Suraj ji, thanks for the pointers. I understand that Huawei has a significant share of IP in the standards. However, the standards require licensing on certain terms, this applies to all IP holders. I am trying to understand, how Huawei can dictate terms because there are other alternatives in the g...

Katareji, the limit of 12 years does not apply to Ram Lalla, since the deity is considered a minor. So this is an aspect which is different from the usual property disputes.

prahaar

Sumji, there are risk of regulatory roadblocks to sell in multiple markets for Huawei (US, EU, Australia, JP, etc.). In what capacity do you envision Huawei dictating terms? The entire reason for a standard is that everyone can use a specification to implement an inter-operable system.

Sajaym, current visual capture for omnidirectional capture is not sufficient to REPLACE human vision. There are many scenarios where it can certainly help. IMO, mixed reality is more suitable than than virtual reality. I am referring to the "sensing" aspect, which includes situational awar...

I have apprehensions that situation could get a lot more tricky than most jingo crowd, including myself, is willing to consider.

The irony is that all icons (other than terrorist Periyar) are all Tambrams or Not ethic Tamilians.

What sort of ethnic Tamilians are you referring to and Tamil Brahmins not being Tamilians? There is no evidence to substantiate such a claim.

I just remembered that the WAP-1 and WAP-4 are Indian designed electric locos, though with imported power electricals (Hitachi traction motors in the latter, as far as I recall). WAG9-HH by CLW is a step in the right direction. Upgrading a 6000hp freight locomotive to 9000hp. The standard WAG9 cost...

Om Shanti.

Should we not consider the possibility that the structure which was attacked was not a usual brick and mortar construction? A hardened reinforced place for the JEM faculty graduates and alumni could feel safe.

Thanks for providing new views on the topic without any new evidence.

Are you suggesting that these things are happening in Sabarimala due to UP police officers? Did the person who was thrown from the clip also UP officer?

The above claim is such a lame excuse. The CM of the state is from Kerala, the Home Minister as well, so are the people who put him in power (electoral mandate as per the constitution). Now putting blame on a servant of the government of Kerala (who in this case may be from UP) is in extreme bad tas...

Look at the rise in "legal intervention" gun deaths. Given that the total is like 31K per year, you expect to hear of nearly 600 (SIX HUNDRED) every week!!! We are clearly not even hearing of the vast majority, just a few here and there. So there's the answer. 12 ppl getting murdered in a...

J&K solution may not be only military, but it needs military at least for the time being. Republic of India has the staying power and it should persistently dominate the terrorists in the few districts they operate substantially. Probably the people who follow/act in the course of events may get...

Excerpt from Lt-Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (Retd) article: "The public perception over the FIR against Major Aditya has been mostly emotive. An FIR is the best action to be taken. But the Centre needs to review AFSPA for better soldier protection." http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/comment/logic-...

Defining SLAs and their enforcement is a power industry norm. I am glad this is being done. This will result in some increase in tariffs, but reduction in power loss with improved technical solution and reduced theft should compensate some of this.

Any information about GST APIs for real time monitoring of tax filings? This can be a great tool to obtain interesting information by mining the filings based on different categories of tax returns.

No disagreements with whatever you have written above.

You are referring to the need for increased robustness in the allocation of AADHAR...

The problem with Aadhar currently is that there are not sufficient cross linkages to verify if an AADHAR number is in the system is valid. According to me, since Aadhar is used as a key to connect different DBs, it is prudent to have Aadhar validity checked at key places. A need for manual request f...

Dipankerji, do you think a new bran service will operate at full rate in first phase of operation?

It really does not matter in the long term because......... 1) we will all be dead anyway. 2) Traction will move towards electric anyway, not just India but worldwide. This is a no brainer. 3) Forcing the pace towards electric traction without any viable plan to utilize/repurpose/retire diesel asse...

The consolidation of traction was not done by Piyush Goyal, the senior railway official is factually incorrect about that. We remember the discussion in the past pages where the plan of eventual all electric traction was visible (during Suresh Prabhu tenure). https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi...

Thanks Surajji for the link to 2015-2016 budget. Does the HSR in the above refer to speeding up using Gatimaan/etc. or is it related to Bullet Train? I guess it is the former.

Zyndaji, what you say is absolutely true. Sudden change of decision for diesel to electric indicates scope for improvement in planning. On the other hand, the change could also be a result of the climate change commitments which occurred in April Paris accord 2016.
