We keep talking about building end applications like jet engines, ChatGPT, without talking about what it takes to build the fundamental technological blocks and own the knowledge space in these domains. Always looking for that quick shortcut routes without valuing core knowledge.

HELP!
A question to the medical fraternity - if due to a horrendous accident nerve roots at C6–C7, C7–T1, and T1–T2 have being torn away from the spinal cord plus other issues at cervical level, is neurosurgeon best placed to address these?
What's the best option in NCR for treatment?
Please advice. Thanks.
PS: Patient is stable. Other serious orthopedic injuries have been addressed first. And now this needs attention.

The Cabinet approval for continuation of the Credit Guarantee Fund for Micro Units is a major boost for India's aspiring entrepreneurs, especially our youth!
What does this mean?
Rs. 5,000 crore corpus to help facilitate over Rs 12.5 lakh crore in MUDRA loans over the next 5 years.
Credit guarantee support for collateral-free loans up to Rs. 20 lakh under PM MUDRA Yojana.
Lower guarantee fees to encourage lending to micro-enterprises.
Our aim is to empower more young Indians to turn their ideas into enterprises, create opportunities and become job creators.

One can either keep travelling with a begging bowl in their private jet from one country to another seeking licensed technology or have some self respect and invest in indigenous R&D and control one’s own business destiny and long term value.
Future of India’s energy independence bestowed on these guys to wean ourselves off international shocks and leverages only for them to keep doing this.

If you fail to become a babu in India, you join the purchase/admin departments of companies
Wow!
A grandson cannot claim a birthright in property inherited by his father from his grandfather, even if it was originally ancestral. The Supreme Court has clarified that once partitioned, the property becomes the father's individual asset.

Doing this for clicks and RTs. But, I have been experimenting with different ideas in 3d prints.
One such.
Of course, this will be painted appropriately.

There should be a proper block on sales and finance people becoming CEOs. They really can't look past their performative BS and bean counting.
Industrial SMR?!
4x80 MWe capacity for captive power and steam use.
BREAKING: Reindustrialization goes nuclear. America approves its first advanced nuclear facility at an industrial site, a major Dow chemical manufacturing plant in Texas.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved a construction permit for four X-energy Xe-100 reactors, designed to supply both electricity and high-temperature steam to Dow’s chemical manufacturing operations. Chemical production is traditionally a very energy-intensive process, requiring large amounts of electricity and heat.
This marks the first U.S. construction permit for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nearly 60 years.

The Indian thing is to call those millennials as seething because of not achieving inter generational mobility in life 😂😂😂
As Saiarav pointed out, just look at the kind of housing projects that sells in BLR.
MILLENNIALS GOT HANDED THE WORST HAND OF ANY GENERATION IN MODERN HISTORY, AND THEY'RE STILL BEING BLAMED FOR IT.
Entered the workforce right as the 2008 crash wiped out entry-level jobs.
Were told a college degree was the only safe path, then graduated into five-figure student debt.
Asked for a living wage and got called entitled.
Hit their prime earning years in the middle of a pandemic.
Finally got a foothold, and the median home price jumped past $400,000.
Then the same people who bought a house for three times their salary ask, "Why aren't you buying homes? Why aren't you having kids?"
Because it now takes two full incomes, a down payment from somewhere, and a lot of luck to live the way one paycheck once did.
We didn't stop wanting it. We just got priced out of it.

It’s been more than 20 years since Boeing or Airbus has launched a new commercial airliner. Chinese dominance of commercial aviation is inevitable unless the west builds a new airframer that actually innovates.
My goal is to make Boom that air framer.
.@emirates President Tim Clark says its only a matter of time before China upends commercial aviation:
“They’ve slaughtered the auto market with EVs, they’ve upended so many industries, why would aviation be any different for them?”

India has to fix only 4 things first for better image in the next decade
1. Open smelly nalis
2. Solid waste management
3. Overhead wires
4. street roads
there are other issues but fixing these 4 will address majority of the PR, daily convenience and health too
See India is not perfect
We have boatloads of civic and governance issues, things continue to suck at many levels
But we are far better than what we were 15-20 years back, things have improved vastly, whether we acknowledge it or not
That's why to get the "Sadakhaggu" and Poverty aesthetics for India hundreds of Chinese streamers have to go to Bangladesh and Pakistan
It means they cannot find it in India anymore, because we do not ban Chinese tourists and give them visa fairly easily
They could have easily streamed things from India as well without issues but couldn't
It's a testimony to the fact that we have grown and our image is now an active threat to Chinese State
The Chinese Surveillance State cannot have an image of successful India projected to its natives, because that will mean things can work with democracy
Because since 1990s what they have been teaching their kids is India is a laggard because of democracy you are better off with the Chinese Communist Party
And India is actively spitting on this notion with consistent 7-8% growth and whatever mini manufacturing boom we are having
