Have you built a successful growing software firm? Does your software systems scale to Millions? What about counterfactuals? Without that data, your 3-decade hiring process means nothing. I'm sure someone working in IBM, TCS, AT&T,

Yet. One thing media consistently gets wrong is the rate of innovation that is happening. Media also doesn't have access to state-of-the-art models, only from the trigger-happy startups too eager to release half-baked version. It'

A lot of things have worked out for thousands of years. If you can use a computer, you can use a smartphone. It's just a form factor. The amount of mental gymnastics some people go through to justify their irrational decisions is alway

This is the dumbest take on Climate Change and I can't believe the HN crowd falls for it. Thought Experiment: Say, Bill Gates (and other VIPs) is respected enough that he can convert 5 Skeptics out a 100 Climate Deniers. So, In order f

You mean people breaking the law were arrested and the crime rate of US was rapidly declining? Sure, we can't have that, right? What we want is smash-and-grab, locked-down-shops, rampant crime. But hey most of the HNers are sitting at

It is not. We have a great judicial system and technology has always favored innocent to prove their innocence rather than it's absence. More Technology => More Evidence => More chance of acquittal of the innocent. Technology als

At the end of the day, the definition of Recession doesn't matter. There are ZERO changes or decision anyone can make (including policy) based on whoever's definition of recession is. It's really weird that humans come up wit

Newsflash: There are unknown, unknowns. The vast majority of the population, they don't even know there are solutions that would change their life. E.g: In a world of 8,000,000,000 how many people know that there is Coursera which has

Naive understanding of the world / information. Say, In a world of 1,000,000,000+ great products, reaching consumers through word-of-mouth is hard. I bet there are products that solves a lot of your current problems at a decent price.
