I have some observations on this.

1. The universe we observe is interpreted by a brain(or conscious entity)

2. There is no proof if the universe is real or fake(Any proof for its existence if all brains are destroyed?)

3. Existence of the universe seem to be a property of the conscious mind

4. There is no probability theory in this realm. Even Randomness is an attribute of existence which itself is under question

5. It is impossible to prove if there is only one conscious mind or there are several(what if all men are fake)

6. Since the physical brain is part of the universe which again depends on its own conscious perception, we have a total breakdown. One possibility is resort to Godel and suggest that consciousness exists outside the physical/energy plane.

7. Therefore what are we talking about (super mario questions his own origins on an 8 pixel screen)

Around Point 2 and 3.I have an app that I built on Mysql and now trying to host on Heroku- therefore the confusion.

Whats disturbing is that law turned a blind eye to one of America's most promising young men- And No One- No One cared to do a thing about this. History will remember this as a shameful moment when the deprived world lost a messiah when the rich and influential were busy playing poker

you should talk about the problem gamers face for 3 minutes and then about your solution for 5 minutes. Then wait for him to ask questions

Form and GM would need Tesla(technology, talent). But does Tesla need Ford or GM(diffused operations, liabilities,redundancies, old generation talent)? Nope- Therefore unlikely

Guess India has a market that's not matured enough for high rate adoption of disruptive web services. Its still a few years away from that. I have met some really good talented programmers in India,so lets not blame Indian IT manager for everything that aint working. There's a theory that I have -Suspect poor internet consumption is heavily linked with poor urban infrastructure too.

Technology ADD is a issue I have been struggling with for some time. The compulsive urge to chase every new framework is real and I do not know how manage it as it eats through my productive time.

Is this an open source framework?

A painful truth- [Deviating a bit-It is so very difficult in the mechanical world. For a moment, smart sensors offer some hope on understanding mechanics better and seem to suggest the evolution of a new breed of machines which could be truly revolutionary.] I guess the mistake we all make is that we see hardware as chip design and other deep stuff. But look at the pioneers of hard ware design and see what they are doing. Folks like Tony fadell and Elon musk are doing the Jobsian to the existing IBM likes of respective categories(home-sensors, automobiles). Very feW hardware startups till now seem to get this point.[Its changing] But you have to be very smart to be a good hardware engineer- I have to admit that. Lifes unfair :)

Continuing..

1. Use Cases- If your product aint selling, you need to illustrate use cases for your product. If you manage to showcase a very contextually relevant use case, it could literally explode. Like Youtube instant- Its a relatively unused but incredibly useful feature that got its share of sun because it came quick on the heels of Google Instant.

Getting to the top of HN should fix a lot of your user issues. I like your UI Style, but maybe the product is not very clear to me. Im not a pro perhaps, but you could still work a lot on your product site, make it more concise and easy for an idiot like me to understand too? Are you on the Mac App store? If I were you and If I had a product half as good as this, Id relentlessly blog about it with gorgeous screenshots till around 500 people bought this-Takes patience. Marketing ooutput = Intensity* Focus

Shocking how something like this came out of Linkedin and Apple has not booted them from the App store yet?

The real reason is the fear of fragmentation- This becomes more and more critical for mobile and personal devices. Utility Software updates in future will be seamless(transaction free)

Question: Doesn’t it take more energy to produce a solar panel than that panel will ever produce in its serviceable life?

Elon: The idea that a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel cannot pay back its energy investment is flat out wrong by a huge margin, but I've heard it repeated by many otherwise intelligent people.

Martin: This reminds me of otherwise intelligent people who think of hydrogen as a fuel – who don’t realize that it takes lots more energy to create hydrogen gas and pressurize it than you could ever get out of it with a fuel cell (or any other way).

Elon: Right. The analysis for photovoltaics is straightforward and has been done by disparate researchers around the world, with the payback results in recent studies varying only by a year or two.

This app has been pulled down by the app store too.

1. Most IQ tests are Bullshit 2. We all know what happened to the company famous for " Who moved mount fuji" 3. Math Puzzles are good if they are of the IMO level- but these things need a lot of concentration and joy to solve- Not under stress interview conditions. 4. Expecting someone to show brilliance by solving a math puzzle in under ten twenty minutes is a lot like a public willy wagging competition 5.Even more disgusting is the semi dumb questions at Mckinsey inerviews like - "Estimate the number of mineral water bottles in London" 6. 7.In 'Jobs', Walter Issacson says Steve was never into much of these puzzles- I can understand the reason. 8. ' I think a lot of what people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity'-(great quote from an inspirational friend-http://www.flickr.com/photos/elizabethbw/8373942339/) 9. People who ask these kind of puzzles end up creating a lot of CPU without any GPU. Very Little beauty. Very Little love. Disclosure- Im a member of Mensa Inernational. No Offense meant.

Is this even possible?- This looks like a big Farce

In US Maybe- Outside US- No

Can someone pen a similar - 'The India I left behind' and put the damn thing on NYT

Its not about feedback- Its about saying "Beep- Your process is over. Stop expecting a beepin reply from us" - I dont think this will attract lawsuits

This must happen- India's only hope is massive Govt Funded projects that accomplish something and hope the engineering debri to spawn an ecosystem of high tech companies.(hope they dont migrate to the US)

OK- I have had terrible terrible experiences in India, where to date I have ZERO(0!) responses from any company on 'NO'. This frustrating includes not only Indian companies but also several 'Great to Work' places(The likes of Amazon and even Google) This is frustrating and honestly interviewing is a pretty frustrating experience now. Anyone thought how to fix this? If you are a recruiter, for god fn sake do write a one liner to the candidate expressing your decision. P.S. This is the case with pretty much most people and Im not entirely an idiot

Why dont u start something on your own as a part time project? And if it takes off well else it becomes a solid cred

WILL REACH- thats the key

The worst is ads which say Job requirement for X requires Y or more years of experience doing X.

I mean WTF!

interesting-Focus versus UX game

This is the future. Thinking how to build a service around this.

I wanted to be a scientist and here I am a spreadsheet mason :)

But then startups are averse to General managers..

You are a good guy. But there are bad guys too. You dont want them watching every move your government makes :) And Sorry, Google cant make out good from bad yet.
