Well, which video site is not? Youtube's DMCA responses are really good, compared to FB or any other video platform.

True, Linkedin is spam and their apps/feed are copycats of FB. But, they have a monopoly over professional networking and so recruiting. The data is the gold mine, there's no way any new company would be able to convince 440 milli

While US has quite better conditions, India is not some messed up rogue state. Many come here for a obvious reason, Money. The currency exchange rate is 1 : 66 for USD : INR. So even with PPP into consideration, that's huge and so they

My comment above is being downvoted crazily and wanted to tell that I'm quite surprised and disappointed to see so many people think that the petty reason mentioned above is the actual one to ban Google street view. SMH.

Then you and I have a different view about what all major cities are! There's no shying away from the problem if there's one and as i said, it's common in the country side.

I feel the govt should figure out a way to allow Google to get the cities on street view. Tens of incidents happened which costed thousands of lives and so understand the apprehension of the security authorities. But they just have to come

You don't have to get it to use it. I see LinkedIn is now supporting Google Instant Apps and when i searched for a name on the Google app, clicked on the linked link, it opened the profile in an app, though i don't have the app in

I have experience of being on that site and they are not mutually exclusive. Are there 100 mediocre Indian dev's to 20 excellent Indian dev's? sure. But a straight stereotype in contrast to a super dev is not looking good here.

It's more intuitive for beginners and if more stacks(Django/Laravel etc) are added, this would be a good way to select stacks and generate boilerplate.

I don't think his statement implies any of the things you are referring to. If you reread the comment again, he is making the argument that the students who went to school in US and are good at what they do should not be discriminated

If Google does it, they can as well sneak in some of these to Play Music play lists, see the response on no of replays and stuff and gauge the overall quality and likability. Basically crowd source the reviews.
