maheshs··on India’s caste system limits diversity in science
Reservation comes in 1950, does India doing great before that?
maheshs··on India’s caste system limits diversity in science
Throwaway can explain everything

>General category start line is a 0 mark and finish line at 100m mark its BS

Let me explain OBC - around 48% of population SC/ST - around 27% of population General category - around 30% of population That's why Gov is not doing caste census

Entire reservation is only 50% so remaining 50% for general

You can try to learn not to do anything. Try to create awareness that how mind is keeping us busy all the time.
maheshs··on Ask HN: How do you take notes when reading a book?
While reading I tried to come up with lots of questions which I am going to encounter in real life scenario like while reading chapter 5 first para, I come up with question "why replication is needed?" After finishing the chapter, these questions can become an anchor to build up the notes in my own language.

Notes also contains questions so that reviewing the content become better(recalling).

maheshs··on Ask HN: How good is the job market for .NET stack?
First look at the platform, I am assuming you are going to work on application which are going to work on browser.

JS and related framework (Angular, React etc) are really important and must have for job.

Now come to back-end, big enterprises use .NET as a back-end but most of the startup or tech focus companies are using open source.

Now within open source there are multiple options like Java, Python, Ruby. I would recommend python as its very easy to start and great choice for many different kind of applications like web, data science/ML/AI.

maheshs··on India's pro-business Modi storms to historic election win
People who claim Modi ia a pro development are ill informed. If Gujarat is a "model" than at least 5-6 states are in India which you can call "super model".

Link contains state ranking on various Index (Right Navigation). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_states_and_terri...

People of Gujarat were always pro business and evidence for the same is, people of Since independence, people of Gujarat are least dependent upon government jobs and having low un-employment rate always.

Now why Modi was elected. Reason is same the way congress was winning in last 50 years.

Media, Propaganda, Mix politics with religion and wrap all those into "Hope".

maheshs··on Your best passive income? (2014)
How you make money out of it?
maheshs··on Ask HN: I can't seem to finish anything. Can I get some advice?
1. Don't tell anybody because it will give you a sense of achievement and you will loose your motivation.

2. Do one thing at a time, like next 20 days for x project/habit/task.

3. Do't just plan it will give you sense of relief that you have done enough instead identify risks like what I'll do if I spent time on Facebook instead of doing x task and take action for the same.

4. Choose small task

5. Do it daily even for 10 min.

maheshs··on How Optimizely Is Improving Website Personalization [video]

PS: I am not associated with visualwebsiteoptimizer or their team. I was just a happy user year ago.

maheshs··on Poor in India Starve as Politicians Steal $14.5 Billion of Food
There are always two way to solve the problem. In this case politician can solve this problem by implementation and execution of plan for increasing the productivity and increasing the jobs. Second plan is to feed them with free food. Second one is easy and give them quick votes, though its dangerous for poor people as well as country.

maheshs··on Google India gets Income-Tax Dept notice for not revealing correct revenues
People might related this issue with recent indecent of content supervisory, but I think because of nature of business of google or any other online company who do business over the world there might be some real issue with tax. I am not saying google is doing something wrong but they might have to do things differently.

maheshs··on Quotes From Bill Hewlett and David Packard
> The job of a manager is to support his or her staff, not visa verse and that begins by being among them.

My take away...

maheshs··on History made in India: Govt agrees to anti-corruption bill
These kind of shits happens in politics in every country with some twist.

I had discussion with one of my friend in UK and stated his statement - "UK has faced riots for 15 days and India has peaceful movement for 15 days" earlier these statement used to be reverse.

Change always take time.

maheshs··on History made in India: Govt agrees to anti-corruption bill
@GeneTraylor agreed. in fact fully agree. But you need to start from somewhere. I am seeing whole movement in couple of ways. 1. Awake lost politician that they can take citizen granted. Even citizen has shown that they are educated enough (because even more than 5 million people have participated across the country over last 12-15 days but not a single violence and public property damage as in other agitations happens in India)

2. Aware about law which is about to come. This is a big deal first time people are talking about laws in details and when it comes to implementation they know how to deal with it. (In India we have "Right to Information" but very less people use it because they not fully aware even it have the simplest structure.)

3. Interested in politics - This is the root problem in India. New generation which is so called better educated than their old one is not taking much interest in politic. These kind of movement make few good leaders as other movements.

As far as my knowledge it was a biggest non-political movement in India so far.
