They should have seen this coming. The big Indian IT consultancies have existed since the 1980s and they have been swimming in billions since the early 2000s. They should have invested into actual product development at least a decade ago.

The US has only tested ground-based ASAT weapons on satellites in already decaying low orbits.

>Air Force X-37B

The Air Force X-37B is not a missile or weapon.

>Don't get me wrong, Russia aren't some good guy, but when you actively do a thing for tens of years and then the other guy does that thing, you have no moral high ground left to complain.

Russia tested a satellite-to-satellite weapon which is completely unprecedented militarization of space.

The US has tested ground-based anti-satellite weapons on satellites in decaying Low-Eart Orbits. The debris quickly burned up in the atmosphere.

China is the only country to have blown up a satellite beyond LEO. The debris from that will be in orbit for decades. That was an unprecedented militarization of space and not comparable with anything the US has done in the space.

You are pushing a narrative that the US is the warmonger in space and that Russia is only responding in kind. The truth is that Russia and China are far ahead of the US in weaponizing space. The US is playing catch-up.

I have been wondering why Facebook has become the only platform that tolerates right-wing speech. The other platforms took the convenient route and kicked out right-wing voices.

Why exactly is Facebook risking both bad press and a revolt from its overwhelmingly progressive employees?

>Geopolitics isn't determined by comments on Internet forums

Politics is increasingly being influenced by Internet movements and culture. Millions of Indians being repeatedly exposed to what reddit and YouTube has to say about them will change their opinion about the West for the worse. The Indians who browse reddit and YouTube are more likely to be young and politically savvy.

I'm not calling for censorship. One possible solution is that American Internet platforms create India-focused silos of their platforms. Indian Internet users (who wish to do so) should still be able to go out of their way to find out what Cletus from Texas has to say.

Is it in the geopolitical interest of the West and India to use the same Internet platforms? Take a look at what reddit and YouTube users have to say about India. That kind of uncensored hatred and racism will push India right into the arms of Russia and China.

It would be better for US-India relations if Indian Internet users also have local alternatives to choose from. Local alternatives where they don't have to hear what Cletus from Texas has to say about their country and religion.

One roadblock is that many in the embedded software industry uses proprietary IDEs and tools like Keil, Atmel Studio, CCStudio and STM32CubeIDE. These propietary IDEs and tools are often based on Eclipse or Visual Studio Isolated Shell.

How good is the Rust support in Eclipse and Visual Studio?

Visual Studio should not be confused with Visual Studio Code. The latter has great Rust support.

Godot is more likely to eat Unity's cake than Unreal Engine's cake.

Unity is currently the dominating engine among mobile games and 2D games.

There has been a lot of discussion about light pollution from the 1500+ planned Starlink satellites. However much of the discussion is based on the assumption that the world will collectively let Starlink operate as monopoly.

How much will light pollution increase when the next competitor launches 1500+ satellites?

How much will light pollution increase when a Chinese competitor launches yet another 1500+ satellites?
