Mumbai has two rail-based transports. The metro is tiny compared to the western railways network but expanding and going to cover huge swaths of the city. Though, I can totally understand about your experience with the railways. As a non-mu

4M what? Delhi doesn't have 4M cars. It's pretty much bordering on 9M cars, 10M if you include the greater NCR area. The closest number I can find is 31.8L daily ridership in the metro which seems reasonable. The metro had an annu

They’ve already shown troubling signs. When Jio was launched, senior executives, when asked about how they’ll increase revenues, said, “There’s something called as Deep Packet Inspection and the potential is enormous”[1] Second, Jio frequen

India still invests a lot in public infrastructure. Bangalore is an exception. Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur etc have invested a lot in urban infra especially the metro. Bangalore was just not ready for the influx of IT companies and is having seri

Even technical too. Take for example apps made in electron. HN and reddit quickly start squabbling about electron itself and quickly forget that value is perceived based on productivity or leisure. Unless and until the app is extra ordinari

You honestly need both. Of course, a pihole will not be able to block someone who goes to the length of developing and using a custom DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS webpage. Similarly uBlock origin is not available for anything else except

This is naive. Your argument is hinged on the proposition that rich countries will remain rich and poor countries will stay poor. Given the current economic activity, a shit ton of countries will become rich and their resource consumption

I dont believe that this becomes a nail in the coffin for hosting your own infrastructure. This should still be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Those hunger pangs are temporary. Your body will adjust in some time. Fruits like watermelon or vegetables like raw cucumber help. They make you feel full without costing calories.

I remember reading a similar article from NYT or WaPo on how executives of major companies had to use burner devices when travelling to China. That device was disposed off on return. The article pretty much implied that it was the status qu

This is exaggeration. You're overselling linux but underselling macOS. It's not terrific in every aspect (window snapping being one) but you don't have to pay for every basic utilities on mac. Finder is reasonable. Preview su

Not really. Having your password manager store both the tokens and the password increases the odds of all your logins being compromised in one swoop. Separate them out and you’ll at least be able to hedge against some account compromises gi

I digress. In India, my local ISP owns the last mile and I pay approximately 14 USD each for two lines of symmetric and unlimited 100 Mbps. ISPs can own the last mile. All you need is extensive competiton. I went from paying $100(4M/25

So bandwidth is actually very cheap. It certainly costs nowhere as much as AWS/GCP charge. Some reports peg their margins on bandwidth at >90%. That said, I've frequently seen parallels between razor + razor blades pricing and

ProtonMail appears to be secure so far but a couple of weeks ago there were some accusations levelled against ProtonVPN by PIA. While a lot of it was debunked but anyone pursuing the thread would be left with a bit of cynicism. But here’s t

Apart from books, kindles and maybe heavy electronics, almost everything Amazon lists can be counterfeited. Clothing, accessories, shoes, chargers, cables and headphone are prime candidates. Right now the only way to get a genuine product i

This is so fucking true. If anything you can see this in the real marketplace. Consumers have become so averse to paying for software because they see gmail, google maps, google keep, docs and photos as available for “free” - meaning they h

You can? Just monitor the network traffic. Should be very easy on Wifi. Might not work if they’re using HSTS for iCloud. That said there’s still blackbox hardware when it comes to the baseband. All devices which I’m aware of come with binar
