Blockchain, the technology behind cyber currency Bitcoin, follows the concept of a centralised registry that can be accessed by all members, and every event is registered as an unalterable 'block'.

If a central bank is getting a good read on the economy by engaging consistently with traders, it can send liquidity to pockets of the economy most in need. Rate cuts then become a last resort.
This is a VC style picking of who gets the extra cash. Good VC's find better people more consistently. So we're assuming the PBOC is staffed appropriately.

The second category of disputes relates to interception because of inadequate documentation or failure to follow procedures. For these, both businesses and the tax administration are at fault in view of the latter’s failure to provide the last-mile guidance to field officials and the former for its failure to observe modalities, particularly e-way bills. The tax administration, albeit not without a nudge from the courts, has risen to its role accelerating issuance of series of circulars and instructions as well as sensitising officials on the exercise of discretionary powers.

Exposure to bonds issued by these NBFCs by partial credit enhancement should be restricted to 1 percent of the bank’s capital funds.
Not mentioned if HFC's are included in this quota.
Banks can provide partial credit enhancement to bonds issued by systemically important non-deposit taking NBFCs and HFCs.
Can newly incorporated Housing Finance Co's gain this. Are all HFC's subject to similar approvals or will there be political cherry picking?
NBFC's have been driven to this due to the massive liquidity sucked out by demonitisation. Whatever the reduced access to hard cash meant is the economy has lost jobs, slowed down and created a gap in small and micro enterprises, thats being felt by listed small and midcaps. The large caps are seperately suffering from the exchange rate and America's bullying.
Combined we have a crash, that's squeezing out excessive valuation. The RBI's move to shore up small NBFC's (essentially shadow banks lending the American rate) has saved a layer of diverse players who were betting against the RBI's policies. This get out of jail card, is perhaps not a panacea to solve the severe strain on the economy. But it may just keep the music playing and real estate secure.

Gokhale was India’s ambassador to China when the two Asian giants were engaged in the Doklam standoff. It is largely believed that Gokhale’s hands-on experience with the neighbour has ensured that he reaffirms India’s clear stand on Tibet.
He is the mommy called in to soften the stance. Modi is wily enough to know how to play the game.
Stobdan said that the current development was in itself a big step in foreign policy changes. “Tibet is a core issue for China. We need to understand that. Now it looks like someone finally has a grip on that,” he said.
Bullshit. They are adept painting false flags to bring opponents to the negotiating table.
In Surat, for instance, the textile industry has been adversely affected by the government’s decision to impose an import duty on Chinese yarn but not on finished Chinese fabric. Small and medium garment factories buy domestic yarn from a handful of domestic producers at higher rates than what is internationally available, while cheap Chinese fabrics entering India put pressure on their selling price.
It's kept this way to increase competitiveness with international markets. Trade barriers are harmful for all in the long run. The Indian farmer needs to increase scale, hire skilled labour, or mechanise to compete with chinese imports. This unequal tariff on finished yarn is to encourage industries to scale as well without depending on farmers becoming inefficient. Ideally they should setup contract farming and reward efficiency at home to rectify the imbalance
Why have successive governments set the import duty on palm oil so low that domestic oilseed growers cannot even get the minimum support price for their crop? As Scroll.in found, none of the commonly advanced answers make much sense.

High transaction fees, which only benefit the bookkeepers, will prevent people from wanting to register their assets on the blockchain. The less assets registered, the less rewards NEO holders will get. Thus, NEO holders are incentivized to vote in bookkeepers who will keep transaction fees low.
Bookkeepers are probably large NEO stakeholders. That would ensure they are never voted out. The transmission mechanism for GAS : NEO is setup for an oligarchy
NEO works like this. Imagine the same scenario. Timmy again asks how much chocolate milk costs. First Cynthia speaks up: “$15!” A few murmur in support, but it’s clearly not 66% of the class so her idea is discarded. Next Bobby says “$1.25.” 66% of the class support his claim and thus, his idea is final. With NEO, the bookkeepers each propose the correct state of the next block. When 66% of them support the proposition, the block is finalized.
Cynthia is quickly taken to an internment camp and spends the rest of her life breaking boulders and blowing gaurds for drug money. Timmy becomes Minister of State.
These delegates (called bookkeepers) maintain the network for everyone.

For historical context, the company was slapped with a fine by FinCEN in 2013 for acting as an unregistered MSB and failing to implement an adequate AML program. While the fine itself was kinda bullshit — all the company really did was “fail” to file know your customer documents on Roger Ver, one of the most well-known industry investors at the time — the event did lead to a radical shift towards enhanced oversight of its network.
Sometimes I think Ver is the real anti government crusader
One assumption of the op-ed was that SpaceX was responsible for the failure of a recently launched spy satellite, though the company has repeatedly said that its vehicle performed correctly, and NASA associate administrator Bill Gerstenmaier confirmed that NASA would be told if the launch was a failure, and said he had not been so informed.

