> Exogamy between castes remains very low, even between different high castes.

What are you basing this on?

Then why publish it at all?

Not to mention, the article made no effort to establish that it's describing the world 2 years prior to this being written

> I wish journalists would stop simply reprinting intentionally misleading company spin like this without any attempt to refute it.

That's exactly what reporters _should not_ do. Why would i want them to mix their opinions in when reporting an actual statment from the company.

People are perfectly capable of forming their own opinions.

This isn't what a hostile takeover is. Is it?

It wasn't true even when they wrote the blog. Realistically this should read 2018 because apparently they waited two years before writing this blogpost.

I remember when this article came out, everybody was pointing out the fact that they used a go version that was several releases older.

Perhaps if the intent wasn't to convince their managers to let them write it in Rust, they would have tried using the latest Go version at the time?

The difference between the last 3 realme phones would be: a different camera, a different screen, a different brand of processor between each of these and they would have been released 3 weeks apart.

> They've been making iPhone SEs in India for a while now.

They've been making 11s,12s in the same plant in the OP

The 13 production started only now.

> vs. $799 in the USA

vs. $829 in the USA

799 includes carrier discounts. You get bank discounts in India which would get the price down to little over $800

iPhone 13 costs about the same as it would if you bought it in the US.

But 13 Pro is a different story It costs $1580 compared to $1099 (incl. tax) in the US. I guess they don't make iPhone 13 Pros in India

Several Indian states have a lower gini coefficient than the US and it's still possible to hire household help here.

So SV pays 4-5x or 0.85-0.9x adjusting for cost of living

And EU/Uk pays 2x or 0.4-0.5x adjusting for cost of living.

Devs in India are getting paid _more_ now adjusting for cost of living..

It's just that, cost of living stops making sense after a specific amount. For a lot of things $1 = $1

You want to buy a laptop in India? still costs $2000. Vacation to Exotic Islands? Would still cost the same.

You don't want to indentify as an Indian or a person of Indian origin. Yet you couldn't keep yourself from commenting on this thread.

> If you are a guy (or worse a girl) who insists it’s not that bad in india, then you grew up with extreme privilege or are extremely clueless about realities of life in this country.

What kind of argument is this even? "If you disagree with me, you're clueless"?

There's definitely some "I'll shit on my birth country to win Western approval" energy here..
