Re: [AI] Job Vacancy at BarrierBreak - Mumbai

[li...@srinivasu.org]

Hello,
As far as I know, mostly within corporate sector, selary details would not be 
mentioned in the advertisement and usually be discussed during HR discussion 
that will happen post selection of technical round etc.,

No one would be forced to work on a particular salary. Candidate has every 
opportunity to accept or decline the offer. 

As far as BarrierBreak is concerned, I have worked with them and I know for 
sure a qualitative training will be provided during first few months. 

I believe a good negotiation will happen for proven expertise candidate. 

Thanks,

Regards,
Srinivasu Chakravarthula | @csrinivasu

Re: [AI] Job Vacancy at BarrierBreak - Mumbai

[shankar shan]

exactly, this is very strange.
lot of times, I was saw the job postings on the lists/social networks
without Mentioning the Salary part.
once the person get selected, they has to work for just for 1  to
2 rs per month.


and, sorry to say this, it looks like insulting the testers as well.

so, requesting the person to exchange the salary info, so that, if the
people is Interested or starvation for the job, they might
contact/attend the interviews.

[AI] Being Born Blind Didn't Stop This Delhi Man From Becoming A Photographer A new point of view.

[SC Vashishth]

great to read about Pranav's photography skills in Huffingtonpost today!
Being Born Blind Didn't Stop This Delhi Man From Becoming A Photographer A
new point of view.

Meet Pranav Lal, a Delhi based cybersecurity expert who likes programming,
reading books, travel and photography. He was also born blind. Yet, his
visual impairment hasn't stopped Lal from pursuing his passion for
photography, pushing his sensory and creative boundaries in the process.

Lal can distinguish between light and darkness, and he relies on a
technology called vOICe that works like an artificial eye to help visually
impaired people with navigation. Lal uses vOICe to help him take photos.
The vOICe software converts images taken by a camera into sounds by panning
them from left to right, and maps the elevation of an object through the
pitch and its brightness through loudness. Lal listens to these sounds
through his headphones, and then uses a second camera to click photos.

"The beauty of the technology is that you can remotely sense shapes and
compose your own shots," he told *HuffPost India*. "Otherwise, say, if I
want to photograph a tree, but it doesn't make a sound, I won't get that
perspective. This allows me to get the foreground and background."

Lal uses vOICe for everything from navigation to designing web pages. He
took up photography in 2001, when he came across the Seeing with Sound
initiative, which works on vOICe. He taught himself how to use the new
technology remotely, by communicating with other international users on an
online mailing group.
He has been honing his skills over the last 15 years, and says he
especially enjoys taking pictures while travelling and on festivals such as
Diwali. Since vOICe cannot recognise facial features yet, Lal focuses on
landscapes, especially nature, buildings, and machinery.

"I have been born with this. I have adapted extremely well. I had an
augmented sense and I wanted to showcase it visually," Lal explained. "How
do I show you what I see? Through photography. This technology gives me the
ability to see."

A new video produced by the online portal *101 India* narrates Lal's
inspiring story and explains the technology he uses. "Blindness is a state
of mind more than a sensory impairment," he says in the video. "People who
have the biological ability of sight but still don't see could still be
called blind."

Re: [AI] [Bulk] Re: Making Secured PDF documents accessible: any ideas?

[sanjay]

to read my bank statements which are secured I use advance PDF password 
recovery software which will unencrypt the document.  Later you can open 
that unencrypted document with any accessible pdf reader.

Re: [AI] Problem in opening salary for VI employee with HDFC bank

[Lyngdoh]

Hi Shekhar,

I also faced similar issue before with HDFC.
But 2 statements made HDFC to accept my request for account opening.
I told that manager similar to the one below.
"now that you have seen the circular from RBI and still you are not
ready to fulfill what I needed, I am fine with it. How about I take
legal action against your ignorance?"
Soon after this, she kept quiet and agreed to issue me all banking
facilities. After 5 minutes, i received the banking kit.

[AI] Abhinav Singh reports for the Statesman: Delhi University: Visually Impaired teacher seeks normal life partner

[avinash shahi]

A visually impaired teacher of Delhi University has expressed his
disillusionment at being unable to marry a physically 'normal' woman
because of societal constraints.
http://www.thestatesman.com/news/delhi/visually-impaired-teacher-seeks-normal-life-partner/169088.html
He said marriage between disabled and normal persons is an 'effective'
way to incorporate the differently abled into the mainstream and end
discrimination. Yogesh Chaurasia, 42, an assistant professor of
political science at DU's Maitreyi College is still unmarried as he
has turned down several proposals of marrying differently abled girls
in his quest to get a physically normal life partner. "If I marry, I
will marry a normal girl," he stressed. Chaurasia said society acts
with an 'orthodoxical' and 'prejudiced' mindset as it easily gives
sanction to matrimonial ties between two normal persons but looks down
upon marriage of a normal person with a disabled one.

