My current setup usually works. I make it a point to have my emails on my own domain. I use Google Apps and then use my own IMAP backup app ( http://thehorcrux.com/ ). In case something goes wrong, I intend to move providers and restore the

I agree with your point but those $10 engineers are probably living in a shitty shared apartment in Bangalore. He doesn't have 24/7 water. Works few times a week. When he does, he has to go down his apartment to fetch it. He doesn't go to f

I think you've already disclosed it a few years ago. It's already a mature app for all I can see.

It's pretty easy in India too. It's called NEFT and very cheap. I've never been charged more than Rs. 10 - 20.

I assumed both are closely related (I'm no economist). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution My original comment was to put just enough effort to capitalise on the first few parts of the distribution. As an outside observer, in

I just read the 4 hour work week book. He actually talks about the 80-20 rule. 80% of returns come from 20% of work emphasising on the effectiveness of your actions not efficiency. Applied to this, they could have enjoyed the initial succe

"scary to imagine what life would be like if we couldn't look up whatever we needed" It'd be scary to work out math problems without pen and paper. It'd be scary to cross over the amazon without an airplane. Applies to every tool you use. I

I think this is not always true. Read from: "The Ideology of Competition" http://blakemasters.com/post/20955341708/peter-thiels-cs183-... http://blakemasters.com/post/21169325300/peter-thiels-cs183-...

I agree. This situation works great for computer related work. You probably can't build a robot or waltz with your partner on Skype.

Yes, I agree that the world is moving more toward virtual commuting. Somehow, I feel there is still no alterative to real world communication. Until that is fixed, this is still amazing. Self driving cars will have a metro train like experi

In the article, this line really hit me, "Are we morally required to intervene"? I'm not sure. Here's a slightly open documentary (around the 44 minute mark) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaqbVSEPfRc Even with all the brainwashing, they

That is one of the reasons I prefer Mac.

by suhastech 14y ago
That is the reason I wrote a Mac app to do just that. Atleast for emails as the parent comment is suggesting. More on the that: http://thehorcrux.com/why-i-built-horcrux-app/ </shamelessplug>

Agreed. Life is full of risk vs returns decisions. Employment - Low Risk, Low Returns Startup - High Risk, High Returns I love how this preposition is somewhere in the middle.

I think this is perfect for first time wannapreneurs with very limited connections which seems like a large untapped space. I applaud the proposal. I'd love to hear about a follow up post in the near future.

This is definitely not a blame game. Do note that I've specified a few contributing factors in pre colonial times major one being the male dominance. The taboo is just stopping us to open up the issue. I believe we can solve problem by find

My hypothesis on why the way it is in India. This should not be viewed critically. This probably applies to less literate part of the population. Before british influence, looking at the history, indians seem to have been very open about se

I'm actually fine with it as an app developer. Easy Rails Integration, Django app, Wordpress plugins could be something they might want to look at. To me, this looks like a free version of https://www.authy.com/

With respect to India, I thought I'd give you a little more insight. A grossly generalised point of view: * Low class group don't pay taxes * Middle class group do pay taxes * High class group might not pay taxes The middle class group usua
