Curtain raiser | Sundance 2023: Screen time for India’s fears and frustrations
Indians showcase at Sundance Film Festival 2023. (Photos courtesy of Sundance Institute) If India's forthcoming run at Sundance 2023 had a theme, it would probably be the wilderness. Elephants, fish, white ants, and nocturnal beasts mark the stories featuring the country that will make their debut at the Utah-based film festival. Sundance platforms independent dramatic features and documentaries and brings some of the first international film showings of the calendar year. Titles that premiere there contend with the most troubling questions of the present moment. Indian filmmakers have regularly taken their work to the festival, particularly after the Sundance Institute began organising screenwriters and directors’ labs in the region. Such interactions have helped produce films including Margarita with a Straw (2014), Lunchbox (2015), and Fire in the Mountains (2021). Of documentary, episodes, and shorts Sundance Film Festival is biggest film festival to start … [Read more...] about Curtain raiser | Sundance 2023: Screen time for India’s fears and frustrations
My Family and Other Globalizers | Battle cry of the global Indian mom: when in doubt, take them out
Given a choice, many teens would pick their phone and videos over much of the real world’s munificence. (Photo: Julia M Cameron via Pexels) Note to readers: My Family and Other Globalizers is a weekly parenting column on bringing up global citizens. To be the mother of a teenage boy in this era of encouraging our offspring to express their emotions and preferences is a thankless job. To begin with, my 14-year-old’s emotional range is rather limited, existing solely between sarcasm and cynicism. As for his preferences: everything is “lame”, and eye-roll worthy. In one respect, it’s almost back to the bad old days of toddlerhood, in how much of a role the word “No” plays in his vocabulary. “Would you like to watch the Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House?” I asked him enthusiastically a few weeks ago, unable to imagine a better way to ring in the New Year. “No,” he replied. How about a nice walk in the countryside? No. Trip to the museum? No. Even dangling the prospect … [Read more...] about My Family and Other Globalizers | Battle cry of the global Indian mom: when in doubt, take them out

25 Elon Musk Impersonator Scams On Social Media People Actually Fell For
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Social media is filled with countless scammers trying to capitalize on Elon Musk’s name. Just take a look under any of Musk’s tweets and you’ll see people promising crypto giveaways, which are actually just scams that siphon money away from users. But does anyone actually fall for these? Yes, they really do. And I’ve obtained the stories to prove it. I often file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the FTC to learn about different complaints that consumers have with particular companies. Previously I’ve done this with FTX , Tinder and Canon just to name a few. It’s an interesting way to learn about customer service problems. But when I recently filed a FOIA request for complaints about Tesla, I received some documents that I didn’t expect. Many of the complaints were about Tesla, of course, and issues people were having with their cars, warranties and financing. But consumers were also complaining about … [Read more...] about 25 Elon Musk Impersonator Scams On Social Media People Actually Fell For

Why The Maldives Must Be Number One On Your Bucket List
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most people are clueless about the location of the Maldives (they’re below India and Sri Lanka in the middle of the Indian Ocean), but everyone knows they are a posh honeymoon/vacation spot where guests choose overwater bungalows or luxurious beach villas. Some just want to laze in the sun which shines more than 2,700 hours a year, while others go for the gourmet food, blissful spa treatments or water activities, enough to challenge even the most die-hard thalassophile (someone who loves the sea). The bad news is that the Maldives, one of the lowest countries in the world, are only three feet above sea level and greatly threatened by sea level rise, coastal storm surges, and associated flooding. Scientists say that given scenarios for global warming emissions, by the year 2100, the Maldives will experience a 1’5-foot sea level rise and lose 77 percent of the land area. This means that eventually the Maldives will fall into … [Read more...] about Why The Maldives Must Be Number One On Your Bucket List
The wild world of PromptBase, the eBay for generative AI prompts
The old saying is that the best person to be in a gold rush is the one selling the shovels. Well, what about the person who owns the shovel store? It’s not far off from what developer Ben Stokes is currently doing within the booming world of generative artificial intelligence right now. Stokes didn’t make another AI tool. Instead, he’s running a marketplace for the prompts that go into the AI. It’s called PromptBase , and according to Stokes, there’s been a lot of early interest. “There’s a pretty healthy marketplace going on,” he says. “There’s probably about double the amount of buyers compared to sellers right now on there.” To understand what Stokes’ website PromptBase is doing, you first need to understand how generative AI works. Whether an AI tool produces images (as with DALL-E 2) or text (ChatGPT), the programs require a prompt. These prompts are strings of text and could be as simple as “a skeleton on skateboard” or as complex as “happy small cute skeleton on a … [Read more...] about The wild world of PromptBase, the eBay for generative AI prompts
How just a 5-minute mentorship session can advance your career
We entered January with all sorts of promises and resolutions—and the enthusiasm of a thousand Labrador puppies. But alas, reality has already set in. Our calendars have filled up, and our eyes are still glazing over from staring at our screens for eight hours straight. So, how can we possibly find the time to think about and advance our careers, let alone help others, when the daily hustle-bustle of life gets in the way. Where, exactly, are we headed in this journey? And who can help us get there? The right mentor or mentors can be key to making our life roadmap more legible. Finding someone who can guide you for the long haul is not always realistic. So, instead of taking an “I’ll join a gym this year” approach to a mentorship, where things start off great but fizzle out by March, it’s time to lower the barriers while increasing the results with something new. As National Mentoring Month draws to a close today, I give you the micro-mentorship. It’s not a term or an idea … [Read more...] about How just a 5-minute mentorship session can advance your career
