@jsensarma @psankar Wish BMIC had panned out. Like the Bay Area with Bangalore as San Francisco and Mysore as SanJose and our own Sunnyvales and Redwood Shores , 880, 280 etc in between.

@jsensarma went bankrupt. Cisco survived. The people who made the money - Amazon and Google and all dot com descendants like Apple, Netflix. I think it’s definitely a rerun of dotcom.

@jsensarma I asked all the models what the total cost of internet equipment and laying submarine cables + equipment cost between 1990 and 2000. $500 Billion. Global Crossing, Worldcom and 360 networks went bankrupt. Lucent and Nortel who financed their equipment purchase with debt

@maveinlux There is so much nuance here that is missing. It is cheaper to dispose stuff where others (not necessarily poor) can pick it up and is acceptable. Yes its a culture shock for Indians since we lived through centuries of scarcity. This post is really unwarranted.

@redBus_in I don't know which genius in your organization had the idea to solicit feedback on each journey through multiple outbound calls from an automated IVR Agent. You can send a Mobile notification, but multiple calls are irritating

Hey @tarunsmehta
tried buying an Ather 450x through your Ather BaaS service. I live in bangalore, been to at least 3 showrooms by now and all of them say it isnt possible to purchase my scooter with that. Whereas your website still posts the BaaS system as a method of purchase.

@devaiahPB Probably because Bangalorean English is one of the the most Intelligible English so your friends don’t need to switch accents in the US unlike Delhiites or even Chennaiites. In a Business meeting customers understand when a Bangalorean speaks English. @devaiahPB

@curiousbeing13 @jsensarma But GPUs are going to space :)

@arshiaunis @jsensarma Yes, Christianity had its Westphalia moment when Church was separated from State and Church no longer ruled with the state. Leading to the rise of the West. That moment in Islam is needed now.

[Robby Thomas @robbythomas79]

@jsensarma True, economy will reach "homeostasis" at some point and inflation will be the only driver of perceived growth. World population is est to peak at 10B and there is only so much they can consume. I think the next phase will of growth wont be financial. Less imp for next gen.

@sushantsareen An email service like Gmail is extremely complex. It’s not just what you see like receiving and sending mails. The complexity is is scaling it, storage, managing spam and junk, security threats etc. I used to work at Hotmail and it’s not easy. It will require long term investmen

@K2_181 I just did something very similar a couple of weeks ago. What I thought would take me at least 10 hours was able finish in 30 minutes. Was a holy shit moment. That said, a clear understanding of the data model etc was needed would have been on a wild goose chase

[Robby Thomas @robbythomas79]

@jsensarma I used malloc in my first program that had to run in production. memory management was super important. A few years later I moved to devops and noticed that GC CPU would touch 30-40 percent and people were throwing hardware at the problem. So was smiling away at the 1GB leak🙂

@iMukeshB @svembu Illusion of infinite demand is what’s happening now.

[Robby Thomas @robbythomas79]

@jsensarma @svembu We should have levels like in IG curriculum. Like Hindi as a spoken language or Tamil as a spoken language instead of learning Literature. Folks who want to learn literature should have advanced options. Subtitles in OTT platforms have made more progress for national integration

@kevin__dave @jsensarma Minister Ashwini is known more for making reels on insta than actual work.
