praving5on Elon Musk talking about 3D Tunnels

I don't know where he gets this "rich" ideas from? I mean either he is watching a lot of cartoon movies or reading lot of fiction.

praving5on Ask HN: Does a viable alternative to ScreenHero exist?

If you have upto 8 participants, you could use https://www.uberconference.com it is pretty cool and FREE. After 8, you need to buy subscription.

praving5on Ask HN: Why do companies outside the US pay so much less?

To me, it is just currency difference and does not matter on engineer or skill. For example, when I was offered to move to the US from India, I was offered 3 times my Indian Salary to suit US expenses. Basically, the pay you get should match your expenses. So, if you earn in Dollars, you spend in Dollars providing your net savings be same as someone who earns in GBP and spends in GBP.

If you choose to work remotely, the story is different. You may want to negotiate to suit your local expenses and then it is up to the hiring company to decide if it can match your local expenses.

praving5on Ask HN: How much time you spend per day reading HN?

I have kind of reduced it to 15 minutes as well. Earlier, I used to read everything. I see that there are increasingly long posts on biology and other topics that can be easily skipped if you read for technology news.
