It was not even the farmers. It was mostly the government pimps of agricultural products and the rice smugglers of Punjab who got rich selling inedible rice to the government are a high minimum support price by smuggling it from other states. This raises a lot of questions but sadly there is no other way that figuring it out. One simple question western audience should ask is why only two states in the entire country give a damn about the new 'reforms' (the new law was about removing an old law meant to mimic soviet styled collectivist farming with Indian twist).

The protests were seen by Pakistan's ISI and other Indian separatists group as an opportunity to show Indian government was some kind of tyrant, when in reality the government showed exceptional patience with absolutely vile protestors who raped women and chopped off arms of people with no consequence.

As an Indian I am glad with whatever is happening to Trudeau. If you are going to shelter and support people trying to hurt other countries, those societies will hurt you back.

Yeah. Somehow "What is good for Delhi, is not good for Ottawa" and actually in case of Ottawa the protests are about freedom and actually peaceful. (The protests in India were demanding preferential treatment to certain groups and protection from market forces).

I am not surprised, this is the usual hypocrisy of the far left wing do gooders of the western world. Anyone who opposes them is a "violent fascist" even if there is no real violence and their own supporters turning violent are social justice warriors fighting the inequality.

Trudeau is a pussy and a tyrant and I hope the honking continues and truckers wont back off. Indian community in USA and India would gladly contribute to the protestors. For FREEDOM.

Fair point, but they should apply that standard uniformly. Wasn't the ice bucket challenge dangerous ? And it was literally dangerous.

I know, but it is impressive that they are doing it for $400.

Well, all civilizations are full of stories of men waging war on oceans, burning down forests to reclaim lands, breaking mountains and all the wageries of such things.

Dune was neither the first nor is the last and linking it with climate change is purely some kind of bias.

Not sure what work you did but working on farms was something I despised. It was terrible work and made me depressed and feel like shit.

Felt pretty pissed at this. I am both a landlord and tenant. I worked with my tenants to help them pay, reduced the rent etc. Now I feel pretty stupid. I lost money just for being nice to my tenants. As a tenant I paid my bills regularly as I could, feel pretty shitty that I did.

Sorry California this is simply unacceptable.

I recommend Taleb's recent paper that tells why gold is no more good inflation hedge.

> One could argue this is Good.

Milton Friedman has several lectures around this. While excessive taxation and inflation are both bad for various reasons, inflation disproportionately hurts the poor.

People who own homes, businesses, stocks, cars, gold, silver, bitcoin, farm land etc. dont have to worry about inflation as much. Those who have only cash in hand are the losers. Poor people who typically have only few thousand dollars in cash deposit savings see their money being wipes out by inflation. You dont have to worry if you have sp500.

We sent few million emails using SES over few weeks, Sendgrid's deliverability was around 12 times better than that of SES.

Don't get me wrong, it might be perfectly fine choice for smaller projects but it is not a solution you would rely for scale. You have to build your own mailservers with warmed up IPs.

I have seen far too many articles of these types.

As someone who has sent billions of emails I can tell you the following.

1. SES is shit. 2. Value of mailchimp is not in its interface. It is in mail deliverability.

Use at least sendgrid.

I find price gouging to be perfectly normal and perhaps even desirable during times like these. If the toilet paper prices go up drastically people will not be able to hoard it the way they are doing today.

Honestly they don't even have to support most roads and road conditions and still build a useful product. Thinks of malls, sports complexes, university complexes, airport etc. where you can have Waymo shuttles to help ferry people from fixed point A and point B.

Having self driving cars plying from airport to nearby transportation hubs alone could be pretty useful.

I also see the potential for building infra that is specifically for automated vehicles (private roads and such).

Waymo can still be 10 years away from a good autonomous vehicle and still deliver value to consumers.

Did the students know this beforehand and despite knowing this joined UCSC ?