As per newspaper reports of that time, the three major areas where correction was sought were economic policies, which the RSS considered too liberal and anti-Swadeshi; Pakistan, where it said that the government had not been able to counter the moves of that country; and the Ram temple issue.

On the flight to Goa, tremendous pressure was exerted on Atal by Advani to not accept Modi’s resignation. Somehow word about the proposal for Modi to resign had leaked out. Young and mid-level leaders of the party started raising slogans, “Istifa mat do, istifa mat do [Don’t quit, don’t quit],” the moment Modi stood up to resign. In fact, a resolution was passed that Modi and his government had done their best while facing the challenge during the riots. Thus Atal was stymied. Modi, as is widely known, was a core RSS man who had become the chief minister of a state without being a legislator or an MP.
Orchestrated or not, the man becomes the image.

Former PM Manmohan Singh was reportedly keen on appointing Jaishankar as the foreign secretary for his work done during the Indo-US civil nuclear deal while he was joint secretary in charge of the Americas between 2004 and 2007. The diplomat, who is the son of defence strategist K Subrahmanyam, also happens to be the longest serving ambassador to China.
Jaishankar is married to a japanese
The most recent “curtailing” of a Foreign Secretary’s term and the appointment of another just two days before his retirement are illustrative of the mix of the many factors which lead to such decisions. Both of them are extremely competent and both, having benefited from political patronage, must accept its shifting sands. Bureaucrats, who get close to the political leadership, rise and fall with their mentors.

Will be much more alluring to steal. This is so because if you steal bitcoin the transactions cannot be stopped or reversed, and you cannot be identified. This will thus prompt a lot more effort to be put into stealing bitcoin than regular currency (in relative terms). For the same level of security, a lot more bitcoin will thus be stolen. And for each robbery, the robbery will also be much more effective (because of the irreversibility and difficulty tracking the robber). In short, for a user Bitcoin will represent levels of risk likely one to several orders of magnitude higher than using regular digital currencies.
You steal and protect whats valuable. Fiat has been socializing the cost of theft for years. Inflation is not required in a perfectly memorable currency.
We don't know if the bitcoin user community will one day allow for the creation of more than 21 million bitcoins. If they do, it would improve the value of bitcoin as a medium of exchange but it would likely come at the expense of bitcoin holders' value. As such, we are not sure why existing bitcoin holders would agree to such a change. Nor is it clear why the miners and transaction validators would agree to such a change, which would likely lower their profit margins.
Replace with US Dollar and read. A crazy shift in perspective occurs.
From 2000 until the middle of 2007, the Bank of Russia held around 400 tonnes of gold in its official reserves and these holdings were relatively constant. But beginning in the third quarter 2007, the bank’s gold policy shifted to one of aggressive accumulation. By early 2011, Russian gold reserves had reached over 800 tonnes, by the end of 2014 the central bank held over 1200 tonnes, and by the end of 2016 the Russians claimed to have more than 1600 tonnes of gold.

AICC official described how Rahul played a major role in bringing Patidar leader Hardik Patel, OBC leader Alpesh Thakor and Dalit leader Jignesh Mewani together in Gujarat despite contradictions in their caste interests.

The sole mandate of this central bank is to enrich itself through market manipulation.
Enrich all of us. There is no way to stop the central banks from lending to private actors who do similar things. And in the long run, there's simply no way to short it short of going back to a gold standard.
A excavation in 1991 of a local tavern reveals ancient hedonistic secrets: among the display of broken wine jugs sits a pile of coins with markings from dozens of different societies—the savings of prostitutes after servicing clients from around the world.

Adequate capital in any bank can include contingent capital that is agreed to ex-ante but is provided ex-post as and when and if the need arises. It is true that the market for contingent capital is not well developed and so such capital is not usually available. But that is where the Centre needs to step in and provide capital that is usually not available. The government has not done this so far. It has instead provided the usual (non-contingent) capital that is available anyway in financial markets. There is a need for rethinking here. The literature on banking crises includes other policy suggestions that can make banking meaningfully stable.
Disagree for now.
US Dollars have an important quality that makes them useful to an individual, regardless of whether other individuals want them: they can be used to pay down US citizens' tax obligations.

