   Investing in India is very nascent. I think You need to have a fully working company with customers to raise seed money. We have planned 5 products in our suite, 1 of which is in production use and 3 in advanced prototype and it was not eno

   In case Ubuntu folks are reading this. I am from India, working on our startup - our running costs are USD 500 per month, thats what we are running on. If I was in a regular job, I would surely contribute to your campaign, but I cant afford

   It might be on a case to case basis, but for me C++ and Emscripten was an almost drop in replacement. My survey compiler uses ncurses, wxWidget/gtk and web toolkit for native screen display. I read the emscripten documentation that you

   My survey compiler compiles surveys to c++. Using emscripten I was able to compile and run the survey in a browser. You can include a web framework - I used Dojo and got it to work quite easily. I then used Dojo mobile - and was able to get

   Hi. Thanks for offering this. One of the many (I am sure) projects on offer. My project is targeted at the Market Research industry. a. There is a survey programming compiler, written in yacc (bison)/C++. b. I also have a cross tabulat

   If I was the CIA/NSA I would definitely force Intel/AMDs hand to put a kill switch on the chip. That way if I was waging war with country, I first broadcast a special signal killing off all the CPUs I can. Then we launch our attac

   The extra cpu runs its own operating system. It has hooks into the main cpus - can read their registers on every clock cycle and an in built radio transmitter. when many of them are put together they form their own cluster, something on tho

   See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5837776 What if the CIA infiltrated Intel. So the i3 - is a dual core with the 3rd core that belongs to the US, similar to i5 and i7. :-)

   I think all companies followed the government supplied script on purpose. To alert public that it was a govt supplied script and that they still have gag orders. They expected people to see a pattern - this is the best that they could do, g

    I have even scarier thoughts that this. Let's say the CIA, FBI etc had a commong brainstorming session on how to target spying on people. Here are some ideas they could come up with: 1. Intel is the biggest distributor of computer chips, le

    Timeline says you can submit your application from 5-apr-2013 to 30-apr-2013. I dont think they have an expectation of a working prototype from what I've read on the various pages. Independently, I met an angel investment group head, and th

    This is off topic and about the 10000 startups (which is a NASSCOM project currently on HN). I would not have known about this if it was not posted here, and it is going to drop off the HN Frontpage as it has only 18 votes right now. Reques

    My point was along the lines of something like nginx (before it was commercialised), a growing open source project. If you felt you could make a business off nginx, you could have approached the author directly made an investment and taken

    You should also consider seed funding. If the Open source project is in good shape and has a viable business model, you could seed fund and take some equity. I am from India, and it is really difficult to raise even a small amount of money
