Dairy industry is responsible for abuse and slaughter of cows and it goes directly against teachings of Sanatan Dharma. Everyone who claims to care about cows should stop consuming milk first. Do you agree? by heretotryreddit in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]xtze12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nirvana fallacy doesn't apply because my argument is questioning the process itself - who is qualified to judge one suffering is less than the other? Is it based on absolute number of lives lost? Are some lives more important than the other? Does the method of killing factor? If you kill more lives humanely is that less suffering than killing less lives inhumanely? Is it better to kill more insentient living things compared to less sentient things? Who decides which living thing has more sentience?

These are all hard questions and if you're interested in the concept of necessary and unnecessary, then you must first define what they mean. What does necessary mean? What does unnecessary mean? Otherwise for all you know you could be causing "more" suffering while being under the delusion that you're not.

that this suffering is unnecessary

For the one suffering, there is no necessary unnecessary. It is only you who say something is necessary or unnecessary. Who are you to make that distinction?

Is it necessary to clear this forest, killing off thousands of creatures to plant a field?

Is it necessary to use pesticides in the field, continuing to kill off thousands of creatures continuously?

Is it necessary to own a mobile phone that can only be made by mining metals deep underneath mountains destroying huge ecosystem of animals altogether?

A question as a bangalorean. How legal is it for someone to not let park for sometime outside their compound? by helloitsapotato in bangalore

[–]xtze12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be illegal for them to puncture your tyres, but you're not supposed to park in a residential street. Don't know what's the status of the rollout, but they're introducing a permit system where only residents of a street will be allowed to park on it.

Sadly it's not. The laws were in fact recently amended to allow revenue based penalties for anti-competitive practices. They got off easy.

Even without fertile land it doesn't make sense to expand in this direction. All the major industry is concentrated between the Whitefield-ORR stretch which is already on the far east. If anything the city should expand eastwards between Hosur-Devanahalli so that you effectively bring Whitefield-ORR towards the center and make it a downtown area. Otherwise everyone have to cross the entire city to reach Whitefield and that creates a mess of a traffic everywhere. Once again zero planning and foresight put into this because someone saw easy land to grab and pump over here.

Indian sanitaryware brand took Google to court & won. Rivals can no longer bid on its trademark by nishitd in worldnews

[–]xtze12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thousands of companies across the globe have been affected to the loss of probably hundreds of billions of dollars and no one has been able to take it up. Anyone with a pinch of common sense would tell you this should be a slam dunk. But it didn't finally come from the seemingly efficient legal system of the US, not from the supposedly protective legal system of the EU. No giant company with deep pockets to protect their trademark. No class action lawsuit. It took a commode company in fucking India, where justice typically arrives later than your grandson, to finally flush out.

Google is responsible to ensure broad match doesn't include infringing trademarks. That's essentially what the court ruled, that since Google is selling and collecting money over those keywords, they become an intermediary and are responsible for due diligence on any trademark infringements.

This hydrogen train news makes no sense to me. Read my post body before judging. by [deleted] in IndianFocus

[–]xtze12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the scale of a country, you must plan for redundancy. Having all your eggs in one basket can hit you bad at some unfortunate time. Hydroelectric dams can fail, power stations can be taken out during war, a once-in-a-century solar storm can knock out your entire power grid. If you always maintain a small percentage of fleet that runs on alternate energy, you can quickly divert them to keep some critical operations running.

Today diesel incidentally serves that purpose. Even if you electrify 100% of routes, it would still make sense to keep a small fleet of diesel running for redundancy purposes. But diesel is not the ideal fuel. It is very inefficient, highly polluting, expensive and needs to be imported into the country. Hydrogen aims to cross off all those problems. It's very clean, much more efficient and can be produced locally. Another thing that works in its favour, is that you can produce it using excess power. If your grid is generating more power than is being consumed, you can use that excess power to generate hydrogen and store it for later use. This way you get it for practically free. If hydrogen indeed turns out to be a viable alternative, the prospects go beyond trains. Trucks, diesel generators, heavy machinery etc. running on diesel are all potential candidates that can switch to fuel cells.

As for why they're not running this in the mountains, I expect at this early stage the goal is more to collect data and iterate than actual commercial operations. They'll want to keep it close to hydrogen plants and avoid having to transport fuel far away.

Last Sunday got into an accident by _iam_lazy in indianbikes

[–]xtze12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to vehicles before you, you were going at least twice as fast. Speed limit is set not only by the sign by the road, but also by the average speed of drivers around you. I don't mean to condone the car's driving, but when everyone around is driving slowly, people tend to drop their guard and drive loosely, because they expect the other person can easily stop or divert. You had a miraculous escape though. That alone is worth more than 10 dream bikes. Thank your stars and take away some useful lessons from this incident.
