Large welfare states are very basic income like. Have you checked the numbers on how many people get some form of government support in France? Many European countries' have their 30%+ budget for welfare

I have read pretty much all the comments. Many European countries have some form of basic income. I don't think Americans commenting here realizes how unsustainable that is. You can't mix high growth that US enjoys (look at dispos

Yes but computer vision is not what people mean when they are talking about AI. Many of the great AI advantages are available as cloud services. But that's not what people mean by AI. Or they hide those use cases and services. Focusing

I have seen massive failures where management got sucked into AI hype and failed to realize most basic of advantages. Hired for fancy titles like Data Scientists etc. who were great in building simple prototypes but failed every time when m

AI is the new blockchain. The only difference is that Blockchain now beginning to look ready for real world applications having gone through its wild west days. AI is still in that phase. Lots of talk, little to no substance. Yes, Google Ma

I switched to DDG. It seems quite good to me. I am mostly interested in recent events and Twitter Search and news websites is good for that for my needs. DDG is perfect replacement.

What's a good alternative to Google?

This decade will see stagnation and fall of Google and Amazon as new entrants replace them. Not sure by what but public will binge on something else instead of instant information and shopping.

That's still not good enough as compared to Zurich or Amsterdam. Or many other cities. Why stop at tech. Many Romanians and other poor EU immigrants move across Europe for all kind of jobs. I don't think you have thought this thro

As I read this when listening to some rowdy drunk neighbors shouting. It's such a perfect contrast to be in two worlds.

But this is indeed about money. Why tie up a crypto token with a messenger otherwise. No US, no money. That's how it is. I wish SEC had fined EOS more though

This is such a conjecture with so many data points missing. I was sleeping 8 or so hours a per night and was miserable health wise. Made (major) eating and movement changes. I am sleeping less but in so much better health! I would say, I wa

My own take is that agile simply become tool for non developer actors to influence development team in (extremely) unproductive ways. It leads to short term thinking, really strange people practices. I have only seen it getting exploited. S

Toptal has definitely cut out a brand name for themselves. But most good companies has their in house recruitment team. I wonder how RemoteMore will value add to them. This is one trend I really want to accelerate

Most new (first time tenants) will get a cliff rent with next few years of upside factored in. But this will benefit existing tenants. I still think right law to change would be to allow high rises and right government intervention would be

Yes and those embargos indeed put India many years behind. I do think it's quite admirable that the country developed these things indigenously. But we should take the existing good and advances from all around us and leapfrog. And bui

I hugely admire working with my American colleagues. They are indeed far more talented and it has always been a great learning experience. In fairness, if America wants it can cut India off. And the country will be many years behind without

Actually it's not as much as enemies of India. I have seen fairly negative comments about India's accomplishments from neutral folks. My own understanding is that India's rise makes people uncomfortable because they can no lo

I don't know how you reached to that conjecture. This whole "state is evil" idea is very mass market now. And I hear even people just entering the workforce holding such views. I personally think it's just mass consumpti

I am glad it worked out for you. But give it time. Everything compounds. The firm that's paying you more is signalling that it's financially healthy and taking right business decisions. Of course pay cut for a startup adventure th

I will chime in here as I did something along these lines. It's not worth it. If you/anyone wants to do meaningful work. Make lots of money, use the extra money for things that matter to you. It's a hard learned lesson. But e
