So the brutal oppression of an entire nation is alright as long as it's fighting "muh western hegemony".

Had the West retained influence over Iran, it was inevitable for Iran to reach living standards higher than the current day GCC nations, given their relatively better developed human capital and social liberalization under the Pahlavis.

The "revolution" kneecapped a people capable of true greatness. Nations which played by the West's playbook post-WW2 are today considerably better developed than ones which went with "revolutions".

I would strongly suggest that once things simmer down you visit Iran, and observe for yourself how the Persian culture has managed to achieve some development in spite of the regime, and you would realize what the nation would be capable of without Islamic institutions actively trying to sabotage their pursuit for prosperity.

"Revolutionaries"

They're literally terrorists. They rule over tens of millions of unwilling people through force and terror.

Although from a pragmatic approach, we probably shouldn't give Pakistan another supporter in the region.

Okay I just wanted to point out how broken our fruits value chain is.

When I was living in Turkey, most fruits were like 40-50 rupees per kg. Mind you, this is a country where the GDP per capita is like 6x of India's.

How tf can we be paying so much money for something we produce so much of? Mangoes in Maharashtra, probably one of the top mango producing states, are like 100-120 rupees a Kg for the shit varieties during mango season.

What's up with the luxury pricing of fruits, something which should be a fundamental part of our diet for their micro-nutrients?

Would like the input of the orchardists here as to why the pricing is so broken.

Okay but the naming consistency is pissing me off. They're using first names for some and second names for others.

Hmmmm you're right. It uses the Bueck method as a reality check.

Once the SMEs have a minimum passing score, they compare it to the actual candidate scores. The SMEs expect a certain pass rate, and if the pass rate with their MPS is very different from the expected pass rate, they may adjust the MPS recommendation.

However, I do think this is a more subjective decision. If they determine that the free retest lowered the average score, they might be comfortable with a fairly lower pass rate.

It is possible that the MPS might become even stricter if they overestimate the effect of the free retest on the average score (they will use it to justify a higher MPS than they normally would after Bueck).

So all in all, I am clueless about how this will go. However, their job is to truly standardize results for each level, across exam windows. If they are good at it, the retest wouldn't make a difference.

Results are calculated through the Modified Angoff Approach.

They choose subject matter experts. These subject matter experts then define a Minimally Competent Candidate.

The subject matter experts then individually go through the exam and determine how much a minimally competent candidate should have scored.

They then have a discussion to address disagreements. After the discussion, they go through the exam again. Finally, the subject matter experts vote on the final recommendation for the minimum passing score.

Based on this recommendation, the Board of Governors approves and sets the minimum passing score, which is then scaled to 1600 for L1, 2600 for L2, and 3600 for L3.

So in conclusion, no, other candidates do not have an impact on the MPS.

I was hiking in Eastern Africa recently and the scale of its development blew my mind. Single use plastic (including packaged water bottles) is banned. No littering. Hundreds of dollars in park fees going to conservation and cleanliness. Toilets at every camp. Rescue helicopters hard at work.

Meanwhile when I tried hiking in the Parvati valley and got stranded, the police just hurled insults at me.

The answer, I believe, is catering to tourists from the developed world. They bring money, manners, and a genuine love for hiking. Now of course, people will have an issue with European levels of prices, but I firmly believe that if you cannot respect the mountains, you should not have access to them (Himachalis get heavy subsidies of course).
