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.
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.
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.

Wow, I have never been more impressed with any other Show HN before.

I will be trying this product for sure and wish you all the best with this app.
Worse in multilingual countries. The websites somehow think I speak the most prominent language in the country when I can't understand a word of it and I prefer English and my own language.
How is it different from any digital payment? Many European countries and the US has been doing digital transactions for like 2 decades now. How was it not authoritarian then but suddenly when the Asian people do it, it's a way to track everything people does and not the simplest explanation which is it makes transactions easier?
It's just not screenshots. Initially the payment apps added moving icons/pictures to differentiate screenshots with actual payment confirmation screens. As a response, some people made specialized apps which dynamically recreated the same exact payment confirmation screen of the popular apps with moving parts, fake transaction id etc.
Similarly Netherlands is not even as big as most provinces/states of the bigger countries where internet wiring challenges exists. So not sure what is the point of bringing up the Netherlands.
Honestly, many of the employees and scenarios quoted in the article comes out like they were because of people making decisions without forethought. Do note they are still earning more than 95% of the population and will come out as entitled for readers who are not really attuned to the tech scene.
