The cost of providing and accessing the internet remains high because of the third-party hardware, software and networking infrastructure. Moreover, the companies also have to bear the cost of digging trenches to lay fibre optic which further pushes up the cost. However, WiFi Dabba is able to save cost as it does not deploy third-party hardware, software or infrastructure. The start-up has its own proprietary hardware, software and networking and the same helps the company to save on vendor margins.

Why are these meteor trails nearly parallel? Because they were all shed by the same space rock and so can be traced back to the same direction on the sky: the radiant of the Quadrantid Meteor Shower. Click and check the captions of what you see in the sky https://buff.ly/37aADmz

“Mizos have traditionally had a very close relationship with their physical #environment and it was not so long ago that all aspects of their lives were closely governed by the rhythms of #nature, seasonal cycles of rain and shifting agriculture (#jhuum). Hunting was an important activity, both as a practical source of protein as well as an important rite of passage for men. In my family, my bother in laws, uncles and cousins of my generation had a strong relationship with the outdoors through #hunting. On my past visits we never went on an outing without several different rifles and shotguns in the vehicle. But these habits are changing and it could not come sooner given the generally alarming state of #wildlife populations in the state. Something different is happening and it is thanks to #digitalphotography and a growing awareness about the fragile sate of #Mizoram’s wildlife. On our visit during the #monsoon of 2014 I noted that the guns are rusting in a corner and now my same brother-in-law is nuts over #wildlifephotography!”

"Perhaps you and I were born too late to explore the world and too
early in history to explore the stars, but we were born at just the right time, which is pretty much all times ever — to explore language — to explore what can be said. What should be said? What should we send out to space? What, that can be said, will you be the first to say?"

Researchers at Texas A&M University have formulated a new recipe that can prevent weaknesses in modern-day armor. By adding a tiny amount of the element silicon to boron carbide, a material commonly used for making body armor, they discovered that bullet-resistant gear could be made substantially more resilient to high-speed impacts.

@freemo Nope, not yet. BTW the feature I'm loving the most is being able to “quote” toots. Thank you for the update – and the upgrades. :)
Indian finalists of the 2020 Regeneron Science Talent Search have worked in areas that are very intense ranging from fast Algorithms for Interactive Machine Learning to studying trace level arsenic in water. https://t.co/7jZy72faqk

Whoa! Being able to quote toots is an amazing feature indeed.
#Vyommitra is a 'half-humanoid', because it has no legs. The crew capsule is only so big as to accommodate an astronaut in a particular position. "In zero-gravity conditions, legs are not relevant. Mobility is not envisaged. But launch posture it can have, and after that it can come to a normal posture," said Dr Sivan.
