I am sorry but this sounds stupid. You do not build non ac buildings with glass exteriors. You build them with bricks. Moreover you have windows for cross ventilation, high roof, shades over windows and thick brick walls elsewhere to keep t

Great to see that my city, Mumbai, is setting an example here. Plastic ban is a no brainer. People must move to either biodegradable carry bags and packaging or move to jute/steel/metal bags/utensils etc. Plastic would choke

Well, this does not give the correct picture on the ground. Flipkart is bigger than amazon here. They have fashion portal called https://myntra.com and new fintech play called PhonePe. They are biggest player in fashion and whit

You know that Tesla uses way more people per car than say a GM or Toyota in their assembly line...right ? This number may go down in the future but it is a fact right now. Don't take my word for this: http://www.autonews.com

Uber guy earning INR6000/month! Man you have been conned hard. An Ola/Uber guy earn something like INR35-50K per month after all fuel and car expenses. No one would work for 6K/month even in tier 3 cities for Ola/Uber.

Crystal is one of the most exciting new languages out there. I have been using it for my one off tasks at Ola and it works pretty well. It is huge plus point that you have safety harness of statically typed languages and speed comparable to

Internet is at risk of becoming low level plumbing of the snazzy house of proprietary app world. With the advent of app-only companies and products, internet, as we knew it, is slowly taking the backseat. App world is full in control of the

Lyft will be the first taxi company with self driving cars at scale. With this investment, they won’t bother with other markets till they have US sorted out.

One biggest takeaway from this is that they can have multiple machines for the same IP address. That is just awesome and also explains how they have probably managed to scale up services 8.8.8.8 without needing to use load balancers.

I am pretty sure this would lead to this. Bangalore already has this ban and most grocery stores use disposables or use biodegradable plastic. In Mumbai(Bombay), every plastic bag costs INR 3 to buy from grocer. This works well in large sho

If you make tax too high then people would steal. They would buy without receipts etc. Better to ban inflow of plastic consignments of plastic, close plastic factories in city limits and keep a tab on businesses. It works decently in Bangal

I think you are being knowingly stupid here. Bangalore has plastic ban and works very well. It does not apply to people but enforced by BBMP (municipal corporation) on businesses to either not use plastic or to use biodegradeable one. It wo

Uber is not a small 10 person startup. It affects everyone of us. Would you be so forgiving if this would have been a Russian or a Chinese firm doing this ?

Is it even surprising ? USA is the only country in the world to have used nuclear weapons. You have already used it in first strike mode which did not even have nukes. Why is it surprising that it would not happen again ?

Mumbai has no power issue. In the last 10 years I have lived here, I have never witnessed load shedding. It is because last mile is served by private power companies namely Tata and Reliance power. This makes power slightly costlier but a h
