Can't read due to the paywall. Can anyone share the tech side of this? Did they get full access to the victims' systems? How much of this was Social Engineering?
> Any sane, rational Indian leader would not be so Anti international investment. (I am not only talking about the incident mentioned in this article, but generally speaking).
FDI has actually increased since Modi became the PM and he was been actively courting foreign companies. I don't understand how he is "Anti international investment".
It's been ages since India has strong hate speech laws that have been used to target journalists(read: defamation). Not sure where were these people till now.
The regulations only apply to platforms with at least 5 million registered users.
You don't need Social media to bust Govt corruption. Openly accusing Govt with facts lends much more credibility to the accuser.
> Twitter is being assholes. they should just patch up like facebook which fully complies with government meaning facebook becomes the best monitoring and investigation portal for them. like the last time facebook had found some political influence on their software but once they found the ruling party was involved, they dropped the investigation
Nah. I like the increased scrutiny against Social Media companies that has come up.
> What a horrible take. Globalization of tech jobs is net positive for the whole world including the US. We're all gonna have more thing made cheaper and faster, isn't that great?
That will definitely hinder the progress of local companies who will miss out on good talent.
They didn't write that anywhere.
> Stop being altruistic and learn from Doctors.
I did not get reference. Can you explain a bit about it?
What if the Government tightens rules for job offshoring? We already have strict norms for H1B which politicians would love to harden further if it suits their voters.
It definitely becomes tiresome than downloading an alternative chat app from Playstore. Signal has been gaining ground in India since Whatsapp came up with its new terms. A ban on Playstore will hinder that progress.
Shouldn't people call for more regulations against the Union instead of the entire department?
> It's not a functioning democracy, half of its population has no voting rights.
Exactly which "half" we are talking about here?
> And it's always been antagonistic with US, despite making pretty face.
They are a de-facto US ally. Doesn't matter how they behave publicly.
> And, yes, they are in bed with the Saudis, now quite openly.
What does that even mean? Pretty much every liberal democracy which recognizes the Saudi royal family and has economic ties with the kingdom is in "bed" with Saudis by that logic.
The family calls the shots there and I don't think many people will appreciate a Saudi Arabia which is in a military alliance with Russia or China.
To a considerable extent, the family also ensures a stable leadership and rule of law. A decade back, I would have supported forceful overthrow of the family. However, after observing Arab "Spring" and its implications in Syria and Libya, I am dead certain that I do not want a power vacuum in Saudi Arabia.
> Same with Israel, sinks USS Liberty, and then people on the hill go orgasmic, because "higher meaning" — whatever that means.
I don't think it's fair to compare Israel with Saudi. The former is a functioning democracy and is ranks significantly better that its neighbors when it comes to Civil liberties.
> Unfortunately realignment in foreign policy is very difficult. With Israel and Saudi (and co) money continually buying of congress/Washington while Iran and others don't have such powerful lobbying organizations within the US.
At the moment Iran and its proxies are actively threatening the US and its allies. Stopping that will be a prerequisite for any lobbying attempt.
> There no equivalence at all between Hongkong and Vietnam
And there's an equivalence between Tibet and HongKong?
What does exactly counterweight mean here? India herself will work with China whenever it's beneficial to them.
My distant family members have been tested positive but no one has died. The parent is definitely stretching it.
More like they bombed a building which has offices of Al Jazeera and the AP among other things.
Precisely. Instead of crying the same people should question their Government on why the tech wasn't protected enough if it was not supposed to be copied.

I will be attending Masters in CS program(non-thesis) at a mid-tier US university. What are few important things I should pay attention to? One thing I can think of is networking which helps in making good connections with people.

I wonder if there's an analysis of negative interest rates available across different economies.
