> not as individualistic as the West is Why is America representative of the west? It's a sample point. I have many European colleagues who have similar values as Indians. Collective mentality is prevalent in many western societies

>For eg, to get into IIM or IIT (equivalents of Harvard or MIT in US), you need more then just knowledge to get selected amongst hundreds of thousands. This is untrue. They all have competitive examinations that are open to anyone. There

Last time I said this I was down voted. This kinda transparency needs to be there for citizens and residents too who don't have to go through LCA process.

This confuses the hell out of me as an Indian living in America. Mostly it's me wondering if I am included in the stereotype or not. Otherwise I don't really care.

There is a privacy issue in government releasing the H1B salary data publicly. If you are a H1b worker working at a small startup, your privacy is pretty much violated. In the interest of long term, I think it is vital that salary informati

I am from India and one of the major broadband providers is BSNL. It used to be core part of the government (Department of Telecom) but was made a corporate in 2000 (but still owned by Govt. of India which is confusing). Anyways, BSNL is th

Recently, I was researching about moving back to India and continue working for my employer from there and get paid in USD. In theory, this should be possible. My employers might agree to this (they do it to other colleagues of mine in diff

Personally, I never had a problem with my salary because I am good at what I do and I project my skills honestly. Salary negotiations involve negotiation skills that a lot of fellow immigrants don't have or don't care about. But w

From the other side, I see a lot of over paid "local" workers that spend a lot of time talking and doing no work. Why don't you take your honesty to your bosses and tell them that they are abusing the H1B system to save money

As much as I hate it, I think in the case of India, preventing religious conflicts is best compared to defending free speech. The amount of police force needed to protect people who in the name of free speech offend religious sentiments and

I just want to remind everyone that India is already a democracy and has been like that ever since her Independence from British colonialism. In general, I can understand the speculation that US is pushing money to India to balance China. U

As someone who worked on writing protocol specs as code for simulation purposes, I can see how much fun this is. A pure python network simulator (ns2 is C++ and painfully hard to debug) would actually be nice and encourage a lot of theoreti

I would not "require" people to know Markov chains but I am usually surprised how many programmers have no idea what it is and how it works and how it can be used. It is a very powerful tool to model queues which is something most

Please tell me where you work so I don't apply. It's just that every time I think about Tannenbaum I'll remember your posts. For me, that's not good.

IPA is a fantastic idea. Some questions: 1) I am actually curious how IPA is deployed to the ramdisks. Any pointers? 2) The turn around time for provisioning is now dependent on download speed etc. When provisioning batches this could be a

I think you have most of it right. The rollups are not configurable currently. However, we did give some thought into those pre-configured rollup granularities. The query today is very simple. You can query data points for a metric you know
