My guess is they'll want to become the AI-first developer tools company and branch out into all kinds of different dev products (CI/CD, testing, etc) ala GitHub. Obviously, enterprise is where the real money is.
Why on Earth are people downvoting you? This article is absolutely blogspam. It's a paraphrasing of the PyMongo documentation with absolutely nothing else added, not even any editorializing.
How do you suggest in a country of fucking Billion people you would get people to use something? 40% people don't understand shit, doesn't care about privacy, they want food on their table, they want to get the money they rightfully earn. These people are less fortunate than many of us. With Aadhar and Household gas linked, they get the subsidy rightly in their bank account without paying every fucking agent that would loot them at any possible point.
I agree, making it mandatory for "Income Tax" is bit controversial. But even you also know how many people in India, rightfully pay taxes. The percentage is pretty damn low.
And frankly using Facebook and Twitter is not really a choice. It's a result of being Socially coerced into being on one of the platforms to not feel left out. And anyone who talks about privacy and openness would never be on either of these two if he really knows what he talks about.
Just a question to you. I can understand the problems faced by bribery and it being eradicated but how according to your argument can the person who is illiterate understand about privacy or for that matter things he/she is not expert in?
To elaborate it is not the responsibility of the illiterates or the people who are not knowledgeable to worry about the privacy. Instead it is the responsibility of the people implementing the system to make sure that all security and privacy is implemented and also the laws to be introduced to protect the common man.
This is the very reason the government has think tanks and expert advisors. It seems all these people have failed. When the system fails completely then again it is these same poor common man who will face the brunt presently seen or unseen.
You mean the Cincinnati riots of 2001 I can clearly see why USA should not have voter lists /s
The riots happened in 2002 and NOT 2001 (at least get the year right), and unless you are arguing abolishing voter lists, or have a specific argument that involves Aadhar. I don't see how this is in anyway relevant to this discussion.
Nice deflection! Are you disagreeing that voter lists were used in 2001 to discriminate against muslims? Do we have any laws preventing that from happening with aadhar data?
> mostly anti current government (it spreads fake news most of the times)
Do you consider views from sources that disagree with your own as 'fake news' ? A lot of what you've posted here sounds a lot like the hyper partisan BJP trolls that seem to pop up wherever there's any criticism of the Modi government.
You should try to do better on HN, because I would prefer not to see that particular virulent strain of the internet in relatively sane places.
> I would rather communicate with those who don't label people and jump to conclusions.
Physician, heal thyself.
I love HN and have been reading it for a long time, content to browse. There's very little that jolts me into actually commenting, but your comments since registering did because it's reminiscent of a pattern anyone that's been involved with Indian/South Asian communities or discussions online have seen over and over again - a topic that's critical of the Modi government or the BJP being injected with insults and invective over constructive discussion by sudden newcomers.
The only thing missing to complete the BJP bingo is the traditional cries of 'anti-national'.
Wherever I mentioned the government, did I mention bjp government?
You are just assuming things.
I also mentioned "this government invests lots in advertising", did I mention BJP?
I also mentioned " due to heavy advertising the cosumer of government services has become more aware of his/her right and is asking the Government official more questions".
Why should applying to a university require an Aadhar card? Getting a phone number? Getting gas to my house? They're shoving it down our throats.
I'm not entirely opposed to a UID system in India, but the way its been legislated and implemented in the last few years is absolutely disgusting.
India has absolutely 0 laws when it comes to privacy. Who is accountable when your data is leaked? Its literally upto the Aadhar committee whether they prosecute any leak of data.
I don't mind giving my biometric data to the US government because I have more legal protection in the US if my data is leaked. India has absolutely no laws to deal with my data being leaked and misused. Also, my biometric data in the US is only used at entry and exit - its not used for every single action I do while in the country. Aadhar tracks literally every action you take - which is scary.
