I wish I could downvote you. Not for, because you are wrong, but because one can make any reasonable sounding claim about future and get away with it. Oil prices have been especially kept artificially high by Oil Producing countries. And th

The problems of entrance exams are obvious, but you are not being fair - when you say, why did I had to mug organic formulae? Isn't that kinda, how everywhere? If all I want is to do - MS in CS from some top US university, why do I have to

PyPy had head start of almost 4 years. I remember when Rubinius was started, people talked about how self-hosting dynamic language environments have been a failure and they sited PyPy as an example after Millions in funding from European Un

Aha, I did not see that. Thanks for pointing out. I liked and appreciate MenTaLguY's commentary anyways.

Have an upvote sir. I really don't understand, what an article like this is doing on the front page of hacker news.

I am surprised no one is talking about "hukou" system? Heck, I didn't know that! In India obviously we do not have anything like that, but there is a hint of resentment towards outside people who throng cities for jobs. North Indians were b

Because it is political. Besides I find nothing strange about a slum next to a 5 star hotel, but I am an Indian. :)

There isn't any ethnic component to it, I can tell you that. Wealth is obviously a factor, but it isn't exclusive.

I disagree. Running EC2 isn't rocket science. With web console, they have made it more simple. What is little hard is, auto load balancing, shutting down instances based on req/minute, monitoring and stuff. But you don't play with that, if

Duh, You are right; if someone wants to hire lots of cheap Indian labour for $10 an hour, you will get bad programmers. I think, at that rate you will get bad programmers anywhere in the world. I am building ( http://solaro.com ) and we jus

I am on the fence with this one. While I do agree that, Indian startup community has its own challenges and latest gossip from Angel world of Silicon Valley is of little interest to us (None of the Angels operating out of valley invest here

Have a upvote. More so, even if the team is assembled, VC is still investing just on idea. Scary thing if I were a VC. The ability of founders to stick together is thrown out of water. I may be wrong, but just an idea(no matter how good) ca

Pythonists will turn up their nose when they will see Zed walking down the same street. He won't be invited to dinner. People will hide their babies when he shows up. This is just the beginning.