In the meantime, some major banks that backstop futures trading have objected to the launch of the contracts, arguing that bitcoin’s wild price swings could spark a dangerous default for market participants.
Of course clearing houses will object. They are the Dinosaurs who will get 'cleared' out.
The rural urban divide in cost of treatment is smaller than the private public division. The Urban private hospital market share has increased by a larger margin than their rural counterparts. This suggests urban migration is pulling the low income groups out of the rural economy.
Could they have not learnt the Vedas, rituals and become priests without becoming broadcasters of the Brahmin symbol?
Like a policeman without a badge, the symbolic nature of caste can be transformed to a symbol of religious authority. Catholic priests also wear a distinctive collar and Muslim imams too have a distinctive attire. The author is himself brought up in a culture where caste symbolism is ingrained and hopefully the generation born a decade from now in Kerala will not suffer the same misconception.
In recent times, a leading newspaper has allegedly even removed an editor because he brought out a “hate-tracker” that was diligently compiling a list of hate crimes in the country. Apparently, the hate tracker attracted the ire of the prime minister’s office and the PMO made it clear that unless the editor was removed, the prime minister would not attend the newspaper’s prestigious conclave. Shockingly, instead of standing by the editor, the newspaper chose to remove him. The prime minister, I am now told, has agreed to attend the conclave.

The law banning itself is not a solution but more of a statement of intent. If the bill aims to redress grievances, a redress cell with helplines and a mechanism to handle victims has to be setup. On the ground, the Government needs to identify those vulnerable and create education and awareness about what options are present for those unwilling or coerced by social pressure. Politicians at the local level need to nudge their older patrons to let the younger ones off the hook (literally)
And we are more likely to talk badly about Muslims and express casteist views in the company of ‘our people’
tsk tsk...
That this could happen is not a sign of efficient management of its own vulnerability. Sleeping with doors and windows open in a thief’s neighbourhood makes no sense. Only the householder is to blame for what follows
Blaming the survivor is the first sign of misogyny
Subsequently, lavatories will mainly have vacuum toilets, with just one big bio-digester installed in half portion of the guard’s cabin at the end of the train,” the official said.
I guess the guard is not human enough to get a vacuum toilet.
Surprised to see them back down , Seems like things are firmly still in BJP hands. Also impressed by how Amit shah has strengthened grass roots activism to the point that it's no longer fringe groups that have the last word.
Don't pander to British ideals. The elite club doors should be thrown wide open you bigoted fuck. Why should we be elitist at all. The BJP is also playing it's brand of political narrative, one mastered over years of victimhood to it's home junta. here too, he doesn't care a twt about what you think is happening. his narrative is firmly embedded in his local metre.
With its new norm allowing lifts up to the terrace level, the municipal corporation seems to have side-stepped this problem with ease. According to civic officials, lift construction on the terrace will be considered FSI-free, and specific height restrictions will apply only if a building falls within the city’s aviation zone.
Does this mean lifts can be used to extend the penthouse

The crisis can be partly explained by the fact that India’s dairy producers receive absolutely no support or subsidies from the government. A similar crisis affects small farmers in the European Union and the US, where subsidies favour large dairy players, said the study.
Source citation?
Scale and market forces like subsidies have no correlation. I believe small farmers need specialised equipment and are at an advantage when given the option of differentiating from the generic US companies. But whether India's consulting companies can bring their fees down to create and execute a model that includes the marginal farmer...

Another BJP leader, who is familiar with Rane’s politics and who did not want to be identified, said the alternative to launch a new political party was in fact suggested to Rane by senior BJP officials themselves. “Rane met our party president Amit Shah in Delhi some days back and it was suggested to him that the BJP rank and file in Maharashtra were not really ready to induct him and that he should look for some option that would still make him open to joining the NDA,” said this BJP leader.
My lowering MSP, the Govt may be cleverly signaling to the transporter, wholesaler nexus that their time is up. A continued reduction in MSP year on year should push private players into procurement as the Govt fades away leading to a better market economy. However urban food price inflation and farmer suicides should continue until this happens.
“The Israelis made a mistake in letting us come back in the 1970s because they gave us our rights back,” Nadia Manasra said wryly
The hollow cry of those forced to ignore reality to preserve a semblance of dignity. The reality is that they were pushed out of lucrative real estate by a bigoted state and will continue to suffer ghettoisation until they conform to the culture of the economic majority.

