I think that has more to do with Christianity - that political narrative of "civilising" people was a common binding thread between all the imperialists. It was thus common for Christian missionaries to be some of the first settle

Thanks for the clarification. I just recently became aware of how different the French legal system is when I started watching "Murder in Provence" and was confused when a judge himself got involved the investigation of criminal c

> we have a much stricter separation between the legislative and judiciary. Could you clarify more? You also said, "In a civil law country, precedent is always subordinate to codified law." That would imply that there is le

You expect politicians to be brave, fearless and know how to use power. But here's a politician admitting to being powerless. That is such a screwed up situation. (To be clear, I am not blaming them but the existing political environme

Interesting. Doesn't France have a legal system that leans more towards Civil Law than Common Law? So how much legal validity does this judgement have?

Different industries - PayTM is mainly into finance while Flipkart (now owned by Walmart) is into online retail. (Though both also dabble in each others field). Just because they use tech, doesn't make them a software company.

You have a good point. But let's not forget that the Nazi's and the Japanese used to do incredibly invasive medical tests on human beings in the name of "science". (Even the Americans have done political and medical expe

Work culture and values both matter. I found @Leires comment insightful because it jarred me to the reality that while we are appreciating the good in someone, we shouldn't forget their capability to be bad. Can a Gandhian be comfo

Many media outlets have been hinting at recession and predicting layoffs for sometime as all of the BigTech supposedly have a freeze on new hiring. Let's not forget that a war is going on in Europe and it is only going to escalate in t

That's a good point. I guess many of us were suggesting cheaper VPS because we assumed this is a new project, just launched. (Most inexperienced developers / start-ups tend to over provision). With current hosting technologies, it

It's fantastic! Just wish it could be used with open source editors like Inkscape or Krita, instead of AI.

That is nice of you and you've helped them to cover server costs for the next two months. Server optimisations can help them reduce the cost further.

You can probably cut down server cost by half. Have you tried with lower resources or have figured out a minimum requirement for the server? As an experiment I suggest - https://tinykvm.com/ - with FreeBSD or OpenBSD (Linux

Businesses that don't change with times do die a slow death. I have no idea how you've come to the conclusion though that Pair is in that category - would you like to clarify?

Yeah, using non-Apple monitors with a mac is a pain. Try "Retina Display Manager" - https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM - as it allows you to switch to the sharper HiDPI resolutions supported on your monitor.

No, I don't. I am vocal about brands I admire or dislike. One of the ways I was taught to evaluate web hosting companies was to check how long they have been in the business (both the company and the management) as web hosting is an ea

Just pointing out that price comparison between two product or service needs to be done with similar yardsticks. A product or service being costlier doesn't automatically mean that it costs you more as it can save your business money e

Look up "managed" hosting vs "unmanaged" hosting - that's one explanation why their services are costlier.

Does look like they have hiked their prices. But it also depends on how you are making the comparison. For example, just a cursory look at both pricing shows me some major differences - Pair is offering "fully managed" VPS hosting
