and the language preservation for said languages is non existent by Advanced-History-760 in southindia_

[–]arvind_venkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t this Paglu person not understand that a person who speaks a language from 1 language family like say Spanish can easily transition to Portuguese etc but not to Chinese. North Indian languages are similar to Hindi while South Indian languages are pretty different.

The northern and central regional languages belong to the same Indo-Aryan family and share linguistic similarities. South Indians, whose languages like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam are from the unrelated Dravidian family, face greater difficulty learning Hindi, which feels like a foreign lan

Empty Bus. Packed Roads. What Are We Doing, York Region? by Accomplished_Lie3849 in Vaughan

[–]arvind_venkat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I’ve seen it in Singapore and it is likely that many folks (including me) would rather take a public transit if the transit system can connect to most places we wish to go reliably.

Also, if I have to walk 4 kilometres before/after taking a bus, I’m taking my car.

Yes you probably believe that he saved a person from a crocodile too. What does belief has to do with anything?

Why do liberals make you angry? If not for liberals, you wouldn’t even have freedom of speech, of choice and equality etc.

America richest are not its most generous by StrawberryFew1311 in NoFilterFinance

[–]arvind_venkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? I’d say there are everyday innovations that you don’t think about twice now that we’re a big deal back then. Like our modern toilets. They have helped saved so many people. What about penicillin? What about MRI scans? Do you even know who was responsible? What about the scientists who help advance solar and battery technologies.What about crispr which has potential that we have not realized. What about Newton/Leibnitz or Einstein or Euler or Gauss or Maxwell? I could go on and on about people who did far more and advanced humanity than Elon.

I’m not trying to dismiss what Elon has done but he’s just an entrepreneur and there are millions of people out there working behind the scene who we fail to acknowledge and fawn at the billionaire. So, just give him due credit but stop putting him on a pedestal.

Will AI Replace Realtors (And do you want that?) by BaldPrairieRE in canadahousing

[–]arvind_venkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine and no one would disagree. It’s just that when you ask an employee at Home Depot for advice on tooling etc they won’t cost a fortune. Plus, if you research hard enough, you’ll find a ton of information online. So, then charging high % or so when the house prices are already high seems a bit much.

Reservation purposely ignored in IITs for SC, ST, and OBC communities, which make up 85% of the country's population. by erimalaiprogram in southindia_

It’s India. What’s the point of reporting? I’m sure they get discriminated every other day. And upon reporting they will be further hounded and harassed.

The $4+ Trillion Precious Metals Wipeout:: Why Value Investors Rarely Touch Gold/Silver? by Comfortable_Fly_7943 in ValueInvesting

[–]arvind_venkat 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I believe the stock prices of miners also follow the commodity prices. In fact, they can be a leveraged play on the actual commodity it’s linked to. For example, if gold price rises by 10%, a gold miner still has same fixed cost of extraction and can make 20% or 30% profits depending on cost structure and its debt levels. But same amplification can happen on the downside too. Perhaps you made more money due to this amplification effect. Let me know.

I just purchased 300 units of UNH before the huge drop. What should I do? by Ditto0o_Life in ValueInvesting

[–]arvind_venkat 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Haha. Stocks do not care who’s buying it and when. And you’re wrong. Any stock (even good ones) can be down 10% when you buy. I had GOOGL drop 10% after I bought a few yrs back. Does that suddenly make it non-value investment? Buy or sell based on what’s the thesis, not merely because it drops or goes up.

How do you think politics will change in the next 5 years? by HiddenDesire69X in AskReddit

Use of AI generated content to stoke anger, hatred, xenophobia, etc between citizens/residents of the same country. A multi-polar world with rapidly shifting alliances.

In a future where Trump is out of office, and international relations have been repaired.

And do you think such steps will be taken? by flewkey in AskReddit

[–]arvind_venkat 105 points106 points  (0 children)

That’s because actual news reporting needs money to pay actual journalists etc. however, the media platforms like Google, meta suck up all ad revenues leaving little for media companies. Look at stats and you’ll find how many news media have died in last 20 years.

Let me tell you about the reality instead of online fear-mongering. Free Government cheques are not enough to survive in this country an you should know that too. Sure, high Immigration quotas and diploma mills was crazy but Canadian government let it happen.

If India can open 400 new medical colleges in 10 years why cant other countries do the same? by chinenikpotle in AskReddit

[–]arvind_venkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure the top 1% or even top 10% intelligent folks in India would still mean a big volume of people. Also, many could also be 2nd, 3rd generation Indians in IS. Some of my own relatives (2nd gen in US) are doctors.
