yogrish··on Goodbye AdSense
Now a days these cases have become more and more. Accounts from Pakistan and India top the list...even genuine guys account gets disabled. Google says: your account is "posing a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers"...as if we are running behind his customer with a gun or knife.
yogrish··on The Real Problem with Facebook's Timeline
I too dont like FBs Timeline. Its total Mess. Many other Timelines don't get it either. Timekiwi to some extent is good. I have some ideas for a better timeline. If any hacker is willing to cowork, I can share my ideas to build the Best Timeline.
yogrish··on Bill Gates on his last visit with Steve Jobs
very well said. No one is Perfect in everything. From those kind of poeple, we need to pick good things that really stand out in them and for which they became iCons now.
yogrish··on Ninja Blocks: Connect your world with the web
very true...its "ifttt" in terms of hardware(sensor) triggers.
yogrish··on Hastebin
+1, at least basic info of what it is, its uniqueness and how to use is missing.
yogrish··on Mind Your Manners: Eat With Your Hands
Am Indian and I mostly eat with Hands except in restaurants and Office for hygienic and social reasons. I feel eating with hands establishes a "connect" between you and food. I relish food alot by this method even if its a simple meal. With other method I taste spoon(metallic) along with food and hence can't relish much. Hand also acts as feedback mechanism to brain whether food is hot/cold, hard/soft etc before tongue (a sensitive part)gets a surprise.

yogrish··on This Photograph Is Not Free
weird argument. Being a photographer myself, I understand they need to be properly rewarded for their creativity, effort and more importantly time.. but this is not the way to put your point. On similar lines, any thing you are buying day to day will cost you a fortune..be it a Coffee or a candy.
yogrish··on Nokia Maps 3D (WebGL)
Lot of webGL these days. As you are directly working on this technology, I would like to know how the future of it is going to be?
yogrish··on Salman Khan of Khan Academy AMA on reddit
Very Inspiring Guy. My fav quotes from his FAQs."if you are a social venture capitalist and are looking to deploy capital with the highest possible social return per dollar invested, we should talk. I think you'll find that there is no more measurable, scalable and high impact way to educate the world."
yogrish··on Ask HN: What sort of advice can you offer to a 20 year old?

yogrish··on Facebook machine learning technology improves; Redditors alaramed.
But why that whole technology for just making a Suggestion? There is something else they are working on...something really BIG and a complete game changer I guess.
yogrish··on Facebook machine learning technology improves; Redditors alaramed.
Wow! A serious competitor to SIRI in place. My guess is they are using combination of techniques - Semantics of your Status as phpnode mentioned with example(heard they have plans to get into semantic search to beat google), EXIF info, IP address and also your friends replies - when is the due? which hospital or Gynic? If hospital name is not mentioned then Gynics details and her hospital location. Do you think all this is used just to make a SUGGESTION?? Its a Billion$?

yogrish··on Zendesk CEO calls Freshdesk a freaking rip off - Freshdesk responds
A fitting response from Freshdesk.Zendesk has to pay for its badmouthing. They started it and Freshdesk is milking the controversy surrounding. May be FD scripted this long before, expecting this attack from zendesk.
