That’s a great write up. Thanks Did you think of setting up the same in Gujarat since you had to runaround so much in Sangli?

This is something that’s hard for someone like me to know (living outside India and no experience in setting up a business in India) Does it make a difference if same party is in power in center and state? The general consensus I see is tha

That’s just the first of the what if’s I ask. Next would be, are they up for removal of all subsidies / free programs (e.g., SNAP / food stamps)? How can health care costs be addressed with fixed UBI? I can see UBI succeeding or a

If UBI is the way, do you agree or disagree that there should be no minimum wage? Decide minimum wage, then give UBI to adults based on that. If $15 per hr is minimum wage, UBI should be $2600 per month. Once someone is getting this UBI, it

My hunch: Trump hates universities. So he’ll do anything to ensure universities are on life support. This is a great way for him to bring the uncertainties to follow his orders.

Need to go off on a tangent to reply. Canada is showering it's unemployed citizens with something similar to $2000 per month unemployment benefits. That's $12.5 per hr for not working, while (minimum wage in Ontario) is $14 per hr

I agree with you about convenience of ordering. This was often the case when I was in the US. But in canada it's nice that all stores I frequent accept credit cards, and all of them work with apple pay, so no fumbling with cash. Probab

Love their mission. But I think Slice is more for helping non-chain pizza shops compete with Dominos/Pizza-Hut/Papa-johns. also $1.95 doesn't include the costs of delivery (delivery is handled by pizza shops' existing de

The cost for Uber is to process the cc transaction, cost of transportation (the close to minimum wage "net pay" to the driver). I agree Uber has other costs, and I'm not saying it should act like a charity and not recover tho

I refuse to use any of these delivery apps, which are kind of useless already. Here in Toronto area, most of the big food outlets are closed, because they are not able to get workers. The ones that are open, are these mom&pop restaurant

I don't like the smell when butter is turned into ghee. But I love ghee. In fact, after a short stint on a Keto diet, looking at the results, I now understand why ghee is essential in every meal! It makes you consume less carbs. Becaus

which one specifically?

by calvinbhai 6y ago
4/4S/5 and the old SE are still my favourite designs / form factors (saying this despite owning 6/7/11Pro). I hope 12 will do away with rounded edges (similar to the latest iPad Pro).

what's the point of wanting this feature when it is not going to be a focus for many apps since this feature is not available in newer phones?

by calvinbhai 6y ago
I think this is excellent timing. Those due for upgrading their phones while being wary of the current state of the economy and their own cash flow situation, can just going for this phone, and not bother about upgrading for an another 3-4

Well, Russia and Saudi Arabia have agreed to cut oil production. OPEC+ may follow soon. Hence the markets going super green. Most the bottom hunters are only following the Covid news. Oil prices are adding to the stock market swings big tim

Trying to wrap my head around this. Is this different from Convertible Debt? Also, why raise at 10% interest when interest rates are so low?

This is much worse an issue if you live in a super new apartment in the suburbs. UPS/FedEx drivers know location very well. Amazon delivery ends up in a totally different location, marking it as delivered. I dont know how Amazon makes

I know a few who are on a part time basis (working 3 or 4 days a week) because employer cut the number of working days for the whole company. Any idea if this affects the validity of H1b because they are not working 40 hrs a week?

I wish I had known this. I had a few months of advanced notice, and I had no idea that commuter benefits just go poof on the last day of employment. Lost about a $1k in that. And additional point I'd add to this list, especially for th

TBH, right now any death reported in the news is equated as a result of COVID19. At least I equate it so. Hence, it is a clickbait from my POV.

For me, the critical pieces of info everyone should consider are these: 1) Washing hands often, significantly reduces chances of getting infected (because virus has a fat membrane that breaks when in contact with soap) 2) If you are under 6

surprising that such a long writeup about the wework debacle doesn't mention Masayoshi Son holding founders at ransom to take his Softbank money. Why would anyone refuse such money? Not sure what's Rebekah got to do with the WeWor

If the report is to be believed, why do these developers think so high and mighty about themselves? If they are so concerned, team up, pool money and buy enough MS stocks (like an activist investor) and direct Microsoft's actions. Unti
