My dad worked at ISRO for 30+ years and is now retired - so what I'm saying has some merit. I don't know where you are getting the impression that ISRO engineers aren't paid well. Sure, they are not paid Google salaries but t

I think he hedged that risk by asking 'what are the top three things that you'd fix in the app' or something like that. Don't remember the exact words.

Love the morphed school bus. I'd just take this idea to the next level and design a nice Volvo/Scania bus into a mobile living space. Would cost a hell lot more but this design is way way way better than any of the custom Scania&#

Guess I can potentially use this as a module in a tornado/Django web application for scheduling email, without having the user to sign in to gmail explicitly or opening up a separate pop-up/browser window.

Considering that the average trash stays for at least 10-12 hours inside the house/apartment, it's inefficient to segregate once the waste is in this mixed state for that duration. At least the organic/inorganic waste has to

The real issue is that Google/Android are out competing Apple in features, price and 'freedom' - Samsung won't even let me uninstall and get rid of their proprietary crap. So no, there's no freedom in the Samsung w

Speaking from personal experience, it's easier to pick up the traits of customer development/leadership/design with an engineering background. On the contrary, I've seen some of the smartest non engineer MBAs give up on

It's quite possible to run a meaningful startup doing 9-5 hours, without burning yourself doing 80 hour work weeks. Sure, it won't be a billion or a million $ company but it'll be a successful business.

To add to the barbell exercise theory, I've found Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength to be a great mathematical based source of strength training, focusing on full body barbell exercises.

This could be a very effective means for developing a new problem solving app. For example: You are having some Javascript template errors. Just load your template and check for all potential solutions on SO and pump out the corrected templ

Man, this reminds me of a relatively unknown movie 'pushpak' - a silent Indian movie. The lead actor's house would be next to a movie theater but he will be forced to move out. He moves to a quieter place but can't sleep in the quiet zone.

My chromebook doesn't suffer from the WIFI issues reported in this article. One key issue with the crosh from a developer perspective is the lack of a copy and paste option. You can't copy content from another chrome window into the crosh t

on chromebook - crosh is sufficient. on mobile devices (I hope you mean tablets) iSSh and other terminal clients should suffice. I'm not downplaying this requirement but just wondering to what level will this get simplified :).

Call me a cynic but why would I need this ? A linode/ec2/azure linux vm and a Terminal is all that I need to do web development these days. Setting up a web server is such a breeze already. Is there a need to simplify it further ? just aski

Hey thanks for the Monsanto information. I was unaware of these updates. Regarding the Macbook analogy, agreed, but why would patent law hold true here ? Just trying to understand. A Macbook doesn't replicate by itself.

Monsanto uses the terminator gene technology to stop the seed replication beyond first generation. So why would they fight to patent a seed. If they want farmers not to use the seed beyond the first generation, they've already done it. What

I don't understand what's really wrong in diverting 55,000 visas from a random, unplanned allocation scheme (diversity) to a more metrics driven allocation scheme (education). How is this not 'true reform'?
