I love this site. On mobile, its such a pleasant experience to use it. It's clear what the site is about and where to get what you want. From the fonts to the padding, everything seems to fit. A great case study in form + function.

In my home state of Rajasthan, you can practically drive into every small town and find some old fort or mini palace. Some of these, when maintained, are absolutely stunning. The good news is that Indian tourists are increasingly willing to

I'm not sure how people will react by say, week 4 of isolation. I've been cooped up indoors for a week and it's already taking a toll on my well being. You will invariably have people breaking quarantine after a few weeks, es

Same here. Shifted all my domains to Namecheap from GoDaddy. It was a breath of fresh air not being upsold to all the time, and not dealing with ridiculous renewal fees.

I understand that. But I'm not talking about Coronavirus in particular but the threat of a pandemic in the age of antibiotics. This one might be a virus but past pandemics like the Black Plague were bacterial in nature.

We also have to keep in mind that that 2% rate is in a fairly developed country with robust medical infrastructure and a decently young population. You can't expect the same death rate in a country with poor medical infrastructure (say

Our widespread abuse of antibiotics isn't helping. To think that we can go 100 years without a serious pandemic while also abusing antibiotics at an unprecedented scale betrays a sheer disregard for biology and nature.

The biggest impact will be on global supply chains. Also paints into sharp contrast our over reliance on China. A side project I'm working on uses a key component from a Chinese manufacturer. Their factory has been shut indefinitely an

It seems unprecedented in my lifetime, which, in case of matters of health, is all I care about. Spanish Flu might have killed 100M but that doesn't affect me. This thing does.

Hi Nadim, I have a system where I record payments in Excel and send out invoices via a Word template. What reason would someone like me have to switch to your service? Besides a slight ease of use, how is your service better for a solo foun

This might very well be a false dawn. Internet speeds are downright awful after the Jio-led boom, prices might go substantially up if we are reduced to a duopoly, and the startups that raised billions on the promise of 600M internet users a

In the developing world, this is a non existent argument. Most people are dependent on the government in some capacity. In India, the government is the largest employer and the welfare state is firmly entrenched in the system.

The current government had a massive banking drive where it almost forced the rural poor to open bank accounts. This was followed by demonetization of currency notes, which, as harmful as it was to the economy, "normalized" the id

Maybe this is an American perspective (the American financial system is horribly outdated) but in the developing world, "digital currency" is mostly a solved problem. Your bank account integrates so seamlessly with digital payment

I've felt that Udemy courses are a good starting point for understanding a topic in a structured manner. Once you know the basics, you can move to a better, more expensive course. For instance, I bought a course on mixing vocals in Abl

I don't use Quora. Quora just pops up in my search results all the time. There is nothing innately Indian about Quora. Indians are just overrepresented on it.

I would honestly be happy if there was a way to filter out content from Indian users on sites like Quora. And I say this as an Indian.

You're going to take even more time to convince people to let go of the control - or at least the idea of control - that comes from driving yourself.

I've become increasingly jaded about the tech hype cycle. We had 3D Printing, VR/AR, crypto, and self driving cars hyped to no extent in 2-4 year cycles. We were told that they were going to change our world in the next few years.

The humble ball point pen. People forget how cumbersome and/or expensive it was to write before cheap ball point pens became a thing. You had to use fountain pens. The cheap ones leaked and were an absolute mess to carry around. The on

To me, being rich is simply about living life through passive income sources. Most of the rich people I know live this way - they make their money through investments, especially fixed income assets like real estate.

Yeah, I dabble in domain trading and this domain would fetch $500k minimum on the open market.

I switched to a Thinkpad from Macbook and I'm really, really enjoying the keyboard. Easily the best typing experience I've had on a laptop. Nearly as good as the cherry red switches on my desktop keyboard.

Delivery is now just a pass-the-buck system. Delivery companies blame riders who blame restaurants who blame delivery companies again. I'm not sure if this is something that can sustain once the discount gravy train runs dry.

As a content strategist, I always advise my clients to pursue a hybrid approach. Some posts have to be purely SEO focused with heavily optimized content. Some should be focused on driving social shares. And some should simply talk to people
