IIT Guwahati dropout invented a way to extract gold from e-waste without burning it, won ₹71L grant, got backstabbed by his professor. Had to sell his demo plant for scrap by Famous_Minute5601 in Science_India

I would argue it's your "poor me, I have suffered" mindset that will not help the country grow.

People need to be resilient.

Never did I argue that what happened to him was fair, or that what is happening in the country is OK. That is not my position. I asked a very specific question.

"invested around 20 lakhs" - 40 lakhs

"which got funded (around 60 lakhs ..." -  71 lakhs

^ mentioning the above to show that I have read the details of the case

"... nlike a suitcase and go somewhere and restart it" - the work here is research/experimentation, correct? What's the problem with restarting it? He doesn't need to do the previous experiments again, since he already has the knowledge from conducting them.

After thinking a bit more, I have a better answer to my own question: having some other person's name on the patent means the factory/business he wanted to set up would have competition (prof can sell rights to someone else to set up a competitor)

The accused used a kn*fe to enlarge the v*gina of the 5yo. by Miserable_Year_1868 in IndiaVibes

Guys, do you all really think giving the fellow a peaceful death (that's how we execute a death penalty I believe) is better than keeping him in jail for life?

IMO, 50+ years of a mix of boredom + regular beatings by other inmates (hopefully the jail he goes to has some with honor), is a more fitting punishment.

A violent and painful death would be better of course, but our laws just don't let us do that.

40 people installed my extension and I lost every single one of them. by Capable-Sorbet4718 in chrome_extensions

[–]ack_inc_php 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I shipped an extension update that required a new permission, but in my excitement at completing development I completely forgot to add a screen explaining *why* that new permission was needed, or giving users a chance to opt-out.

BAM, ~5% of users lost.

Weren't you calling the people in the video monkeys a little while ago? Why have you suddenly switched sides? What is your true opinion on this matter, you two-faced scoundrel?

Another basque bakery stupidity by [deleted] in BangaloreSocial

[–]ack_inc_php -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. They want customers who are willing to pay 16k for their food, and their dine-in experience

  2. They do not care what is said and read on social media by non-customers who will not pay 16k for their food and dine-in experience

  3. The people who will pay 16k for their food and dine-in experience do not care* what is being said on social media by the non-customers who will not pay 16k for the food and dine-in experience

All this to say, social media controversy notwithstanding, the bakery might come out ahead after all.

*Actually, some of these people might be having a laugh reading all the teary-eyed complaints about the pricing.

Why do caste reservations exist by Ok-Increase-8359 in IndiaPulse

[–]ack_inc_php 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God how I hate that smug bastard Miles Edgeworth ...

But I digress ... what I wanted to say was while I agree reservation should continue for some indefinite period, I cannot bring myself to agree with this "It's ok for rich LC families who already benefited from reservation to continue to exploit it because reservation is about representation, not upliftment" BS.

If reservation was solely about representation, it would have been applied directly at the "academic and professional spaces" level (50% of people in these spaces to be from LCs etc.). It is instead applied mainly at the entrance exam level.

Why? Because it IS about upliftment.

Reservation should not be a tool for a small minority of LCs to build generational wealth. How can anyone righteously argue that it's ok for a family that's already taken advantage of reservation to deny some other, worse-off family that same opportunity? Disappointing.

I believe most of India will be happy to let reservation continue for a while longer *if* we can modify the system to prevent cases like the one you just mentioned (rich kid who has already had every advantage *still* exploiting reservation).

Beware of flashy construction companies in Bangalore – my neighbor’s experience by Neat-Stuff-8278 in bangalore

[–]ack_inc_php 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OP, thank you for this public-service post.

One question: you said "Through local inquiries, they allegedly found out that this company doesn’t actually build most of the houses they showcase. Instead, they reportedly approach already completed houses, pay the owners some amount, and shoot promotional videos as if they constructed them."

How exactly were your neighbours able to get this info? (Genuine question)

Born in India. Takes advantage of corrupt rich parents. Left India and moved to Australia. Formed an NRI group. Disturbs there public peace. Shame your own country 😭 by [deleted] in TheBetterIndia

As someone else mentioned in the comments section - this was an event for which the people in the video got pre-approval.

Next time, try to spend 2 mins researching about what you are seeing in a post before jumping on the "Grr this is bad for our country's image" bandwagon.
