Did you know that though vitrification, state of the art cryogenics researched have achieved to preserve 100% of the structure of a pig brain?
The science for preserving with 100% accuracy your brain is already here.
Those scientists use this technology to preserve organs and the cryogenic property is just a side effect. We simply need an enterprise that reproduce their results on human brains (shouldn't be different than a pig brain) and that commercialize it.
The process replace blood and other brain fluids with a chemically toxic fluid.
Which means that while the structure is preserved, any attempt at resurrecting the brain would need an advanced technique that would gradually replace the toxic fluid with fresh blood/Cerebrospinal fluid and the replacement should be 1) total 2) the replacement process should not destroy structure.
Intermediary new kinds of fluids in the process might make the transition easier/safer.
Once your brain is filled with the right amount of blood and of cerebrospinal fluid and has no toxic fluid left in order for the brain to function, a minimal level of hormones / molecules will need to be dispatched in the brain.
Once all of this is achieved remains the problem of interfacing your brain with a new body.
Happily once cryogenized (technically doable today) resolving all the others necessary steps will take time and you will have time.
With not so much money you could be kept vitrified (not frozen) for a millennium or two.
It seems unlikely but still is a possibility that an advanced civilization could not by design uncryogenize you without affecting your structure. But the structure being preserved they could make a copy of you (numeric or not), while this has its lot of metaphysical issues It's still a path far more hopeful than eternal death.
As a reminder our normal life is mostly as metaphysically weird as most of our cells are replaced every 5 years? What's define YOU is totally unclear and continuous
They are quite together if you're building a platform. You usually have C++ doing all the CPU intensive work/low level IO which is exposed through JNI for any higher level stuff (like web).
Looks like you have not worked much on C++. C++ is literally one of the worst languages for undefined behaviour and when something does go bad, the tooling around the language is so horrendous that it takes days to debug something that can be done within hours in Java.
I spent close to a week on data corruption that would have never been possible in Java.
C++ is not for the weak of heart. It's like the wild west. I have since moved to the civilisation of Java and quite happy here.
Repeal of Glass-Steagall act actually allowed the government to somewhat step away. Some of the well capitalised commercial banks were able to absorb the losses of the investment banks by buying them out when the price was low, and then making more money once the panic ended.
That is personal anual income and not family income I suppose. Remember that India has around 30% of people far too young to use cellphones. A family might have one phone and will happily spend $28 per year for the $30GB data per quarter. Also it is mostly prepaid with hundreds of plans to chose from so people chose based on their needs.
Smartphones are extremely important part of India's way of life as almost everything else is regulated to death. It is a ray of light for most poor people and you will find people who might not have a toilet but will own an android smartphone.
By 30 GB do you mean the 1 GB per day (for a month) plan which some carriers provide nowadays? I've seen it cost in the range of Rs. 350 to 500 from some carriers, which sort of matches your numbers about GB and price.
My uncapped 100Mbps link costs me 0.7% of my monthly salary.
The plan you mention, is about 11% of the average salary in India.
Even though it's cheaper in absolute terms, it's still more expensive in relative terms.
I actually saw this mentioned in a recent UX talk by google: the salary differences end up making internet a lot more expensive for the locals in India, Indonesia, etc, to the point where some apps actually show how much they'd use (eg: Youtube shows the size of a video before downloading).
People still micro-manage they available data because of how expensive it feels to them.
The 20-30 Mbps speeds are restricted to some areas. Urban areas such as Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad enjoy great speeds in broadband as well but for the majority of indians, reasonably fast and cheap internet connectivity means Jio. Also, the 20-30 Mbps speeds are not the norm outside certain areas but they have been able to cover a reasonably large part of the entire country.
One carrier (Jio) has a 4G only network throughout the entire country, no 3G or 2G - benefit of coming in to the market late.
Copying this, almost all carriers are in various stages of decommissioning their 3G services and migrating to 4G countrywide. So, even in remote corners of the country, 4G is more widespread now but the speeds are not always 20-30Mbps across the country.
The prices posted by OP seem to be referring to the carrier Reliance Jio. Their network speeds were great initially(20-30mbps when other carriers we're hardly at 5-10mbps). The speeds have deteriorated significantly now. The network seems to be reeling under the load of it's huge user base.
It depends on the area, I have used it in multiple cities and except one location (problem with all networks there) all else was good. There is an option in the jio app to register complaint about slow network, I have had some luck with that.
If you're talking about Flipkart, then it's not really a tech company as much as it is a retail company these days. So it is expected to have more MBAs in important positions, or in places where they can prioritize like an MBA.
No wonder Amazon is kicking their ass, and their last few product launches were nothing short of a disaster.
