(unsolicited) Feedback: Why are there other people on my CV? Who are they to begin with? And when a recruiter is looking at my CV, I don't want them clicking on other people.

I think we'll have to do this on our own and not rely on Hollywood or studios from the west. Bahubali was probably a good start. But more needs to be done. I'm starting to wonder whether it's a question of talent or question of capital. I seriously hope it's the latter.

People aren't coming here for learning (not the first priority), rather a college education is the gateway to a high paying job in the US and it's lifestyle.

Looking for something in sub $500 range.

Ask HN: Good Cheaper Alternatives to Apple Thunderbolt Display?

swamy_g — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 19:49:48 +0000

It's time to change my 8 year old monitor. I use a chinese make monitor that is really good, but sadly doesn't have HDMI or thunderbolt/USB options.

Looking for a 4k, 27inch monitor, with at least HDMI/USB-C connectivity.

Apple displays are great, but they are expensive. Any alternatives you would recommend?

(P.S. Not looking for Ultrawide monitors)

Well said. Anxiety is sometimes a signal that there's an underlying imbalance in your life. Just like you start tearing up when you feel sad. Crying isn't bad in that scenario.

Anxiety works similarly. You gotta start asking yourself, why am I feeling anxious? Where could my life be out of balance?

Ask HN: How to write copy that converts?

swamy_g — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 17:58:09 +0000

I sell online courses (related to mental health). Most of my content is free, and this is the only thing I sell.

I'd like to know if there are any good resources (books/articles or just wisdom etc) that have helped you.

How important is copy on your landing page? And what are some tips that helped you convert more?

There's a documentary called Forest of Bliss about Varanasi. It's a non-narrative documentary (the best kind). From it's imdb page:

A look at daily life in the city of Benares (another name of Varanasi), India, one of the most religious places in the country.

It's streaming free on Prime (https://smile.amazon.com/Forest-Bliss-Robert-Gardner/dp/B01M...)

What are you talking about? There are so many legit people offering legit services there. Yes, many of them are first timers, but their site clearly lets you choose people based on reviews and ratings.

People in US are scared of the police? I am from India and have been in US for a while now and have never been scared of the cops (unlike my time in India).
