You're right, the only exceptionalism worth drooling over is that of the US.

I'm pretty sure you're misinformed.
First, Mastercard's 'holdings', whatever you mean by that have no bearing on their obligation to follow the laws of the country they endeavor to do business in.
Second, even if one assumes market capitalization is what you meant, you'd be off close to an order of magnitude. As of today Mastercard's market cap is 387B whereas Indian GDP was 2.62T in 2020 https://tradingeconomics.com/i...

Submission + - Anti-solar panel can generate electricity at night, researchers say (inverse.com)
monkeyFuzz writes: One of the problems with solar panels is that they don't generate electricity at night, so we have to store the electricity they generate during the day to power things during the evening. That works fine, but what if we could develop solar panels that did generate electricity at night? It's possible, and the way it works is pretty surprising.
Researchers from the University of California, Davis explain in a new paper that was just published in the journal ACS Photonics that if you want to create a solar panel that generates electricity at night, then you just have to create one that operates the exact opposite way solar panels work during the day. It's being referred to as the "anti-solar panel."
