The main problem tesla is working on solving is energy density ( weight of batteries ) and time to charge the batteries upto 75-80% ( 250 mile range) quickly via super-charger network. For India :- 1. You can't simply carry that much dead weight in autos/two wheelers around. It simply doesn't work t...

Some food for thought here http://ajayshahblog.blogspot.in/2013/10/who-afraid-of-big-current-account.html We should run a non-profligate government & allow deep linkages between international finance & India. Funding CAD is no longer a problem then via a deep open market ( it is not easy to ...

I have always wondered if the Microprocessor Chips that form the core of computing,are not pre-programmed to send regular packets of information, to its manufacturer, who could be sharing the data with the Manufacturing country's Intelligence agency? Eg: Intel would pass on the data to CIA. The inf...

If as you say India is not relevant and I can understand your view point - then how does India make itself relevant in its own Neighbourhood? Impose anti-terror tax of equivalent to amount of aid( military or civil it all ends up in jihadi hands ) to napak on all imports from 3.5 friends except raw...

Looks like we don't need external enemies to conduct DDoS attacks on our Internet. Our CERT-IN & DoT are rather well qualified to do the same. Talk about self-goals. While we should be inviting oppressed nationalities in China-Pak to host their content in India the GoI seems hell bent on pushing...

Perhaps they should focus their effort on building a capability to fight back rather than meekly surrender to the threat.

If the Europeans are willing to transfer and give technology to India for high-speed railway, then India could do that in that way also.

Let me recap my position on the UID project:- 1. It could be useful but so would be fixing existing systems at a much lower cost. 2. If it has to be done, focus on lowering the cost without compromising on usefulness of the systems, it is possible by involving engineers into the system design which ...

tarun

If you think the existing system has to be fixed, why don't you share your views about how can GOI go about fixing the system. Lets say if you are given the task to improve PAN service. What you will do? I would really like to hear that and thats no sarcasm. Most problems in systems arise because o...

Try visiting Ongole in AP. I had been to a village in Ongole, where the whole village has a single well and only 2 or 3 families have electricity.

DRDO regularly hires contractors and outsources work (basically uses software firms as headhunters). There are a large number at CAIR, DARE, and at their sister orgs.

Tarun , How easy will it be for a country like US/Russia/Israel to have a dormant hardware or software based kill switch on military hardware we import from them.

Summarizing the viewpoints I heard on forums including this one regarding the new OS, rumored be developed by DRDO:- 1.

Well they already have an OS from C-DAC BOSS , there is no need to reinvent the wheel. The SELinux thing I heard it just too complicated stuff to work with.

So let them fix that first instead of building more broken systems. Lending an IT honcho's name to a project doesn't suddenly make far better than other GOI driven projects. Thats what exactly they are trying to do. The way to fix PAN card database is to introduce some kind of unique identity, whic...

Even if they share space with other government offices, they will need staff trained on UID procedures and equipment. I imagine that salaries for these people will come out of UID budget.

I see such blogs coming 1 a million every other day. Whats the point?

No, that should be be part of the spend on the local UID offices they will have to maintain. But they don't have to reinvent the wheel here, and if they do, it would be better to wait until the infrastructure is in place. Using the cell phone network would definitely be cheaper than using VSAT term...

It seems you don't have even the slightest idea of the inefficiency involved in PAN card and other databases controlled by GOI. I would recommend research a bit.

Interesting and amazing how you reached to that figures. You mean to say its easy to run 1 million finger-print digital record against 1 billion existing records is easy?
