OK, that was quick, time to drop it.

@PenserETH was correct, I was thinking about @terra_money. I honestly believe its still one of the most underrated ecosystems.

Thread why:

 1. Terra is an app specific chain built on Cosmos. It started as a stablecoin app-chain and now branches into other venues. Where it differs from the rest of crypto (which is largely inward facing) is its focus on outward outside โ€œirlโ€ use cases.

https://t.co/fCF8pOXoV3
2. Terra stablecoins (mainly KRT) enable cheap online payments, undercutting the incumbent payment providers by 60%. Via mobile payment app CHAI, KRT is now used by actual retail consumer to pay for stuff online.
3. Until now, the tx volume facilitated by terra is 370M USD, most of it in e-commerce in SEA region. And the fees are accruing directly to LUNA (Terra native token) Stakers and Delegators.
https://t.co/MNqCdAB3Bn
4. This makes Terra one of the best cashflow driven projects in crypto. Not only because it has relatively attractive โ€œP/Sโ€ ratio (currently 22, but was below 3 not so long ago!), but also because its success is not dependent on crypto speculation but usage outside of crypto.
5. Apart from (KRT) Korean Wong, they now facilitate UST (USD stable), MNT (Mongolian Tugrik) and SDT (SDR = global reserve asset of IMF - https://t.co/JQojWGZusR). Sounds a bit quirky, but it shows the flexibility of the system and the willingness to capture long tail adoption.
6. Whats also cool is that you can pick whichever currency you want to pay tx fees to validators. Those earning the fees dont have too hard time dealing with it. You can easily trade between the assets using https://t.co/dw9icqaQWd DEX.
7. K, cheap online payments are solved. What else mainstream users want? Savings. Ideally with predictable yields. And the most sustainable income in crypto is currently from staking. https://t.co/dz8nyFu1gv
8. So chads from terra are among the first to connect retail users with PoS income via staking derivatives. Thats what https://t.co/x2Th68MCUX is for, enabling terra stablecoin holders to earn yield from staking, abstracting away complexity of staking.
9. You may noticed that staking derivatives can get pretty hot next year with Eth 2.0. On top of stablecoin adoption, Terra is riding this wave too, harnessing their retail user base (unlike others, whose target groups are crypto insiders).
10. K, payments solved, savings solved. What else can retail normie want from next gen suite of financial products? Investments. Enter https://t.co/HwgNm3MaTx. Enabling synthetic assets on Terra, using simple AMM mechanism.
11. While synths are nothing groundbreaking, Mirror solution is pretty elegant. Currently big tech stonks, as well as some commodities are available in pairs with UST. LPing is incentivized by quite high APY (in MIR tokens) too! The UX is pretty seamless if you are used to DeFi.
12. Cheap payments, stable savings and seamless investments facilitated by standalone app-specific blockchain are a killer combo already. But with IBC and bridging to ETH, Terra will start to talk with rest of DeFi, unlocking superpower of composability.
13. Price action of LUNA was a bit underwhelming compared to other DeFi blue chips. Part of the reason was that its mostly unknown to degens focused on ETH casino, part of it was that some early VCs were dumping their bags, having change of heart about crypto in bear market.
14. But it seems its already picking up. Due to simple fundamentals, its quite easy to conduct financial analysis of the project ( https://t.co/Ftx06v0kvT) and smart money picked up the scent.
15. I think Terra is well positioned to be a dominant Cosmos player, DeFi hub and also interesting SEA region fintech play. IMO its quite underpriced relative to others in this hopium filled market and its probably the best shot for mainstream/fintech/non-speculative adoption.
16. BUT! Dont trust me, I am shilling my own bags and am just anime profile pic anon on twitterโ€ฆso DYOR. There are risks of something else winning, or maybe BTC maxis are right and this is all crap that goes to zero...
Paging @d0h0k1 in case I got something wrong

JWALAMUKHI TRIPURASUNDARI, UTHANAHALLI, MYSURU (KAR)
#bharatmandir

Jwalamukhi Tripursundari is believed to be the sister of Devi Chamundeshwari, the presiding deity of Mysuru
It is also that she represents the flaming mouth of Jalandhara, the demon whom Shiva crushed to death.


When Devi Chamundeswari was fighting Mahishasura, she observed that from every drop of blood that spilled out of Mahishasura, another demon was born. So she created Tripurasundari to ensure that no blood dripped from Mahishasura.


