Zero doesn’t always mean 0 zdr.dev
Unfortunately, “guarantees” of ZDR and no training are only as good as the trustworthiness and controls of the vendor and their underlying processors, and it’s becoming apparent that virtually no one outside of AWS and a couple of others are capable of meeting this standard.

Much is being talked about the High level committee on federalism and its shutdown by new govt. The report, does seem to have strong trails of being LLM generated. Not passing judgements like non sense, but for a paid publication, the quality bar is low?
I’ve read the book it sits right now on my table , I challenge you to come and argue with me on this piece of 💩 which you call a report. This is AI nonsense. And when you come for debate please do being rs 799 along to compensate me for buying this garbage and also explain to us why and how Bloomsbury is publishing and selling this book for this cost when it is a govt document which should ideally be available for free .

Today is also #AaronSwartz day and 10th anniversary of #DemonetisationDisaster. #Swarrzism has been a constant companion to #CashlessConsumer. 10 done, may be 30 more to go. Wish me luck

இந்தப் புத்தகம் மதுரையில் திமுக ஆட்சிக் காலத்தில் நிறுவப்பட்ட கலைஞர் நூலகத்தைச் சேர்ந்தது. இந்தப் புத்தகம் Phoenix Publications நிறுவனத்திடமிருந்து கொள்முதல் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதன் ISBN எண்ணும் செல்லுபடியாகும். ஆனால், இந்தப் பதிப்பகத்தின் முகவரியும் அகல் விளக்கு பதிப்பகத்தின் முகவரியும் ஒன்றுதான். ஆனால், இதில் மிக மோசமான விஷயம் அதுவல்ல. இந்தப் புத்தகத்தின் ஆசிரியர் பெயர்தான் அதிர்ச்சியளிக்கிறது. ஜீன் ட்ரீஸ் (Jean Drèze) ஒரு பிரபலமான பொருளாதார அறிஞர். கடந்த திமுக ஆட்சிக் காலத்தில் திட்டக்குழுவில் இடம்பெற்றிருந்தவர். ஆனால், அவர் இத்தகைய புத்தகம் எதையும் எழுதியதில்லை. திமுக அரசு, போலியான AI புத்தகங்களுக்குப் போலியான பதிப்பகங்களிடமிருந்து கொள்முதல் ஆணைகளை வழங்கியதோடு மட்டுமல்லாமல், புகழ்பெற்ற பொருளாதார அறிஞர் ஒருவரின் பெயரையும் இத்தகைய போலிப் புத்தகத்தில் பயன்படுத்தி அவருக்கு அவப்பெயரை ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது. “திரிஷா விஜய்”, “பவித்ரா கருணாநிதி” போன்ற போலிப் பெயர்களை உருவாக்கியதைப் போலவே, இந்தப் பதிப்பகமும் “ஜான் ட்ரீஸ்” (Jean Dreze) என்ற போலி ஆசிரியர் பெயரை உருவாக்கியுள்ளது.

Selling fake books is an age old money laundering technique. Except it's now wrapped under pubic procurement. #AgalVilakku - @dir_ed are you awake? 1. Where did the proceeds go? 2. Who got the royalty?

Not saying this is a bad idea per se, but we must realise attackers have gone down to level of SFMS spoofing. At that level, there is very little for a bank to save.
Right now I think it is very important for RBI to introduce some feature for customers to lock unwanted funds in their bank accounts. Locked funds cannot be used or moved unless a customer goes to the bank and Aadhar verifies personally. Fixed Deposits too need this feature where they can't be liquidated online or by anyone. All banks must be mandated to provide this feature immediately. And this feature must be tied to a flag that cannot be over-ridden by any employee, unless a customer personally authorizes, with a cool-off period before funds can be moved. This is very important to do now because the threat of hacking and stealing Indians' money by India's adversary is very high due to advancements in AI and their pathetic economy. In case of a hack, all these locked funds will make it difficult for the hacker to move them out via SWIFT, IMPS, RTGS or any means. This will help protect customers as well as banks and India. @RBI @GovSMalhotra @nsitharaman

#Agalvilakku - for those saying about scientific corruption, the 2024 has actually notified 9 types of unfair practices in library procurement. Using LLM generated content and printing is actually not listed. That was the innovation

The Supreme court of this country allowed it's Aadhaar judgement to be altered. Notices, legislation, documents have no meaning in @_DigitalIndia
#BREAKING X informs Delhi High Court that takedown notices sent to Internet Freedom Foundation and SFLC were by some impostor and not by Delhi Police. X says complaint has been filed to find the impostor and no action is taken against IFF and SFLC. @Slfc05 @internetfreedom

The root of the problem is no officer of state - across any pillar of the state actually signs documents post Digitization, leading to universalising plausible deniability. @SFLCin - make sure the judge adjudicating your case actually produces a tamper proof judgement signed.

The promise of 'Transparent Chennai' is still far cry. Data driven governance has moved from transparency politics to accountability politics. #Chennai 2010 - @transpchennai @busroutesin 2026 - @reclaimchennai @UngalSoththu
Long before entering politics, @nithyavraman, new Mayor of Los Angeles, walked streets of Chennai, asking why residents had to struggle for basic facilities like functional public toilets. Her work in Chennai shows glimpse of civic concerns she would later take into politics.

Things like this you will never hear about #UPI from media - because who else has ad budget to silence them?
It's a blatant lie. Banks say GRMs are rejected by the Cyber Crime Police. In Tiruppur, a garment factory tailor earning ₹5000 weekly had her account frozen after receiving money from a contractor linked to gaming/scam funds. Though an innocent victim, her account remains frozen and GRM was refused twice. @vovindia Many such real victims' pain and tears are heard only by the bank walls, not by anyone else.

Capitals concentrate power. The world, esp post AI world needs less and less concentration. Agents unlike people, won't love concentration of power, will decimate and seek equality aggressively.
Yes. India can become the AI compute capital of the world.

People must realise GCC operations, broader centralised economic policy will give no levers for people. If you don't decentralise operations & give control to people, they take control with pvt transit. You can't solve it with urban transit consulting big finance funded transit
Increasing bus fares in Bengaluru 2026 is like: penalising people for segregating waste at home raising property tax for harvesting rainwater fining drivers for stopping at red lights

Well, the regulator itself is a live ticking bomb, banks are smaller bombs to worry
All Indian Banks are running on Whatsapp. Sensitive Data, Business figures & instructions shared through it, India's Banking regulator is sleeping over such tiking Bomb. Gross violations of Bank's own social media policy being done by every executives.

This is happening for 2 days. Another user has reported getting e₹ 250
Replying to @HDFCBank_Cares
@HDFCBank_Cares I use HDFC Bank Digital Rupee. ₹250 has been credited to my account, and the transaction is also showing in the history. I received the credit SMS as well, but the amount is not reflecting in my Digital Rupee wallet balance. Please check and resolve this issue.
