The 2nd paragraph is just stating a fact - look up Indian news if you do not believe it. The 1st paragraph was definitely intended to provoke - however, don't be surprised if it actually happens. I have talked to numerous "auto&qu

Huh? Playing by the rules - however bad the rules are - is NOT crony capitalism. Bribing officials to not follow them is (or one among many aspects of crony capitalism).

If Uber had done all the due diligence and followed all laws, then nobody would be blaming them. But given people perceive that they are willing to break laws in many countries, they will have no sympathy here in India. The American liberta

Regulation does help protect users in many cases. For example, around 2009 the US government introduced an act which mandated that whenever a customer pays against credit card debt, the highest interest balance needs to be considered paid f

Games are not a good example because - 1. Most games now have online activation and require continuous online checks to work - for example, none of my Mass Effect 3 DLCs work if Origin cannot verify the status of the DLC online every time

Well, it appears that in both cases you were wrong. IE still has higher market share than Firefox, with Chrome being the clear leader it seems (though some usage stats may show otherwise). Even today, Microsoft is far far more important tha

That is because people tend to make noise only when "one of our own" has been unjustly treated. I am left of centre politically, and this is not limited to the right or left but everyone. I am pretty sure Aaron Swartz was not the

Haha, having worked in the Indian offshoring industry for the last 9 years, I can only say that this is a joke. At least 100 of my co-workers have moved to US with wages much less than their American counterparts.

Ok. But thinking aloud here, when and how does exchange rate come into play? The only reason I have been lifted out of poverty living in India is because of "Western" consumers - I do work for which my employer gets paid in dollar

Great comment. The standard argument given by capitalists is that the "pie" will keep on growing, so while the existing owners of capital will get richer, it will also lift others out of poverty. Why is this not happening any more

This probably depends on the regulation of the country. For example, in India, by LAW, all domestic online transactions go through two-factor authentication. For one of my cards, I need to enter a secondary password while for another I need

The "much" better off is an assumption. If I remember correctly, Fogcreek primarily uses a Microsoft stack; so did lot of people who used to hang around in the Business of Software forum run by Joel Spolsky. Most of them had boots

Liked the article, but one important thing the author missed - the startcrap can provide you the financial freedom and necessary capital for what you might really want to do (and assuming that you don't want to use existing capital fro

Brilliant book. In it, Rick Chapman also states how there were some things MS should have done differently, but the general opinion that MS "killed" competitors' products and was strongly monopolistic is quite wrong.
