> So as long as WhatsApp stays in the phone and if it receives a single message from hundreds of contacts a user has; WhatsApp didn't loose that user.

Agree - WhatsApp didn't lose the user. whatsApp lost the usage. That's still a loss. Not a total loss but a loss never the less

Started using OpenLayers 2 weeks ago for a side project. Agree with you on power of OL. I just started basic features and already loving it.

Apart from OL API doc. Could you please recommend any book/course to learn both concepts & API.

Very much. Am not a native English speaker

I do. Self host at my work. Less than 4 his effort for initial setup and an hour or two when I want to upgrade. Super clean and helpful docs makes it a breeze to self host

Thank you for the insight. I will give dropBox a try. I currently don't have automatic Syncing enabled on my desktop which explains why I could not see Onedrive the way you did.

> OneDrive is utter crap

Can you explain what's crappy about OneDrive. I've not used dropbox much but it looked/worked similar to onedrive. Just trying to understand the problems I'm unable to recognize by not using dropbox

I own and use Office365 home edition as well as Business Essentials account and use OneDrive from both accounts

I read it to mean "but will continue to donate to, and advise the organization..." when I first read it but unable to do so after reading your comment. Not sure if this phenomena has a name for it.

I currently use the web app and phone app from http://hn.premii.com/ I just installed HNBuddy, It's equally good. I'll use it for few days before I decide to switch.

What I will miss from Premii app if/when I switch.

By default, Loads article in Text(pocket/readibility) mode instead of actual web page. 90% of the links I click are articles (save for the Show HN )

Integration with pocket to save articles for offline reading.

Ability to choose Navigation position. I place it at the top so i don't see it when scrolling up and reading stuff down/below

Another feature that's missing on all the apps I tried, Ability to share(to pocket) without actually opening/loading the article. As an example, An article PaulG, I want to instantly share/save without actually loading it in the app.

I use LinqPad[1] as my C#/F# scratchpad. Works wonderfully well and I can't imagine living without the magic ".Dump()" feature.

[1] - http://www.linqpad.net

That would be quite interesting to see(and use?).

>Bribery is a form of corruption.

Agreed

By "Corruption is a closely related and slightly different thing" I meant the same thing. My point is non existence of bribery does not automatically translate to no corruption.

What you are describing is bribery. Corruption is a closely related and slightly different thing.

>>Corruption may be a problem in the US too, but, having lived here for a decade, I can assure you I've never been asked nor offered a single bribe.

Not being asked for bribe is not necessarily absence of corruption. For a crash course on How Real world corruption works. Great place to start is https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/comments/c84bp/how_realwo...

>>Corruption doesn't affect the common man directly here.

Incorrect. Read the link above

>>In any case: just because it's in some other country, makes it all right to do it in India, right?

am 99.99% sure poster is not suggesting it is right thing. Hust saying it is not an India only problem and that it exists everywhere.

>>That article is highly one sided and too radical.

Not at all. If anything, It is In fact too soft for the problems IAS system continues to cause.

>>What would you do after abolishing the IAS? What would it be replaced with?

That's a good question. This has been studied at length by many many brilliant minds. One of the bright minds (an EX-IAS officer) that I know who studied this at length is Sanjeev Sabhlok (https://twitter.com/sabhlok). Sanjeev has a rigourously refined solution. Highly detailed implementation plan that is so detailed that even a junior IAS officer can understand. Please visit http://www.sabhlokcity.com/tag/ias/ for general reading and his book "Breaking Free of Nehru"

>>People who complain usually would not have a good solution or are probably too far away from the ground reality.

One does not need always need to know the solution to recognize a problem. Recognizing and acknowledging the problem is first of the many steps towards solving it.

>>Is that going to end all the evil in India?

This is a necessary but not sufficient condition. No one thing will end all evil in India. There are ways to end, but not one silver bullet.

I am user of both Google Apps and Offie365 and my experience so far has been opposite. At least, Google Apps' web based UI is inferior to Office desktop version. SharePoint for team collaboration to me is a much better experience. Could you list few things where Google Apps beats office 365. I occasionally consider the switch and did not find GoogleApps to be better.

I would love an invite. Please help

1) I dont see a way to import PSD. 2) I am not sure if this is the right tool for what I am looking for. My need is to be able to quickly slice out some layers from a PSD file as images. Does it have that capability ?

While I agree with everything you have said, I am not as optimistic as you are. The pace at which things are improving is so slow that It is unrealistic to be competitive in global market place and over take china.

For example, Today, 50% of India has access to electricity for 10 hours a day. This is a fantastic achievement and is in right direction, If you compare with No electricity to this 50% of india two decades ago. It is not that fantastic when you compare with rest of the world where people cannot imagine living without electricity for an hour.

As you mentioned The direction, Providing access to electricity is right, The pace at which is happening makes me less hopeful.

In order for things to improve, Citizens of India have to acknowledge and accept that there's a problem, That's just first step towards solving the problem.

Its a lot of fun and provides intellectual satisfaction to make theories on why something would not work. You can make a convincing argument for the statement "Why Startups does not not work in India". or better yet, You can write a series on "Why X does not work in India" - replace X with anything that was/is successful in US, (Obama, Microsoft, Google, Skype)

Excellent post, except the "Don't do other things" part of it. What PG offered in essay was an advice and not an answer/Theory. Advice - "a proposal for an appropriate course of action". It's just a proposal, not an answer to your situation. a better advice(proposal) of ( "Doing other things to not die" ) can be a better advice in some specific cases(like yours) and does not make PG's advice wrong.

Well written post and Thanks again for sharing your thoughts