"I had vehemently refused to accept several proposals of marriage with
physically disabled or visually impaired girls. I turned down many
such proposals in the past and I am really annoyed at and bewildered
by those who approach me with such proposals," said Yogesh. He said he
has no reservations in marrying a physically disabled girl but wants
to set an example that physical disability cannot be the cause of
'rejection' and 'neglect' of a person. He said there is no support
from his family members either who also cannot think 'out of box',
"Even my parents are of the view that I should marry a disabled girl,
but it's my personal view that marriages between differently abled and
normal persons will help in bringing Divyangs into mainstream of
society," said Chaurasia.

"Physically disabled persons are also human beings and have desires
similar to those of normal persons. Sometimes I have a strong urge to
have a life partner but I have diverted all my energy into academics,"
said Yogesh. He said many 'normal' men pretend to be blind only to
have girls sympathising with them. "Many normal persons pretend to be
blind in metros , buses and public places and only look for
opportunity to inappropriately touch or feel young girls who come to
their aid out of sympathy, this has maligned the image of blind people
and girls now look at all blind persons suspiciously”, he said.
Sympathy, no love "Most people help us out of sympathy but there is no
element of love in it. Sympathy cannot be misunderstood for love,"
said the professor.

"By sympathising with us you make us feel that as if we are some
helpless creatures but we want to tell that we are also human beings
who are desirous of love and not sympathy," said Yogesh. Another
teacher said society should shun its prejudices and ould encourage
those who want to marry 'out of box'. "In my view marriage between a
disabled and normal person should be encouraged, as it will help in
bringing them into mainstream and increase their acceptability," said
DU teacher.

[AI] John Altman writes an Op-Ed in the New York Times: I Don’t Want to Be ‘Inspiring’

[avinash shahi]

One of my most memorable moments in high school came during my
freshman year. A motivational speaker was addressing us in a huge
assembly. I was seated with one of my best friends at the front of the
auditorium, and the whole group was having an amazing time. The
speaker was charismatic, exhibited a warm, jovial disposition and a
wonderful sense of humor. I was smiling and laughing with the rest of
the group. But at the end of the assembly, my friend and I were
singled out by the speaker, who said something that people with
disabilities hear often — that because I got around on crutches and
she with a scooter, we were “inspiring.”

In that moment my personal characteristics, the people I love, the
interests I pursue and the beliefs I hold became moot, and the fact
that I have cerebral palsy and use crutches to walk became the
entirety of who John Altmann is and what he is about.

When I tried expressing my anger to people, I felt disconnected from
them. They assured me the speaker was just being nice; some insisted
he was just telling the truth. That what I did every day was
inspiring. I grew tired trying to convince them that I shouldn’t be a
source of inspiration for anyone simply because I live my life as I
know it just like everyone else.

The friend who I sat with at the assembly got it. Our frustration,
while a foreign language to all of our able-bodied friends, arose from
a deeper desire that we shared. We wanted to be more than our
disabilities, to overcome them and forge an identity apart from them.
But an able-bodied world makes it hard to find this sort of
fulfillment. And it often does so with even the best of intentions.

Case in point: In January a story made the rounds about an undefeated
wrestler who let his opponent, who happened to have Down syndrome, win
a match. Most people praised the athlete for being selfless and a
class act. A reporter at CNN wrote, “A high school wrestling star gave
up a shot at going undefeated this year, but some people think he had
the perfect season.” I didn’t see it that way.

Wrestling is an activity predicated upon a specific kind of athletic
acumen and is governed by its own set of rules. When the undefeated
wrestler let the opponent with Down syndrome win, the nature of the
environment was fundamentally altered. The wrestling mat, which is
meant to be a site for athletes to exhibit their physical prowess and
to find out in the end who the superior wrestler is, became instead
another site of segregation.

I don’t mean to say the wrestler had malicious intent; it’s obvious
that his heart was in the right place, but his actions, and more
significantly society’s subsequent reaction to them, reinforced the
stigma that the disabled body is one in need of our sympathy and
charity. In that moment the wrestler’s identity was disregarded and
his disability took center stage. However well intentioned, the
able-bodied wrestler chose segregation by laying down for his opponent
rather than giving him his best. His sympathy became toxic.

This is just a symptom of a much larger problem. Society, on an
institutional level, consistently opts for its own more profound types
of segregation. In Britain, for instance, welfare reforms caused
14,000 disabled citizens to lose the mobility cars they use to
function and to go about their lives. Here in the United States, one
of the most common and widespread problems for people with
disabilities is unemployment, with only about 40 percent of disabled
people employed as of 2010, about half the rate of non-disabled
people. These problems can be linked with the inaccessibility disabled
students usually encounter in colleges and other spheres of civil
society.

Much like the Civil Rights Act for African-Americans, the Americans
With Disabilities Act, while a revolutionary piece of legislation at
the time of its passage, was not a magic wand we could wave to
dismantle these transgressions against disabled people, or reform the
system that supports them.

