    Not sure about the website you run but there might be a corelation to Linux users and your site. It could be either due to your network and the way people came to know about the si…

    and where is this mythical job/ company? In Silicon Valley, pay is high, so is the cost of living, reverse in other places. If your situation differs, you've got it good (unless yo…

    I'm a libertarian and I don't know what to say. There will be shitty companies as well I guess, but when they lose customers due to such practices, they will learn? If they don't l…

    That's interesting. I was of the understanding that everything at Google office tries to de-stress you/undistract you. I thought that would result in people being calmer/ more empa…

    What is this? Fightclub? "Rule #1 of fightclub: You never talk about fight club" :D Seems like a recipe for breeding unfairness. "Don't talk about the system", :sigh:

    This seems like a false dichotomy. "Founders need to be tech" is said often, but you're assuming "Founders need to be tech OR Founders need to have soft skills", which is an unnece…

    This is govt monopoly btw, not some private monopoly like Google (which is earned and can go away).

    I feel the same way. There need to more options to waste management. I don't want to feel obligated to sort out trash. Take my trash, sort it out and bill me. This is insanity on s…

    Because demand for plastic bags or similar substances doesn't evaporate. You're using a different substance instead of plastic, if you ban it. Using paper implies cutting down more…

    I'm an Indian and your statements are ignorant and myopic. Let me explain. Littering is in every country not just India. Certain countries deal with it in a better way. Banning som…
