When it comes to content, Indian's don't think of it as something tangible.

The main reason though is downloading content through torrents is considered the way to go.

I feel with Netflix and Prime are out there to capture this market, with TVF being the local player, this change of philosophy is just starting to shift.

Don't you need a license to sell cooked food? How do FDA regulations work on such kind of things?

Which endpoint do you use to filter by date?

Does agile or any other software development process matter so much in a startup? I've worked in 2 startups so far and there has never been a formal way of developing software.

design your code to use undo rather than confirmation

I can think of two ways to implement undo.

1. Use flags in the database, this method has its own drawback since the entry is not really deleted but flagged as one.

2. Client side. Delay the actual delete request to the server.

Another discussion which got started in the comments[1] is whether to place the 'Delete' button to the left or right.[2]

Is this the one? - http://designmodo.com/startup/

However, these guys are Russians.

How do you play against someone who does not follow the book openings? I usually find it hard to tactically have a book opening setup and then develop on top of it.

I was reading about the Sicilian Defence, which got me deep into another variation - The Yugoslav Attack[1] Video [2]

I'm curious to understand if chess masters have all of this committed to memory, and thats something one needs to excel at Chess.

I've always preferred IMO as a client for all my XMPP accounts. I need to start looking for alternatives now.

I recently discovered netbrake. Super awesome tool to limit the bandwidth used by a process. http://www.hping.org/netbrake/

Also its written by antirez :)

nethack & slash'em

Still the most complex game on the planet.

Does anybody know if a HTML5 version of Nethack exists?

I'm curious to understand the use cases. From the screenshots, it looks like a note taking app?

This is a pretty interesting app to have conversations with friends.

Business calls, I've had a problem with video. It's often too cumbersome and gives too much info about the visual aspect of myself when it's not necessary and when I don't want it to happen. (e.g., getting on a call with a stranger or clients.) Using the "voice" call, I won't worry over washing my face at 9am in the morning.

Which is the reason I created http://voicechatapi.com (shameless plug)

Try the app in Chrome, which uses HTML5 audio. Flash is for other browsers with graceful fallback.

As Firefox and other browsers support and stabilize HTML5 audio a.k.a. WebRTC, this App will support it too.

This uses HTML5 audio on Chrome and falls back to Flash on other browser.

The WebSDK is currently hosted on s3 and hence the request. Will fix this.

Yup. It's a flask app which can be self hosted on any instance of yours and it uses redis to store conference mappings.

I built this. Happy to take any questions. Code is hosted here - http://github.com/plivo/voicechat/

True, I feel the issue with Skype is that its too personal. You add someone as a contact without realizing that they can monitor your status all the time.

ps. I built this.

Thanks for the confidence. We think that decoding/encoding of audio on dedicated hardware works best for call quality and we are really focussed on doing that.

Took about an hour to design the phone tree on paper. Another hour to write the flask app and deploy on heroku. All in all it turned out pretty well.

Suggestions and feedback are welcome.

This integration posts a whole bunch of stuff to HipChat. The code can be cloned from https://bitbucket.org/tsudot/wrench/ happy to help with any questions.

Really awesome work on the call flow designer.

I joined Plivo exactly a year ago. We've come a long way since then. From supporting a complex conferencing platform, to insane dialer traffic. Its been a pleasure working with the team. Good job guys!

The section on your website doesn't mention much about the OS. More details would be great.

The credentials can be generated dynamically from any server side language like php, python or ruby and sent to the js. Once the call is done or after a certain time these credential can be deleted using server side APIs too.

Deleting an Endpoint - http://plivo.com/docs/api/endpoint/#delete

Yes we do. It was good meeting you at Pycon.

We also have come up with a new home page redesign.
