Where do you live dude?

Is there any utility for designing CS maps?
jagira··on [dead]
They do. I played it on Mac a few years ago.
jagira··on Ask HN: Why is healthcare IT so screwed up?
The way doctors think is radically different from the way engineers (who build the tools) think. We need somebody like Steve Jobs in healthcare.
jagira··on The daily lunch delivery of India's dabbawallahs
That scene is from a small Punjabi town. It is difficult to carry lunch boxes in Mumbai's local trains.
jagira··on Why startups in India find it hard to hire devs
->Flipkart copied Amazon and its thriving in this country.

Would you say the same thing about Jet Airways? Did they copy Delta Air? Or did Tata Motors copy Ford? Or did Airtel copy AT&T?

Some companies are about management and execution, and not about idea.

jagira··on Why startups in India find it hard to hire devs
My 2 paise - More than half of Indian "startups" are working on next groupon or foursquare clone - Unlike USA, social security is almost non existent. In India bankruptcy means bankruptcy. This makes devs a bit risk averse.
jagira··on The Economics of Dropbox
Like Engine Yard and Heroku?

Check Develop.Github - Github's API docs http://develop.github.com/

The site is opensource - https://github.com/github/develop.github.com

jagira··on Ask HN - CO2 emissions and cloud computing
What if they are not liable to pay CO2 taxes?
jagira··on Ask HN - CO2 emissions and cloud computing
Let us assume that the provider's data center is in country like Saudi Arabia, where there is no carbon tax and the provider does not include the carbon offset charges in the invoice.

Would it make sense for an enterprise (EU/US) to have its entire IT infra hosted by such cloud provider and save some carbon tax?

jagira··on Ask HN - CO2 emissions and cloud computing
What if Amazon is not accounting the emissions while billing them?
jagira··on Poll: What is your primary development system? Mac, PC, Linux, Other
Linux Mint + Windows 7 Dual Boot
jagira··on Ask HN: What would you like to see in Ubuntu 11.10, Oneiric Ocelot?
I have moved to Mint after 10.10 debacle.
jagira··on [dead]
It is on the cards. But before that I will have to implement login (using OAuth: FB + Twitter).

Thanks for the feedback, though.

jagira··on Poll: How do you bill recurring payments?
How about Paypal + Freshbooks API?

- None of the major Indian gateways support recurring billing.

jagira··on New Lifehacker
And it's the same for all Gawker media sites!!!
jagira··on New Lifehacker
Terrible readability!!!
jagira··on New Lifehacker
Focusing on tablets?
jagira··on Ask HN: Best way to fund an idea
The idea is targeted at health care professionals. If it were a consumer app or a social networking site, it would have been easier to bootstrap.

Will checkout the site. Thanks.

jagira··on Ask NH: Are people hacking hacker news?
"it" refers to an hypothetical scenario.

The lack of clarity about this issue is clear by the context of the post.

jagira··on Ask NH: Are people hacking hacker news?
The reason for asking this question was to know whether HN has implemented such features or are they working on such features?

Did I screw the message up? Or was it difficult to comprehend?

jagira··on Ask NH: Are people hacking hacker news?
It was an example. I do not know anybody else on HN. :-)
jagira··on Ask HN: What do you think of Wikipedia's fund raising?
I am sure IBM will pay couple of millions every year for that kind of data.

Google can also pay for it, they might use for Google translate. Wikipedia already has near similar articles in major languages. Google can fight a war for this much of user translated/verified content.

jagira··on Ask HN: I built a site that just went ridiculously viral. What do I do now?
You are on Techcrunch!!!!

I will pray for you.

jagira··on Ask HN: What do you think of Wikipedia's fund raising?
They could raise some corporate/government grants. Maybe partner with schools, universities and libraries.

Again showing ads to people who are fine with it is better than showing their own ads, which are quite annoying!!!

jagira··on Ask HN: What do you think of Wikipedia's fund raising?
Even I have donated!!!

Some people can't donate but most have them have contributed in form of content. Wikipedia can find a way to monetize it. Red Hat is doing it, Ubuntu is doing it, Mozilla is doing it.

Maybe they can publish a book, journal or something. Also, they can show ads to registered people who have no issues with ads. Google Chrome's or Microsoft's banners are not that vivid and we can deal with it. I still visit wired, lifehacker, engadget despite the ads. [Again this could be kept optional]

* Just my two cents :-D

jagira··on Wikileaks: A US intelligence con job??
I do not believe in conspiracy theories, but this article is a good read.
jagira··on Ask HN: Which tool do you use to jot down your project idea / creating stories?
cool idea!!!
jagira··on Ask HN: Which tool do you use to jot down your project idea / creating stories?
Agreed!!! But it helps if we have a tool which favors organization. Plus, having it in cloud is an added advantage.
