Hard disagree. There is no evidence that startups of India are helping the GDP or improving the lives of rank and file Indians. In my understanding, right now, all these VC funded businesses are catering to top 100M of Indian population, people who are already living US-lifestyle in India.

Many people somehow are able to overlook the lack of infrastructure and accident prone roads. Family+having access to maids, cooks, drivers, etc is a big driver of this behavior.

Anyone knows a good API to access books in my library? It is 2021 and there is no App which sends me daily notifications of what I must read. It is insane. The book is already checked out. I just need a remainder to read it or a random page given to me.

No. Whitewashed as as in give an aura of we did no shady things, we never faked anything, we did not have to give an extreme discounts to anyone, all our discussions with customers were straight forward.

Great question. But related to this, what is the best "always" ON digital Photo frame with an API/wifi connectivity?

I want to make a screen which my kids can see every morning. It will pull interesting pics from reddit or from NASA, for example.

A cabinet minister (secretary in US administration) got a call like this out of the blue. That is when the India govt work up to the problem. Nothing was done so far though,

Interesting. Thanks very much. I will try it out.

Not really. news channels, print media, billboards, internet websites use devanagari script. But in Messenger apps, FB, Telegram, people use latin script.

This is great. Is there an easy "open source terminal emulator" where I can run this after I typed enter but before it is executed? More like. is there a way the terminal can understand I typed a bad command and then give suggestions for changing it.

QA is not rolled up in to software engineering. Developers are now expected to write UTs and ITs. Except in companies like Apple, where there are still Manual QA and SDET positions.