Modi most probably thinks of this as a caste issue. A bridge for bringing the importance of lower castes into the mainstream. And maybe even a more genuine source of employment

Ajay Mohan of Muskan, a non-governmental organisation that is a project partner for the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan, said no work has happened since the scheme was rolled out. “The ministry has put the mission on hold,” he said. “Manpower is the main reason. We have spoken to them so many times but they cite manpower issues. The portal is open and you can register as partner. Everything indicates that work is happening but nothing has been happening on the ground.”
How many government schemes have this problem? A portal that works but the backend remains broken
This is called Gold plating and is the reasonable way of laundering money
India’s goal of achieving universal education by 2030 was 50 years behind schedule in 2016, according to UNESCO.
I laughed out loud when I read this.
This also poses a key question, one which resonates in the 21st century, about whether there is a necessary link between state power and community life.
There are some limited to policing and security. However an absence of a formal process will no doubt throw in surprising elected and unelected power centres. Which is likely how these communities worked for thousands of years before cities became cultural icons drawing the thrill seeking masses out of their existing communities
In March 2017 the national government announced the closure or cancellation of 103 of these plants, which would have been capable of generating a total of more than 50 gigawatts of power. The authorities also announced plans to cut steel production capacity by another 50 million tons.
They are also overcapacity...
all new coal-fired power plants are mandated to be “ultra low emissions”

Job growth is not going to happen from the corporates. It is going to happen from this lot [of 56 million] of MSMEs [Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises]. The questions to ask are: what holds up or blocks the growth of MSMEs?
I believe this as well. The corp structure incentivises job creation at a much smaller scale even when it hits Tier2,3 India. Alongside, the jobs themselves will employ indians and not Bharatiyas...
Earlier, small businesspeople used to have a particular political voice because they could fund politicians. But now that they don’t have the funds, their voice is getting silenced. It is the big guys whose voice dominates. That is something to fear.
Either they come clean and add their voice once again through better channels. Or maybe they create a vacuum that Big Corp India can muscle into.
Those four guys would not be spending the money on cigarettes. For all you know, they’d be spending it on cellphones.
Does that mean consumer white goods were bought by the 86 lakh benami accounts?
[After demonetisation, Rs 50,000 was the maximum amount of cash in old currency that could be deposited in Jan Dhan accounts. These accounts came under income tax scrutiny after their deposits doubled to Rs 87,000 crore 45 days after the demonetisation announcement.]
So ~43000 crore of illegal cash was given up?

French President Emmanuel Macron and several other European leaders now appear willing to go to Iran’s rulers and say (in effect): “Look, we believe you’re not developing nukes and don’t intend to do so. But we have to get along with that cowboy in the White House and if he makes us choose between the U.S. market and the Iranian market, what are we to do? So why not make a few minor adjustments?”
The bully who props up dictators in the name of freedom, is now asking for their opponents to be rational.
For example, sanctions could be imposed for Iran’s continuing development of missiles that can deliver nuclear warheads to targets anywhere in the world, its aggressive pursuit of hegemony over its neighbors, its support for the mass-murdering Assad regime in Syria, its incitement of genocide against Israel, its taking of American hostages, and its domestic violations of human rights.
Every single charge also accounts for Pakistan, America's ally.
We can see here that it costs 0.09 ETH or $26.55 to add two numbers together 1 million times. Compared to running on a local computer or cloud server this seems pretty high. Let’s do a quick price comparison to AWS.I can add two numbers together 1 million times in python in 0.04 seconds. Amazon charges $0.0059/hour for their cheapest EC2 instance — t2.nano. This costs $0.000001639/second or $0.000000066 for the operation. Compared to $26.55, this is about 400Million times more expensive (or 40Million if you are willing to pay a low gas price). Whoa!
Currently with Byzantium, Developers seem to be getting the imperial treatment. Faster blocktimes,, gas returns are making this calculation come down to $0.09 as compared to AWS cost of $0.000000066
Although Axis Bank did not name its defaulters, it mentioned that nine of its NPA accounts were held by a consortium of banks that owe it Rs 4,867 crore. “According to the Axis management, only 6% of this account is classified as stressed,” Anil Gupta, vice president of the credit rating agency ICRA, pointed out. “As and when asset quality check happens in other banks by the RBI, this account will come up and push the divergence numbers upwards.”
How many of these navratna's are hidden away in their account books?
It would appear that the US regulator is less interested in cracking down on mega offerings backed by major law firms and Silicon Valley personages, and more interested in catching small-time fraudsters exploiting ICO hype.
Sometime the valley leads the govt, sometimes it's the other way around.
Despite the aura of chicanery surrounding ICOs, strenuous efforts are being made in the cryptocurrency to legitimize them. One of the most interesting attempts is a legal framework created by law firm Cooley in New York, and firms with vested interests in making ICOs work, published today. It argues that it has come up with a “simple agreement for future tokens” (SAFT) framework that will allow token sales to be compliant with US securities laws.
legalcoin woohoo
For some reason, though, our abject failure to develop indigenous arms technologies has never given rise to a sense of humiliation among nationalists.
If the change of guard at the censor board is anything to go by, a younger generation may be pushed ahead to deal with shortcomings in operational management. If only Modi can bite the committee habit, we could place sharp people in charge of institutions like the RBI and let them have free run. The under 45 have the indoctrination of the liberal left to soften the patriotic sedative and feel the pain.
