Its not India's great failure. It is India's great achievement. We need to move people rapidly from rural area to urban cities and India is doing an awesome job at it.

Can you explain in a bit layman terms what exactly has been done here ? What I understood is that there is a single NN trained for multiple tasks - but what is the benefit ?

There have been a flurry of alarmists posts like these but somehow I cant wrap my head around how will we run out of water. I stay in Bangalore and some people do have the problem of water - but for the most part it doesnt seem to be an iss

The fundamental premise of the framework is that PMF is a discrete event and the journey of a company can be thought of as pre PMF and post PMF. The reality is that most founders will be unable to articulate when and if PMF has been achieve

There is no such thing as a Product-Market Fit. The article is at best marginally useful in thinking about your startup and at worst will take you on a tangent of intellectual mastrubation which can be a completely misguide you on how to th

I havent actually. But I drive a car with a gear(stick) and whenever I drive a car without one it feels that I can use the hand to hold some coffee or get some texting done. I do get your point regarding cognitive fatigue though but I think

Beats me why hasnt Tesla auto pilot been shut down already. If the car is on Autopilot then people will get used to it and use that time to check on mail, call a friend or simply doze off. Some of these guys will end up getting killed and &

3.) Solo founders might slap on an unemployed friend with marginal utility to overcome the bias of investors not funding solo entrepreneurs. 4.) Solo founders might hire an 'employee' and give him the label of a 'co-founder&#

Looks pretty cool. I didnt know what CBT did but reading through your app helped me understand. Maybe start with a quick explanation of how CBT works and then explain how hte app helps you along. Seems to me that this trick could help in be

Indian cities are a mess for a very different reason - they dont have elected city governments - you might ask why but the answer is too detailed to give here.

Its Indian version of tabloid news. AFAIK some local enforcement agency passed a rule banning PUBG near to school exams.

'Thums Up' is the best soda ever for me - very distinct nutty taste. And a dry lingering after effect.

I think most of the research like these are pretty much useless. This is because they assume that the success of a startup has correlation with the founders/co-founders - there well might be, but imo the biggest correlation with succes

1. First figure out plan B - what happens if you are not able to raise funding in the next 6 months. 2. Assume a position of power - you will make this company big even without funding because plan B is in place. 3. Talk to investors from t

I dont really need the study. I stay here and experience this on a daily basis. There is nothing in the study which contradicts what I said. People do visit private hospitals if public hospitals dont meet their needs and such visits can def

Interesting comments here but imo India already has a pretty fantastic healthcare system. People who argue against spend some time understanding the US healthcare system and the disaster it is. India already has health insurance by private

I think maybe the problem is that energy is broadly a solved problem as far as US is concerned. You guys have enough energy that you need and the means to pay for it. The world might move to solar/wind but it doesnt really matter to th

Doesnt really matter what Andy intended - when Google bought it this is what they had in mind and it has been driven consistent with this policy. Google is absolutely at fault here and EU is the first of what should be many more cases again

This was pretty good last year but this year isnt forward looking at all. Also they missed the 100 mn new internet users which came online in India the past year and the rock bottom mobile data rates which enabled it.

The concern is that Sam is offering this advice for founders not investors - and many would lap it up given the authority he has and make suboptimal decisions about their startup. I think YC is probably HEAVILY influenced by appearance. Wre

Broadly disagree with ALL the points, except for the first one. IMO this happens with a LOT of standard advice regarding startups. The problem is that there are as many ways to do a startup as there are founders and its too tempting for VC&

I was simply implying that Yoga and Ayurveda both originate from the same 'body' of ancient indian literature called the Vedas. I am no expert though and cant comment on how closely related they are.

I suggest you check once more around a month from now - 21st June, World Yoga Day, to be precise - from any of the thousands of yoga practitioners that you will find clogging the streets of your city.

'Educated' people once believed the earth was flat. We all know how that worked out. Nepal has rejected Ayurveda products manufactured by one company because of contaminants. How is that a statement on the efficacy of Ayurveda ? T

Yoga was pseudoscience once. Now there is overwhelming evidence in support of it. Ayurveda descends from a similar lineage. The turmeric latte that the western world is infatuated with at the moment is just the tip of the Ayurveda iceberg.

I use their toothpaste all the time. It has a very earthy organic flavor and immediately contrasts with the strong 'chemical' taste of traditional toothpaste. To be fair, the toothpaste though is an exception. Most of the patanjal

Firstly, It doesnt have to be illegal. Monopolies decrease choice for the customer and hamper innovation. That reason should be good enough and has been good enough in the case of telecom. Secondly, if there is enough competition than why h
