My asthma flares up everytime I go to Bangalore, forget Delhi. There is merit to this idea.

I have the same thing. I consider my asthma very mild now, it hasn't really bothered me at home since I was 16 or so. Except when I travel to India (which I did a lot for work until COVID hit) - every time I need to use an inhaler every day.

The polluted air in Delhi, parts of Mumbai (e.g. Navi Mumbai), Pune and others is just horrible. Especially at night when the temperature drops a bit, it's like it hangs in the air like a toxic cloud from a Marvel comic - the air almost seems semi-solid.

Bangalore air has very high pollens, so that triggers allergy for many people.

Might be because BJP is a right-wing nationalist party.

any data to back your statement? I'm genuinely curious as to how one label a political party as right or left wing? BJP is a nationalist party no doubt about that though.

Is it common practice now to take open source techniques and ship them as proprietary software? I'm seeing a lot of Photoshop tools which I just saw in Two Minute Papers a couple months ago...

Pretty sure this is optical flow

Almost all 3D softwares have ways to write shaders with node based programming. If that is how this is being posed, there is nothing special to this.

At this point it's not innovation, just American politics.

I would love to see some sources on this.

Hypnotism is banned in UK television. Advertisment is not that far off from hypnotism, and needs to face similar consequences. Promote your product all you want, but don't exploit human pyscology to manipulate people into doing what you want.

Just manually encrypt everything and you're good lol

Linode, DigitalOcean, or a $200 used server from EBay. Both Linode and DO also have really good Kubernetes services. AWS and alike force users to stick to their ecosystem of products, and come with all sorts of weird pricing models. And if you really need some sort of serverless features or BaaS, you can just self-host that on a VPS.
