Re: Nukkad

Am sure he had something to say to NaMo in private. The chap is in power thanks to his delirious rants. I suspect he is mostly a Chinese pawn and says what he does to please both his Chini masters or his voting public.

Re: Nukkad

"Healthcare is a big scam in India" ^^ :lol: My experience is the exact opposite... US healthcare system is an even bigger scam, looking to milk patients based on the level of insurance. Not to mention poor diagnosis skills leading to misdiagnosed results and further complications. So much for TFTA...

Re: Indian Air Force News and Discussions

epdJRXA23o8 This is a concise snapshot of why the Indian armed forces will not buy Indian products. At the risk of being banned, I would reiterate that the Dy Chief of Air Staff demonstrates why an Imported Air Force is preferable for the current crop of leadership.

Why would you consider a chini kit? Pricewise, asus zenfone 3 gives you better power for the same price. Nokia 6 or LG Q6 are the two capable alternatives (430 + 3 gb ram).

Re: Indian Economy - News & Discussion

Airtel ironically chased me to provide the KYC docs for a record third time. I escalated all the way up to their Ombudsman, but no one gives a ***.

I realize most cos in India are lala companies. Mentality and mindsets arise from this background, regardless of the region or language or religion.

Re: Phone, Tablet & Gizmo Thread

Two of my google accounts (unrelated accounts) were hacked. I have no more access to these.
From the UK! No idea how to recover these by contacting the Google team. Apparently, they just say we cannot verify that the account is yours and that's all that they need to do! Good fun.

Any suggestion for air purifier ?
I have a Moonbow at home and bought a Honeywell for my relative.
Avoid Philips or Mi.

Honeywell at 9k is a great value. Go with that!

RahulM, hope you do not mind, could the tagline have a different font too. Due to the texture, it becomes less enjoyable.
Which font did you select?

Re: Indian Economy - News & Discussion

Deans Sir, if Indirect taxes continue to grow in this manner, direct taxes can definitely be reduced. Just a few years ago, the ratio was 70:30, and it has steadily reached a point where indirect taxes are now more than direct tax collections. In a decade, hopefully local taxes will completely overs...

Sorry Sir, I don't see the numbers. Perhaps a tenth of that makes more sense. Even folks who have looted Maharashtra did not end up with that money, and they are truly all pawarful.

There are NIST benchmark tests where the algos go to get their badges. Have been trying to read up on OpenCv and other alternatives to see if it was possible to build a commercial alternative using open source software. Apparently the accuracy is just horrible. Raja, do you have any insights?

Some might have been weeded out. Not sure how the spammer got in though.
