Adani Group’s ₹2000 Crore Bribery Scandal

₹2000 Crore Bribery Scandal: Adani Group’s Unraveling and the Trail of Allegations It all began on November 20, 2024. Gautam Adani, India’s business mogul, seemed to be riding high on success as his company raised $600 million through bond sales. By evening, he enjoyed a peaceful game of cards with his wife, blissfully unaware of the storm that was about to descend. At 3 AM, Adani’s world came crashing down with the news that an arrest warrant had been issued against him in the United States. The charges? Bribery and corruption amounting to ₹2000 crore. This wasn’t just another accusation—it was an indictment, akin to a criminal chargesheet in India. And it wasn’t just about one bribe or deal; this was the culmination of years of controversies, from land scams and tax evasion to the explosive Hindenburg Report revelations. The Long Trail of Allegations Against Adani Gautam Adani’s rise to the top has been shadowed by a series of allegations, starting with land acquisition dea...

Why the Dollar Became the Global Currency

Why the Dollar Became the Global Currency: A Historical and Geopolitical Tale The story of the U.S. dollar’s rise as the global currency is as much about history and economics as it is about power and influence. Let’s journey through time to understand how the dollar came to dominate the world. A World Before Currency Thousands of years ago, there was no such thing as currency. People traded goods through the barter system. If you had tomatoes and needed rice, you’d exchange your tomatoes with someone who had rice. While this worked for small transactions, it became a problem for larger trades. Goods like tomatoes and rice would spoil over time, making long-term trading difficult. To solve this, people began trading in durable goods like gold, silver, and copper. These metals didn’t spoil and could be stored for long periods. Lydia,(an Iron Age kingdom situated in the west of Asia Minor, in modern-day Turkey), was the first to mint coins from gold and silver, simplifying trade further....

"AI Won’t Take Your Job—It’ll Make It Better: Here’s How

Why Comparing Humans and AI is Pointless: Let’s Get Real About AI In today’s world, there’s a growing buzz around Artificial Intelligence (AI). From YouTube videos claiming that AI will take over your jobs to dystopian predictions about AI treating humans like animals, the noise is endless. Let’s pause and take a rational look at the situation. First, AI is a creation of humans. Just as humans created computers, cars, and other groundbreaking technologies, AI is nothing more than a tool—a sophisticated one, yes, but still a tool. Who writes AI algorithms? Engineers, who are human. Who trains AI models? Humans. AI can only operate within the rules and data we provide. It doesn’t have emotions, intentions, or consciousness. So, the idea of AI “rising against humanity” is pure science fiction. Second, let’s address the fear mongering. You’ve probably come across influencers peddling the idea that “AI will destroy humanity” or “AI will take your jobs.” And right after they scare you, they ...

Big Data Analytics Question Set

Hey learners, here are some questions on Big Data Analytics Q- Explain the importance of counting frequent itemsets in a stream. What are the key considerations when dealing with streaming data in frequent itemset mining? Ans- The importance of counting frequent item sets in a stream lies in its applications across various domains. Frequent item sets help in identifying patterns and associations in streaming data, such as detecting anomalies, understanding consumer behavior, or optimizing operations in real-time. Key considerations when dealing with streaming data for frequent item set mining include: 1. Memory Management: Streaming data often exceeds memory capacity, requiring efficient algorithms that process data in chunks or maintain only summaries of data. 2. Scalability: Algorithms need to handle high-velocity data and adapt to increasing data volumes without performance degradation. 3. Approximation vs. Accuracy: Exact algorithms may not be feasible for streaming data. Approxima...
