    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A flydubai flight carrying 174 people from Dubai to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday after its co-pilot stabbed the captain and, according to Israeli officials, tried to crash the aircraft. Passengers and crew overpowered him in the cockpit, and a second pair of flydubai pilots travelling on the flight brought the Boeing 737 Max 8 down safely, Israeli officials told Reuters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "a highly severe security incid

    Fee behind every card swipe now comes to UPI: From 1950s dinner bills to QR codes, how the charge began, how it works (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Shops and businesses in India will pay a fee of 0.4% of the payment, capped at ₹300, on UPI payments above ₹2,000 from October 15. The change ends more than six years in which the country's most widely used payment system cost merchants nothing. Customers are not meant to pay this fee, the finance ministry said in a statement on September 15, although in practice, that would depend on whether the merchant decides to pass on the additional cost or absorb it. Transfers between individuals stay fre

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Advertised as India's first, the Bengaluru 'Peptide Party' was called off last week after the Karnataka Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) served a notice to the organisers.

The event was planned to be held in Koramangala on August 29 and was promoted by Upsurge Labs LLP. The invite-only event promised "peptide tastings", music, food and networking. Th

    India puts its clocks under one law: What the new Standard Time rules mean for banks, exchanges, telcos and the grid (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A failed UPI payment between two banks can be reconciled only if both banks' servers agree on when it was attempted. An investigator trying to reconstruct the order of trades in a market-manipulation case needs to know, to the microsecond, which order was placed first. A grid operator working out why a substation tripped depends on time-stamped fault records. For each of these tasks, there needs to be a mechanism that we all take for granted today: that every clock involved in the world is telli

    They hunt, wait, then dive: The 'loitering munitions' former CDS Chauhan referred to in his Op Sindoor remarks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Speaking at an event in New Delhi on Tuesday, former chief of defence staff General Anil Chauhan (retired) said India had sent "a lot of loitering munitions" to Sargodha in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack last year. The weapons were hunting radars around the Pakistan airbase, but because these have a "lifetime", they will "loiter for about two hours", after which – if they don't find a target – they come down "somewhere", he said.
