Magic leap delivered AR glasses running SLAM. It over sold on the market for it, didnt lie about whether it would work and didn’t test on patients looking for medicial care. You sound very uninformed. Theranos founders are serving prison sentences. Big Difference.

It just doesn’t add up that someone of his profile (2nd generation techie, grew up in Bay Area, liked hiking, bicycling, rock climbing, etc.) would own a gun in San Francisco. Why isn’t SFPD clarifying what the gun trace led them to ? Was it a legal firearm ? Who bought it ? Where ?

Exactly. When I saw the reaction to RRR, I was reminded of how “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” was received in the US back then. It would be akin to an Asian / Indian audience only watching A sub genre of movies made in Hollywood.

I agree that RRR has its place. Like so many other Avenger style genre movies. The problem is that it just advances a stereotype and bias about what an American audience expects when they sit down to watch a Korean film, or a Chinese film, or an Indian film.

They are all just films, just like Hollywood makes different genres, these countries make films in every genre. At least the Indian film industry is a behemoth large enough to be able to make movies in every genre.

Given the number of movies made and regions, and decades, I’d run out of breath. But I’d start here.

Malayalam Films : Known for their subtlety and craft in film making, and obsession with crime novels. Dhrishyam part 1 & 2 are like no movies I’ve seen in Hollywood.

Hindi Films: Or Bollywood movies, known for their big stars, great attention to set pieces of grand dance sequence s and decent romantic comedies / sports movies. Hard to pick one as nothing has shined recently. I’d give “Zindagi Na milega dubara” / “Chak dhe” a look. Again nothing spectacular recently unless you want to watch a classic from the seventies “Sholay”

Tamil movies : Gritty movies about inner city gangs / social upheaval or focus on stellar music/dance romantic comedies and major action blockbusters. From recent years I’d give “Vada Chennai”, or “Vikram Vedha” a chance for gritty urban movies. Or just the most recent action blockbuster “Vikram”. Which has a really good score.

Telugu movies (the original language for RRR) : I’d give “Pushpa” a look before watching CGI drenched RRR.

Who cares if they used Blender or Maya. As an Indian (and a South Indian at that), I must say I’m embarrassed at the level of attention this movie is getting for its over the top use of cringey special effects. There are so many other worthwhile Indian films to watch and enjoy.

Appurify's mission is to help app developers make apps that will "not bug out sooner or later". That's our main point, debugging and testing tools for mobile are way behind where they need to be. When an app is really buggy/crashy the number of genuine 1-star reviews far outweighs fickle people.

Hello there, as the principal data scientist at Appurify (a mobile testing and automation company) I'm happy to field questions on our findings here.
