My last experience with AirBNB, it's customer support, and eventually an insurance claim, all went quite horrible. Made me realise how stark a difference there is on the spectrum of customer support by businesses. On one side we have c

Shouldn't the title of this be "Subscribe to FT"? Because that's the page I see when I click the link.

Talk about having a clause that you can bend in any direction when needed. :/ But fair enough. The story isn't really that uninteresting.

>>> That just makes you an exception. Sounds like a sweeping statement. Not sure your example of aadhar is relevant. Everyone needs to have some form of ID so they can be represented in "a database". My reply was in the c

You read that wrong. I don't have a problem with "discussing issues" and "coming to an agreement (or disagreement)".

I don't understand where these sweeping statements are coming from. I grew up in a third-world country too, and transitioned myself from belonging to a lower middle class family, into an upper middle class life. I don't have an io

I am going through SICP currently, after having it on my reading list for long. Loving it so far. I agree that exercises in the book shouldn't be skipped, not a single one. You might seem to have grasped the material until you take up

Looks promising. I will wait for the Ebook though (I know authors don't plan on releasing one, but their plan has to fail ;) ).

I don't know about others, but I am surrounded by quite a few 'idea enthusiasts'. People who believe that an idea is everything, and they get emotionally attached to each of their ideas. It makes it very difficult to critique

Even if we rule out the possibility of human race going extinct (which is quite improbable anyway?), isn't missing on a family life (wife and kids) quite a huge compromise in pursuit of some vague definition of 'productivity'
