An excerpt from the passage and related question

I can't wrap my head around this question and the duality of this passage on Blockchain. The first sentence (from the passage on the left) says "All the information in the record is permanent - it cannot be changed". But later in the passage it says "New information is added to the record every few minutes, but it can be added only when all the computers signal their approval"

How can a record be permanent/immutable/unchangeable when it's explicitly mentioned there is possibility to add new information to the record?

I used the same logic with their AI assistant and it acknowledged my point. Is there any flaw in my understanding here? Please note that I am trying to improve, not point fingers at any c0aching / institut3

AI assistant's response

like why can't people even follow the traffic lights? wrong side se ajao, indicator mat do, phone chalate chalate gaadi chalao - even the auto people don't follow traffic lights, how can I report such people?

Profile

- SC Non-Engg Male - 76/79/7.52 (T3 UG, specialization in IT, grad in 2024)
- 14 months of work ex in analytics at a Series A startup (backed by a well-known VC), no major extra curriculars after 10th

Preparation going steady, been pulling decent hours daily and gonna start mocks soon.

I know that I should be giving my 100% to my CAT preparation without deviating my energy elsewhere. But one question has been pestering me for a while now, Would I actually be able to get decent shortlists with a profile like mine? As you can probably tell, my profile is the definition of average (7/7/7) with <2 YoE, that too at an unknown startup (not lala company) - whereas in any decent B-School I would be surrounded with folks with better than 8/8/8 profile with work ex in companies like Big 4, which would put me in the bottom of the barrel (probably bottom 5-10% of the cohort).

Given this situation:

- Would I actually be able to get any decent shortlists during the SIPs/final placements season?
- What all can I do to improve my profile (outside/inside B-school, apart from giving my best in CAT ofc)
- I know that I'm already out of the race in Finance and Consulting since it requires 9/9/9 profiles. Marketing/Sales/HR is not really my forte. Is my profile eligible for Analytics/IT/Product Management profiles? If yes, what institutes should I be targeting given my profile?

Feel free to ask any follow-up questions to better answer my query, Thanks in advance seniors :)

For the last 3 weeks I have been:
- Skip breakfast, just black coffee 60-90 minutes after waking up
- Having lunch at 12 : Pan fried Chicken Breast (~150g) with oil, 3 large eggs (~50g each) pan fried, Amul Protein shake (138kcal, 20g protein), and carrots for fiber
- Around an hour before workout: 1 banana and 1 scoop of whey protein (~120kcal, 24g protein)
- Having dinner at 8 : Whatever mom makes (sabzi + dal + 2 roti, no rice + 3 eggs)
- Upper body workouts (except for abs) 5-6 times a week [Chest+Shoulders+Triceps | Back+Biceps]
- 45-60 minutes walk after dinner
- Supplements: Multivitamin + Omega 3 fish oil capsules + Magnesium Glycinate before sleep + Creatine 5g
- Getting ample amount of sleep

Problem:
- Weighing scale hasn't moved much, started at 80kgs, currently at ~80kgs. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to give it more time?

Queries:
- How many months of this diet + routine can lower my B.Fat % to 15-20%? I am not aiming for abs but atleast lesser amount of stomach fat. I also have Anterior Pelvic Tilt (self-diagnosed) which makes my stomach fat more prominent.

Feel free to ask questions for any info which I might have missed

I loaned a SIM card to one of my friend long back. We are not in touch anymore and I think he might use the SIM card for malicious purposes.

The SIM card is registered under my Aadhaar card.

I visited the nearest Airtel store, but he straight up refused to do it, saying "Ham sirf Postpaid close kar sakte hai, Prepaid ke liye customer care pe baat karlo" (We can only close Postpaid SIMs, For prepaid, talk to customer care)

I tried using the Airtel app to discontinue the services but it asks me what is the last recharge amount and what device do I use, which for obvious reasons, I don't have the information on.

I have also emailed them regarding this, they simply say don't recharge the SIM and it will automatically get disconnected - meaning they have completely missed the point

What can I do in this situation?
