avinoth··on Exploiting Android Users
This. This is what pisses me off at the Android and it's ecosystem. I'm an avid android user, and more and more witnessing how it's turning exactly what windows was(is) and how crappy they are in protecting their users.

You can submit an app to the play store and get it approved within a day. I mean, come one, phone data are some of the valuable possessions one has in this century and they care less about it being abused. I wish there can be a tightly knit app store similar to iOS with stringent reviews & regulation, but I know it's never going to happen.

avinoth··on Show HN: Nuggets – Remember everything you read or learn
Hmmm, I saw your pitch to YC fellowship through topcharts yesterday and now you've made a Show HN with a lifted design of rooms.me? pretty bad move IMO.

The fact it's lifted really clouds anyone to look at the idea or the concept and provide feedback here, change it for the better.

Or is this just a way to keep topchart at the top?

The second part really is irritating, given that new products are at the bottom of the pit and hidden under multiple 'Load More' with the slightest chance of anyone resurrecting it.

avinoth··on A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, nuclear scientist and former president of India, has died
I once met Sir Abdul Kalam at a scholarship event for only school students. I was 14 at that time and after he had given his speech he walked through the auditorium and asked "what they wanted to become?" to random kids.

I still remember to my heart when he came to me and when I replied I wanted to become a software engineer he smiled and replied "And when you become, become a good one".

Really a great loss for India.

avinoth··on Ask HN: Whats the worst startup idea you've heard, which turned out to be genius?
I still think Snapchat is a dumb idea. Maybe well executed? I tried myself to start using it, but everytime I install it, I'll uninstall after few minutes..
avinoth··on Ask HN: App for taking attendance ?
Without specific hardware to it, I don't think so.

But you can always use your Wi-Fi router to detect the unique number of devices connected but that still rules out people connected through data plans.

Payrollhero has an attendance management app for office, but not for events as such.

If you don't mind using a separate hardware density[0] came out recently and looks very promising.
