The caste system is really not prevalent within Hinduism. Again another hit job by the British (& most Western media) to discredit Hinduism and paint it in a bad light. In fact the word "caste" is Portuguese in origin, there is nothing equivalent to caste in Hinduism.

Also, I'm wondering how you got the impression that Kali Yuga = downward spiral. It is a phase in the endless cycle of the universe, but not necessarily a downfall.

I think that's true. But Accenture does a lot of SAP work as far as I can tell based on experience.

Anything to discredit Hinduism.

The way Yoga is practiced in the US and most of the world is just a set of exercises. Without the spiritual & mindfulness it is not Yoga as it is meant to be. Yoga is designed to be the complete package, not just for your body, but also for your mind, your thoughtfulness & soul (atma).

I wished this followed the 4-7-8 breathing technique. I have been practicing this for the last few weeks and it has been a really positive experience for me.

Not really a bad practice per se. It's just that if your app requires high performance, then NFS can become a bottlebeck. It's not any fault of NFS, but NFS was not designed to run at high speed. But in the absence of anything else or if your app is like any other regular app, NFS is perfect to use, especially NFS 4.

> cash transactions over a certain limit get reported to the government.

Who reports it? So let's say I pay a bribe of $1 million for some significant but slightly illegal favor. Will the 'bribee' report it, or is it the briber?

Ok. So what exactly do you require to achieve even a modicum of those benefits? And you think that was not tried in the last ~70 years of Indian Independence?

I'm not sure your angle, but most people are content with analysis, but there is no urgency for action - a situation of "blissful analysis paralysis". What's worse is that, when someone takes an action, any action, these people are the first to raise all sorts of objections against those very actions that were unable to, incapable of, or totally uninterested in taking.

This article seems to be totally biased and not entirely aligned to ground reality. It's what the general people call as a "hit job" by the (mainstream) media. Most of the points raised in the article are in line with what the opposition political party - Congress has said, a party universally known for corruption & for playing dirty appeasement politics, a party that has kept India backward & in abject poverty even though it was in power for the last ~70 odd years.

Yes, there were hardships. But Indians can see the benefits in not only black money reduction, but also in decrease in tax evasion, digitalization of the economy & also reduction of terrorism & anti-social elements like mao-ism, naxalism etc.

In any case, I think we should try & maybe fail & learn from this, rather than let the status quo of affairs go on as it has been since India's independence in 1947. This is probably the first bold move ever in Indian economic history.

> The amount of unaccounted income in cash is 6%.

I've been looking for this info. How did you arrive at the 6% figure, is it in the NY Times article? Honestly I thought it was a lot bigger, at least low double digits.

And what sort of services were those that didn't need to be containerized?

Thank you for the detailed analysis & post. I am myself embarking on a startup journey, albeit in the world of consulting & I wanted to let you know that your in depth writeup was extremely valuable & in many ways poignant to me. There were so many learnings in there and the way your bared it all, it feels it must have been excruciatingly hard to let go of your company (& co-workers) in the end. Thanks again & I wish you all the very best for your next venture - wiser & better.

Few people in this day & age believe in the "migration of the Aryans" theory! I think it has been thoroughly debunked and has been recognized as a dishonest attempt by Christian / British historians to distort history & show that nothing original was ever developed in the Indian subcontinent.

Not sure what the author means by "THE alphabet". We have substantial evidence now that the Vedas were written in 2500 BC or earlier, using Devanagari - an advanced script / alphabet system used even today. So surely, "THE" alphabet was invented much before that - somewhere around 3500 BC I would surmise.

I think NFS without its issues (performance & security) would be ideal as an integrated solution.

Absolutely. By all means bundle the JVM because it is a dependency, but do not bundle Oracle's JVM/jre in your container images.

And who is that? IBM?

For the last two years I have been doing well formed pull-ups almost everyday. I could not do a single pull-up on Dec 31, 2014. Today I can do 5 perfect formed pull-ups.

Under Trump, I think "net neutrality" is the least of our worries.

From the team mates he is gathering together to form his cabinet, I can only surmise that we are going to have a hell of a rocky ride. We all need to be actively active and make our voices heard, unlike the current & so far passively active attitude we have been leading.

Being a long time Vim user, and having dabbled in Emacs just a teeny weeny bit, I'm convinced that "Emacs is a wonderful operating system, lacking only a decent editor"!

The article speaks about Latin, but so conveniently leaves out Sanskrit, ostensibly the mother of languages when you consider structure and logic. I mean, not even a mention, c'mon!!

By the way Sankrit itself means "perfect language" roughly.

Good job. I'm personally a big fan of the alpine distro.

Click bait title!

"Karmanye vaadikaaraste ma phaleshu kadaa chana"

Sanskrit quote from the Gita, meaning: "Do the right thing, do not worry about results, the fruits / success will come eventually."

Honestly, features & stability wise, MySQL is a toy compared to Postgresql. I still feel Postgresql does not have as big a market share as it could, mainly because of how difficult it is to pronounce it right. On the other hand, MySQL got away with a rather sweet name. But for any serious work, I would trust Postgres (there, I did it!!) more than any variant of MySQL.

Showing my 6 yr old daughter & 4 year old son, youtube videos of tooth decay and explaining what happens if you do not brush or eat too much candy. This has helped them both become self aware and I have never had to force them to take care of their teeth.
