Yes, exactly.

Why speculate on battery prices. Worst case you will be spending 20K after 5 years. It is should be acceptable risk for most people buying a Tesla. You still get to enjoy 5 years with an incredible vehicle.

In India, device & data are not linked. You buy device separately and data separately most of the time. Most of the users are on pre-paid plans. Whenever their plan expires, they recharge.

Starting cost for smart phones is around $50. You can get very decent devices for about $100. When you consider most people use it for Facebook, Whatsapp, YouTube, and basic games, the performance is more than sufficient.

Data plans are available for as low as 7 cents per day with a 1.5GB daily allowance. Yes, it is 1.5GB per day. You just recharge it once in three months for about $6. That is the rate on lowest cost network. It may raise to $7 or $8 per 3 months on other networks. You can also get 3 GB per day allowance for $5 per month.

No other country is going to come anywhere near these costs anytime soon.

Why should the content creators be solely responsible for such comments. Isn't Youtube jointly responsible? Will they refund the money charged to their advertisers?

If not, this is only a tactic to maximize their revenue, not for protecting children.

The "researcher" is trying to invent the problem where nothing exists. Most likely he has already written his paper before collecting data, and fit the data to suit his theory. He tactfully adds that problem is for "poor" people, so that anybody will think twice before rebutting his theory.

India is perfectly fine with a single time zone. Our east wakes up when the sun is coming up, around 4 AM. In the west they may normally go to bed couple of hours after sun goes down, regardless what the clock says. Our day light hours vary very little with season with maximum deviation of about 4 hours in northern latitudes. So India is much better placed with number of night hours than most of US.

The real problem is for the IT slaves working night shifts to cover US time zones, which no time zone tweaking is going to fix.

Indian classic music traditions use a similar 8-note, 12-chromatic note format as Western music. There are usage variations, but the mathematical fundamentals are same.

What is the schedule for shutting down FDL?

I would like a study on why the scientists spend time studying things that are obvious to nursery school teachers.

Yeah, let us now compare capabilities a 7 year old rocket/ship to another with over 50 years of history.

Soyuz can carry three astronauts at most to ISS, and is a single purpose ship. Crew Dragon can carry 7, and also some cargo making the transportation to station cheaper overall.

Humans can only depend on traffic signs on unfamiliar roads. But self-driving cars can access the road database and check the normal speed on that road, and may be able to guess possible issues with the street sign.

That is called business - where the buyer and seller both benefit. NASA got their cargo transportation much cheaper than what it would cost them otherwise, and SpaceX got a flight tested rocket, which can be used for other customers.

That is such an ancient and painful technology. Probably this measure will make it unusable and kill it. May be that is the idea.

In India, we bypassed the voice mail "revolution" altogether.

So which is better? Pushing an aggressive schedule to to launch, but getting delayed or having a well planned (aka leisurely) schedule and still getting delayed?

I second elementaryOS. It is very neat and clean UI and sensible defaults (most of the time). It is based on Ubuntu, so your have excellent package support. I have seen it working over 90% of the time with just default installation.

Some Linux veterans may feel a bit crippled since it has very limited customization options, but for newbies, and those who don't intend to fiddle with the system, but just use it, it is the best I have seen in a long time.
