gokulk··on Snapchat murders Facebook
can the bar go any lower? how can we even think a phone app only used by adolescent people will take over social networking for all mankind. I do not know a single person who uses this app and all the audience in this video are teenage girls.
gokulk··on Amazon's Wholesale Slaughter: Jeff Bezos' $8 Trillion B2B Bet

gokulk··on The "Window Resizer" extension for Chrome now contains malware (2013)
I googled the problem and opted out ecoasia from the extension settings when i noticed my urls getting redirected everytime. but i had no idea that the extensions can 'Access all data on all the websites'. now I notice most of my extensions like web developer, page ruler, web font previewer have this permissions. need further clarification from the chrome team as to what this exactly is. passwords? credit card numbers? can also be accessed by the extensions?

gokulk··on Bad Indian Programmers
The learning materials in India are atleast 5-10 years behind the trend in Silicon Valley and getting self taught is rare in India unless you have an excellent drive. Students pay cash and go to one of 'institutes' which promise you a job in 30 days. Its like feeding paper into a shredder. You can still get a top paying job in one of the Indian Consulting firms if you take a crash course is the 'latest' SAP module or Oracle DB.

most of the yahoo mail users I know are getting hacked and spamming links to all contacts.. looks like they are trying reduce the number of user requests they are getting (it would be pretty easy to create id's and request novel usernames multiple times).. Yahoo mail is the most insecure mail I have every used.

gokulk··on Cisco to cut 4,000 jobs

gokulk··on Show HN: My time tracking tool for your text editor
I would be able to use it if there was a way to just keep the data only in my computer.
gokulk··on WaterForward
I am not sure why they have a big blue button to go to next slide. I expect some kind of in page action for a button. As Centigonal said its just a slideshow. The message is good and everything but the design is not very.
gokulk··on Client won’t pay, my final resort
Point 4 we could just easily type cntrl+f and type the message being displayed or alert etc... It would hardly take a few minutes to find out the problem.

gokulk··on H1B Visa Lottery for FY 2014
same here.. my OPT gets over in a few months.. this may screw me over completely and force me to go back to native country. Dreams in Silicon Valley burnt due to extremely limited cap.
gokulk··on Silicon Valley Discriminates Against Women, Even If They're Better
Unless a person has a first hand account, this is nothing to discuss about. I have personally meet many successful CEOs or top ranking women in the valley. Geneder or Origin are not an issue unless you make them. All that matters is what ideas you have got and how you implement them.
gokulk··on The PyCon Incident
I second this. The person is there at the conference as a rep for her company therefore it's speaking for the company.
gokulk··on Why Are All My Friends Moving to Oakland?
Frankly move somewhere down south like San Mateo. Some parts of Oakland are dangerous and home invasions are quite common unless the community has hired private guards.
