Whats wrong with just helping Linux ? I always find it funny when people try to create "proprietary" stuff in 2015 - its like people learnt nothing from windows. I remember reading about how investment bankers tried to create thei

As A Bangladeshi - Jackfruits are awesome ! I believe everyone should try eating it once in life. I find the notion that jackfruits are "poor man's food" to be weird. When did fruits have a caste system ? Anyway I am glad tha

When I was young I remember the world used to be beholden to the demand of the american consumer. What they wanted drove the export of entire economical regions in Asia. Now it seems the giant in the room that everyone needs to accommodate

Yeah, Bloomberg View has no idea how real people in real world live and work. I remember reading an article a few weeks ago with the premises that income - equality is okay because we have these superman productive individuals. They also lo

That is exactly my point ! Its a self-selection bias rather than anything. If a student is smart enough - he shouldn't be forced to shell out 5-6 years worth of his expected earning upfront to maybe add an exponential expected future p

I completely understand what you mean - As Neil Degrass Tyson said - you cannot put a price on ignorance. But the argument I am making is the same argument that people make about healthcare cost. For example its hard to put a price on life

Thanks for that ! Really makes me feel much better knowing the best of us feels the same way. I am someone who learns by doing and it would have been better to just enter the job market.

My net worth is not important - but it means soon I wont have money to buy food or pay rent. I could have paid my rent and food for 20+ years on each year of my tuition. I eat canned tuna for 3 years - and went homeless for a few months whi

I beg to differ. What is the expected salary of a MIT engineer ? Last time I checked it was 72,000 dollars per year. What is the typical tuition in MIT ? I do not remember the exact number but it would take a while before students are able

Its a thought - I am sure many other students who were taking actual loans would have much more terrible thoughts. Yes, I realize it was a mistake. When I was 18 I was fed the same garbage about going to university as everyone else and took

University is a scam. I feel so bitter. I just graduated 1 month ago. I could have continued with my masters by I am done. I hated every second of being in university. Not because of any other reason but because of how bleak my financial pr

Its also got to do with culture. Americans have a deep love for car culture - and look at public transportation as social welfare [1]. American capitalism is also responsible for america having the most profitable multinationals in the worl

Wait. How can you trivially conclude that its would be easy to provide the same speed as Blomberg terminal ? If I am not mistaken even shaving off fractions in terms of time has a lot of value. And maybe you need 25 million lines of FORTRAN

I can tell you are not a millennial student or else you wont have that view. We are made to buy extremely expensive books and waste time reading crap books all the time. The best books in my field were written randomly over the last 300 yea

Funny that you mention that. A lot of economist and policy makers in asia when america decided to invade Afghanistan and Iraq pointed out this would eventually happen. It would be destabilizing to the Asian/Eurasian continent. A stable

I agree with you. But you are not giving India enough credit. India has a corruption problem - and so does the americans, british, europeans, etc . Hell The LIBOR scandal is on 900 trillion dollars. And this is before I bring up 2008. Priva

I agree. As a bangladeshi I have watched privatization and IMF destroy my own country. Its rich that someone who took a vacation in India somehow figured out all its problems and knows all its solutions. Strong labour laws in India prevente

Crocodile tears are being shed. Britain has been enriching itself using outright aggression prior to WW2, and since then using its influence in the global monetary system. Mexico, Bangladesh and india has been for years trying to pursuade t

I wonder how much money is involved in writing articles saying the tech industry is in a bubble - maybe they are also in a bubble ? Anyway I have stopped thinking about tech from my very own bubble. In the real world there is more money in

As a engineer I do not have time to get into this new VM/container thing. I fail to see how it leads to anything productive ( no offence ). Call me a simpleton but I am happy with better package management and config systems.

It tells me two things : 1) there a lot of people out there who use the internet and NOT read or tune into TV or any internet news. 2) RIP my future career in computer security. It seems users do not care about security as much as I though.

Hopefully not anymore. The uniqueness of my left-handedness turns out to be great as an adult as its something sometimes people use as a conversation starter. The other advantage of left-handness is that I learnt that people who were left-h

It was in an english school in dubai. It was seen as not similar to other kids, since everyone else I knew were right-handed. I am not sure what the reasoning was to them - I never asked my parents about it anyway -

It must be really stressful being a kid these days :( Now that I look back - the way we treat kids is just plain awful. When I was a kid I used to write using my left hand and my teacher and parents used to scold me to try and change my hab
