I keep coming back to the timing, and it does not sit right with me. Musk was just named co-lead of a Pentagon study on future warfare. A few days later his team is in Delhi saying Starlink is ready for India and the ground stations are already built. That order is what got me looking again. Starlink has been trying to enter India since around 2021. They got the telecom licence in June 2025 and the space approval in July 2025, but security clearance and the foreign investment nod are still pending. Even so, a SpaceX executive told an industry event they have already put up 20 gateway sites, Indian user data would stay in India, and they are waiting only for the government to finish its work. Then Musk posts that some oligarchs are blocking him and calls it a crime against the people of India. The ministry says Starlink, OneWeb and Jio Satellite are all at roughly the same stage. So why the sudden public push right after the Pentagon role? The public story is rural internet. What is already on the ground is a foreign satellite network with stations inside the country, before the security file is closed, run by a man who now sits in American war planning. Ukraine is the part I cannot ignore. Starlink basically became the communications line for the Ukrainian military. Musk has decided where it works and where it does not. He refused coverage for a strike toward Crimea. That is not a normal internet company. One private person had a say in what a country at war could even attempt. People bring up Bangladesh too. In 2024 the government was thrown out after protests, and Starlink was in the picture around that period. I am not saying a satellite dish caused the protests. What I am saying is that once a foreign network is overhead and not fully under local control, someone outside has a channel that does not depend on the local phone companies. That matters when a country is already unstable. The same point gets made about a few other places. On India, it feels like the attempt never really stopped. Delays, public posts from Musk, equipment built before the final yes, and a steady run of street trouble, farm protests, communal incidents and online campaigns. None of it has to be one big order. It only needs a network that stays up if local systems are under stress, run by someone who has shown in Ukraine that he will use the off switch. That is the part I cannot shake. India is being asked to approve a system whose owner answers to no Indian ministry, has already steered a war through connectivity decisions, and is now tied to Pentagon planning, while the ground stations are in place before security clearance is done. The oligarch posts look like pressure. The gateways look like a footprint. Ukraine and Bangladesh are what people should question, when they say this is not only about selling internet.
A post from 2022. More relevant today. X is not what it seems. And it along with Starlink under Elon and Trump admin will play a big role in India's political and geopolitical issues going forward. As long as India doesn't align with them.

Happy Birthday, Carl. You taught millions of us that being small is not the same as being unimportant. You taught us to be citizens of the cosmos, to be curious, to doubt loudly, and to be gentle with each other on this pale blue dot we call home. We are still looking up. We are still asking. And in this cold, indifferent universe, your voice is one of the warmest things we return to, again and again. It reminds us to be kind, to hold on to our humanity, to keep the candle from guttering out in the dark, and to keep reaching until one day we stand among the stars. Happy Birthday, and thank you for everything. 💙

No. 8 address the White Supremacy
Replying to @GLBinvestor
1. Factory-farming tens of billions of animals in extreme confinement for food. 2. Flooding oceans and human bodies with microplastics from single-use everything. 3. Handing kids phones engineered for addiction and attention extraction. 4. Manually driving cars that kill 1.2 million people every year. 5. Dumping CO2 into the atmosphere while fully aware of the damage. 6. Treating cancer by poisoning the whole body and hoping the tumor dies first. 7. Making surveillance and data sales the default business model of the internet. 8. Using dry toilet paper instead of water. 9. Raising children primarily on screens as digital pacifiers. 10. Working 40+ sedentary hours a week that systematically wreck body and mind.

This is f*cking insane. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt just told everyone the easiest way to get rich in the next two years, and it's not stocks or crypto: "If you really want to make money, it's actually easy, found an agentic AI company, I mean build an agent to do something If you build a better agent than anyone else, you can probably build one incredible company and own it yourself" The man who ran Google for 10 years explains in under 30 seconds why the next year or two is the agentic period, and why the window won't stay open Prompts → Claude Code → Loops → Graphs → Gates → A Company You Own Yourself Save this before it disappears from your feed Everything below is free: Building effective agents (Anthropic) anthropic.com/engineering/bu… How Anthropic built its multi-agent research system anthropic.com/engineering/mu… Harnesses for long-running agents anthropic.com/engineering/ef… Writing tools for agents anthropic.com/engineering/wr… Claude Code 101 anthropic.skilljar.com/claud… Claude Code in action anthropic.skilljar.com/claud… Prompt engineering platform.claude.com/docs/en/… Subagents (parallel work) code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-… Hooks (checks that can say no) code.claude.com/docs/en/hook… CLAUDE.md + memory code.claude.com/docs/en/clau… Skills code.claude.com/docs/en/skil… MCP code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp LangGraph (graphs of agents) langchain-ai.github.io/langg… Karpathy's autoresearch (an agent in a loop) github.com/karpathy/autorese… All of this costs $0 95% will spend the agentic period scrolling AI threads.

