Re:Fridges in French supermarkets hit by cyber attack on Monday October 12, 2026 @02:15PM (#50060477)
Something different came to mind as I read this article - there has been recent chatter regarding impending Food security issues - it was even talked about by India's foreign minister recently:

https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/eam-jaishankar-warns-...

I wonder if this attack is some kind of early warning about capabilities of disruptive forces.

I was expecting this after few tweets by this account:

""" We can be sure as the war ends, there will be another distraction by the US using "Aliens, UFOs, and UAPs".

If Iran war was a distraction from Epstein files, this will be a distraction from war crimes. We can be sure of some Aliens dot gov site launching distracting the world """

Absolute garbage design. The answers and comments are almost indistinguishable.

Positing that India would have such pull with the SEC is quite a stretch of imagination

I guess they'll use it to write articles about how jobs are getting lost due to AI

Thanks, this was a great explanation!
Re:What Color Is It? on Saturday December 24, 2022 @09:11AM (#34116929)
Not sure what is disingenouous about it... The website is showing the current time encoded as colour, with some animation to make it look good. Its not a colour guessing game :)
But that's not an illegal move - interestingly, ICC (the body which regulates Cricket) has always recognized the move as official - specifically confirming it as such after the recent incident involving the women's teams of India & England.
Re:24-hour race won by molecule that traveled 1 micron on Sunday April 24, 2022 @12:27AM (#31141300)
I'm tickled by the "Molecule jump onto the [STM] tip" - did they have a Symbiote[1] in the race?

NDTV did cover Ukraine quite frequently (atleast from what I saw from within the country). You should also try out WION[1] (a new-ish Indian channel focussed exclusively for foreign coverage, and DD India[2] - the Indian BBC

I think you need to read more or change your source of news.

India has made the most progress in the past decade than under most previous governments. Just recently there were regional elections which were won overwhelmingly by the party due to their socialist work in fixing some long-standing basic problems like guarenteed clean water to each home, electricity, free rations during COVID lockdowns, etc in one of the poorest states (by per-capita GDP).

This is incredibly well researched & well made. I was hooked for the full 2 hours!

Funniest thing was reading the first few paragraphs and thinking it was talking about India (•‿•) and agreeing to every single word written there.

One thing I do while playing with people half a world away is to send just the final pattern (Share button copies that to the clipboard). Once both parties have sent their answers, you can share the screenshots :-)
As someone else said, it is indeed a moving target, and achieving 40% now is not the same as 40% in 2030. A more clearer picture is presented in this article:

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/india-meets-target...

> India’s installed Renewable Energy (RE) capacity stands at 150.54 GW, which includes solar at 48.55 GW, wind (40.03 GW), small hydro power (4.83 GW), bio-power (10.62 GW) and large hydro power (46.51 GW) as of November 2021. The nuclear energy based installed electricity capacity stands at 6.78 GW.

> “In line with the Prime Minister’s announcement at the recently concluded CoP26, the Government is committed to achieving 500 GW of installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by the year 2030,” the ministry added.

This is the most insane news I've read all year!

Reminds me of the crow whisperer story that was on this board many months ago - but here we have even more intelligent and dangerous species exacting revenge!

Kinda funny that the aviation industry cannot implement the more accurate inertial navigation systems (INS) right now because:

"The biggest single problem in trying to implement this change worldwide would be inertia"

XD

HackerRank, Zoho, Freshworks, Postman, BrowserStack, VWO, WebEngage, Zomato, Byjus, etc.
