It won't be that easy. If he agrees with security concerns, the location of HW links will be shared with agencies and sats can be ordered to turn off during internet shut down. Traffic from dubious locations can be tracked.
Let's see how much he bows.

Elon can simply say no.
I'm more interested in what are our hard kill options against this, do we have the tech to jam his shartlink signals? we do have anti satellite missiles iirc

Elon is the same guy who unilaterally pulled starlink when Ukraine was attacking russians in the black sea despite his government being allies with them. The same guy who has said he will make his own rules when he get a Martian colony. He is a slimy fuck of the highest order.

I think you are jumping to conclusions a bit too early. His Teslashit has been denied entry despite bigger media hype in the not so distant past.

It is anyway difficult to gauge what the PMOwallahs are thinking (it is them who would call the shots) based on some media 'leaks'.

FeLon can mess with Brazil only, not with space force capable countries, who if push comes to shove can launch satellite-killer satellites with mechanical arm to deorbit his starlink sats, turning them into expensive ashes.

Too many of them. Russians wanted to kill Starlink but was unable to do so and Russians are way more advanced in space technology than India.

I strongly believe there is some understanding or arrangement between Elon Musk and Russia.

When Ukraine try to strike Crimean bridge with the help of Star link, Musk became dead scared from Russian retaliation. I think Russia warn Musk privately about the eminent strike, And Scared Musk switched off Star link over Ukraine.

Gonna make a potentially stupid proposition so correct me if I'm wrong...
Looks like India has reached close to USA in terms of annual Investments in the economy in terms of PPP.

India's PPP GDP is $16.02 trillion, USA at $29.17.
India's investments to GDP ratio = ~33% while USA at ~21%.

Will surpass USA in 2 years, for number 2 spot after China (again the gap between us and them will still remain humongous).

You cannot use PPP for calculating investments.

 

[Hari Sud]

What is the purpose of PPP for a layman? Why don't the economists use it?

Why?

 

[GaudaNaresh]

in simple layman's terms, PPP is what matters for the individual inside the economy.

Earning 100K in San Fransisco is the equivalent lifestyle of earning 40K in Idaho. What good is me having 10 bucks more than you, if your sandwich costs 2 bucks and mine costs 12 bucks ?
So purchase power matters to the consumer.

But in international trade actual dollar matters - nobody cares if your $1 buys you a can of coke only in USA and my $1 buys me an entire thali in India. What foreign trade cares about, is you pay me $1 for that is the asking price of my product and if you dont someone else will.

So in simple terms, the consumer cares about PPP more than real GDP. governments care more about real GDP, because when France says ' gimme 10 billion dollars for these jets', its real 10 billion, not purchasing power based value of 10 billion.

If he says no, he can forever kiss goodbye to any of his future business ventures in the (soon to be) third largest economy. Tesla or any of his other dealings will simply get blocked.

As for starlink, something as simple shutting down the payments will do. He's a business man afterall, there's only so much losses he can take.

Elund isn't strong enough to take on a large nation state.

PPP is a good measure for actual goods and services produced by a given economy. Which I would argue is the way correct way to measure the size of an economy. It lines up well with total energy production.

Economists use PPP for several things. Some economists created it.

Nominal is economic output in rupees dvided by the exchange rate. Is supposed to be a better measure of a countries heft when it comes to international trade. Which it can be.

Delhi Pollution: How Punjab farmers are outsmarting world's most advanced space agency NASA?

Despite a decrease in reported stubble burning incidents in north-west India and Pakistan, experts have raised concerns over a possible shift in burning timings to avoid satellite detection. While the number of fires has dropped, aerosol levels remain high, indicating that the issue may not have...

A close eyeballing of GEO-KOMPSAT 2A geostationary satellite images shows localized puffs/clouds of smoke in the late afternoon. Needs ground checking." His observation points to the fact that farmers may be timing their fires to coincide with periods when satellites are not actively monitoring the region.

₹69,000 crore vanishes in grain leakages: Where is India’s free ration going?

A new report reveals that India's Public Distribution System (PDS) suffers a 28% leakage of subsidized grains, amounting to 20 million tonnes annually. This equates to a ₹69,000 crore loss, with grains likely diverted to the open market or exported.

economictimes.indiatimes.com

A staggering 28% of grains supplied through India’s Public Distribution System (PDS) never reach their intended beneficiaries and the economic loss to the exchequer is forecast at over ₹69,000 crore annually, a new report by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) has revealed.

The analysis indicates that around 20 million tonnes of rice and wheat, meant to feed 814 million people under government programs, are either diverted to the open market or exported.

khao piyu logo ki govt chal rahi hai , scam hai yeh

 

[Nutcracker]

I recall @roaringtigerhiddendragon used to suggest this on DFI.
I also recall reading that central govt is reaching to its limit in terms of capital spending and members were discussing about giving local bodies more fund for capex.

I used to think so too until I saw his behavior in regards to Brazil.

The 2014-19 and 2019-24 govts returned the fastest growth in GDP PPP per capita ever - the latter close to double digits.

India took 13 years from $1K-2K, China took 5. 7 years from $2K-3K, China again took 5. China especially accelerated in the $3-5K phase.

At $5K-7.5K, the countries were roughly at par and then India accelerates to 10K and now at a year for each $1K increment.

The 7.5-10K and 10-15K ranges are remarkable - India is outdoing Chinese growth.

My thoughts are that India is kicking ass without sacrificing demographics too much.
