Please stop doing this. If there are specific points of the analysis you think are suspect, point them out.

Others are doing a decent job (e.g. citing that open weight models have higher margin, so Fireworks is incentivized to promote them).

I thought entering the information is like 90% of the tracking, everything else is mostly calculation/averaging and none of it needs to live on a server. The Euki app seems like my idea of what it would always be.

For example, if people from the rest of India are not allowed to buy land in Himachal, it seems only fair that Himachalis who own land in Himachal should not be allowed to buy land anywhere else in India. Sooner or later people are going to come to that logical conclusion.

I would be highly supportive of prosecuting and fining people creating a shit show of filth, regardless of whether it's locals or tourists. Why not apply the law equally to both if the locals are so confident that they don't litter?

> Many places use an adaptive system of tickets/permits to keep tourist attractions attractive.

That is not what's going on here though. A reasonable permit system that controls numbers seems fairer than some randos putting up a gate and blocking a public road.

It might not be tourism specifically, but major cities have a huge problem with net migration into the cities, typically from rural areas. This causes overcrowding, slums, and a ton of pressure on land and water. Logically, the cities should also be free to ban "outsiders" from coming in for whatever time they want. After all, the outsiders are encroaching on their way of life!

Great, let's ban anyone from entering Chennai or Mumbai unless they own or rent land there, or have a confirmed hotel booking! We can set up checkpoints at the city boundaries, and require anyone coming in to show these proofs.

See how quickly this logic can fall apart if everyone starts applying it?

As for Himachal, you seem to be the expert but I thought that Himachal disallows non-locals from buying land (which I also think is wrong), not staying anywhere? Or does Himachal also have laws like this?

Again, none of this makes it right. It's medieval-style thinking to just put up a gate on Sundays to keep all the "trippers" out as you put it. What if every city and town in India started doing this?

I kind of know what you mean, but feel like we are going into No True Scotsman territory with the "well, that's not what education really means".

Degrees and such are typically the yardstick by which education is measured; if attainment of this education as measured by those yardsticks does not correlate with cleanliness, then the conclusion must be "The education system in India is broken and we should emphasize cleanliness in the education system" rather than "Education will solve cleanliness, it's that simple".

Imagine that some town in the US did this; and shut down otherwise public roads to anyone who is not a resident or a guest of a hotel in the town for the weekend, citing visitor nuisance as the reason.

Would you feel better about it because "well you can just book a hotel for the weekend"?

Indian, and this is not counterintuitive to me at all. I have also seen this, really small rural villages with their tight local governments tend to be pretty clean.

It's some combination of moral education, culture, science, and psychology. Even religion can play a role, especially in India where it's so important for a majority of the people.

Of course it is true that a lot of Indians have no civic sense, and will spit, litter, and generally make a noisy nuisance of themselves in this quiet village. On the surface it seems to be a great story about that nuisance being kicked out one day of the week.

At the same time, this is part of...India. It seems questionable legally, and also morally, to just kick out people from the rest of the country and even the state on a a specific day. Your village benefits to some degree from their taxes. How would it be if the villagers were locked into their village for that day and not allowed to travel outside?

Is the solution to a lack of civic sense really just to make more and more of these clean enclaves? Will they finally end up expanding and covering more of the country? I would honestly feel better about this if the entire state of Meghalaya had some kind of cleanliness drive and a tourist tax.

I don't have any easy solutions. If I did, they would have occurred to someone in India and it would be a lot cleaner by now.

Why would it not just compare them to the average person who skips school, which can be a combination of better and worse achievers? Is there some part I'm missing where the academically struggling are selectively compared to elite school-skippers?

Why should there be a difference in the degree being conferred at all? And if so, why not split off the departments that confer degrees with a low-earning potential and call them "entertainment schools" or something?

I don't really see why some no name university can confer a bachelor's in some bullshit field, but the respectable local trade school cannot confer a bachelor's in plumbing. They honestly have more of a right to do so.

Let's reduce it to $1.39T. A company with 10 billion in market cap is still pretty big.

I don't think you are disagreeing with the parent commenter as much as you think. The clear belief statement you are making and not considering your ancestry is a pretty core value of Americans (and one I like) that is not seen in other countries.

Most countries in the world automatically default to "my ancestors were X so I am X, if someone else's ancestors were Y then they are Y, no matter how many generations or how illogical this is". Example: people keep commenting how many players of African descent there are on the French men's soccer team. No one cares or talks about the ancestry of the players on the USMNT.
