I don't know about meat but the demand for ivory is entirely artificial driven by people who value it precisely for its scarcity rather than utility. Anything produced using ivory can also be produced much more cheaply using other (art

The chances that you'd get responses to your question would be higher if you explained why you're asking the question. Also, I doubt there are any popular libraries with ^crappy^ documentation. why even use such a strongly negativ

Reading the comments here I am surprised at all the people who are claiming that people get talked over by other people all the time and it has nothing to do with sex. I mean, yeah there's no denying that there exist pushy jerks who ar

Fwiw, I've been to the US on business trips a few times and about 5 years ago, I decided to not consider US as a long term possibility. I have since then spent 2.5 years in Singapore[1], 1.5 in Germany and now will be moving to Ireland

Umm, I think people who say things like "20+ years..." haven't been paying attention to the change in rate of large scale social change over the last few decades. Do you really think anyone could have predicted today in 1997

Umm, not what you asked about but you could use a Linux live usb/cd to boot the laptop and explore the disk? I'd highly recommend using Google or SO for such questions. HN is hardly the right place for this.

Not that it matters a whole lot but you made two mistakes: a. You said going on about downvotes, whereas I mentioned it only once, and you probably didn't bother to check whether the only other reference of the same kind was not made

I too support all initiatives you list but not at the risk of handing away by identity for potential abuse. You have to understand that most Aadhaar critics are not anti-national or corrupt, in fact quite the opposite they do not want to b

I said this a bit differently in another comment but I'll ask you this - would you still support Aadhaar if the party in power was not the Bjp? Remember that the party in power will inevitably change at some point but this project will

One thing I find frustrating in these arguments about Aadhaar is that the people defending it seem to align themselves by political affiliation. People have to remember that even if the present government has good intentions and the PM is