Disabled people cannot be expected to forge an identity beyond their
disability or to diminish the impact that their disability has on them
personally, psychologically or emotionally when they are deprived of
the very extensions of their bodies that allow them to engage in the
world, and when this very engagement is faced with exclusion. When a
college, a business or any sphere of civil society refuses the
expenditure on accommodation of a disabled person, and when a
government actively deprives disabled people of what they need to
live, they’re effectively saying that what we are outside of our
disabilities and what we wish to become in spite of them doesn’t
matter.

I want a world that is so accessible, where technology and medicine
become so advanced, that all disabled people get the chance to opt out
of their disability. I want a world where the social relations I forge
with those who are able-bodied are not predicated on my disability.

As the philosopher of disability Joel

Banks recall over 32 lakh debit cards; govt seeks details

October 20, 2016 21:29 IST

[]
The suspected security breach happened through a 
malware in the systems of Hitachi Payments 
Services, which serves ATM network of Yes Bank


[]


Hit by an unprecedented ATM security breach, 
several public and private sector banks have 
recalled or blocked over 32 lakh debit cards to 
safeguard their customers from any financial 
fraud, while the government has sought from them 
details of all necessary safety measures.


Bankers said the recalled cards include those 
that have been replaced as a 'pre-emptive 
measure', while in many cases the customers have 
been asked to mandatorily change the PIN and 
other security numbers to resume using the blocked cards.


While there were some reports about certain 
cards, affected by security breach, having been 
used fraudulently abroad including in China, 
bankers appeared putting the blame on a payment 
services provider that manages ATM network of a private sector bank.


State-run SBI is said to have re-called around 
600,000 cards, while others like Bank of Baroda, 
IDBI Bank, Central Bank and Andhra Bank have also 
replaced debit cards of several customers as a pre-emptive measure.


Among the private sector players, ICICI Bank, 
HDFC Bank and Yes Bank have asked customers to change their ATM PINs.


HDFC Bank also advised its customers to use its 
own ATMs for carrying out any transaction.


The suspected security breach happened through a 
malware in the systems of Hitachi Payments 
Services, which serves ATM network of Yes Bank.


Hitachi provides payment services through ATM 
services, point of sale services (POS), emerging 
payments services and banking channel products 
like cash recycling ATMs and auto passbook entry machines.


Yes Bank sought to distance itself from the 
breach and stressed on need to police service providers in a better way.


"There needs to be a lot more vigilance where 
there are outsourcing partners to make sure they 
don't endanger the delivery and system risk, and 
there's a fair amount of policing as far as 
outsourcing risks are concerned," Yes Bank chief Rana Kapoor told reporters.


Hitachi Payment Services, however, maintained its 
system was not compromised, citing interim report 
by an external audit agency appointed by it.


According to bankers, the breach took place in 
such a way that anyone using the said bank's ATMs 
in the region might stand to get affected.


Concerned over the issue, the Finance Ministry 
has sought details from banks as also the 
additional steps that need to be taken to avert such incidents.


According to the Ministry sources, the Department 
of Financial Services has sought information 
about implication of such data compromise from Indian Banks Association.


Seeking to calm worried card users, the finance 
ministry also said that debit cards are 
completely safe and there should be no room for panic.


"Only about 0.5 per cent debit card details were 
compromised while remaining 99.5 cards are 
completely safe and bank customers should not 
panic," Department of Financial Services’ 
additional secretary G C Murmu told PTI.


Meanwhile, a finance ministry source said, "We 
have got information from SBI that PIN (Personal 
Identification Number) related with few debit 
cards has been compromised and the bank is in the 
process of replacing it with new card in secured manner."


The bank has taken measures to ensure safety of data, the source added.

In a statement, SBI said, "Card network companies 
NPCI, MasterCard and Visa had informed various 
banks about a potential risk to some cards owing to a data breach.


Accordingly, we have taken precautionary measures 
and have blocked cards of certain customers identified by networks."


SBI's deputy managing director and chief 
operating officer Manju Agarwal said the data 
breach took place between May and July, but was 
discovered only in September and so the bank 
decided to proactively change the cards.


"As soon as we came to know financial data being 
stolen, we asked our customers to change the ATM 
pin numbers. Despite instructions only 7 per cent 
of the customers changed their pin numbers. At 
that point we decided to recall cards as we did 
not want our customers to be at any risk," she said.


She, however, declined to give the number of 
debit cards the bank has recalled, but sources 
said it was around six lakh cards. SBI has issued nearly 20 crore debit cards.


An Axis Bank spokesperson said, "The bank has 
proactively reached out to the affected customers 
and advised them to change their Debit Card PINs. 
The Axis Bank ATM network is fully secured and 
customers should ideally use Axis Bank ATMs to change their Debit Card PINs."


SBI said its systems have not been compromised 
and its existing cardholders are not at any risk.


The bank is in the process of issuing
