Aldehyde Link ParentYeah, not only is there no human vetting these requests, but to counter these you have to give up your name and address. So bad actors can easily use this to dox YouTubers.Yeah, not only is there no human vetting these requests, but to counter these you have to give up your name and address.

That’s not really the case, though. In India, these foreign tech companies offer very good salaries compared to the cost of living.
I would earn maybe a third in Bangalore in the same company and position compared to Vancouver, but the COL is much less than a third.

Kei loses at every stage. All of the plans of Satou succeed. While he is defeated in the end, he had already planned to leave by then. Ig one change that came off everything is that the public was made aware of the government’s atrocities, but even then no regulatory change came of it, the major characters just got their identities changed.

There’s only a 2 hour difference between the westernmost and easternmost points of India. This means, all places are at most an hour away from the standard time. Even so, farmers in the easternmost regions set their clocks to the local time.
Now imagine that at the global scale. You’d also lose all intuitive meaning of the time as soon as you travelled.

Comment on Panic in Pakistan as India vows to cut off water supply over Kashmir in ~society
Aldehyde Link ParentYeah, with an issue like radicalisation, there’s no good solution. You can’t just let the terrorist attacks go and embolden them, but then any retaliation breeds hatred and radicalisation.Yeah, with an issue like radicalisation, there’s no good solution.

Not a single attack, but the latest in a long list of attempted and successful terrorist attacks, for none of which there was retaliation. Even if we ignore Kashmir, there is the parliament attack, the thwarted India Gate attack, and the 2008 Mumbai attack. Despite an entire dossier of evidence, not only was nothing done against Hafiz Saeed, his protection has been increased.
Realistically, what option do we have left? International pressure hasn’t worked and surgical strikes haven’t worked.

It’s surprising though that the upper class would be willing to switch.
Modem phones are able to run steam games via FEX, it’s insane how the chips are powerfully enough to run PC games via a translation layer, not even just native ports
