Perhaps there will be a return to the roots. The new redesign of Bangalore airport is very much in line with an East Asian vision and I hope that carries over into the rest of the city. That being said, I'll still bemoan the loss of th

I'll be honest, Mumbai is still very scenic, and I say that as someone from Kerala. Marine Drive and the Colaba area really have a very Bombay-days vibe even after all the changes in the area. While Sealink does ruin the sea views a bi

Seems like the secret to prosperity is actually nuclear weapons. Rush to get those first, then focus on whatever shit you actually want to do.

Ambitious Keralites move out of the state to set up businesses. The ones who remain usually get rich through a mix of unethical businesses, political party connections and corruption, or the gold and money-lending businesses (which were inh

Bangalore today is a shadow compared to the Garden City it once was. For outsiders not in the know, Bangalore was famous for its beautiful lakes and the lush greenery around them. It was absolutely something else, finding these beautiful wa

The Catholic church once decided which kings and princes could marry which queens and princesses, which alliances would be allowed and which wouldn't. Now it's nothing but a shadow of its former self.

Well 750 a day times 365 comes out to 275k, which is still lower than a couple of Bay Area devs' salaries. That being said, I've found AI to be quite powerful given that I already know what infra I'm planning to use and restr

Exactly. It's like saying healthcare is big business in America when it's because it's unnecessarily bloated and super inefficient only due to America's own idiosyncratic quirks and regulatory capture. Like there are cou

The user curates their profiles?

by fakedang 2y ago
I think you got it wrong. There isn't a feed that people can see when they log in. There's just profile pages, like walls on Facebook. Someone can see your content if they go to your wall, but they won't be fed your content.

I previously cofounded a miltech startup in the US (as a foreigner), and have currently funded a European-based one (again as a foreigner). Nothing big, although we were able to exit the first one at a good-enough situation via an IP sale (

Are we forgetting the original one, Ronald Reagan? Guy was a literal middling actor, whose only claim to fame was snitching on Communist sympathizers in Hollywood when it was cool.

Well if you wish for California to become the next Sahelian desert, sure. California is already on track to become one adverse climate event away from turning into a complete clusterfuck.

It gets better. Grown in California for export to China and Saudi Arabia, where they're used for cattle feed. Also fun fact, a lot of farm managers in Saudi Arabia are either Scottish or Australian.

You're comparing whole oranges with orange slices. When comparing vegan food with animal protein, bother to take into account the entire package rather than one part. Animals are actually a much more energy intensive source of nutritio

Seems like there's been a recent exodus of YC partners all looking to pursue their own interests. I wonder if partner coverage in YC will be consistent as before, given that the ones who left are heavyweights: - Michael Seibel leaving

You don't need VC level skills, just a healthy dose of common sense pragmatism, something which SF leadership has consistently lacked for decades now.

It's more likely now for a European Federation to happen than another Franco-German war. Euroscepticism is on the backfoot now, thanks to Trump's America.

Is there a difference anyways between Russian and Muscovite? After all, Muscovites imposed their culture forcefully all over Russia as much as they could.

The game Tom Clancy's End War is basically about a quadripolar world (you play as Russia, USA or Europe), where Russia hacks the EU WMD network and uses it to attack an American space-based weapon, using that as a false flag operation

There was a time Paradox was releasing almost 2 paid DLCs and even a couple of unpaid ones every year. Particularly in the case of EU4, where some DLCs ended up overriding the content of previous, even paid ones, to the point that they have

Cursor already does the latter task pretty well, as I'm sure other AI agents already do. AI struggles only when it's something complex, like dealing with a geometric object, or plugging together infra, or programme logic. Last yea