April 2012. A rusted Harley washes ashore in North America after drifting 4,000 miles from the Japanese tsunami. Harley Davidson offered to make it brand new for free, and a 29 year old man who had nothing left turned them down. His name was Ikuo Yokoyama. Before the March 2011 earthquake, that black 2004 Night Train was everything to Yokoyama. Then the tsunami hit Miyagi Prefecture, killing 15,000 people, including three members of his own family. For over a year, Yokoyama slept on the floor of a tiny temporary shelter. Everything he had ever owned was at the bottom of the Pacific. Or so he thought. When Peter Mark discovered the salt crusted bike inside a broken storage box on Graham Island, Harley executives in Milwaukee stepped up. They offered to restore every bolt and fly the gleaming machine home to Japan. Yokoyama shook his head. He could not bear the thought of riding a shiny motorcycle past grieving neighbors who had lost their spouses and kids. Instead, he gave up the last surviving piece of his old life. He asked Harley to display the bike untouched in Wisconsin, still crying ocean salt and red rust, as a voice for the 15,000 people who could no longer speak. It stands there untouched to this day. A man who lost everything refused a brand new dream so 15,000 strangers would never be erased from memory.

Hia dog has written this post lol
I’m a Muslim, yet I believe Bakrid is hundred times better than Diwali, at least people don’t harm animals in those festivals. One guy threw a fire cracker at my dog last night.

🇺🇸 HOLY SHIT! This pilot wanted GTA 6 to have a special advertisement on FlightRadar Benjamin McDaniel, known as "The Pilot Picasso," flew his plane and TRACED a full mural of the game over Arkansas. He’s done this before with the Mona Lisa, The Scream, and Spider-Man. Now he needed to do the same for the game before the launch on November 19. Insane! Source: Flightradar24 / Writer: Lucas

INDIA IS THE ONLY MAJOR MARKET IN ASIA THAT'S GREEN TODAY. Japan crashed as much as 7% Korea 8.8% Taiwan 9% And India's Nifty just hit a 3-month high and is on track for its best week since 2021. In the last 2 weeks: • India: +10% • Taiwan: -13.8% • Korea: -8.8% • Japan: -8.4% Looks like India is the only major anti-AI trade left globally, as it has almost zero exposure to AI.

We live in a no trust society
So Deepinder Goyal posted about the Blinkit ambulance service, which was running free of cost. People started using it for routine check-ups. Now he has said that they'll charge ₹2,500 for such cases and ₹0 for genuine emergency cases. People will always exploit good services in India and make everyone suffer. Sometimes, it feels like we're becoming a low-trust society.

If US can't take on a non nuclear nation then how can it ever think of waging a war with Russia.
BREAKING: The Trump Administration and the US Military are finishing preparations for a possible resumption of "major" combat operations in Iran, per Axios. Details include: 1. Preparations including sending more assets to the Middle East, US officials say 2. Vice President JD Vance has privately accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of "being wrong on everything" regarding Iran 3. A former Trump Adivsor says, "it's one thing to lose the midterms. But Trump doesn't want to look like a loser twice" Markets now await Trump's next move.

You built a web app. Your users want it on their phone. You don't need the App Store for that. Paste this into Claude Code: "Turn this web app into an installable phone app (PWA). •⁠ ⁠Add the manifest, icons in every size and a splash screen •⁠ ⁠Make it open full screen like a native app, with no browser bar •⁠ ⁠Cache it so the main screens still load offline •⁠ ⁠Add an 'Install app' button that appears on iPhone and Android •⁠ ⁠Then test it with Lighthouse and fix anything that fails" Users tap "Add to Home Screen" and it sits next to their other apps. No review, no fees.

I don’t know why, but this announcement makes me genuinely happy. The proposed Agniveer reforms address one of the biggest concerns surrounding the scheme: career uncertainty. An additional two years of service, a pathway to permanent enrolment, better salaries and an enhanced Seva Nidhi. Most importantly, it signals that feedback from the ground is being heard and the system is willing to evolve. Thank you CDS & Team
