Being in the minority doesn't mean they can be treated as outliers. Those ministers have multiple cases against them. Given the nature of public attitude and their trust in the justice system in a developing country such as India, you can r

I think you have to think about employee development, which means that the requirement of the to-be-great employee becomes willingness to learn and dedication to the company (or you). This doesn't always mean spending time on mentoring th

You should check out the Indian House of Commons, called the Lok Sabha. Rape and bribery are a prereq.

No email in your profile. I have been thinking about this for some time now and I feel the biggest factor in using this is localization. Nature of corruption is different in most countries, the startup will need to address that. I'm down...

Actually the apprenticeship model exists in Canada too. But it`s restricted to trades like electrician and plumber and does not extend to engineering or law.

The process is representative of the complexity involved in something so pervasive that it almost replaces water. It is the complexity and the pervasiveness that makes it mind-boggling.

And how those things not only survive but flourish in the same environment. It's mind boggling that those designs can co-exist without immediate repercussions! The complexity through the times amazes me!

Would you recommend that or pg's On Lisp?

I am studying engineering, which is all about OOP. HN is making me so uncontrollably curious about the functional stuff!

I would think it would be more complicated given the population difference in the third world vs. the first world. That would be pretty interesting though.

In a span of a few blocks a person could eat for free 5 or 6 times a day. Care to expand?

Well of course. But that's DSP for parsing the muscle contractions, right? I would imagine you guys didn't do any application-specific math like guidance of the choppers..? Just curious!

That was my first thought too. The video game shot made so much sense though. Good luck to these guys, hope they make it into a massively big company.

I would think they just map muscle contractions to commands for the drones. No math required except to parse contractions.

The concept of regardless is lost in a meritocracy given the terms of measurement are defined by the the dominant group, which may or may not reflect the required knowledge for the betterment of the system. For example, if you have a comp

It is not about the exclusion of some people as much as it about the inclusion of all .

Erases individual experiences? That's exactly the opposite of what feminist epistemology proposes, hacker789 .

While I did borrow from feminist epistomology, that's not the point. Simply put, having a diverse workforce is better because it introduces diversity in work.

Meritocracy is like traditional view of objectivity that knowledge exists without the knower. Truth of the matter is, knowledge exists without the knower but it is not independent of the knower. This is why 14 year olds writing app is a rea

Why not YUI? I'm so confused at the proliferation of these JS frameworks where everyone literally keeps reinventing the wheel. Excellent as a learning exercise but other than that, what's the point? YUI has been around for so long compared

Isn't that the internet anyways?

This is amazing, a big thanks to that museum!! He wrote latin and that too right to left (that was drm) if that helps anyone here. Of course, it's just easier to check out the commentary on than his actual work.

I find that the best hustles are marked by sincerity and underlined by humility. Your story proves just that, thanks!

What's your point? I don't expect her to be on the internet except in the corporate sense. Her formative years were before the internet era.

I'm glad. Not because of the non-profit nature of this startup but the endorsement YC has now given to non-traditional and perhaps massively big ideas.

I find that sometimes people need to learn how to handle popularity and the fact that what they say actually matters. Else you end up with comments like 'eyes bleeding'; these are extrinsically motivated comments that don't usually represen
