Which means it will be up to the general populace to ensure the small guy wins. And Obama as a person doesn't believe that. Now that is the real question here. We as people do not think surveillance is bad. We clap for Batman and worry

See, I get that. He got a lot of money. But still he doesn't owe them anything. What is going to happen to him if he doesn't deliver to people who paid him that much money? Is he going to get assassinated? Is he going to have lega

That is a very absurd argument, one I have heard several times in liberal circles. President of United States of America is the most powerful man in the world. He doesn't owe anyone anything. We elect him thinking he will do what he

Its actually worse. Only this Saturday I searched for a ice cream shop and it directed me 2.5 miles away. So now I am riding the prescribed route when I see a different branch of the same shop in 0.6 miles. Baffled I looked again at the sea

It has become gnome of map applications. It used to open so fast 10 years ago it was surprisingly amazing, now it takes more time to load and crashes my browser randomly. I dread opening google maps now thinking if I will have to reopen all

Funny. In my experience telling something as it is is a very easy way to piss of the client, who in general have huge ego that they are from a superior culture.

It is important to remember that when you outsource something to a cheap labor, the keyword is 'labor' and not 'cheap'. Developers in SV don't understand this, probably because they aren't directly doing the co

I am just pointing out the fact. Unless you are ready to be degraded everywhere in your society called as a beggar, you are not going to get anything for free. I am pointing out the fact that men who don't complain are called grown-up.

"I never wanted my problem to be someone else's by asking for charity or living on someone's couch for free," he said. Brave. Men don't get anything for free anyway.

I am in no way related to this but have you tried https://www.noom.com/ ? It not only helps in counting calories it also gives daily articles and a set of TO-DOs. I was 275 lbs around 2.5 months ago but since then have lost

From a purely survivalist approach slavery is without a doubt a better proposition because it is nigh impossible to break away from poverty. But lack of free and targeted internet is not poverty. Internet is already extremely cheap in India

"Do you mean the birth of a girl child is a trigger to go back?" Yes. "What measure are you referring to?" Rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment.

I am not sure what is intimate partner violence but 40% of victims 'being hit' by their partner are men, and in most cases of 'being hit', women start it - predominantly under the assumption that no one will hit them bac

It is not voluntary when it is the only thing left in the market. We are already living in an age where some places on this planet consider basic internet connection a human rights issues so no, internet is a necessity.

I can only talk about India so here are my 2 cents: 1. Almost all people who are trying to leave India are highly educated. 2. Most of them don't plan to stay outside India for long time. 3. Large percentage of them go back to India wh

The old water ways built by British have turned into dumpyards over which poor people have built bridges of wooden planks and they live their. Mismanagement of resources at its finest.

Anything that doesn't result in equal outcome of greateness is sexism. For example, asking 50% reservation for women in soldiers going to war is sexism because war is not greatness, but preferring women 200% over men in STEM[1] is not
