building 24 new nuclear power plants to raise its nuclear power output from 10.8 GWe to 40 GWe by 2015 and then may go as high as 80 GWe nuclear by 2020.

If you care to know more, you might start by reading this article. There's been a lot of talk recently about how Murdoch has been abusing his power since Margaret Thatcher's time in office.

Tell me more about this?

2008 2010.

The Sr perchlorate injectors of the PSLV (the predecessor to GSLV) go into the 1st stage main engine (the solid), but those plumbing problems were with the GSLV's strap-ons. The PSLV had solid strap-ons, so I would guess they could not steer. The GSLV has liquid strap-ons, so I would guess they don't bother steering the main engine at all.
I didn't read this before my original post, but the GSAT-5P wiki article and linked reference say that the strap-ons stopped responding to commands, and the vehicle was destroyed by range safety. I suspect we're being given an oversimplified version of things there, unless self-destruct is a two stage thing. I think either it lost it's top, then was self-destructed ~10 secs later, or it wasn't self destructed at all and just progressively failed because of aero loads after loss of control of the strap-ons.
I'm not an expert with inside knowledge, I'm just reading the reports and trying to interpret.
Here's a deshaked version of the failure (done by me from ). You can see the vehicle rolls towards the camera, with some yaw to the left, then stage 3 falls off. Then through to stage 1+2 destruction.

It appears they are moving their computer assembly operations, but will still use the same suppliers (i.e. suppliers in China).

1) The recession is partly DUE to this practice.

Really? Everything I heard was that it had to do with too much debt and too much access to cheap credit, and an era of deregulation and mergers.

2) It's not that the people won't work- it's that it's not being offered in the first place and they're claiming a "shortage" of workers (even though there's not...) and getting the H1B's in here

If H1Bs are such a threat, explain this: Given this time of cost cutting and layoffs, you'd expect companies to fire all their expensive American workers, and replace them with cheap foreign imports, yet this year it has taken eight months to reach the quota of 65,000, instead of two days, like the past 4 years.

Comedian and talk-show host Whoopi Goldberg had on The View on September 29 tried to defend his actions.
"It wasn't rape-rape," she had said.
The next day, Debra Tate, sister of Polanski's murdered wife, Sharon, argued on the Today show that it was consensual sex even though the victim was 13.
"There's rape, and then there's rape," she said.

Shannon Gilreath, Wake Forest University Law Professor for Interdisciplinary Study and a nationally recognized scholar on issues of equality, sexual minorities, and constitutional interpretation, believes there are really two perspectives involved in the case. "One is the perspective of people who look for any reason imaginable to excuse the victimization of women and girls that is rampant: it happened long ago, she was mature for her age-she wanted it," he explained. On the other side of this are those of us who are saying that every victim matters, even those victimized by people rich enough to evade jurisdiction for many years."

But Gilreath says that statutory rape is a clear offense under the law, and at the age of 13, the girl was underage. Polanski defenders 'define' rape

Here is an interesting take from a Bombayite.

India is on a slippery slope to authoritarianism...there is a call for a strong state from many influential sections. They want a 'world-standard anti-terrorism plan'. But everyone forgets a world standard anti terrorism plan is putting band aid on a wound and not asking how the wound happened.

Many of us does not remember the last time we had an emergency - decalared by Indira Gandhi and what it meant for civil liberties or even the idea of a democracy.

Making it hard to get a Cell Phone is another band aid. Its not going to work.

Me curious on rural India reacting to the massacre in Bombay...will national security overwhelm other genuine and pressing concerns?

Ravindranath Tagore remarked - "whatever you think of India is true, and its opposite". So lets wait and watch.

Pirates seize Indian vessel with 13 crew members off Somalia

An Indian cargo ship with 13 sailors on board heading towards Africa was hijacked by armed pirates off the northern coast of Somalia, even as suspense persisted over the fate of Indian crew members of the Hong Kong vessel MV Stolt Valor.

Somali pirates boarded the ship which was heading to Somalia and hijacked it south of Socotra island over the weekend, an official of the International Maritime Bureau said in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

The whereabouts of the ship and the fate of the crew members was not known as the maritime bureau received the distress report from a third party on Monday.

"We are still verifying the time and date of attack," the official said.

The hijack pushed the number of attacks by pirates this year in Somali coast to 74. A total of 30 ships have been hijacked and 10 remain in the hands of the pirates along with nearly 200 crew members.

A concerned Indian Government has dispatched a powerful stealth warship to the area as momentum has been growing for coordinated international response to the spate of hijacking being unleashed by Somali pirates using speed boats.

So I agree, piracy is a terrible problem. Our hearts go out to the families of the missing sailors.

However, I would think that Microsoft would be more concerned with copyright infringement that piracy. Are they planning an anti-copyright infringement day? September 19th might be appropriate.

that 4L/100Km is a disaster waiting to happen, both for the environment, as well as India's dependence on foreign oil.

The only nice thing that can possibly come out of this car is that India's alreayd poor road infrastructure will collapse and the messed up traffic situation will kick start the setting up of decent public transport (subways, light-rails)

Govt of India never banned all blogs. After terrorist attack in Mumbai, 22 sites were ordered to be blocked to prevent communal hatred and riots. The order was misinterpreted by ISPs who blocked blogspot.com (this was just a mistake).

I am against all kind of govt censoring (including this). But this ban should not be compared to one in China. The two are fundamentally different as India is a democracy and Indian Constitution provides freedom of expression. But this ban was not unconstitutional as freedom of expression does not allow one to spread opinions of hatred.

In fact, a newspaper headline actually claims Indian dinosaurs were vegetarians.

Wow, you are so wrong and misguided it isn't even funny.

The war against India was not imperialistic at all; it was a border dispute that India was getting too agressive about; we attacked them, taught them a lesson, and backed out. If we were so imperialistic, why don't we hold any Indian territory today? In fact those same territories that were under dispute then are still under dispute now.

Wow, guess who else is so wrong and misguided? Have you picked up a history book or bothered to look at multiple sources of history to see what actually happened in the 1962 Sino-Indian War? It was completely because of imperialistic desires; among other things, it provided a "bridge" into Tibet, which China claims as its own. There were protests in India and China over this occupation. Ethinically and geographically it belongs to either Tibet (a free one) or India -- definitely not China. Are you even aware of what China said was its valid reason for conquering the territory? It was to "liberate three million Tibetans from imperialist aggression, to complete the unification of the whole of China, and to safeguard the frontier regions of the country." What utter nonsense!

And guess who started the war? Like you said, the Chinese. First, the Chinese took over whatever it felt necessary (Tibet) and started heading towards the Indian border. Second, India put up a military to safegaurd what was clearly its boundary -- a good bit behind what China already claimed at that point. Then, the Chinese decided that border patrol was an act of agression and felt validated conquering MORE territory. And, no they haven't left, yet? Hence the "dispute". So why did India not press itself militaristically? Because India did not have a military set up that China already did in the region; it is hard terrain that India has to play cath up with. So, it remains a "border dispute" that China guards agressively.

The current Chinese foriegn policy towards India dictates, basically, containment. Yeah... no imperialism there! I wouldn't be surprised if you more of your post has it "so" wrong; heads up moderators -- the parent is spouting bullshit.
