Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

When Jio was getting ready to launch in 2015, I remember being petrified to find myself on this Economic Times list of 10 businessmen to watch in 2016. Mukesh Ambani was #1, and I was #6, mainly because we had just made delivery brokerage free. We were, and still are, ants compared to Reliance/Jio. 😅 Looking back, what's phenomenal isn't just how big it has become. It's how much it has changed India and helped so many businesses start and grow. We've been beneficiaries too. @Zerodha wouldn't be what it is today without Aadhaar and UPI. But just as important was Jio, along with Airtel, bringing millions of Indians online with affordable data. Together, all of this made the huge expansion of Indian capital markets after COVID possible. Without this digital infrastructure, many online-first businesses would be much smaller, and a lot of today's consumer business models might not exist at all. In 2016, India had roughly 2 crore unique investors. Today, over 13 crore Indians invest in the markets, and Jio played a big part in that. I can't tell you whether to apply for the upcoming IPO. But both telcos have played a huge role in enabling an entire generation of Indian businesses like ours. And it's nice that the capital markets they helped grow can now help Jio raise money. From the outside, it's easy to miss how much of our success depends on infrastructure built by others.

836 MBBS seats vacant in Tamil Nadu & Puducherry. Annual fees: ₹23–35 lakh. Yet 11 lakh candidates cleared NEET-2026. So, what has NEET achieved? A common entrance test, but not equal access. Students prove their merit, only to discover that their dreams depend on their parents’ bank balance. What is the point of qualifying NEET if you cannot afford a seat? Medical education must reward merit, not money. The Union Govt must cap exorbitant fees and make medical education accessible to deserving students from every background. #BanNEET #MedicalEducation #TamilNadu #Congress #vazhapadi @INCTamilNadu @INCIndia @Jairam_Ramesh @manickamtagore @Pawankhera

The apartment I am currently living in Perumbakkam, Chennai has seen three different Chief ministers and yet we are without the basic permanent electricity connection from TNEB. The builder is unable to secure a electricity connection for 1000+ households and still running Diesel Generators to provide electricity causing noise and air pollution. Lots of protests done already but nobody has ever considered the plight of the dwellers for past 8 years.. I hope this reaches the ears of those required and we get some relief.#OzoneGreens #Perumbakkam #Chennai #NoTNEB Kind attention @CMOTamilnadu @TANGEDCO_Offcl @CTR_Nirmalkumar @nelsonvijay08 @ramyakannan @PttvNewsX @polimernews @NewsTamilTV24x7

RBI in my view single handedly shaves off 1-2% GDP growth with all the compliances they foist down our throats via the banks they regulate. Especially wrt anything cross border. I know Multiple investors of Indian origin who now refuse to invest in India just to avoid the compliance headache.

Anyone getting too optimistic about India should just read the morning papers or drive on Mumbai roads

China’s new export controls and licensing mandates on Tunnel-Boring Machines (TBMs) effective Nov 18 could pose supply chain and customs hurdles for critical urban infrastructure and metro rail tunneling projects in India.

Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Haryana are all richer than the Philippines. But do any of them have even a 1 km stretch that looks anything like this? (Manila’s business district)

Hello @EcrPSaravanann sir it’s new arrival on the metro pillars

Apple India Pvt Ltd reported revenue from operations of ₹1,03,853 crore in FY26, up 31% from ₹79,060 crore in FY25. Net profit rose 66% to ₹5,311 crore from ₹3,196 crore the prior year.

Trying a new AI chip used to be a lot of work. You often had to rewrite your code, revalidate it, and sink many weeks in, betting this new chip is the right one for your workload. That cost time and money, and wore on the team. Your best people got buried in plumbing instead of building the thing they came to build. TorchNeuron is going to largely take that off the table, enabling your existing PyTorch code to run natively on Trainium with one configuration change and no rewrite. With Trainium’s very appealing price-performance characteristics, TorchNeuron is going to make it even easier for more companies to use AI more cost-effectively. aboutamazon.com/news/innovat…

Introducing TorchNeuron, a new open-source tool that lets developers take their PyTorch code and run it on @awscloud Trainium chips, no rewrite required. 85% of AI researchers and developers write their code in PyTorch, and now, with TorchNeuron, the tools developers already use to test, debug, and scale their models all work on Trainium without modification. Teams building everything from voice AI to drug-discovery models are already using it. ⬇️

We need this in Tamil Nadu as well . Long overdue . Fingers crossed .

There was something special about being a kid when adults didn't feel the need to entertain you every minute of the day. Your parents could take you somewhere incredibly boring, and you were just expected to deal with it. The bank. The hardware store. Your mother's friend's house, where you sat on a couch covered in plastic and weren't allowed to touch anything. Nobody handed you a screen. Nobody worried about whether you were having fun. You studied the wallpaper. You read the same magazine three times. You stared at the clock and wondered if the second hand had stopped moving. And if you made the mistake of asking, "Can we go now?" your mother gave you that look. You know the look. The one that could end your entire afternoon without a single word being spoken. I swear, we developed half our imagination simply because our parents refused to entertain us. Looking back, I think being bored was one of the best things that ever happened to us.

Hypothesis: Often making kids stay in India without asking them to compete for entrance exams ends up making them weaker than they could have been, simply because the parent wants to do the opposite of what happened with them; the opposite ends leads to another kind of unfulfilled life; the problem isn't competing, the problem is the excess of it or the lack of it; if you are sending your kids abroad you can do away with the whole entrance prep rigor, but if they are to stay in India, please do them a favor and invest time in helping them prepare for the competition they will face for decades to come - because the real world will be a more traumatic teacher it is easy to swing on extreme ends of this, with some parents trying to make their kids compete at olympic level, and some parents trying to be "whatever you want to do"; either of the ends can be problematic - have seen exceptional cousins not push kids ending up spending hard earned savings on sending them to private colleges and difficult career paths even though the kid inherited decent genes & learning habits; we forget that everyone who works in India needs to establish their own identity and often that needs you to develop some level of intellectual strength whether you like it or not

The older I get, the more I realize that energy management is more important than time management. You can have 10 free hours and accomplish nothing. Or you can have 4 hours of high energy and make enormous progress. Protect your energy, not just your calendar.

Social media is very powerful weapon. They can influence young mind constantly changing the algorithm. Deep state already started in India about regime change. You know they have planted 🪳even though they will not directly influence but through social media for years constantly planting this in their mind. Regime change always through electroal process democratically by people. But they will try to change or destabilise country using violent protest. Coming year SIR related protest going to be huge. They will call whole voting system is lie and resignation of all. This will constantly push through all social media and most of the people going to believe that.

That‘s pretty much it. The rest is noise.
