I find it hard to believe that there over 125 people who read this website and who are over 90! I think what happened here is, some guys read this and decided to be naughty and dec…

I think I can come up with a simpler explanation of one way function to start with. Lets say the word I want to apply one way function is 'america'. Lets say I assign a number to e…

Another way to think about this is- Who is the real you? Because you are changing! When you are 21 years old, you might be one person, when you are 30 years old you might have evol…

I concur, what is done is a step in the right direction. Once its digitized even scanned copies can be transcribed via some technology(may be OCR?) in the future if not now.

Yes. If they do, what might happen is you might choose a different ISP. Its simply not in their business interest to censor content, hence they dont! Typically, if they have to cen…

Just to be clear- The university that you study has the right to censor certain websites because they are providing you internet and hence they can stipulate the rules(for the serv…

Fantastic! I learnt something new today. I did not know that the world was projected using Mercator projection and the how that played a role in distortion of the land size.

I dont want to discredit the whole article based on a few things. There were some things that he says either didn't impress me or seemed inaccurate These are huge obstacles, and is…

I see this as exploitation or price fixing in some way! Let me elaborate. Lets say Steve Jobs was paying an Engineer $100K at Apple. That skill set might have been worth atleast $1…

I usually dont like to talk in sound bites. But I can't help but say this famous quote from Gandhi. Be the change you want to see in the world. This article has a very judging tone…

Many countries and even developed countries take aid. Sure if India accepts even 2 cents as aid from some other country, it is technically getting foreign aid. But I guess the impo…

Information is Power==Money! One thing I always believe helps is having information about the thing that you want to buy. For eg:- If you know that the car that they are trying to …

There are multiple levels in which I agree with the above sentiment. Some of my teachers had these quotations to encourage questions! 1) If you say you dont understand, you may app…

I concur with most of your arguments, I do concur with you that there seems to be over importance given to Job's personal-life than it should. But, your last paragraph about Job's …

I for one think that if the law was drafted "properly", there is very little police can do about it even if the ministers (who supposedly use them) are pissed off and want the poli…

The thing is, I would say the cost of production of Coke is less in India too. In other words, even though I believe price arbitrage happens, I dont think that would be the main cu…

The author suggests to not get caught up on a programming language and use that as just a tool. I think I agree. I also want to add that people get caught up on using some other to…

I am told that a similar argument can be made between TV's that display at 120 Hz as opposed to 240 Hz. i.e there is no discernible difference!

My guess is in the future...you will have to walk through both metal detectors and body scanners! I am not sure, if they will dump the body scanners based on this video!

For the sake of honest debate... how do you know what exactly it is Osama wanted? Maybe all he wanted was to kill people and didn't care about liberty because he does not know what…

I think I can reason why you are down voted. May be it was the delivery style of the message than the message itself. But I think it was unfair to you as you have a valid point. If…

Ofcourse, I think everybody agrees that there are shitty products. I would not be surprised if somebody told me that there are products which are considered shitty by overwhelming …

The op does not state whether the claim that replacing all cells will cost $40K! In many cars today... replacing the engine or any single major component(because of mechanical fail…

Let me try to shed light on the other side of the argument. Based on the author's experience, it looks like what is really necessary for this day and age is a public browsing cente…

Not big investments — maybe $100,000. They don’t need your money; they can raise money from anyone. I dont agree with this. Many startup companies have to prove their mettle to get…
