> For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order.
As an Indian listening to this, this comes across as absurd. Trudeau constantly invoked this phrase when dealing with India about the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. It basically meant Trudeau could level allegations, not provide any evidence, and strut as if he as won. In due course, the murderers turned out to be their own terrorists.
>It basically meant Trudeau could level allegations, not provide any evidence, and strut as if he as won.
Canada's case was well corroborated by US and UK intelligence. India's claims of Mr Nijjar of being a terrorist was not.
>But nothing in the evidence India presented, the people say, met the standard for criminal charges in Canada, let alone for extradition. To press their case, officials in New Delhi frequently sent clippings from Indian media, which was rife with lurid stories about Nijjar’s alleged involvement in violence, instead of providing what the process required: hard evidence, obtained without coercion, that would stand up in a Western courtroom. When that didn’t work, the people say, the Indians suggested that Canadian police find a way to concoct the necessary evidence.
> India's claims of Mr Nijjar of being a terrorist was not.
But I'm not talking about this claim. I'm talking about the fact that Trudeau accused the Indian government being responsible for his murder. The onus was always on the Canadian government to prove it.
First, this issue has nothing to do with what Carney is talking about, second - nobody in Canada wants anything to with your 'ethno nationalist wars', third - the frequency with which this issue is brought up and pigeon-holed into everything is absurd, but fourth - and most critically - you're lying: the 'murderers' by all accounts were Indian nationals and the link you provided literally indicates that 'Karan Brar, age 22, Kamal Preet Singh, age 22, and Karan Preet Singh, age 28' arrested for murder - are Indian Nationals on temporary visas in Canada.
> nobody in Canada wants anything to with your 'ethno nationalist wars'
Absurd. These are YOUR 'ethno nationalist wars' because your country has given them a safe haven. This problem does not exist in India. Not one Sikh I know sympathizes with these separatists, and I have plenty of Sikh friends, been to their homes, been to their hometowns.
These are literally murders by Indian nationals on other Indian nationals, involving Indian government.
We want nothing to do with this.
Nobody is getting 'safe haven' - we have 'laws' and 'citizenship' so we respect those things, otherwise, we'd prefer all of you who want to continue your infighting to go home. Totally unwelcome.
> These are literally murders by Indian nationals on other Indian nationals
They are all in your immigration pipeline or already through it. The crimes are all on Canadian soil. Who has jurisdiction in the so-called "rules-based international order"?
> involving Indian government
This is your fantasy. You're playing fast and loose with accusations, just like Carney and Trudeau were while calling it "rules-based international order".
> We want nothing to do with this.
Then stop providing asylum. Stop courting them for votes. Prosecute criminals.
Canada logic: "Let's take in people who have links to Canadian crime gangs, and when things go bad, let's just blame India"
> it's literally the 'garbage logic' that the majority of 'good people' are trying to escape.
Thank you very much!! Please take more 'good people'! I heard "asylum crackdown began in Canada" by someone else right here. Please go protest it. I suppose these people are all upstanding model citizens of Canada now. You are most welcome to blame the murder of Harpreet Singh Uppal on India too. Just keep taking more 'good people'.
> Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
OK. I will personally accept all future blame, just like Jesus Christ. Only if you promise to keep taking more 'good people'.
Most of the asylum claims came before CY2025, which is when the false asylum crackdown began in Canada [0].
A major issue was the Truduea-era diplomatic spat that led to the expulsion of Canadian [1] and Indian [2] diplomatic staff who cooperated on background checks along with an MP in Punjab who ran a "cash for asylum claim" racket [3].
After Carney became PM and Anand became MFA, the Canada-India relationship went back on track, and Trudeau era appointees were largely sidelined.
Are you saying a "Canadian Terrorist" murdered Nijjar? The article you link says nothing about any country (except India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) disputing Canada's claim.
Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalistan_movement is not a significant movement in India. I have plenty of connections with Sikhs and Sikhism in India. Apart from a very tiny minority of people, who quickly set off to Canada, this movement does not exist in India. They are courted by Canadian parliamentarians, which included Trudeau.
If it's such an insignificant movement, it's curious why India saw fit to assassinate a Canadian on Canadian soil. A claim that as near as I can tell only India and its surrogates (such as yourself, it seems) dispute.
Also, the veracity of a claim does not depend on who is making it or who is disputing it. The accusing investigation agency has do a proper investigation and submit proofs and ask for extradition.
Yes, Canadian investigators should have gone to India to investigate and build a case against the Indian government. That would have worked well.
