<p>Syrian christians in Kerala are not related to St.Thomas.
Syrian chritians landed in kerala while fleeing arabic invasion of Syria. (7th century)<p>Also 'martyrdom' of St.Thomas is debated.
The earliest mention of martyrdom of St.Thomas originate from 16th century portugese missionaries who operated in india at that time. not backed by any evidence.</p>

<p>interesting.
i need to guess and try some of the strategies to get some discounts :)<p>i remember seeing such strategies in action in the past, when i was moving mouse to close the tab, suddenly a popup shows up offering discount, i believe that is one such simple strategy to maximize conversion.</p>

<p>Does a merchant has to give your tool access to their user data to generate personalized discounts?
Apart from user activity data, what data do you need for maximum effectiveness?</p>

<p>Is it a pre-requisute for the agents to have access to the source code to generate attack strategies?<p>How about pen-testing a black box?<p>Does the potential vulnerabilities list is generated by matching list of vulnerabilities that are publicly disclosed for the framework version of target software stack constituents?<p>I am new to LLMs or any ML for that matter.
Congrats on your launch.</p>

<p>Haggling is expected in some areas.<p>Vendors expect customer to haggle, so they inflate sometimes as high as 100%.
Customers know vendors inflate, so they start haggling right away.
vendors get to sold at a desired price, buyer walks away thinking, they got a deal.<p>kids try to negotiate their punishments, i negotiated a bribe with a traffic cop once.<p>When haggling is expected and one party doesn't engage, the other party gets frustrated and try to walk away.<p>There are some pockets of activities where no-haggling is preferred choice. 
Like branded goods (clothes, travel, automobile), high end real estate. people who are not good at negotiations prefer these options.<p>I purchased a house from a builder, who is notorious for not engaging in negotiations. I was happy with purchase because i know i got same deal as everyone else and did not lose anything.</p>

<p>I dont think it has anything to do with BJP.
Congress in the past too jailed people for criticizing sonia gandhi over social media.<p>It was facebook of the past.<p>Having said that, razor pay has very less options here.
Anti-money laundering laws across the world record sender-reciever details out-of-the-box even though the transaction is as benign as buying a box of chocolates.<p>In this scenario, govt came back to collect information, which it asked razorpay to collect as part of book keeping.</p>

<p>Well, the entire article presumes the security audit does not have conflict of interest and Everyone here presumes its state planted and activists are falsely imprisioned.<p>This article is nothing but a hit piece trying to capitilize on the death news of one of the 'activist' and trying to create a sympathy wave.<p>I am not presuming anything. I am just giving backstory on what goes on on the ground.
Anyone who claims to fight for tribals rights are either maoists or chritian missionaries.<p>One of the so called activist (who died last week) was a Jesuit priest.</p>

<p>still does not resolve the conflict of interest.<p>the defendant lawyer hired a firm which found evidence the defendant is not guilty.<p>The pro bono part raises more suspicions. One of the accused activist died of old age in a top tier hospital, not exactly a poor client requiring pro bono work.</p>

<p>This story was close to my heart. 
Having grown with naxalite-maoist ideals, I used to rever them.<p>During 1940-1990s
Moaists did an phenomenal job in fighting for oppressed, they were solely responsible for minimum wage enforcement, stopping the exploitation of tribals.<p>They fought off razakars with armed guerilla groups and saved innocent women from getting raped and mutilated.<p>Post 1990s,
The land reforms, abolition of feudal landlord system, employment creation actually solved most of the problems the poor were facing.
Migration of people to urban areas increased. 
Thus, The maoists lost their purpose, and started searching for monsters to fight.<p>Post 1990, 
maoists are bunch of thugs living in forests
doing contract killings in their free time.
They claim to fight for poor, but they oppose anything that bring out poor tribal people out of their poverty.
In the last 10 years there were hunderds of incidents of maoists killing contractors laying roads to remote villages fearing the tribals will be out of their grip.<p>Hence I have zero sympathies for these 'activists' aka hired thugs.</p>

<p>The whole process of discovery reeks of conflict of interest.<p>The audit was done by a firm at the behest of defense lawyer.<p>Is the security firm going to get paid if they claim their is no evidence of a plant ?<p>Also, its not proven its a state sponsored plant.</p>
