The regulations require it to be enabled by default afaik. SBI (I don't have experience with other banks) allows you to turn off 2FA for different classes of transactions. It's hidden away in the settings on their legacy web inter

Love seeing the desis come out on Hacker News. It's good to see that my internal stereotype of desi techies remains accurate. Anyway, "ram ram".

If you really think Jio's reach into the government is comparable to TurboTax you may not be appreciating that TurboTax is not owned by the largest industrial group in America & the richest person in America. Try TurboTax being own

AFAIK the original purchase was much cheaper because the spectrum was assigned for IPTV, not telephony. The government later 'regularized' it, that being a euphemism for being bribed enough to change the allowed use of the spectru

Google Pay has existed for a long time pre-UPI. The UPI app was known as Google Tez until the brands were combined last year, it's now called.Google.Pay but the app is still separate from the actual Google Pay app. (NFC wallet being th

Love starship. Fast, easily customizable, and best of all works on Windows as well as macOS/Linux. (Unsure about BSD, but I presume that as well)

You use 30-150GB a day on your cell phone? I had unlimited data for a long time and realized I used little.more than half a gigabyte per day unless I was away from home & office (in a different city etc.)

"Hire slow, fire fast" is a great example of valleyspeak that may seem horrible to someone who doesn't already know it is.

The success of Jio in great part is down to the government retroactively converting their spectrum licenses to GSM.

There's a alternative implementation for the BW server that is much more lightweight than the original called bitwarden_rs.

The phrase used often is 'caste-class nexus'. I think that's a good way to put it.

The concept of a middle class doesn't really apply particularly well to India in terms of it's use in economics. I have found in my experience that people who refer to themselves as upper middle class (in the Indian context) are u

Personally, I would engaging with the caste system for any purpose other than to destroy it is very wrong. I've seen plenty of upper-caste people assume someone's caste based on their appearance. They may have been wrong, but I fa

It may be surprising or disconcerting to you, but it is an assumption that is usually borne out - I don't have figures for you, so I can't speak to this specific case. It is well documented that access to education, wealth, and mo

If you're raised in India, it is relatively easy to determine someone's general (varna) caste and specific (jati) caste from their familial name(s) and/or physical appearance. You can pick these things up by osmosis from adul

From my knowledge of working as an ACMT, Apple processes every part it takes out of a computer during repair service. I couldn't say how many are fixed in the manner you're talking about, but I can say that a significant proportio

If you'd checked the example you rely upon further down you'd have seen that in fact the individual Al-Qaeda groups are listed specifically in the State Department's listed of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Now obviously I

Sorry, you saw women and children being violently assaulted firsthand? I hope you filed a police report. Antifa is definitely not a new thing, having been around in Europe since the rise of fascism in the first half of the 20th century.

Have you tried 19.10 or 20.04? Before that I had a lot of issues with my Dell XPS 9560 because of optimus, but it got a lot better in those versions. YMMV but it actually worked out of the box with nary a hint of manual configuration when I
