Yep, from personal experience, after a certain amount of salary, my happiness level stayed the same. It would go up a bit maybe for a week or so after getting an increase, but I don't really feel happier than before even though I can travel more, and spend more.

When I was in high school, one of our teachers gave us an exercise while she was going to be away for a week: everyday, write a paragraph on how you helped someone in need that day. It didn't have to be real. Just make it up. Not sure if it would actually help, but who knows?

I actually did take a data mining course a couple years ago in uni, and also at the time I was following Andrew Ng's course. TBH, I learn better by working on a project. Otherwise I lose interest midway.

I am a .net developer, and would like to learn it, but not sure how. Any suggestions to where can I access a dataset and the computing power?

Unless they promised to give him a large sum / stocks after everything is settled if he agrees not to talk.

Doesn't matter what position I'm speaking from. Can you argue against my points? Of course, poor and desperate people will take whatever benefits are given them despite how damaging they will be in the long term. Your chemo analogy doesn't hold water here because chemo actually is better in the long term - you don't have to keep doing it once your cancer is cured. This is more akin to acquiring cancer on purpose to cure a cold.

The illogic in these arguments is astounding. Maybe I can simplify it for you with a few analogies.

>All people criticising Aadhar for being insecure frankly don't have a real solution in place.

Criticising something doesn't necessitate me to providing a solution. It's like saying all movie critics should be good actors.

>Being an Indian citizen I know and have experienced benefit owing to Aadhar. I get subsidies from the government, one uniform identity that I can use to get important things.

Sure aadhar might have some benefits for you. But the critique is raising many points which make it incredibly dangerous and harmful in the long run. It's like using steroids to gain muscle faster, which is very harmful in the long term.

>Coming to the security part, which centralised biometric DB doesn't have risks.

Yes and those systems do get criticised so it can be improved. Also, aadhar claims to be open source, open API, run by volunteers, none of which it is. It sells your data to private services. Were you going to address that point at all?

>Mozilla being such a nice organisation with so many good initiatives. Why don't it come forward and dedicate some of its resources in helping out the Indian Government?

Indian government has a lot of resources too. It's not exactly poor. It could do a good job if it wanted to. That's not what this criticism is about.

>Wouldn't that be better than just criticising without knowing any ground reality of how things operate in India?

How do you know the author doesn't know the ground reality of things in India?

Look, criticism of a system or policy serves to ignite debate on how best we can make improvements and move forward. Rather than being snarky and getting all defensive and making silly illogical arguments, how about you contribute to the discussion by addressing the points raised in the article?

I don't understand why you're so pissed off rather than arguing logically.

>Finally any Indian in USA simply has no right to criticize Aadhar since the US Visa process requires biometrics from all visitors.

This simply doesn't hold any logic. If Aadhar is so good, then it should be able to stand up to any argument based on its merits regardless of where it's coming from. Can you actually present any points against the points being made by Mozilla?

Are you ok with your intimate personal details being sold to private companies? Maybe your son or daughter have a sickness and now all the private companies can know about it. Maybe years from now the collected data will be used to make decisions about whether to admit them into a school or hire them as professionals.

Please think calmly and logically rather than being sensational, egotistical, and personal. Nobody is trying to hurt your "Indian Pride".

you didn't address his main points though.

Is he/she now a manager?

sure, I'd be interested. I've been wanting to learn phoenix/elixir for a while just for fun and I've never used Vue.js before.

I'm in Canada using Android. I don't see Japanese option yet. My app is up-to-date it seems.

I don't use facebook. Mind offering other options to sign up or log in?

Regardless of whether its classified as a digital service or not, the spirit of these taxi and even rental laws and hotel laws (applicable to AirBNB) are grounded in protection of consumers and communities in general. While these laws need updating in many cases, Uber and AirBNB shouldn't be exempt from them especially when the price differences being offered by them are only possible due to them skirting the laws.

For what its worth, they did "disrupt" the economies in question and made the incumbents appreciate the consumer more, but also profited highly from it. Now its time to stop the free lunch and even the playing field.

how am I being racist?

how do you make money?

- Rich chinese are still buying up PRs through Quebec and then coming to Ontario and BC and buying up property. Also, cheating on exams to obtain study permits and work their way through a degree (cheating as much as possible) in order obtain PR amongst Chinese international students is rampant. Universities often overlook this because of the amount of money coming in, in terms of tuition.

- We are now allowing Chinese govt' backed companies to acquire Canadian companies that develop advanced military tech. This was banned even under Harper. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/liberal-green-l...

- Influential chinese are buying up political sway by "donating" to political campaigns: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/influential-chi...

I don't care about chinese people driving Audis. It's when they come over and treat Canada and Canadians as something that can be bought over, corrupted, and pushed around that frustrates me. And I'm not the only one here.

how am I being racist? We have rich chinese immigrants from mainland literally buying their permanent residency and driving up the price of housing here. We have the chinese government pushing us around and our weak government isn't standing up for Canadians. I think it's a valid concern.

I'm ok with immigrants from certain other countries. Also I'm referring to limiting chinese govt influence here.

I wish we could somehow curb Chinese immigration and trade here in Canada. Our government seems to be bending over backwards for them.

do I need a PC to be able to get into it?

what do you take magnesium for?

Is there a list of Democratic officials that oppose him and have big donations from lobbyists?

yep, vat interests me as well since I am not sure of the amount of carbohydrates in plant based proteins. Lentils and beans for example have good amount of protein, but also tend to have a lot of carbs.

I wonder why he claimed he was from Afghanistan.

the conference site is timing out for me.

Have you already created a product? I am also deciding whether to quit and work on my product full-time, or work on in part-time. I find I don't have a lot of motivation and energy to work on it in the evenings after coding all day. At this rate I might never finish. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I need some advice please. How do you find professionals? I am not very good at front-end design, so would much rather hire someone on contract, but I am not sure how to go about finding someone reliable, who will do a decent job.

hey, I myself have also been work remotely for 10 months now. Do you mind me asking what tech-stack you are using?

Didn't Peter Thiel finance Trump's campaign?
