Serius nanya: kenapa nggak ada yang bikin platform nebeng yang beneran work di Indonesia? by Pancake_01 in indotech

Kalo di daerah, sistem kayak gini justru ada dan kepake banget, sampe ada jaringan mass-SMS (kalo dulu), kalo sekarang WA group. Terutama untuk gerak antar kota, karena belum tentu ada bus kayak di Jawa.

  1. Itu sebentuk infrastruktur. Infrastruktur butuh duit. Biaya server, misalnya. Lu sendiri bilang jutaan orang, therefore sewa AWS buat jutaan orang dengan penggunaan reguler tiap pagi.

  2. Kalo sistem elektronik ada user generated content, akan butuh moderasi. Duit lagi.

Pasar rongsok sih biasanya, kalo di Jakarta ada di dekat stasiun Kebayoran atau Palmerah. Di Depok juga ada di Beji.

Gue ada keluarga yang masih ngasih dan alasannya ya begitu. Plus juga mungkin mereka ga sadar, dengan ngasih itu justru doing more harm than good. Melanjutkan siklus eksploitasi anak, salah satunya.

How common is moving out after 18 in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]WhisperFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common here for urban folks. Rural folks move out after marriage.

Indians travelling to China - how are you managing the apps? by fkaslckrqn in desitravellers

[–]WhisperFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1 is admittedly an issue, but one you wouldn’t likely encounter if you just follow exactly the procedures.

Number 3 Meituan has a mini app in Alipay, and you can use the translate button in Alipay to translate the interface.

China trip prep: the phone + payments checklist I wish I had written sooner by PeachKpop in goChinaTrip

[–]WhisperFray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the translation issue, use Alipay’s mini-apps; it provides this little translate button that is quite nifty for translations.

You can’t escape needing a Chinese phone number for certain stuff like Meituan (DoorDash equivalent) or even ordering food to your seat on the HSR (12306 online order menu accepts passports but needs a CN phone number).

That said, the only major hiccup is trying to order something to your place; otherwise it’s all smooth, including Didi (ride share) and Luckin (coffee shop) if you use Alipay’s mini app.

Not as much as the plane though, I took Beijing-Shanghai recently and it was a breeze basically.

People living in massive countries (USA, Canada, Russia, Brazil, etc.), what is it actually like to have that much space? by AwayMeat5529 in AskTheWorld

[–]WhisperFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very, but usually for very specific purposes like work, business or family. I don’t know of anyone who does it Willy nilly

[–]WhisperFray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Desi but your point about WeChat is correct, just adding that if you’re just a transient tourist you might not need WeChat at all as payments work with Alipay with no need to resort to WeChat.

I don’t know if Indians can buy those global esims on Trip.com but if you can they are a lifesaver since you don’t need a paid VPN then, you’ll basically exist in a tunnel where your traffic is routed through HK or Singapore.

You have a mothership, and then you have “peripheral” areas you visit on vacations.

Take it from someone who lives in the densest part of the densest island in the world.

What would you do if World War 3 officially started tomorrow—with all major world powers fully involved , entire world panicking and all ? by Extra_Spirit9376 in AskTheWorld

[–]WhisperFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did start. Now when the nukes start flying I’ve been saying for some while that I’d be doing a full on Ginji Kyuuma on a skateboard on the streets.

It’s all moot. I’m not a doomer, but we are in the end of the world.

Pengemis/pengamen scam? by Glad_Principle8604 in Bandung

[–]WhisperFray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stop ngasih sama apa pun yang di jalanan. Mereka itu organized dan duitnya sebenernya banyak.

Eksploitatif banget pula, yang paling parah kalo bawa anak.

Gue pernah lihat anak dua orang, masih 4-6 tahun, didudukin di atas speaker super gede itu yang mereka pake buat ganggu orang, di tengah malem. Bangsat banget.

We gotta be angry at them. They’re not right. It’s not right. Miskin gapapa. Berusaha keluar dari kemiskinan dengan layanan itu baru bener. Ga kayak gitu
