Indian govt, like any other, provides a lot of subsidy to the needed. They have some programs and funds to do this. However, most of the funds don't reach people who need them. Why - too many middlemen, corruption, etc. Through this program they are trying to cut the middlemen or at least hoping to. Most other forms of ids can be faked, these possible in Bond movies but difficult in India.
1) never forget Indian ingenuity to break systems. Jugaad is the proper term.
2) the data itself is being faked already. In this thread there is a first hand account of people going to villages and making duplicate UID cards. 2 separate cards for each hand.
3) data has already been lost and stolen
4)overlaps. The current system already has some thing like 1 million to .1 million overlaps from one set of calculations I recall. On top of that you have overlap everytime a new generation gets added to the database.
Do you want to be the person with a faulty card in india? Do you want to see what happens to poor people who have no access to the net?
We have some team members who aren't so command line savvy(don't ask why). I recommend source tree to them and they are quite happy with it (which means others can work without interrupts). It's a decent app for basic/everyday things.
* Shameless plug * We are working on app that aims to make collaboration with Git extremely simple. It's targeted towards people like your coworkers. Essentially, the idea is to forget about the complexities of version control and to just focus on your work. You can learn a bit more here: http://gitpilot.com
French parents learned to ignore, say no to their kids from their parents who learned from their parents and so on. In other words - it might be in their culture. I grew up in India and do find a lot of similarities in my upbringing - our egos were not always served, maybe 30% of times. We had family in US and I noticed - kid's egos in their families were served 90% of the times. As mentioned in the article, kids were ruling their life...whereas in my family it was the other way around. Did it make any difference in the lives of those kids or mine - that's a different topic. My point here is maybe American parents were told to over parent. By whom - not sure, but could be babies r us, or mattelle sponsored studies, or ads on TV to promote products, etc.
I think that saying no to kids is one of the most important things you can do to help them. Too many of the kids my kids grew up with never heard the word no during their childhood because their parents wanted to give them everything they did have while growing up. They ended up being spoiled brats and got even worse once the school system in the USA got a hold of them and told them what unique individuals they were. Disappointment is a part of life and how to handle it is something that should be learned early in life.
technology is here to help us live better, so maybe there is an app for this in future? someone works diligently to study child habits from different countries - developed or not and categorizes parenting styles. As a user one can ask the app - which parenting style the action you just took for your child's demand/question fall under, which can help you determine future implications, whether you should have done something else (the app doesnt tell you....but knowledge and data can guide you). I would read these and feed my brain.
The 'path' seems to be of a solid programmer/consultant. If you are going to work in a team then I would add 'improving teamwork skills'. This mainly involves respecting others in the team and focusing on team's success. These things go a long way and you will get a chance to work with developers in different areas of the company and contribute towards interesting projects.
Spring offers some if the features to JAVA, that these newer languages have. Spring annotations lessens the XML configuration, none at times, it's AOP jar allows passing methods to methods as in some of the functional types, etc. Problem is people haven't updated their codebase and continue maintaining the old XMLs.
See how this is great for people in finance and law - they get big firms into bidding wars, end up paying a large number and eventually end up filing infringement suits to get back the $$$$ spent.
