The current situation of layoffs is happening because IT companies are seeing that clients want to spend their budgets on automation, continuous delivery, big data, machine learning etc. none of which is trivial. If you have plain Java/.NET/PHP programming skills, it is a tough road to get on to the...

Good work Singhaji. I am sure lot of people visit and appreciate the diligent efforts you put tracking the war against jihadis.

WTH, hitting our soft underbelly. Needs to be met with massive, disproportionate response.

IIRC there were reports of Shaurya being guided all the way like a cruise missile. Even wiki calls it "Cruise Missile Hybrid".

Santosh

Yes, Nirbhay. Edited above.

Santosh

Curiosity question - why is it that Nirbhay is seeing so many technical challenges inspite of being subsonic 1000 KM range missile while the more complex hypersonic, 2000 KM range Shaurya is already is production?

I met Harsh once as part of "SSC meet".

Didn't realize he was part of BRF until he told me.

Happy Birthday BRF. I have spent 13 years on BRF and counting... Sincere thanks to all those who fund this endeavor and spend their time moderating these threads.

Time to build Shaurya and Agni in tens of thousands. Any Chinese misadventure in India should be retaliated by unacceptable damage to China - atleast capability wise.

KJo probably got outsmarted by some "onsite" variety from Infy/Oil Co. Hence his deep distrust of Indian IT giants

So Turkey and Russia are foes in Syria but friends in Qatar. That explains all chai-biscoot sessions Turkey is holding with Russia. Also Euphrates Shield seems to be cooling off. They may have reached some agreement in Syria in exchange of political gains for Turkey elsewhere in gulf. From Indian PO...

By the way @Shehla_Rashid Ji, is it true that behind "abhijeet" handle suspension, it was all Lal Salaam & JNU gang?
WHY? How is Janab?

Looks like DGP twitter handle may also get suspended. Abhijeet is suspended and Sonu Nigam quit twitter.

Singha ji, your knaalidge and coverage of Syria/Iraq war and geography is really amazing.

Good to see Tejas progressing so well towards FOC. Is there anything else pending for FOC other than missile and gun trials?

A company called Neurotec. They are based somewhere in Oirope I think. Know them well. They worked with Accenture for the UID demo. Marten saar, are you in same/similar field?

Four months ago I joined a startup in the identity management space. There is a ton of competition but biometrics based identity management is our differentiator among things.

Le Pen seems to have favourable views on India. She thinks that the new world belongs to visionaries like Zee, Putin and Modi. Nato type policies to subjugate rest of the world will not work. She wants to pull France closer to Russia, and away from Nato.That was an interesting read.

We couldn't even provide enough cash to pull Nepal or Sri Lanka fully into our orbit.

Will there be further orders for Dhanush after trials are completed, or will they move on to ATAGS after 114 Dhanush?

So what happens now? Russia and Syria will go after Idlib with a vengence. Will US continue to go after ISIS in raqqa with their chums - Turkey and SDF as they have been planning for a month now? Or will they take this opportunity to pivot and start fighting SAA? If they do, they will have officiall...

I was excited 5-6 years ago when we passed Russia and Canada in terms on nominal GDP and were looking to pass Italy next. Brazil seemed far away because they were still going strong at that time and I thought maybe we would pass France and UK before Brazil. But we are number 6 now and would be numbe...

What needs to be seen is if this attack is followed by any large scale military build up by US or if they continue to attack Syrian assets as punishment. Given how fast it came, this could be a face saving measure from DT since he has been hammered badly at home.

After 15 long years in land of milk and honey, I am planning to R2I this June. Starting to look for itvity jobs in Mumbai. It feels very different thinking about leaving massa. But I am excited about moving to Mumbai. BTW, I can't find the R2I dhaga. Has it been nuked by admins?

Per Wiki, India's nominal GDP at the end of FY 2015-16 is $2.40 trillion. During FY 2015, France's GDP per Wiki was $2.42 trillion.

IMO, this is all talk. Nothing substantial will come out of it for the next 10 years.

Mumbai also has an operational Monorail line. The first phase is about 9 KM. The second phase is about 10 Km and will be operational in early 2016.
