Also, wasn't it back in the day people did the fastest initial ritual of using DOS for installing a whole big Win/*nix OS much like internet explorer for Chrome? Hilarious imagining DOS being the host for Linux programs.

With respect to both the comments you gave as a reply, I have read the guidelines and will abide by it.
Also, I won't protest you nor engage on this whole thread anymore. Its a whole new sunny day here in India, and I hope yours is too.
Make fun of it. Argue against it. Ignore it.
Please stop this spreading this non-sensical misinformation.
The cartoon shows two formal dressed westerners in elite space club room startled by one uneducated man knocking with a dhoti and starving sleepy cow he catches by a rope just like village people used to do strolling on the streets of the past.
Is this the research you do to depict our Indian scientists and leaders or is it the idea that elitist differentiation of class, wealth and societal backwardness was to be shown here?
Besides, nowhere on the article it mentions that they have done their homework based on this story. Cows were not used. Open Bullock carts were used. Do you think putting a bullock cart in a cartoon would have been more difficult task to achieve than putting a Chandrayan on Moon? But no, you just have to stick to stereotype and squeeze out a rational meaning from it.
Give me a good citation and accuse me of throwing the racism card around.
What are you implying or what are you trying to say if not my 'hearing' then?
I am all ears now. Go on!
When Pakistan successfully became a nuclear capable nation in 2000s, Indians had the same reactions - to laugh at their stupidity of misplaced priorities.
The cartoon is trying to make an invalid point and insult India with their joke, that is how it became racist. It did not become racist by the idea of painting a set of people with broad brush.
The cartoon shows an unwelcome 'Indian' is knocking the door of super powers to be let in the elite club room amusing those inside it. If this is the case it is a huge discouragement for India because no matter what we do, even without any cheap superficial attempt to impress other countries, we will be mocked at with backdrop of embarrassing history that is no longer true and widespread as they make it seem to drive home the point with. This callousness is what makes NYT racist.
Is it not racist to think India is hungry and desperate for power recognition, show off and then being complacent after like the people inside the room?
The subsequent money we get from West to deploy their payloads through the same advanced missions was also improving our poverty and cheaper for them .
Apart from mere recognition of a fact of our achievement, we know we have other problems we are famous for and funded by International bodies, including West themselves. So what makes NYT want to rub the salt into the wound in as if we forgot, at a time of celebration? Where else is it coming from, if not from the place of disdain onto this other nation?
You have to have some special kind of psychopathy to make fun of other country's poverty when they do know that the space missions are conducted after calculating all the costs and SWOT analysis taking into account of such poverty. Or do you think we are not intelligent enough for that?
It is this contemptuousness that I call NYT racist, not the one you elaborated upon.
I can't be fighting a fellow bully and simultaneously be a student participating in group discussions in classroom when it comes to arseholes like the above.
This one was the first or maybe second from my side since 2014. You see, I couldn't have imagined this rude surprise of racism at HN. It felt so personal, even though there is no abnormal attachment to my country, I felt I had to give him a good earfull.
I have nothing against comments of criticism like these, even though coming from a fellow Indian, you see - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35407658
It doesn't feel like I got blew by my own people reading that comment. It didn't knock the wind out of me. It didn't make me insecure.
But here you are bothering about India's perverse fixation about competing with West. Heck, If West violated every law there is and blatantly copied to advance its interests and no one else, India doesn't have money to fight in ICJ courts or otherwise. Why are you making your ignorance so apparent for no one to sympathize with you?
What else? Should we be coming again and again to West because we don't have problem solving skills or at the least, a mind of our own, that we should ask elites like you?
Sewage isn't in the streets? Will you land down in my country giving free consultation if I show you cities that make you envy to be too costly to purchase a square feet of land?
The most intelligent suggestion you could come up with is to drop everything in our hands and only make sewages disappear. Till then we won't even bath or eat. How about that?
Don't you understand that we are not here for show off and compete? We are competing against superpowers called poverty and societal backwardness, security of merchant navy, and all, not WEST. West is our ally and vice versa.
In fact, I have given multiple examples like Ed-Tech platforms, internet penetration for MSME, and all, but you won't listen only to come back to square one - superficial effort against superpowers. If this is not judgmental, then what is it? If this is not racist, then what is it?
The project reports are required to detail the outline the intended outcomes. Now another round is made for such outcomes to be compare at state and national level. Multiple permissions and meeetings are done here about this. In between all of these, consultants from McKinsey and BCG are brought in along with experts to assess the practicality of claims. This is not enough for you? Oh, wait. you are ignorant, how would you know?
"There is no reason for you to have taken my comment so personally..." Why not? You say Indians are inefficient and not intelligent enough to have their own problems solved. That is racist. It doesn't matter if you talk about a country like India or India itself. You are racist to talk about a country like India then, that is all. It still makes you racist is what I want to say.
"I made a point and stated an opinion." - YOU WERE QUICKLY JUDGEMENTAL. Always ask and then say. At least say by framing it is a question to get the benefit of doubt.
A closed mind cannot be filled. Nor is an open one with a holes under. So please stop suggesting me and start listening.
That is what is happening with @Zurrrrr guy. In fact, he is not questioning. He is just implying inefficiency and opinionating on inferior problem solving skills of India on things he won't cite his research on. That is what makes it racist.
When US was cross questioned about cost benefit analysis and comparative budge analysis, it was promptly done so by NGOs and UN backing up with how that strategy is flawed. But US was hell bent on prestige of being first in space and that reply was apparent and open to criticism.
