India economic growth likely picked up pace in April-June, according Reuters poll.
The #indianeconomy is on a roll, indeed. The Reuters #forecast is around 7.7% in #q2 #fy24. However, the #economists quoted in this #article say this "blistering" and "world beating" #growth simply isn't enough for creating the #jobs needed for #india to actualize a "true" #developed #economy #status.

Climate Change Is Choking India's Food Security
Hard-hitting piece on why the #modigovernment has its task cut out re. #climatechange. We need to do more and faster, before the #weather wreaks havoc on #indias #foodchains and in the lives of #indians.
To be fair, the #author does mention how the #indianeconomy is bearing the "brunt" of #extremeweather, though responsible for a #fraction of the #emissions that the #developed #west emits in a #year.

The early 20th century meant the #development of #Oakland for #cars and for #HomeBuilding. The #bicycle was mostly forgotten, except as a toy or a piece of sports equipment, and #neighborhoods were laid out and #developed privately, by for-profit corporations rather than a civic body meant to benefit the citizens of Oakland. #PublicTransit was deprecated, except as a vehicle for #RealEstate sales. #AutoRow, on Broadway, and the car plants were churning out cars, and #debt to the people of Oakland, and the #newspaper was a marketing organ for these industries... This is all described really well in #MitchellSchwarzer 's book #HellaTown, which I recommend. I like old #maps, knowing how #roads came to be, and I've always been curious about the term "Little Skyline," which shows up in articles from this time. This article explains the route, and tells the story...

I've been in the #darkroom this morning and #developed a roll of #RolleiRetro80S. Some 34 negatives so, hopefully, I might get a #photograph or two out if it
For those that may be interested in the mechanics:
Nikon F90X/Nikkor AF 50mm f1. 8.
#Film [from bulk roll] developed in #FX55 1+9 [one shot] for 8.5 minutes at 21°C.

A big challenge for #ElectricVehicles #EVs in places like #Canada is to maintain their #BatteryPerformance in #ExtremeTemperatures . #ColdWeather can reduce the #ChargingEfficiency & range of #EVbatteries making them less reliable & convenient than traditional gas cars.
As reported by #Bloomberg , #Chinese #startup #GreaterBayTechnology claims to have #developed a new EV battery called the #PhoenixCell - uses #superconducting materials & thermal management.

Can #modi and #gadkari usher in #amritkaal with their "big" bet on #Infrastructure?
Notwithstanding the woes of #adani, the #rupees #trillion "push" for roads, bridges, and more can spark a #Manufacturing #Renaissance, vaulting the #indianeconomy into #developed #status.
So, is #India's moment in the "works" as the #ports, #airports, and dedicated rail freight corridors, are built at a frenetic pace?

"It also shows how moving the phaseout of coal onto a more politically-feasible trajectory would require faster reductions in oil and gas use, to keep 1.5C within reach. This would turn the spotlight onto accelerating action in #developed, rather than #developing, countries."

Just came back from #Sweden and #Germany
If you REALLY want to see a #developed country, visit #Sweden. Wow! #Germany seems like an #underdeveloped backwater compared to #Sweden.
#Civilized #people, superb #infrastructure, punctual public transport. I'm just #awestruck

For a #country whose #people were stereotyped as "snake charmers" not long ago, #India has indeed "arrived" as far as #technology adoption and its application to #nationbuilding go.
Read my take on how the #modigovernment is betting big on #digitalindia initiatives to leapfrog into the #digitalage.
Right from #upi and #erupee to #jandhan #banking and near universal #aadhaar usage, #indians can aspire to #digitalinclusion as a path to #developed status.

This #ancient #tea brew method was created by our #Teochew #Chinese #ancestors & is a big part of our #culture to this day. We eat & drink teas. We've shared this part of our culture w/many others.
' #Gongfu means #skillful . The #Chaozhou #brewing #method earned its “gongfu” title because it was a method that was #originally #developed for the brewing of low grade/coarse teas, creating delicious tasting brews through skillful brewing.'

I love that the world is describing the USA as a #backward state because of the #death #penalty and the issue about how many they fuck up. 1/3rd of all #state #killings this year alone since the #developed world (Europe) will no longer sell them the #drugs to do the killing.

#Americans are being taxed (#taxes can be fair; US aren't) but get very little back.
Instead of taxes paying for #healthcare, we pay out of pocket (even with #insurance).
Instead of subsidized #childcare, we pay >50% of income. #care workers aren't paid fairly either.
Education is being #refunded from kindergarten through university at every level.
#Developed nations use fair rates to tax the #wealthy, then fund #subsidize citizens' lives. #capitalism is broken. We need #DemocraticSocialism

Are those feelings mutual?
