You must also consider that most people do not have the kind of talent for writing that you and patio11 possess. Hats off to you guys for pulling it off and showing the way and inspiring other people. For most normal folk, it will take year

Open source gets easier to install / use with time (eg Wordpress is a one click install on any standard hosting service) and it is really free for those who know to use it. The problem with open source is that there is little short term inc

Shameless plug, but I have been writing such a framework for quite sometime now. It has all the self-defining goodness you ask for - you can edit the models (a model is a model) via the admin interface. Also has an integrated front-end and

I am trying to grasp what you are saying. I live in a developing country and I exactly know what you mean. Protectionism sends shivers down the spines of policymakers in developing countries. My country (India) has seen great progress in th

I agree it's a hard problem. How do you rebalance without encroaching on individual liberty? The producers will need to eventually agree that this system is not sustainable in the long run and adapt. The initiative lies with them.

The more I think about this, I get a feeling that bitcoins are solving the wrong problem. The real problem is not of currency (though it is a problem, but just not as big), but of deep flaws in society due to capitalism. Let me explain. Tod

I think this is brilliant for Open Source projects, and running an Open Source project I instinctively felt this is a great idea. There might be issues if the project has contributions from a large number of unconnected developers (on how t

That's interesting but most people don't know about it (and the sums are very small too). An integrated service would take things to a much different level much much more trust that the money actually goes to the developers.

Somehow I can't bring myself to have sympathy for a community that is heavily funded by the tax payers of a relatively poor country like India to further its own progress, and use the opportunity as a ticket to a migrate to rich countries f

I was not commenting on the ability of Dr (or is it Prof?) Phatak to answer, but the ability of students to ask questions. E-Yantra seems like a good project. Good luck.

The talk was on the Aakash tablet, India's very ambitious and highly controversial and potentially disastrous low cost tablet project [1]. Dr Phatak is one of the top adivsors to the Indian government on e governance and the recently appoin

IITs are highly overhyped, mass education institutes. No wonder there is very little innovation coming out of IITs, compared to Stanford and MIT, given the high quality of students. I recently attended the Ubuntu launch event at the Mumbai'

We have been experimenting in work-from-home recently, switching from a work-in-office only setup. Work from home has a lot of ambiguity unless you are doing support (which you can do from anywhere). When you are working on long term projec

Thanks for sharing the link to the awesome article on the Indus Valley script and associations. HN was the last place where I thought I would get a such a link shared. Any nice forums on history?

It often surprises me that in discussions of Indian History (including that article by Mihir Bose that you site), one of the best historians of ancient India is conveniently forgotten. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romila_Thapar

You can never make generalised comments on pricing. If higher prices are better then why newspapers are shutting down and bloggers are rising? Why are people using Linux? Pricing has nothing to do with Apple products. They sell because of t

Siri has changed the discussion about voice recognition and semantic search. Hard to imagine what will happen to all the call-centers in India if the use of this technology becomes more widespread. How many years are we away from this?