There was no deeper prodding/questioning into the specifics or support of arguments by @Zurrrrr here. There was just a quick judgmental attitude which made me claim prejudice in him. I urge you read his comment again.
Making someone specifically racist comment is not the bar to judge. Why would someone educated make it so blatant in 2023? Racists will always incorporate euphemisms and innuendos among many other tools to crystallize their thought of racism.
And what makes you think we don't do that already? Did you read monthly public health outcomes and human rights outcomes research either by third party or government ministers?
Did you see no programs and collaborative efforts by NGOs and Government?
Did you see no improvements in critiqued yearly and monthly reports of famous research journals like 'Economics and Political Weekly' and Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Health and family welfare, etc?
What is your picture on comparative analysis of rape "endemic" across other factors normalized, like by country, by per capita, by development index, by any rank for that matter?
You think our civil service officers don't do cost benefit analysis? You think we don't have Finance commission to develop an algorithm and spread budgets accordingly?
Racism is looking at us like we are dorks by race. To think that the above commentor has posed this novel question but not Indians only to do inefficient decision is racist and ignorance!
I read Germany making a U turn with respect to Nuclear and fossil fuels. Everybody gives deep arguments as if I am sitting in the policy think tank. That is why I've come to HN.
I see Russia investing in war, everybody gives deep arguments I feel like I am in a war room. That is why I've come to HN
I read Australia investing in Hydrogen, Plutonium, Uranium, etc. I feel hope in the my children and a bit of excitement. That is why I've come to HN.
I see India investing in space, nobody writes the how and why behind their "suggestions". Nobody quotes budget session of parliaments discussing this at length. Apparently it is enough to "suggest a country to do something" and not be called out for racism quoting nothing be it citations or build up logic behind the suggestions.
As far as my rant, you are falling for tu-Quoque fallacy. At least my censure is acting like a reminder to be civil and focused to the purpose of this site, and has only conjured in reaction rather than prophylaxis or presumptuous preemptive warning. What did the racist OP's comment serve, except for my arse to heat up?
"and yet you yourself contribute nothing but pejorative."
What? I contribute articles and comments from 2014 and this articles is also my contribution. I was hoping at least 10 people would dwell upon this.
I didn't contribute to the discussion? My bad. I apologize. But this doesn't take away my eligibility to slap idiots right on their heads when they try to contaminate a space I love. I need not get a lifetime moderator license for that, certainly not on my own contribution.
So would you mind explaining what actually you want to say?
"It's baffling to me that India is putting so much money into being part of the next space race, when they still have such vast and prominent problems on the ground.
You could say that for many countries, but there is a difference in degree IMO."
Said every racist and ignorant ever. You think we don't have people who make cost benefit analysis before investing in such projects? We don't have parliament and budget sessions?
The payloads we deploy immensely help us socially and technologically advance. Do you know that?
Ed tech itself got eGyanKosh, Swayam, NPTEL, private teachings on govt. platforms so cheap that by next year about a quarter million adults will be uplifted out of poverty. That funding is given to satellites launched by ISRO. Did you know that?
Had it not been for ISRO, we wouldn't have had larger outreach of instant cash transfers and payments. Did you know that?
Had it not been for ISRO we wouldn't be able to fight societal superstitions or bring in public health education drives let alone dumb down power play of society by caste and gender. Do you know that?
That also includes targeted courses for farmers about endemic genetic problems, weather, pests to Artists about film-making. Did you know that?
Even the money we get to deploy other western country's payloads makes people lift out of poverties in a single digit of percentage of populations in a city for every year! Do you know that?
But no. A random pompous clueless stranger on the internet comes to an sweet intelligent discussion site and declares he is baffled and India should now hold a inter-ministerial meeting to stop space projects.
These people have been everywhere from NYTIMES cartoonists to HN unfortunately. I don't understand how should one ban from this site either.
You are not contributing to the intended discussion of this site relating to the link posted, but yourself. You just want to throw around how baffled you are and sleep back in your mother's basement.
This is the common theme of my friends and me(age>30).
1. We get satiated with porn, as noted in this article, but also life size sex toys, friends with benefits and plenty of sex workers. None of them complained how average looking or boring I was, even though I was one
2. An inconsistance with popular stereotype, We get satisfied with emotional relationship and intimacy via blood relatives and friends. The dense networking effects eased me into their personal life before and during the pandemic. Everybody is happy with it. I just had a dinner with my thesis advisor( 6 years back when I was in University), vented my family feuds for hours at length with my close friends, burst out on how silly the office politics were while doing some woodworking with my gym buddies. At the same time, I have deep sense of camaraderie with my colleagues. No one is gay to my knowledge, nor is one socially motivated by being one in such situations. I haven't described my social circle of neighbors who lent me big stash of money in troubling times!
3. We never wanted a woman for a need. I am perfectly alright sleeping alone, waking up alone, eating alone in a big empty house, seeing PDA all day in parties or public, or travelling all alone. I just couldn't come up with a situation of my life where a void or need with a women is to be filled even in social life. Even close family events are not at all a taboo to be presented as single.
4. I knew the hints women were throwing at me, I just couldn't understand why because they could easily have what I have and more. When you want monogamy + marriage + children + family, why judge me and repudiate harshly whenever I clarify my tastes?
5. I get paid good for SV or NY and have advanced degrees myself, but the real game changer was lasting frienships formed at all points of life. The networking effects(as elaborated in 2) led plenty of women to me and me to plenty of women.
6. Is there a research supporting alone men with lonely men? Like deteriorating mental health?
