Re: Amazing India

Looks like a war is going to happen anytime now. I doubt if a full fledged war will happen. What most likely will happen is a surgical strike and a 'response' from Pak. I suspect many governments from middle east particularly and some private businessmen could be working on a formula with India and...

Re: US Stock Market

Bill Maher has lost many progressive fans going by the thousands of YouTube comments. I think he is a sell out and lost credibility after this.

Re: US Stock Market

Horrible delivery report but TSLA is up based on the rumor that Musk is "getting out of dodge" of DOGE! But I doubt this can redeem his reputation and resurrect his sales and the stock. Musk may get out of DOGE, but will he get out of Trump's orbit is the question. As long as he keeps ins...

Re: Puerto Rico vacation

What did Bhutan do to be on the red list along with Iran, Syria and Pakistan? Did one of those Elon's 19 year old staffer prepare the list and added the peaceful Buddhist nation by mistake?

Re: US Stock Market

It is amusing to see the interesting situation Musk has gotten himself into...the product he makes (electric cars) are hated by the MAGA crowd as they are mostly fans of gas guzzling 'manly' cars, SUVs and pickup trucks from Detroit. The people who loves electric cars (liberals) hates musk passionat...

Re: Driving (Highways)

Most deaths in India are pedestrians, who are walking on streets without any care in the world. It is not the fault of the pedestrians, more than 90% of the roads (at least here in Bangalore) does not have footpath leaving the pedestrians no choice but to walk on the road. It is so appalling to see...

Re: Indians being deported from the US

There is a huge hue and cry here in India about the way the Illegal immigrants from India were treated when they were deported (put in shackles, treated like criminals). Main stream and social media is full of this news and there is a lot of outrage. I see a clear double standard here. You see a num...

Re: Post retirement life in India

I have decided to live/retire in the US unless and until I am kicked out and the India visits would be infrequent in the future as well. Completely understandable. I think most people who lived in the US as long as you have would do the same. I came back to India after living in the US after less t...

Re: Post retirement life in India

I see India as the next Guyana with higher COL than the US I think it is a bit exaggerated. If the COL in India becomes higher than the US most people in India will die of starvation! The COL, the prices of basic necessities are much lower here compared to US. My elderly parents live in our ancestr...

Re: US AI industry

Deepsake developers showed it is possible to do what ChatGPT, Gemini and other bots does using far fewer computing resources. While ChatGPT uses 16,000 latest version GPUs from Nvidia, Deepsake could train their bot using 2000 GPUs and that too less powerful older version ones. This will force OpenA...
