No idea to be honest. But my own (slow) reading speed probably gave me a bias.

Also, I advertise that site any chance I get, and judging by your reaction I may have overstepped, so I apologize.

Hopefully someone else seeing it will gain something useful from it, still.

daredevil_kohai · 3 years ago
Yes it was useful for me. Thank you both.

I worked on something like this long time ago. It was not related to automotive but mobile industry. At that time it was difficult to get any such information. I don't know whether things have changed now, but I will give you my approach to understanding the low-level android stack. I approached it from bottom-up level rather than top-down. I looked at the hardware driver(I was working on enabling graphics stack for the devices, so I started digging into the graphics driver and its related userland libraries). Then I looked at the HAL layer that was related to the graphics stack. Then went through the skia library and the surface flinger, then the corresponding JNI calls. Most of the time you don't have to touch the JNI part of the stack.

For JNI please refer the documentation on Oracle's website.

For everything below that, the best approach is to just dive into the AOSP code(https://source.android.com). There is lots of documentation there as well. But the source code still gives you a lot better insight into the workings of the system and what the top layer expects from the bottom layer. As they say, "Read the source Luke!" :)

Thank you very much for the insights and for explaining the approach you had!!

This is one of the best feature sets, and I waited for over two years; ever since WhatsApp had got it. I find that stance of the community strange here - no "e2ee". Privacy is important, but your chat history hardly reflects that. There are other ways to get your history or track your digital trails.

200,000 users for group chat. Unlimited users for voice chat (like clubhouse). 30 users for group video calling. That limit will be increased later. Flawless sync across platforms. Secret chats - the e2ee chats self-destruct between users and stay on the device where it has been initiated. Robust third party clients-that add more functionality to the official app. (I use Utyagram; Plus is another popular mod, but is closed source). Unlimited users for channels - that work as broadcast lists. The lists goes on and on.

daredevil_kohai · 5 years ago
If my understanding is correct. VC users at a time in a room in clubhouse is limited.

That's how it all starts. And how will they know what ads to show you? By mining your conversations.
daredevil_kohai · 5 years ago
No. He confirmed that the ads will be generic. Not targeted to people based on their data.

Other than high literacy (which means able to sign your own name), I don't understand why Kerala is considered as good exmaple?

1. Due to communist style of functioning, setting up a business is near impossibility. I know friends who moved their business out of state since its marred with strikes.

2. It is fast becoming Islamic state of India.

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/nia-conducts-raid-in-t...

3. Infrastructure seems to be dated (single lane road for most part of state) and floods wreak havoc every year.

Tagged as "God's own country" I expect much better from Kerala. However, I always find cliched "most educated" state remarks and self-pat on back without perusing its problems and what is happening to state.

daredevil_kohai · 6 years ago
Yeah. See what you want to see and whine. Kerala has it's own problems but none of them isn't something alienated to all other states in India. But there are many things that can be called good attributes of this state that makes it an anomaly among all other states in India.

> In my limited trials with Wire and Signal, Telegram just blows them out of the water in features, reliability and speed.

When you say features, which ones do you mean? Do you mean the user interface?

daredevil_kohai · 8 years ago
In my case, these are some of them: 1.Many utility bots(including those admin bots to manage large groups if you have groups). Some examples of these bots are @gif @imdb @bing etc to instantly share gifs, movie ratings and images respectively. 2.No sharing of phone numbers with unknown people. Username handles will help to connect with anyone. Can chat with any of the members in the group (among 100000 people) without fearing lose of your number unless you chose to share. 3.Can download movies, songs, and videos from different channels and groups where they are shared. There are bots which can aggregate the search results from many channels to get them at one place. 4.I get those hackernews posts which gets more than 100 points in a channel. 5.Feed reader bots which get me feeds from my favourite websites. 6.Unlimited cloud storage. You could save movies,songs, pdfs,apps or anything you want there unless they don't exceed 1.5gb size per file. 7.Global search among the chats you have including groups, bots, channels and personal chats. 8. There are many niche groups or channels. Like programming, web development, crypto, reddit, regional, and not to mention porn too.

It's really good to see when someone say something like "told me in telegram chat". Looks like telegram is getting acceptance in spite of all those blames it is getting
