I'm bullish on the economy. Outside of tourism and live entertainment, I don't see any industry taking a massive hit. I'd even say that tourism will bounce back much faster than expectations. Over the last few weeks, I'v

Most signifiers of merit, outside of academics (I'd argue even including academics), require a certain amount of privilege. You can't volunteer or take piano lessons or play sports seriously if you have to help out around the hous

I don't know. I had a bunch of toys growing up that I retained. They're kept in a little glass cupboard in my house. My nephews love playing with them whenever they're over. Something that lasted two generations certainly see

At least in India, the situation is far better now in terms of reliability. My internet goes down maybe once in 5-6 months, and when it does, it's back within 24 hours. Mobile internet is cheap and fast enough (I pay around $7 for 84 G

I would imagine a human-less plane would also be able to pull off manuvers that might be too stressful for the human body to handle.

Slightly OT but does anyone else here just not update key software anymore? I haven't updated my Mac because the last time I did it, it caused a major startup error and I lost documents.

Democracies only thrive when there is strong opposition. Modi will keep getting away as long as the opposition is non-existent.

How many all-nighters did you guys pull to launch at this time? In all seriousness, the product looks great and I wish you the best.

I really feel there are going to be big political ramifications of all this. The inequality is, honestly, not just unjust now, it's humiliatingly so. Expect more angry people electing even angrier people into important posts. There is

I really fear we're getting close to a breaking point. The absurdity of a market hitting all-time highs while unemployment figures are in the tens of millions isn't lost on the broke and the unemployed.

In categories with little product differentiation - like supplements - I'll even avoid products with 4.5+ stars (unless I trust the brand). For some reason, all the products with fake reviews hang around the 4.4-4.7 rating mark. They&#

Although it's India specific, Zerodha, a Robindhood-like zero brokerage service, has a fantastic app dedicated to finance education called "Varsity". One of the best examples of solid, well-presented content marketing I have

I would encourage you to find an old NeXT computer and see the logo in flesh. It adds a ton of personality to an otherwise unremarkable black box. Keep in mind that this logo was done for a very physical medium. And you're viewing it t

As another commenter mentioned, they changed the definition of how highway lengths are calculated. Stunts like these is what makes me sceptical of government claims (being sceptical of governments, imo, is necessary for democracy). You have

The budget for the entire project was just way too low. The Center allots 500cr for each smart city, matched by 500cr by the state. When you're dealing with city-wide infrastructure, this much money goes away very quickly

A better tactic, one that I've employed with fantastic results, is to interview your company's current customers. Get a very strong understanding of their pain points and discovery process. Then create content that addresses these

As an Indian, I've heard countless plans like these every few years. I'll get excited when it actually happens.

If I can get those kinds of speeds in rural areas, I would legitimately uproot my life and move. I can work from anywhere, and I reckon, there will be more and more people like me in the post-Covid world. This has the potential to reshape o

One reason why I might gravitate towards Airbnb over a bigger hotel is that atleast in my country, larger hotels have central air conditioning, while Airbnbs usually don't. This makes them far safer as far as Covid transmission is conc

No, by taking the "high road" and valuing freedom and rights, you get global influence and alliances that are worth far, far more in the long run than any short-term profits your IP might get you. You don't get world-class ta

Much of it depends on the way people interact with businesses. Big Banks are bad because people can literally see overdraft fees and all sorts of surcharges being tacked onto their accounts, often in shady ways. Big Oil is bad because they

Amazes me how people are okay with giving these massive corporations so much power and control over our lives - voluntarily. Most would be rightfully horrified if Walmart or Citibank was to decide what you get to watch or not tomorrow. But