Several countries examined Canada's evidence and found it satisfactory. Your government conducted an extra judicial execution of a Canadian citizen on Canadian territory. You are the baddies, even if your government assures you of the opposite.
You are resistant to all the actual information I have provided you. Your terrorists are killing more of your own citizens. But, I suppose Indian government should straightaway accept guilt for all such murders including that of Harjeet Singh Dhadda and an upstanding citizen Harpreet Singh Uppal. Mark Carney is cosying up to the same Indian government. I wonder which strategy of Carney will work on you: supply kool-aid or pretend there was never any problem. I'm betting on the latter.
I don't do Java. As one comment on the video said, 'This presentation is the epitome of the old saying: "When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail"'

When an article starts like this, I instantly close it and wait for proper sources. Anyway, the phrase "metabolic syndrome" has been gaining currency for the last few years. For those who don't want to read journal papers and meta-analyses, there are plenty of doctors and fitness coaches (on YouTube) who have made videos on how to get metabolic syndrome under control or even reverse it. And many of the doctors do a good job of filtering and summarizing the research.
The term Metabolic Syndrome X has been around for more than a few years, unless nearly 40 is few (and I absolutely relate to that sentiment), just saying that concept was revved up in the 90s and of course has been an academic discussion going back to the early 20th century.
Alongside all of these honest doctors and fitness coaches who espouse metabolic syndrome as the biggest health crisis of the 21st century there is a broad group of scammers and conmen who use the well backed science and literature to seed ground to push supplements and other crap.
They seem to wrap the very basic medical truth of being overweight and inactive is horrific for your health in an onion of pseudoscience bullshit, so you buy the next best product high in "antioxidants" and "polyphenols"
The actual science is unimaginably boring. Do not be overweight on the BMI scale and do some moderate exercise for around 2 hours every week. This will drastically improve the health 1000x more than say the insane stuff that Brian Johnson is touting.
I hate modern fitness influencers and health wellness people in general. My head near about exploded when I saw a Tiktok from Jeff Nippard claiming that eggs increase your testosterone on a study with a sample size of FIVE PEOPLE.
> The actual science is unimaginably boring. Do not be overweight on the BMI scale and do some moderate exercise for around 2 hours every week.
Don't be depressed is also excellent advice for people with depression: if they can manage that, it improves their mood tremendously. Not catching colds also greatly reduces your chances of cold-like symptoms.
By which I mean, what you're saying is a truism, not medical advice. Keeping your BMI under control is a natural no-effort thing for some people, and a grueling lifelong struggle for others. Telling fat people to stop being fat is not "advice", it is exactly as helpful as telling sick people to stop being sick.
Absolutely, the issue of obesity is not just getting people to exercise more I 100% agree. The actual science of having someone diet, exercise and stick to that engagement is literally endlessly complicated and part of the reason why GLP-1 drugs are a big deal they can be given to almost anyone who meet the clinical criteria and see a drastic improvement in overall health and mortality.
That doesn't detach from the reality of the objectives, getting there is difficult for people and there is more research to be done.
FYI: None of my posts are medical advice and I am not a doctor
I think they probably mean “article that’s meant to share research but mostly shares anecdotes”. It’s a common framing for this kind of thing though, so they probably have to close a lot of articles after the first sentence.
Someone who wants to tell you something true doesn't lead their communication with emotional distraction. Kinda like how someone who is asking a real question doesn't disguise the question as an insult.
>Someone who wants to tell you something true doesn't lead their communication with emotional distraction.
This seems needlessly cynical. Someone can have multiple objectives in writing, to tell you facts and also to capture your attention or to convey an emotion and motivate you to action. Very little writing is done with a single purpose in mind. We don’t expect academics drafting research papers to eschew concerns about the impact the writing will have on their career for example.
Starting a story with an anecdote that humanizes the information is simply acknowledging the reality that people want more than just facts. If the latter was all they wanted, most of us would only read encyclopedias and textbooks.
In this case it really was just pointless distracting filler. The article would have been better without it. I reach for different books when I want drama or entertainment than when I want data and research. This article promises one thing and then clumsily shoves something else in randomly throughout. It really is obnoxious.
It's not emotional distraction, it establishes the reason the subject was getting blood tests, which is revealed later in the same sentence. If this is your level of reading stamina you must find yourself very poorly informed. Even a tweet would be too long for you.
You will not build reading stamina or make yourself well informed with sappy stories. Learn some basic statistics and try reading research papers directly. "I have read more words" is a measure of only that, and nothing else. Maybe also a measure of the ability to not be able to separate wheat from chaff.
