It's funny that a trillion dollar company which which was originally built by Steve to be the front-runner of tech and innovation and was supposed to provide the best user experience to end users is actually turning out to be the most annoying or frustrating one in deliver what user ACTUALLY needs.

My entire family has befriended crows. I live on the 3rd floor. When the crow comes in, we feed them with hands directly. He takes the food right from our hand and eats it slowly. This worked out simply because we started feeding them daily. Initially they used to just run away but we kept giving food and slowly they started trusting us.

I feel lucky that in India we have an app to track the live location of all the buses. I almost use it daily and plan my day accordingly.

Status changes to "Away" when you've gone for few minutes is the most shitty feature. Another set of issues I have found are, - Crashes randomly - Updates are not synced, sometimes it takes couple of mins to see the messages that were sent from the mobile phone.

Well, I am preparing for IELTS and last weekend I was looking for an API to build a dictionary web app with a great UX, UI and accessibility. Thanks. I'll definitely try this one.

Looking at this I am really amazed that in India we still have better public transport. There are trains connecting every small rural area and in the cities on can reach to a destination at a cheap price under a very less amount of time.

The bus connectivity is also very amazing and you can easily reach a place very far by bus or a train.

Also, there's an app for everything in India. These apps indicate the actual locations of the bus on map via GPS and also sends out an ETA. I plan before leaving office so I can get the exact bus.

Same goes with train, we get minute by minute update.

If only we could say the same about the quality of road surfaces and traffic.

Way too much corruption to afford us good roads at a good price. National state roadway construction entities run at huge 'losses' and 'debt' with the money presumably siphoned away for the benefit of the party in power.

Why the quotes? Roads are expensive to maintain, what makes you think the money must inherently be misspent?

Probably because they are not, despite the money disbursed, maintained.

That in and of itself is not a signifier of mismanaged funds.

Without knowing what much they should cost, there’s no way to know what the roads should look like.

Americas sprawling land use is extremely expensive to maintain.

I took the topic to be roads in India.

The quality of the roads, the rapidity with which they degrade, the timing of the repairs, the allocation of contracts. Corruption is like air when it comes to road construction in India.

Ah I didn’t realize you were talking about India, my mistake.

No worries. I could have been more explicit too.

That's not entirely true. America has forever been a bully. It's more like a crybaby. CAATSA act states that if you don't like anything of country X sanction them and force others to do the same. This makes every other country as a puppet of America.

This should be available as an autocorrect on Slack and Terms. :p
