I do run it open to the outside through cloudflare tunnels. I don't want to connect my TVs to tailscale every time to play a movie.

In my experience, for coding, they are pretty much SOTA. Maybe not for other sciences and problem solving.

This is a lazy comment.

India's TFR just reached 1.9 which is below replacement rate.. The state I live in with 60m people has 1.5-1.6 TFR and still going down rapidly towards Japan and South Korea level of population decline. This will be seen in the coming decades.

But you can't just go and delete the billions of people already born and are living. You can't change demographics in a day or even a decade.

What does DuckDB mean by query engines here? Something like Trino?

I can't say user metrics but Google Photos came out of Google+ and it is a massively successful product.

Hangouts (now Meet?) was also a product out of Google+ but considering GChat (the xmpp version) existed before, it was kind of a step backwards.

I think Google Local Guide also has some parts of Google+, not sure.

I love the convenience of physical SIMs. Will hate the day when I don't have a choice but to 'upgrade' to eSIMs.

I have a phone with dual physical SIM card slots. I can go to any country in the world, buy a SIM, put it in, and am up and running. eSIM provisioning at airports is barely available in few coubtries.

I broke the display of my phone? Easy, remove the SIM and put it in a spare phone and I can still make and receive calls.

Byju's was perplexing as almost every customer of theirs and the target customers knew what Byju's was doing except those in the board, the VC analysts and LPs.

> red tape

I would attribute red tape to only fintech companies. Ideally edtech should have had redtape considering how much rampant these VC funded companies ran riot.

Also, SV has these red tapes too. Bloom Tech -> California BoE anyone? Red tapes are not always a bad thing for the consumers, maybe for those following grow fast and break model.

I have used OAuth2 with and without JWTs as bearer tokens and pretty much used them the same way. JWT helps with fetching the user details without having to hit the DB/backend, and that's basically was the only difference to me.

I believe the issues he is describing is more OAuth2 rather than JWT.

Wow, I have never been more impressed with any other Show HN before. The sheer number of features and platforms you have covered and also keeping to some core engineering principles at the same time is extremely impressive. I will be trying this product for sure and wish you all the best with this app.

That's how Google Analytics started.

2300 - 23 hundred is a spoken informal thing. Two thousand three hundred is another common usage which might be the 'proper' way.

I have been a long time MacOS user and the app/window switching never made any sense to me. Windows and Linux just does it better.
