In India, you can get the complete nation's vehicle data along with personal information of the owners. They say, data is the new oil, so exploit it! https://inc42.com/buzz/indian-govt-is-selling-vehicle-owner-...

Wouldn't the profiles feature be good enough to isolate the two identities?

Thanks for clarifying! I should give Firefox a try again, when I tried last time it wasn't good enough. Chrome's devtools had many features of timing and performance which were absent or not good enough last time I tried.

Yes, Firefox is good for browsing but as a developer who has to work on the frontend, the ecosystem isn't there in Firefox. Many of the framework debugging tools for React, Redux, etc. don't work well in Firefox.

Slightly off topic: Does anyone else have the problem of constantly being logged out of your Google accounts on Brave. I keep getting logged out even without closing the browser. I have tweeted to them but haven't been able to get a re

I mentioned the facts and your observations about my personal opinions are incorrect. I want EVs too but the price conscious Indian market won't buy them at current prices/performance. 1. Even the top courts in India have question

Ofcourse I don't; as I am not a climate scientist who is doing research on it. I am from India and am giving a reality check. As for how switch to electric cars, I have answered @ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20

When did I say that? Replacing new and working oil cars with new electric cars in a short timeline is a poor decision which is far off from reality.

A car without a 100 mile range is toy, you are welcome to have your own opinion. Range anxiety is real for a car buyer.

And the car size, range and pricing competitive? A VC handing out money to a startup will not usher electric taxis. People will need to start buying them because they are better, cheaper and more powerful.

Indian cars/manufacturing/importing has different economics and pollution impacts. You are free do your own research and make up your mind. I am not against electric cars, I want them. I am against the idea to replace cars which h

Ola/Uber cars are mostly new taken on loan in India. China has shown the way to do the transfer. Super high taxes for registration of a petrol/diesel car and free registration for an electric one. Build cars at home and subsidise

Electric cars produce more CO2 during manufacturing. Indian taxis/cars on Indian roads do worse. India's electric market is 60% coal. "If you want good return-on-investment, taxis are the first vehicles we should be regulatin

Semi-rural India should not suffer too! Please lookup charts of air pollution in the world, there are multiple smaller cities of India which are manufacturing hubs and on the list. There is nothing called controlled pollution. And even if t

I cannot recall a source as I read it at multiple places and the math made sense. This was the first link that showed up when I googled just now. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/green-living-blog/20...

* Uber/Ola do not own cars, and the owners take out loans to get one. Electric cars can be expensive to be financed for that income group. Uber's endgame is to own self-driving cars and not a normal car, atleast that was the dream

I hear it as ending with yeah! As no one says no to them. :P Although I live in that area and don't drink tea.
