MG Motors in India introduced Comet: https://www.mgmotor.co.in/vehicles/comet-ev-electric-car-in-...

It still has a big screen though.


The odds of this happening! Beautiful. I wish the best for Lucas and the family.


For some more context I would like to share a precedent specifically in India and Delhi that could be relevant to this case as well, "Rameshwari Photocopy Service shop copyright case":

Very interesting, thanks!

Relevant quote:

Section 52(1)(i) of the Copyright Act, 1957 permits students and educational institutions to copy portions from any work for research and educational purpose


Standardization around Personal Note taking/Knowledge management, format of storing, seamless import/export between different services or personal tools.


The request was for prediction, not fantastical pipe dreams.


This is hilarious. I love it that this is what we think is most improbable, not contact with aliens.


Aliens might want to say hi, if they exist. I don’t think the businesses with the power to standardise want to do so.


Hidden Brain, Episode titled, "Our Pursuit of Happiness": https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/897673162/you-2-0-our-pursuit...

I found a section in podcast that talks about: "we tend to present our best sides to strangers rather than to people who inhabit our lives is very sad", really insightful.

One more related link to the same story, Two episode podcast about languages in India. It talks about first survey conducted during British Raj and then Ganesh Devy ji's people's linguastic survey of India: https://soundcloud.com/theintersection/31-mission-impossible...


I had a chance to visit one of academy he helped establish, adivasi academy(their domain name has expired), tejgarh, vadodra. I really liked how he played the role of catalyst in helping local people recognize their own culture and preserve it. [Edit]: My bad for linking to the infested URL, didn't realize it.


That link looks very virus infested, beware.

probably ransomware: https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-the-arialtext-font-was-not-...

It's some js file that loads exe files. How would they get executed than? Another prompt to manually do so?

edit: thanks for removing the link :)


I concur, it tried to do the same thing for me.

" The "Mercury Text" font was not found. The web page you are trying to load is displayed incorrectly, as it uses the "Mercury Text" font. To fix the error and display the next, you have to update the "Mozilla Font Pack"."


It's probably a hijacked account too, that account has legitimate comments but was dormant until today.


I doubt that, it's quality content apart from the link :)

probably just a never updated, but originally legit wordpress site.


I find this ironical that the technology(in this particular case their site) which is considered as a savior for these languages and dialects, by archiving them, indexing them, can get itself rendered as something to stay away from instead of making this resource accessible.
