U.S. Government to Take Cut of Nvidia and AMD A.I. Chip Sales to China

ತ್ರೋಯಿಂಗ್ ದ ಬೇಬಿ ಔಟ್ ವಿದ್ ದ ಬಾತ್ವಾಟರ್-ಗೆ, ಸಮಾನವಾಗಿ ಅನಾನಸ್ ಕಣ್ಣಿನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಣ್ಣನ್ನೂ ಎಸೆದಂತೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಬಹುದು. #ಕನ್ನಡ

Narendra and the ghost of Jawaharlal, Donald and Barack. Too many parallels.

ಜಗತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಎರಡು ರೀತಿಯ ಜನರಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಆದಷ್ಟು ಮಾಂಸ ಸಿಗಬೇಕೆಂದು, ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೀಳದೆ ಸುಲಿಯುವವರು; ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು ಚೂರೂ ಇರಬಾರದೆಂದು ಅರ್ಧದಷ್ಟು ಮಾಂಸವನ್ನು ಹಾಳು ಮಾಡಿ ಸುಲಿಯುವವರು. ಅದಕ್ಕೇನೀಗ ಎಂದರೆ ನನಗೂ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.

ಅನಾನಸ್ ಕತ್ತರಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಉದಾರ ಮನೋಭಾವ ತೋರಿಸಿದ್ದ ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜಂದಿರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಬಹುಶ ತಮ್ಮ ಜೀವಮಾನದಲ್ಲೇ ಅನಾನಸ್ ತುಂಡು ಮಾಡಿರಲಿಕ್ಕಿಲ್ಲ.
ಆ ದಿನ ನಾನು, ಅವರ ಮಾತು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು, ಅನಾನಸ್ ಕತ್ತರಿಸಲು ತೊಡಗಿಕೊಂಡರೆ, ದುರಾಸೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ತುಂಡರಿಸುವ ನನ್ನ ಪರಿ ನೋಡಿ ಗಾಬರಿಯಾದ ನನ್ನ ಅಮ್ಮ ಮತ್ತು ತಂಗಿ, “ನೀನದನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಬೇಡ, ನಾವೇ ನೋಡ್ತೇವೆ”, ಎಂದು ಓಡಿಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟರು. #ಕನ್ನಡ

Same topic. But CNN seems to have beaten everyone else for using “Orwellian”.

Agree, perfect usage of “ಮಗ”!

Hyderabad peak hour traffic time has increased by 10-30 mins in the last few months. Now even 8:30am isn’t safe. It has disrupted my morning office schedule.

a merger of Tantrik Buddhism with a Tantrik Saiva sect called Natha, turned a Buddhist figure Manjushri into Manjunatha.
Dharmasthala or Kuduma also had spirit/goddess worshipping shrines before Shiva temple. Most likely, the popularity was derived from those shrines.

One opinion was that, these temples were already popular in pre-Brahmanical times. The name Manjunatha, the main deity in Dharmasthala, originated in another temple in Kadri, Mangaluru. That temple was initially a spirit shrine, which was turned into a Buddhist (most likely Tantrik) temple. Later

the deity is Shiva, and the priests are Vaishnavas. It’s as if the persistence of the caste system is irrelevant, while the opportunistic integration of theoretical divisions is something to be celebrated.

Despite the reforms, feudal chieftains like the Heggades (most of whom are Jains) retained their power. The biggest joke was that they called and celebrated Dharmasthala a place of religious harmony—where the temple is owned by Jains,

I remember reading that land reforms were implemented effectively in DK. However, casteism might have been worse there, as the region was culturally closer to Kerala, which had one of the worst caste systems in all of South India (if not all of India).

ಬ್ಯಾರಿ ಭಾಷಿಕನೊಬ್ಬ ನನ್ನ ಇಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್ ಕ್ಲಾಸ್ಮೇಟ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದ. ಊರಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಮನ್ ಲ್ಯಾಂಗ್ವೆಜ್ ತುಳು ಇಲ್ಲಾ ಕನ್ನಡವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ಕರುನಾಡಿಗೆ ಬಂದ ತಕ್ಷಣ, (ಮತ್ತು ಅವನ ಮುಸ್ಲಿಮ್ ಹೆಸರು ಕೇಳಿದ ತಕ್ಷಣ) ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಅವನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಿಂದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಲು ತೊಡಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಅವನು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಫ್ಲೂಯೆಂಟ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದ. ಹೊಸಬರೇನಾದರೂ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದರೆ ಅವನ ಸಹಜ ಪ್ರಿಫರೆನ್ಸ್ ಕನ್ನಡವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಹಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ, ತುಂಬಾ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು(ಉತ್ತರ-ದಕ್ಷಿಣಗಳ ಬಿರುಕಿಲ್ಲದೆ) ಅವನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಿಂದಿಯಲ್ಲೇ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.

The rumours had always been there. The working-class people whispered about them, but the educated class also showed slavish devotion to the main figure. If the majority of victims were from the working class, the educated middle class and Hindutvites would make every effort to protect the accused.

I guess Bluesky is another left wing experimentation. Its inability to add features like Grok as it goes against its policy of decentralisation is a classic left wing limitation.

I had written about that episode but seems to have not included the article link that triggered it.

British times. There was a famous case of remarriage of a Sudra woman and Tilak’s vehement opposition to it.

True. Even divorce or annulment wasn’t uncommon in the past for non-Brahmins. I think Sati was restricted to ruling families initially but later spread to castes who identified as Kshatriya.
However, I believe the loosening of untouchability enabled orthodox Brahmins to influence Sudras during

uncommon. The caste and Islamic chastity rules have made these tribes to adopt barbaric practices.

The woman, victim of the "honour" killing, was a #Brahui. Until very recently, the concept of sexual purity wasn't even there with Dravidian tribes. Women co-habited, left, co-habited with men as they chose. In fact, even among mainstream Dravidians like Malayalis, the serial monogamy wasn't

It was a Brahmin woman and a non-Brahmin man involved in that incident. I believe, a Brahmin man would have invoked ego, if not rational self-respect.

Idk how come people can take electoral politics of India seriously after the mass rigging in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. That's not even holding on to the last hope.

New study confirms far higher risk of blood clots from COVID-19, than from vaccines A health data study confirms the risk of blood clots is far higher from COVID-19 infection than from vaccination.

This is from July 2025. This has always been the case. Why hasn’t the government acted to tackle misinformation on vaccines. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.hdruk.ac.uk/news/new-stu...
