Can you look into integrating with private book repositories like Calibre? Also, many books on Archive.org are scanned PDFs (usually as images). This would need OCR probably. Would this work with them ? I feel that this would be most useful with old books where the text is not easily searchable, citations are not convenient, or definitions need lookups.

> But seriously, how it the Government supposed to regulate how much computing power you use, its a ridiculous idea.

Same way we saw runaway power consumption from Bitcoin miners. Every gold rush brings with it pressure on resources and both direct and indirect impact on others.

How did you do it? Can you share an example?

Man. Implement some spam blocker on your site. Most the Guides/posts are blanks or garbage

Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News, and iCloud+ will outpace the Appstore as they gain traction. They just have to ensure that they maintain quality.

> Signage and discovery are a joke. The App Store is littered with garbage, and even when you search for an app by name, you often get unrelated apps for pages and pages before the real app.

That's what you get by making it is easy for anyone to develop and release apps. It is a very low barrier of entry. Almost anyone sitting at home can make an app and release it. If they release garbage to game the system and Apple blocks it, then there cries of draconian policies.

Imagine the garbage that you will have to wade through when sideloading is forced upon them.

Having no Buyers is politics. Reforms in farm law which would have opened up markets for farmers were repealed because of politics and protest by vested interests.

Not just mindshare, ability to crank out volume, captive battery production and vertical integration

Unless they can crank out the volume like Tesla they will be relegated to a niche market. Only big guys like Ford, Volkswagon, GM can make it now.

Toyota bet heavily on hydrogen. They are still convinced that is the future.

This would be great for spin cycles and exercise bikes. many bikes now come with BLE controllers that transmit speed and cadence information that could be used for speed controls. The directional controls can be emulated by a keyboard emulator (arduino based) etc.

This is really great. Can you please add Net Income after calculation. That would be useful.

> English is the language of elitism in India.

English is lingua franca regardless of social or economic status.

Every child gets to learn 3 languages : one local language, One regional elective (or Hindi), and English.

English is now pervasive enough that transliterated words are common in all languages and are being used natively. People use English words and idioms without even realizing they are speaking English. You will find even in remotest corners someone who will understand and converse in rudimentary English (especially the youngsters).

You need location info in addition to distance since roads and infrastructure are owned and maintained by various agencies. The solution could be to build upon EZPASS. Have the EZPass readers in every signboard or lamppost along the highways. They can read and record distance travelled along a particular highway so that revenue can be attributed to appropriate agency.

Apple does not need to compete. it is not as if FAANG guys can suddenly absorb 1000s of employees trying to switch. it will create even more selective hiring.

Actually engineers are not interchangeable. whilst marketing and sales are. both hardware and software engineers have proprietary knowledge of products, marketing can be picked up by anyone with couple of weeks of orientation.

This argument is tenuous at most. Just because some companies are setting up data centers does not mean that Govt is deliberately forcing data residency to aid them.

It is ok for Europeans to insist on data residency within their shores but not for India? It is ok for Americans to insist on no data to be hosted in Chinese servers but not India?

There are millions of dogs waiting to be adopted, It is not about shortage of dogs but some rescues specially importing stray dogs from other countries.

Just go on petfinder and see how many dogs are available

There is thriving business by various rescue groups that are importing dogs. They can charge as much under the guise of travel costs and vetting. There is no reason to import STRAY dogs from other countries while there are millions of dogs in local shelters unadopted/rescues and are being euthanized daily.

This is soon going to devolve into people holding users for ransom after they get sufficient traction of their software due to it being open source. Good that you are using the software. Now any fixes or new features are going to cost you since there is now an elite group of users who get pay for features while the ones who adopted early are left in lurch.

Come on..You get listing and visibility and distribution worldwide, Consumers don't have to worry about your credentials and bonafides because app store due diligence checks help keep out malicious and fraudulent apps.

People can download appstore apps without worry as opposed to some random guy publishing an open source app that most don't have time or expertise to vet.

Yes. You missed the agenda when every village was connected had a phone and the Govt laid down infrastructure for it or when they erected TV towers across length and breadth of country in 80s.

Unless you are talking about legacy roads where coverage was more important. All current highways and expressways are multilane and built according to international standards.

Needs ability to import Azure and AWS icons. Also import popular framework logos and icons.

"It's on owners to do their best to prevent police from interacting with their unrestrained dogs."

This there is the problem. Why should the general public be afraid of police when on a daily basis their dogs do interact with other professionals and workers?. This is because of fear inculcated by their behavior and there is no recourse later.

This does not make sense. There are other professions who come into contact with strange dogs on a daily basis (postal workers, Ups, delivery men, landscapers, utilities inspectors). How many get bitten or face aggression? They would face this issue on a much larger scale but it not so.

"Another way of looking at it, is that if it's allowed for dropbox it could be allowed for other apps."

And the same people will cry censorship if Apple tries to enforce anything on Dropbox.

To your anecdote, I am mac os user for about 8 years now. I blindly update whenever there is an update notification without reservation. Not a single issue encountered in all these years. I am sure there are legions of users like me.

Have multiple macs and use them for both personal and work use.

One alternative could be instead of shooting surface based garbage into the Sun can we not not just sequester the thousands of dead/decommissioned/dangerous human launched objects orbiting around our planet and launch them towards Sun?
