Ironic, but keep asking LLMs till you can connect it to your "known truth" knowledge. For many topics I spend ~15-60 mins on various topics asking for details, questioning any contradictory answers, verifying assumptions to get what feels right answer. I talked with them for topics varying from democracy-economy, irrational number proofs and understanding rainbows.
In India it is same. But because the roads are bad, so a high ground clearance vehicle is desired. Though the SUVs are much smaller than the US counterparts.
The model is called Open Core, so is well understood so I am not sure what is causing this confusion. The editor is open source as evident from a dozen forks. The complete experience which includes extensions has closed source pieces which the forks won't access to. But OSS community can build replacement or other companies can provide alternatives.
Just because pylance is available doesn't stop jetbrains/Google/OSS from creating an LS. Maybe no such exists as if now, but not from a technical blocker. Just no one created one.
You are assuming manufacturing trade as only income. Services export and IP export are other where USA leads. When Apple sells iPhone in India and China, it gets to bring back the profits to the USA. Same goes for EU paying for Netflix and Disney movies and Google services. Same for McDonalds, Starbucks, Coca Cola and Pepsi. Collectively, US companies make 100s of billions of profits from outside USA. Another perk is being the reserve currency, you print bonds for free, get clothes/toys for that and rest of the world is just holding onto that IOU. Again, trillions of dollars.
VC investments are for private solutions to build likes of Alipay in India. These are govt. initiatives to ensure no one party gets monopoly on core infrastructure of the nation.
I think more than cost; it is more a desire for sovereignty and also making everything trackable. As happened in Russia, US govt can block Mastercard/Visa from the country or can block a company like Huawei and local govt has no say in it.
That is the monopoly cost. UPI is free for both payee and payer. Whatever it costs banks to operate it is covered by reduced cost of dealing with cash/consumer.
In UPI (similar Indian system), govt backed system acts as a central conduit between apps, banks, payment service system. So, the user can easily switch apps/banks. This prevents any hard monopoly but ensures competition and innovations at all levels.
By then, China and hopefully US shall have observation satellites revolving moon and a scientific base. If it happens, we will be getting tonnes of data otherwise nearly impossible to get.
It's simple, the labour cost for repair is lower than the replacement cost, we also have people scavenging for valuables in landfills. As/When India will become rich enough, this will become uneconomical. Long term solution is to force companies to build products with repairability in mind.
As per your 1st document (page 15). Kerala has risen from 84.6 to 152 (~80%) while Haryana from 106.9 to 176.8 (~65%) in addition to the fact that most of the Haryana's growth has come from being in proximity of New Delhi. Same for Tamil Nadu (56%).
My father/grandfather were avid fans of international broadcasts. VoA, Radio Nippon, Deutsche Weller, BBC. By our childhood, TV came with 2 channels and in adolescence 60. My son has access to YouTube, Netflix...
Valuing it like a regular car company will bring share price below 50. Anything above requires faith that it will transform to some AI, energy, fsd transport company.
I think primary concern is will DucDb pull something like RedisLabs. Wherein they are open source till it gets enough traction and after that pull the rug.
China is better at free market capitalism. While in US markets quickly gravitate towards monopoly or duopoly, China has multiple companies in each sector.
Many Indian movies are available on YouTube. Particularly old movies or dubbed from South Indian languages to Hindi. Some of them of 100s of millions of views. Considering home video market is more or less dead. YouTube is the best pay per view (via ads) available.