Tripura Sundari means beauty of the three worlds.
The murti was installed during Wodeyar rule. An utsava murti made of pancha loha is kept in the sanctum sanctorum.
Another shrine here is dedicated to Siddeshwara / Shiva surrounded by a beautiful wooden Mantapa.

MEENAKSHI AMMAN, MADURAI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

A paadal Petra sthalam where Shiva took the form of Sundareswarar (the handsome one) and married Devi Parvati (Meenakshi).
Devi is also known by the name Angayarkanni (mother with the beautiful fish eyes).
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi Meenakshi emerged from yagna fire as a 3 year old girl when Pandyan King Malayadwaja and Kanchanamalai were praying for a child.
It is said that Devi was born with three breasts and there was a prophesy that her superfluous breast would melt away when she met her husband.


Devi ruled over Madurai and captured Indralok. She went on to capture Kailasha. When she saw Shiva, her 3rd breast disappeared and she realised that Shiva would be her consort.
The divine marriage was attended by all Devas and Sri Vishnu (as her brother) gave her hand to Shiva.


It is said that Indra found a swayambhu lingam at Kadamba Vanam. He placed it in Madurai where the kshetram stands. Here, Shiva is seen on the vehicle of Indra.
The Golden Lotus Tank is said to be the place where a golden lotus blossomed for the puja performed by Indra.


The Meenakshi Thirukalyanam festival is celebrated in the Chithirai month to mark the divine marriage of Meenakshi Amman. The festival includes a procession where Meenakshi and Sundareshwara travel in a chariot and Sri Vishnu gives away his sister in marriage to Shiva.

THE LAST STAND OF PAVAN KHIND - THE 300 BATTLE OF INDIA

A long๐Ÿงตthat u must read

In desperate times, great men come forth. Those men who are ready to sacrifice all of their lives work for a single cause.

Baji Prabhu Deshpande is one such man.

1/25


Battle was between the Maratha Warrior Baji Prabhu Deshpande and Sidi Masoud of Adil Shahi Sultanate.

In 1660, the Maratha King Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji was trapped in the fort of Panhala, under siege and vastly outnumbered by an Adilshahis army led by Sidi Masoud.

2/25

And while everyone is thinking that finally the Maratha king will be subdued, Shivaji planned to escape to the fort of Vishalgadh. It was administered by a Maratha chieftain named Range Narayan Orpe under Shivaji.

3/25

For months the siege warfare continued as Shivaji made sure that the food source of the Besieging army drops down, due to which they will initiate a general assault on the castle.

4/25

Shivaji, Baji Prabhu, and around 600 of their best troops, hardened mountaineers of the Maval region, would dash through the Adilshahis force at night.

A man named Shiva Kashid, who resembled Shivaji in appearance, had volunteered to dress like the king and get captured.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttฤnapฤda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

#TodayInHistory Ram Prasad Bismil,Ashfaqullah Khan and Roshan Singh are hanged in 1927, as they give up their life for the cause of freedom and inspire many a revolutionary. #LestWeForget


Shahjahanpur was a hub of revolution during the freedom struggle. Most of the revolutioaries in the North, were from this town. And among them, the most famous were two friends, whom destiny would bring together- Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan.

Ashfaqullah Khan was born at the turn of the 20th century on October 22, while Bismil was born 3 years earlier on June 11, in the same town. Both of them were excellent writers in Urdu and Hindi.

Both of them would come together under the Hindustan Republican Association, not to mention the fact that Ashfaq was an admirer of Bismilโ€™s poetry, and became close friends with him on that account.

And both these men were hanged on the same date, December 19, 1927 for their involvement in the Kakori event. Two men from different religions, different backgrounds, yet destiny would bring them together.

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan โ€” how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.

This post is pretty bizarre, but it manages to hit on so many false beliefs that I've seen hurt junior data scientists that it deserves some explicit

(1) The notion that R is well-suited to "building web applications" seems totally out of left field. I don't feel like most R loyalists think this is a good idea, but it's worth calling out that no normal company will be glad you wrote your entire web app in R.

(2) It is true that Python had some issues historically with the 2-to-3 transition, but it's not such a big deal these days. On the flip side, I have found interesting R code that doesn't run in modern R interpreters because of changes in core operations (e.g. assignment syntax).

(3) "Most of the time we only need a latest, working interpreter with the latest packages to run the code" -- this is where things get real and reveal some things that hurt data scientists. If this sentence is true, it's likely because you don't share code with coworkers.

(3) Really is a broader issue in data science: people only think of what they need to do their work if no one else existed and code was never maintained. Junior data scientists almost always operate on projects they start from scratch and don't have to maintain for long.
