  • How do they have handle identity thefts, spams, etc.?

    There are so many ways to misuse these data. Are the residents not concerned about this?

  • It could be my interpretation, the framing of the above comment feels as if Obama gave Trump the idea to use executive orders in expansive ways. I think Trump would have used executive orders expansive even if no president ever had used executive orders.

    Trump is just trying to get away with as much as he can. The tariffs used by Trump and his "jokes" about skippings election and other things he did are quite unprecedented.

  • I don't think we actually know who conceptualized the caste system. Even Manusmriti seems to be not as old as we thought before.

    However, even in Mahabharatha there are examples of Karna and Ekalavya who despite having qualities (as Yudhishtira claims) of Kshathriya, they were rejected by the society as being lesser.

    It is possible that caste system is an extension and crystallization of nepotism. Typically professions and trade secrets are handed down the families and it is conceivable this was codified at some point far in the past.

    To claim that caste system has a more philosophical foundation would be a bit of a stretch in my point of view, especially when it has been throughout the history being used suppress.

  • > You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action.

    > stick to your lane and don't complain. I.e. the caste system

    That verse is quite famous and the general interpretation as I understand is this.

    You have control on your actions but not on its results. The results depend not only on your actions but on many other factors outside of your control.

    Now, one can interpret that it is instruction to "stay in your lane", but I have not seen that interpretation so far in my life in India.

  • This is great! Only concern I have is that it seems Google is moving to Android Desktop OS. So would ChromeOS be supported in the future? What about the hardware support in this case?
