This is radical. We will end up all blind this way. Because it will be impossible to determine the threshold scenario when to pull the trigger .

Commenter is right. It's almost foolish to find this heartbreaking. It could be anger, disgust (though it's not necessary they are always mutually exclusive) but it can certainly not be heartbreaking. Not in this case. It wasn't like Zyanga

This is true mostly for the (very) long distance trains. For local (not Mumbai local or elk) or maybe between two cities or so, the trains are quite late. Especially in North India, the part of the country I hail from. It also has to do wit

I am sure "being delayed" had a lot to do with the fond memories :-) When I was a kid and used to go on vacation with family, the late train was so good for me. It meant few extra vacation hours before schools and homework would start. I ho

Yes. It will be a logical choice. One doesn't have to spend minimum ~$700 to play the game. Tools and API are freely and easily available. Language, Java, is sth that students usually learn in initial years (No, I am not saying it's the bes

Choosing Bitbucket wasn't tough. I needed a private repo for the little sth (hobbyist) I was doing. Bitbucket gave it for free and there wasn't anything I missed from Github. Oh, I forgot - I had started that in Mercurial, (/beginner/experi

Though it's not connected to the comment you commented upon but I recently tried buying some music at one of my country's leading online stores (Flipkart) and the MP3s (no choice of other formats) were of poor quality and without any ID3 ta

Yes, that's right. It's pointless to release an app in some country where it won't work or won't have much value.

If you meant Google a/c attached to an Android device then I would like to differ. I created an account in Korea and used it extensively in India and it also worked well in USA. And yes, on all the three places more than one device was used

When it comes to text or not to text with friends then some (most of the) times it's ignored by techies also. Most of the times they do not have a choice just like their "non-techie" counterparts. There's another crucial thing that is missi

in favor of the lesser of the two evils It can be (and is) extremely dangerous at times. Leave the billion dollar aside for some time. It can kill an innocent and set a culprit free, if that's the valid rationale of yours.

News is, by definition, about current events. Case studies are about past events. You are logically incorrect. Well, by your own logic. How can you publish news about a current event? To be written as news it has to be happened in the

You mention the use of Tor and TrueCrypt. But, how effective is a lock against the thief who is already in the house? Besides, in my part of the world Internet speed is not like that of US (which I have not experienced) or of S Korea (which

No, I do not find the article bad. It's a good one or maybe above that. And it's not even Brajeshwar's fault(submitter) to bring it on top, I am sure upvoters did that. However, your comment is very stupid for a 'many submissions', '2017

How do you manage to achieve that - instantly stand out on the streets of Bangalore as distinctly "NRI" ? Is it the clothes? Or something else? Please elaborate. Becasue I met a nice person in Costa Coffee a few days back and after chattin

I am not sure it is TechCrunch worthy. It is very much TC worthy. TC is no holy land. They themselves have used the medium to wash their dirty laundry in public, more than once.

Is HN that important for you to follow up religiously? For many it's not. For many it might be. It differs from people to people like almost everything else.
