Perhaps we overvalue ourselves That is one side of the problem. The other side is, many many people (especially engineers) undervalue themselves, think that they aren't worth much etc. It is super hard to precisely know what our

Where did you move? Also, is there any guarantee that other countries won't create similar laws/agreements etc in future (may be not today, but what about tomorrow)?

Was it a genuine mistake, or just someone adding drama to the story to make it more sensational? Looks like the second scenario, in this case.

It was like sailing through a garbage tip :( As an individual, what are the things we could do (other than using less plastic), so we don't contribute to this mess?

Even if Sundeep were at fault, at the bare minimum, D.O could've informed him that they are shutting him down. Also allowed him to get his files back. Neither of this is hard to do, even for a $5 host.

"push everything further" - what does "everything" mean in this context? We've done pretty well in terms of technological, scientific advances - but we've done poorly when it comes to health, happiness, spirit

depends on the person, I guess. Some people might think "not much time, so let me not waste it" and some might get stressed/depressed thinking about it, and waste even more time than before.

They don't have any bio measurement stuff, but they have an app for EBay. Wonder what the logic there is (shop from a tiny screen, while in the elevator?)

Can anyone recommend a good PHP framework? I've used Zend and Yii - they are okay, but I'd like to try something new. So, other than these two, which ones are good?

Totally. Every time I see tall, beautiful churches I wonder how they built those, without cranes and such. Bhaskara supposedly calculated length of year etc, fairly accurately ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaskaracha

They might cry for a day or two, but they will forget it soon. Instagram is not a necessity , it is just another cool app, that's all. It is not email, it is not SMS, it is not voice or browser, or car key finder etc. People will f

I can't understand this dependency on FB for everything, even among friends and family. I mean, if someone is contacting you only through FB, is it real friendship? It would take 2 mins for her to send you the invite via email - or

Same with ebook readers and ebooks. There are multiple examples of this. This is true even in software - sell the software for cheap, but charge heavily for maintenance and upgrades.
