I believe this is a notarized version of the app just 2-3 commits behind. And I'm away from my main dev machine and just have this link. I hope it works for u.


Thank you! I'll try out this app and report back for any UX issues or bugs if I find any!


Thank u


Oh no buggg.. can u add the tag Name as key and whatever it's named as its value on the aws console for all the instances. I'm so mad that I'm away from my computer rn.


Hi, I tried the app but it keeps crashing after I input my secret.

Oh no buggg.. can u add the tag "Name" as key and whatever it's named as its value on the aws console for all the instances. I'm so mad that I'm away from my computer rn.


Sure, let me try. The app now crashes upon log in. I need to remove it completely with 3rd party app like app zapper to remove all the configs before I can try again.


No need, just update ur tags on the web aws console


Every EC2 instance has this thing called tags. Tags are just a list key value pairs u can give to most aws things. Usually the most common tag is name tag. Go to your EC2 console, just give ur instances a name.

In the launch wizard when u re launching a new instance, it gives u an option to set tags, just type in "Name" for key and "my instance" for value. U can either do that. Or after launching when it lists all ur instances u can just give ur instance a name in the first column


Oh, sorry. I dont understand the instructions very well. So I add a new tag with the access key as the name?

What about the value?


Ah yes, it's working now! Thanks!


No way rank around 500 gives you CS in those colleges. Mine is 595 and did electrical engineering in Kharagpur. Electrical engineering is after CS and EC. Basically Your rank decides what institute and what branch you will be graduating in. Even though Kharagpur is on par with the institutes you mentioned, people don't prefer it as it's not in a metro City.


Just read a twitter thread about how American culture is negative about everything. https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/981341257124397056

And then I found comments on this. Most of them are very cynical.

These are guys who want to give money with no strings attached and its so hard for everyone to even believe something like this is even possible.

I'm more interested in reading thoughts of people who were previously part of aigrant.

Please don't get discouraged, there are several people like me for whom the money and the other credits are very valuable. These are definitely not nothing. Even though you can get cloud credits in other ways, they are not that straight forward. From what I see they are offering, everything is valuable.

"I was accepted by YC when I was an uncredentialed 18 year old. It changed my life. I’ve since been fascinated by systems that find promising outsiders and bring them into the fold. YC does a great job at this for companies. I’m wondering if it would be useful to do it for research ideas as well."

What I would like to know is, from the previous batches, how many do you guys think that fit this category.

I applied last time, but I don't know if I would apply now, mostly time constraints.


Funny thing is Eric recommending AWS for HC's campaign.

"The computers will be in the cloud and most likely on Amazon Web services (AWS). All the campaign needs are portable computers, tablets and smart phones along with credit card readers."


$2 for you monthly is cheap. but not for people being targeted by facebook.

People don't even recharge their phones so that they can do voice calls. people like farmers who buys some low end feature phone but wont top up so that they can call others, instead they just load some songs in their low end phones and chill sleeping in their farms. Similarly I can see people who buy phones but wont topup their internet monthly thinking there is no use or not worth it.

facebook wanting to provide free internet for people already having smart phones or internet enabled phones is not without basis..

I got my uncle a smartphone.. he fills data once in some 3-4 months.. and pings me in whatsapp.. hi hello tata bye bye see you.. and does the same thing after 3-4 months.

These are all anecdotal experiences.. but I also would like to see some related stats..


This is where Facebook messaging and actual the Free Basics program are at odds. Free basics is basically 30+ websites which includes Facebook.

Whatsapp is not a part of free basics. Your uncle would have to buy a special'Whatsapp upgrade' if he wanted to message you on Whatsapp.

It's a clear violation of Net Neutrality principles and Facebook spent over $40 million trying to lobby for this to happen.


Net neutrality applies when your network provider holds destinations hostage. It doesn't apply when the destination volunteers to pay for your connectivity.


You accidentally approached the net neutrality mindset from an utility maximizing point of view.

A central premise of its advocats is that net neutrality is a value on its own. (More like a natural right.) Therefore, utility arguments that might favor a position in disagreement with netneutrality don't apply simply on a value basis.

That's probably the reason you got downvoted.

edit: There do exist a lot of utility arguments in favor of net neutrality. But most advocats use them as parallel constructs for their deeper reason of believe. A simple emotional test one could exercise: If you can not construct a case in which the violation of net neutrality could lead to a greater overall benefit, your position is probably more a believe than a result of rational consideration.


I have a request, poker texas holdem please :P

Two player.. for now..

All I have for a simple poker game, that I can play is a flash game written 9 years back..? http://www.geewa.com/poker-texas-hold-em

all others are desktop apps with registration and things like that..

I was soo excited when I found your link and saw several games, only to realize there is no poker :(

Thank you..


Really.. I use a dumb feature phone and the only thing I want in is whatsapp..

Thought of signing in once with a smart phone and using it forever and continue using my dumb phone..


I'm not familiar with firebase, Is it like Parse? If so what is better?


It's a backend-as-a-service, like Parse, but based on realtime server-push functionality.


Also India ranks, 140 on world press freedom index 2014, if you move 7 places ahead you will be in Putin land. It became worse in the last 10 years, 120 to 140.

Is Quickr any good? From my experience, craiglist india is full of spam.. Every board is filled with men trying to hook you up with prostitutes.. No matter what board it is..


CL India is very popular if you are into illegal things.

I managed to sell my bike on Quikr so clearly it works. Indian business face trust issues by default.


I had seen people selling iPhone 5S for INR 15K on quickr and thought its a scam !


Ya Quikr is good, you can also try olx.in
