really like that it's completely client side and no ads.

That's one thing that India got right in response to Covid. The primary focus of the stimulus to alleviate the supply side constraints[1][2].

Many were questioning the approach of focusing on supply side, making small changes, observing and reacting instead of a big mega stimulus the likes of USA did. Good to see some merit in India.

I think India’s position was much more fiscally constrained to even consider a demand-side stimulus. I think a means-tested demand-side stimulus was still warranted given the number of people and industries who lost their livelihood because of multiple shutdowns.

Unlikely, jio has been operating for more then a couple of years and there’s no sign of this happening. In fact, it’s had the opposite effect of catapulting the digital ecosystem to another level.

My current automations are food related( groceries, milk, diapers), bill payments (rent, electricity, landline) and investments (daily SIP in index funds and monthly FDs). While this is trivial I really feel it has taken a load off me as I have a habit of forgetting things.

Am not so sure he will fare well in US. I recall Aaron Swartz faced a similar charge leading to his tragic demise.

I suspect the developer learned from the experience, and would likely not repeat the same mistake.

With a population of more than a billion I think India has enough bright minds available for all of them.

Also, with India trying to increase its influence and assertiveness in global affairs having bright people in foreign affairs seems a good thing to happen.

Nope, most people aren't educated fully.

India has a literacy rate of 90% as of 2015[1], so I think the point holds.

There's a bit more to being well educated than basic literacy though, and it's only among the young that literacy almost reaches 90%

Your link also notes that there are 255 million illiterate people in India, which is around the total population of the world's fourth most populous country.

Googling India literacy rate finds a source which says 75%. Maybe my gut experience is wrong because I live in an urban city in India, but I would be pretty impressed by 90%.

This is the first time I am seeing that a phone is priced cheaper in India. It is exclusively available online in India on http://www.flipkart.com/motorola/motoe

A friend of mine just bought one last night.

Its out of stock already!

I switched to Postman because it supports attaching files to make multipart request, which the RestClient does not.

You get what you pay for. The only people joining would be the one's who have no other option. They'll only harm themselves in the long run I think.

One problem I recently encountered is that some images refused to load on IE8. Turns out that the IE does not support CYMK color spaced images and the image appeared significantly differently on chrome and firefox. Was quite surprising since I had assumed that jpeg was a standard format and would be supported by all.

I run into this same issue when creating previews from print comps. You should be able to specify a colorspace to resolve that: http://blog.rodneyrehm.de/archives/4-CMYK-Images-And-Browser...

Yeah, but changing the color space to RGB also significantly alters the way it appears. Then I have users who complain that this is not what they uploaded and its a genuine complain.

I was going to suggest that the real problem is people using IE8 but that wouldn't go too well I guess
