If Kerala can do it why can't other states like Bihar do it too? (Not asking rhetorically)
From what I see from the article the major gains were from investment in health and education which should be a no brainer.

It wasn't until chatgpt was released that we fully grasped the potential of AI, leading to a surge in innovation every week.
Regardless of any criticisms, it's undeniable that OpenAi played a significant role in accelerating the progress and acceptance of AI in our daily lives.
Is it doing the same thing? Seems rather easy and cheap to make.
In contrast, India's decision to rely on solar panels led vikram lander to be dead in just 14 days due to lack of sunlight (afaik).
I'm curious about the rationale behind this choice when nuclear power seems like a far superior option. Can someone shed light on this decision?
Cloudflare is pretty strict about the Html to media ratio and might suspend or terminate your account if you are serving too many images.
I've read far too many horror stories about this on hn only so please make sure what you're doing is allowed by their TOS.
Tragically, some individuals have even committed suicide due to this blackmail(1). So dozens of people have actually killed themselves because they mistakenly gave a permission on their phone.. just let that sink in.
Google is in a difficult position. On one hand, they need to protect user data with strict security measures. On the other hand, these measures can be seen as overly restrictive. It’s a delicate balance, and unfortunately, there’s no easy solution.

I guess a lot of things aren't that simple or accessible as most of it is often a black box nowadays. But anyway, Skills like these not only saved money but also fostered a sense of self-reliance, resourcefulness and stuff your parents taught you as life skills.
My dad, who worked in a garment export house, used to tell me stories about how people in the West preferred disposable items and often opted for newer stuff, whether it was cars, gadgets, or clothes. At the time, I didn't understand this mentality. But now, with increased buying power and lower costs (thanks to China), we too tend to just chuck things away and get replacements.
I deeply admire people who don't give up midway and think it's easier to buy new. This type of persistence and resourcefulness is truly commendable.
It's a stark reminder that even paid models aren't immune to market forces and operational challenges.
Maybe the real takeaway is that no business model is foolproof, and unless you can self host something you can never know when and how it will end.
I've bookmarked this site and hope it remains available when I need it, unlike many great Show HN posts that vanish after six months or so.
I believe they are the #1 reason why foreigner tourists are scared of coming to India. The amount of scam and harrasment done by these old taxi drivers is just another level. The luxury and straightforwardness of app taxis is unparalleled to what we used to have before.

I think it may be more expensive in US.
This may not work for everyone but for me it works exceptionally. Most often the reason why you don't want to work on something is because you find it too hard, too boring, or too irrelevant. But if you force yourself to be bored for a while, you will eventually crave some mental stimulation.
And that's when you can pick up the task you have been avoiding and work on it with renewed interest and focus.
Of course, this requires some discipline and self-awareness. You have to resist the temptation of checking your phone, browsing the web, or doing anything else that distracts you from your boredom.
Maybe there is some psychological reason for it but I have found this technique to be very effective for overcoming procrastination and getting things done.
I wish they would do a behind the scenes on how much money, time, optimisation is done to make this all work.
Also big fan of anyscale. Their pricing is just phenomenal for running models like mixtral. Not sure how they are so affordable.
My eyes were constantly watery and some of my friends actually had trouble breathing.
Last I went there the Delhi govt was using fire brigades to sprinkle water on trees in an effort to reduce it.
Though my eyes had started burning within hours of landing. Maybe it was psychological.
I am so much happier having moved to another part of India. I guess I'm lucky that my job doesn't require me to stay in a fixed place but I feel really sorry for my friends who are going through this, especially as Diwali is coming and it's gonna get so much worse.

Even my when users can't find the big blue button that says "Click here to continue >>" and send me angry emails the software is confusing, I have to often start my emails with "I apologize about the confusion. The only one big blue button in the center of the screen that says "Click here to continue >>" can be often easy to miss. I've increased the font-size to 42px but I'm open to your suggestions on how can I make it easier for you to understand. If you still can't find it send me a screenshot and I'll draw a red arrow"
And then I would have just thought it's too much work for nothing and that'd be the end of it :P
In India there are huge cash transactions at time of elections for buying votes, and all sorts of illegal activities to win elections. Demonitisation helped BJP the UP elections which was just impossible, now this will help with the LS elections.
If that doesn't work, I can ask follow up questions or tell it things like refactor the code for me. It's so much better than sifting through garbage on Google with the SO clones and outdated answers. That is actual value for me.
From what I understand since my amount is low I don't have to really do anything. Is that correct? Any advice for me?
I'm learning web programming and this seems quite useful for what I'm doing. Any tips on how to do it in php with this?
I think an app like that needs a lot of mass and momentum and side-loading and VPN are limited to a very few savvy users.
I think it's time to add another HN tab called Complaints where we can post complaints for the common culprits like Google, Stripe, Pinboard, etc. It sounds backwards but the amount of people HN has helped over years it must add to millions of dollars to priceless things like getting back your email and photos.
Big kudos to dang and HN for standing up for the average person and being this helpful!
The issue is not blocking of IP addresses, the issue is one company hosting almost half the internet and having too much power causing such unintended consequences.
This also avoids the problem of deliberately skewed search results full of affiliate links to promote products veiled as useful content (of which the web is full).