Seems absolutely unnecessary, forced, immeasurably trite, off-puttingly boring, overused, so brazenly cliché that there has to be some kind of counter-intuitive selection going on, like with the email scammers that target those who are not immediately noticing the fraudulent intent.
... or simply our arrogance is showing, after all average minds discuss people, right?
How many major national magazines publish good articles? The inverted pyramid is from newspapers and bears resemblance to scientific publishing while magazines bear more resemblance to the human interest crap between events when presenting the Olympics. Perfectly fine I suppose but then it's nice if they don't get confused about appropriate subjects.
You're right. MISRA is a cult. Actual studies[1][2] have shown many of their rules to be harmful rather than helpful. I have worked in multiple safety-critical industries. MISRA is almost always enforced by bureaucrats who don't understand source code at all, or by senior developers who rose up ranks as code monkeys. One such manager was impressed with Matlab because Matlab-generated C code was always MISRA compliant, whereas the code my company was giving them had violations. Never mind the fact that every function of the generated, compliant code had variables like tmp01, tmp02, tmp03, etc.
There are many areas of software where bureaucracy requires MISRA compliance, but that aren't really safety-critical. The code is a hot mess. There are other areas that require MISRA compliance and the domain is actually safety-critical (e.g. automotive software). Here, the saving grace is (1) low complexity of each CPU's codebase and (2) extensive testing.
To people who want actual safety, security, portability, I tell them to learn from examples set by the Linux kernel, SQLite, OpenSSL, FFMpeg, etc. Modern linters (even free ones) are actually valuable compared to MISRA compliance checkers.
One key point that people overlook with that paper is that they were applying the coding standards retroactively. Taking an existing codebase, running compliance tools, and trying to fix the issues which were flagged. I think they correctly identified the issue with this approach in that you have all the risks of introducing defects as part of reworking the existing code. I don't think they have much empirical evidence for the case where coding standards were applied from the beginning of a project.
In my opinion, the MISRA C++ 2023 revision is a massive improvement over the 2008 edition. It was a major rethink and has a lot more generally useful guidance. Either way, you need to tailor the standards to your project. Even the MISRA standards authors agree:
"""
Blind adherence to the letter without understanding is pointless.
Anyone who stipulates 100% MISRA-C coverage with no deviations does not understand what the are asking for.
In my opionion they should be taken out and... well... Just taken out.

I have family members with health conditions that require periodic monitoring. For some tests, a phlebotomist comes home. For some tests, we go to a hospital. For some other tests, we go to a specialized testing center. They all give us PDFs in their own formats. I manually enter the data to my spreadsheet, for easy tracking. I use LLMs for some extraction, but they still miss a lot. At least for the foreseeable future, no LLM will ever guarantee that all the data has been extracted correctly. By "guarantee", I mean someone's life may depend on it. For now, doctors take up the responsibility of ensuring the data is correct and complete. But not having to deal with PDFs would make at least a part of their job (and our shared responsibilities) easier.
One state in India is particularly strong with its labour centric protectionism. As far as I have seen, most families' earnings come from one family member working in "Gulf". The labour unions there are a big reason why industry hardly ever takes root. One example: https://x.com/Bharatiyan108/status/1948757576427901138
I have had my hearing tested at an audiologist. My hearing curves are identical with air conduction and bone conduction. There are very few cases where bone conduction might be better, like when something is obstructing air conduction. But with most people, bone conduction headphones will not help. I have been a regular user of Shokz for around 4 years now. They have other advantages (and disadvantages).
There will be no course-correction in India. The usual mindset is "how can I be the bigger a-hole?" With accessories becoming more and more affordable, there has been a rise in super bright LEDs, and even flashing LEDs. In cities, the police sometimes imposes fines, but apparently, no one pays fines. We have louder horns too. And psychopaths openly displaying their psychopathy. Bangalore's police at least responds on Twitter (https://x.com/blrcitytraffic), but when I look around, it seems like their efforts are a drop in the ocean. The police of other cities are all completely ineffective. The only exception is Chandigarh, but no one wants to follow their example.
As a daily commuter in North-IND I can confirm this, It is not even the car height difference anymore, people are getting aftermarket abominations on their sedans and not getting them height adjusted, the H-beam throw is all over the place.
I have them all installed, but I use WezTerm most often because it is fastest to give me a window when I hit the assigned shortcut key. Ghostty is a hair slower. Kitty takes 2-3 seconds.
