yes. Let's turn this place into r/technology

> Exogamy between castes remains very low, even between different high castes.

What are you basing this on?

Then why publish it at all?

Not to mention, the article made no effort to establish that it's describing the world 2 years prior to this being written

> I wish journalists would stop simply reprinting intentionally misleading company spin like this without any attempt to refute it.

That's exactly what reporters _should not_ do. Why would i want them to mix their opinions in when reporting an actual statment from the company.

People are perfectly capable of forming their own opinions.

This isn't what a hostile takeover is. Is it?

It wasn't true even when they wrote the blog. Realistically this should read 2018 because apparently they waited two years before writing this blogpost.

I remember when this article came out, everybody was pointing out the fact that they used a go version that was several releases older.

Perhaps if the intent wasn't to convince their managers to let them write it in Rust, they would have tried using the latest Go version at the time?

The difference between the last 3 realme phones would be: a different camera, a different screen, a different brand of processor between each of these and they would have been released 3 weeks apart.

> They've been making iPhone SEs in India for a while now.

They've been making 11s,12s in the same plant in the OP

The 13 production started only now.

> vs. $799 in the USA

vs. $829 in the USA

799 includes carrier discounts. You get bank discounts in India which would get the price down to little over $800

iPhone 13 costs about the same as it would if you bought it in the US.

But 13 Pro is a different story It costs $1580 compared to $1099 (incl. tax) in the US. I guess they don't make iPhone 13 Pros in India

Several Indian states have a lower gini coefficient than the US and it's still possible to hire household help here.

So SV pays 4-5x or 0.85-0.9x adjusting for cost of living

And EU/Uk pays 2x or 0.4-0.5x adjusting for cost of living.

Devs in India are getting paid _more_ now adjusting for cost of living..

It's just that, cost of living stops making sense after a specific amount. For a lot of things $1 = $1

You want to buy a laptop in India? still costs $2000. Vacation to Exotic Islands? Would still cost the same.

You don't want to indentify as an Indian or a person of Indian origin. Yet you couldn't keep yourself from commenting on this thread.

> If you are a guy (or worse a girl) who insists it’s not that bad in india, then you grew up with extreme privilege or are extremely clueless about realities of life in this country.

What kind of argument is this even? "If you disagree with me, you're clueless"?

There's definitely some "I'll shit on my birth country to win Western approval" energy here..

India taxes petroleum that much not to generate more revenue -- for they can always raise the sales tax rates -- but to reduce consumption and keep the balance of payments in check.

Digital arsonists who do it for the attention

> The movement towards free and open source software was created in no small part do to activists with a very strong ideology

They did have a strong ideology and they worked towards building the world they wished to see. Not by breaking existing things to virtue signal their support for "the current thing"

> eager to default at this point as doing so could cause financial damage in the West.

What about Russian banks and Russian bond holders? External debt is generally only a fraction of the total debt

Google fails miserably over there too.

First page is full of results from a handful of sites.

> The vast majority of thinking here is not very sophisticated about these types of topics

Oh it's the classist "I'm smarter than the average person in my country" crowd again.

Why do you assume you know better? Perhaps they know what they're trading and perhaps it's worth the cost.

I wouldn't call it so much the implementation of ML but rather from when they decided they were an AI/ML company.

The Amazon recommendations engine, the poster child of ML in 2014 isn't any good at recommending products that I actually want to buy either.

> It's the government.

If that's your logic, it's very hard to argue with it. It's literally a separate entity even from what you described.

> Where do you think coins and federal reserve notes come from?

the federal reserve which is not the government.

If you think government can print money out of thin air why do they even have to collect taxes. Can they not print their yearly expenditures?

You should think more on this question before you reply with some circular theory

Yes. It doesn't.

Not only that: the government cannot and does not create money.

But now with the benefit of hindsight, we do know how it turned out for c++. right?

> Google was better ten years ago because search was an easier problem to solve back then

Has anyone considered the possibility that all this Machine learning and AI models is what made Google and YouTube searches worse?

> Somewhat ironically, the only way to avoid this is to query via Google (site:youtube.com [term]) where you will get a much larger set of results.

Even more ironically and many here would have experienced this themselves: the best way to find something on YouTube is to use Bing

> a whole new level of the entire world trying to game their search

I think their #1 problem is their product managers trying to do "something" to add said something to their resume and making the product horrible to use in the process

Examples include: - Grid view tab switcher in Chrome Android - Removing dislike count on YouTube

Your comment implies that you think bonds and Banknotes are the same.

And you clearly have no clue what the gold standard was.

Anybody making this argument needs to tell me why the government needs taxes/bonds if it "can just print money"

I want to see the kind of mental gymnastics that people have to do fit in the false idea that government creates money out of thin air

That's how I felt in 2015. 7 years later, i still haven't learnt Rust and i don't see companies around here using Rust anyway

I neither understand how that's insulting to you nor how that justifies you insulting these OSS projects.

Did you write Borg or something?
