The assumption GP made is that government deliberately planned their 100 days in office and the moon landing date to coincide. But the actual date of mission was different and was posponded last minute(literally) because of a leakage. So if the ruling party (ruling for past 5 years) really wanted the dates to coincide they would have easily scheduled the initial date to coincide.

So there is no 'factual' correctness in the comment. And adding political angle and then comparing India to Soviet based on that is unnecessary.

I think you are unnecessarily making this political. Even if India was successful at landing i dont think the government would count it as 'their' achievement rather would be counted as an achievement of the whole nation. And even 'non-blind' followers would celebrate, given how everyone were on edge of their seats yesterday. Also no one is bashing Nehru because he started ISRO.

Calling the moon landing a government PR gimmick is highly irrespectful to the scientists behind this.

Maybe because many of the technologies used in space missions have military applications?

Britain colonised India, looted it dry, abused its people. So 'making it whole' by torturing a country is not 'remarkable' act.

This was no where close to how the Xi app is forced on the students. This was a single event where the PM talked about exams and stress which is an issue many students ans parents face, this was not a political event. Whereas ths Xi app is forced on ths students continously, shaming them if they object. And the app is filled with Xi and communist propaganda.

http://nithinmurali.github.io a bit on the heavy side and not updated for quite a while.

In telegram also you can see an image and text derived from the secret key for comparison. Get your facts right.

The whole article is based on the fact that secret chats are not enabled by default. But i dont understand why that's a critical point, if you are so worried about privacy just start a secret chat. Also from what i can understand its a design decision telegram took. If the secret chats are always on then the private key needs to be transfered from device to device and on new devices,which is a security risk.

The points about the contacts is right though. Also i am a strict no for closed-source privacy app. Even though telegrams code is open, the repo is handedly very badly. With squashed commits pushed once in few months, issues disabled.

Xiomi phones are horrid in terms of privacy. Their MIUI sucks, constantly pestering me to use their app store. Privacy policy of their other stock apps like file manager, galary etc includes sending filename and other data to chineese servers. Not to mention some of their misterious 'analytics' apps always running in background.

what he meant is you could develop something similar in many other languages with the same complexity / time taken in rust.

exactly, misleading title

your comment looks like an pro-china propaganda. In china the state has heavy control on all the companies. The hardware is manufactured in china. I don't think something like this is happen without the state's knowledge.

Dude this is a satire

Thanks, was scrolling for a clear cut argument.

By purchasing the ticket, he was confirming the vulnerability. I am sure he knew that they would cancel the ticket when he reported it. I don't find any wrong doing here.

im the author of pygsheets (a library for acessing google sheets from python) https://github.com/nithinmurali/pygsheets. As mentioned in other comments i think you will only get contributions if your project is useful. the project will only grow if it has some users. once you have some users you will start getting issues created. you would have to fix some issues at first. Now if your project has a good enough documentation. you will start getting some pull requests. it will go uphill from there.

why the c++ hate in comments? because of the memory leaks?

So vampires have more IQ than humans? I should reconsider becoming a vampire hunter.

For a port of gspread which uses API v4 - supports new features like formats, notes etc. Checkout https://github.com/nithinmurali/pygsheets

Will this work with Ubuntu 14.04? I have been desperately waiting for multi gesture.
