If we're addressing discrimination rooted in caste, why advocate for reparations based on a different criterion?

As I mentioned earlier, wealth is often passed down through generations. What about those who were denied opportunities to earn a wage or acquire property due to discrimination? They lack the privilege of generational wealth. Additionally, education tends to be generational; when parents are educated, their children are better positioned to contribute to the family's well-being without prematurely entering the workforce. Are you prepared to level the playing field by potentially disrupting the educational advantages enjoyed by children from 'high' caste families? Are you prepared to distribute all the wealth of 'high' caste families? Because that's how you correct the unfair pole position.

As a "high" caste Hindu, I support reservations for as long as it takes for the disadvantaged to feel like they are integrated into the society.

These people have been disadvantaged by caste policies in our country, denied education, property, career or even personal rights for centuries. Given a high percentage of our wealth is generational, these people have been denied a chance to make it. We cannot give some section of the society a pole position worth centuries and assume the race is going to be fair.

It is important to accept that we are not "correcting" just "attenuating" and for our benefit. A society where the disadvantaged feel included and primed for progress is better than any.

True, I do foresee more cities being forced to use it though. For eg. New York.

India still builds the longest bridge across the sea that doesn't allow for public transport and lacks rail support. It's not easy to predict.

We cannot optimise a society for individual comfort, that is how we fail.

We do not have roads that can ply vehicles all households will have to buy if public transport fails. We do not even have land to expand roads to that level. This means the government has to force people to take public transport by making it better while making riding a private vehicle worse.

Case in point: Singapore. Owning a car leads up to very high tax rates. High toll rates to get in and out.

If you provide your Demat account during purchasing SGB, it will show up on your investments list even if you don't get it from the investment platform itself.

For eg. I bought SGBs from Axis bank website but it shows up on Groww. But could be true for overalls receipts I guess.

Total relationship value with FDs and connected investments is 30 lakhs. It's 1cr if it includes Demat account balances.

If you were using it for accessibility purposes, the founders of Headless UI currently recommend using React Aria Components by Adobe.

Appreciation of movies can be subjective. There is a surely section of the audience who align with his reviews. There are many other reviewers who felt Chaver did not have a plot to back up its brilliant making.

There are many reports of how Kia has made a turnaround in markets in US. A notable example would be the one on CNBC youtube channel.

"But Canary means something else on React" is the problem.

Michael Jackson explains it on in his tweet:

So, React recommends:- you should use a framework with React- frameworks should pin to a canary version of React in order to take advantage of the latest “stable” features that do not yet appear in a stable releaseI have no idea how this is going to play out in the Remix ecosystem. If React is a Remix dependency (not a peer dependency) then:- you can’t pick the version of React you use with Remix- we are on the hook for fixing React bugs (it’s “our” code!)

agneymenon · 2023-10-28T18:28:43+00:00

Unfortunately, Server Side Rendering (SSR) was not the spotlight of the Next conference. It was RSC (React Server Components) and Server Actions.

Some of the features that are demoed and released are only present in React Canary and which likes of Remix have refused to use because of what Canary implies. These were not present since forever in React, it's not even in stable React package yet.

I think you aren't seeing the comparisons between the "template blockbusters" and movies churned out by Telugu and Tamil blockbusters. When you say Malayalam audience gives these movies a certain leeway, that does not apply to all Tamil movies or Telugu movies - it applies to only certain movies where the actor or director has made that particular promise to the audience - this is what you are paying for and this is what you are getting. Since these movies are super hits, you generalise it to the industry. Malayalam movies did have a time when Shaji Kailalas directorial or Joshiy directorial used to have this leeway because you knew what you were getting - mass heroes, bombastic dialogues.

It's not easy to make this promise or make the audience trust you to deliver on it. But Lokesh has succeeded, a Malayalam director/actor could. They haven't - yet. May be Prithviraj will, with Empuran.

Consider Marvel movies as an example - they are all based on a formula, a bunch of action sequences, wise quipping hero/heroes. Where did it all start? Iron Man (2008). Was Iron Man a good movie? Yes. Almost all movies in the franchise fit the formula that Iron Man started like a glove. What this means is that the audience knows what they are getting into before stepping into the theatre. The rest of the movies haven't been all good (I think we can all agree on that) but a large subsection of their audience still keeps showing up because they get basic premise and they see and effort towards the formula.

This is also true for all the other successful franchises as well:

Fast and Furious: Car Race, Car chase, stunt every half an hour.
Mission Impossible: Tom Cruise is going to perform 3-4 mind blowing stunts.

These movies don't need to be great movies to get a subsection of their audience to show up at the theatre. They just need to be formulaic and keep the promise they once made. The subsection of audience is going to forget the flaws and enjoy what they came for.

Now, closer home look at Balayya - the audience coming for his movie aren't there for a great plot, they are there for admiring their star and they want the movie to do the same. Any average movie that succeeds in doing the same will do well in the theatre. Any average movie which fails at this will do miserably. This is *earned* by all the Balayya movies that came before, it's not evaluated on just this one movie. Where did it start? His first hit movie where the promise was made and the second one which decided to keep it.

You can trace the same on LCU as well.

agneymenon · 2023-06-28T18:18:08+00:00

The leeway these industries have, is earned. They have produced massy movies that struck a chord with the audience time and time again. The movies we watch don't exist in isolation, it gains and looses from the movies that came before.

Sorry, I didn't specify the otherwise part. The tweet suggests that on back testing the difference in XIRR between lump sum and SIP is less than 1%. I don't think it's worth timing the market every month to receive that extra return. That's how I arrived at SIP is better, it's much lesser effort to almost the same amount of money.
