Re:Jio’s phone will run Android and cost about $54
on Thursday September 24, 2020 @11:26AM (#24579481)
Only a very small fraction of Indians care or are aware about privacy. Even if there was no Jio, you wouldn't still have privacy. American/Chinese government and businesses already have access to your data. To think that governments will voluntarily abandon control over data is wishful. That ship has already sailed. I would rather give my data to Indian government and companies than foreign.
Also, you are really underemphasising the role of Jio in the digital revolution in India. If you live in India, you would remember the exorbitant data charges by telecom companies in the pre-Jio era. At least because of Jio, internet has more become accessible to the masses.

Being from India, I confirm this. Broadband plans cost around that. Mobile 4G plans are around 6$ per month for 1.5GB per day of usage. Though the speeds are more like 3G.

Every number doesn't have its own name. If you observe closely there is a pattern. From 21 to 99, you can observe that every digit at tens place decides the suffix and the digit at ones place decides the prefix.

If we are to mass deploy self driving cars, we must solve this problem. No one would want to travel by cars that could be tricked so easily.
This also leads to a moral and legal questions. If a self driving car injures someone, who will be responsible, the person owning the car or the manufacturer?

Not exactly. The number of people with unsalaried jobs is large because of the fact that a large number of people (60%) are still employed in agricultural sector.

Though Firefox on Android has improved a lot with the recent quantum update, you can still feel it's a little laggy as compared to Chrome.
Specifically, scrolling on Firefox feels very laggy. Also, Firefox doesn't play videos on same tab. That becomes very frustrating.

These people are mainly relatively unskilled. These companies are notorious for hiring entire batches of graduating students.
Situation in top tier colleges is lot better. This can be seen from increase in placements in IITs this year.
