    Buying 10 yr old electronics and household items

    I have been renting a place for 5 years. The owner had provided us washing machine, fridge, one king size bed with foam mattress and one queen size bed with cotton matteress. Now the owner has sold off the house and has stopped caring for the items. The washing machine broke couple of days ago...

    WTB Fire Stick 3rd Gen

    I want to replace my Android box with a simpler TV stick version. I tried the CRED coupon but it seems the wait times on that is too long. It is currently showing 15-20 days for delivery. So, if anyone is selling please let me know.

    Yea I got it later. I don't have HDFC (which now seems like necessary), so bought it from Reliance Digital for 27,900. Though I can't find 27k anywhere.

    Union Budget 2019: Highlights, Key Takeaways; (TE members, What were your expectations???)

    It goes both ways. If you look at Infosys numbers above constant currency is at 2-3% while growth is at 7-8%. So net they are making a profit due to currency fluctuations which could be for many reasons. The other time currency growth might be completely subdued due to inaccurate hedging or...

    Union Budget 2019: Highlights, Key Takeaways; (TE members, What were your expectations???)

    You are banging on the same question which has been answered. If it is not clear - search for the term "constant currency" growth or constant dollar GDP.

    Union Budget 2019: Highlights, Key Takeaways; (TE members, What were your expectations???)

    Sometimes I wonder what goes in your mind. Only if people asked such basic questions their understanding would be much clearer. Dollar denomination doesn't work like that. Mostly it is in constant currency terms i.e. a particular rate is used as a base and then used to calculate. If you look...

    Union Budget 2019: Highlights, Key Takeaways; (TE members, What were your expectations???)

    This was a regressive budget by all means. They have huge budget shortfall because they still can't figure out GST. So they are trying everything to fill it up with desperate attempts to tax everything. As for stock markets, Jaitley introduced LTCG tax thereby destroying lots of wealth. Now...

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    Over the course of last 4 months I have made a point to read at least 2 company's annual report each year. And I have yet to encounter a company which did not slow down in FY2016-17. Not even a single one. Here's something which I was just reading in Britannia's report: "The slowdown in growth...

    The book I am reading currently

    As someone who interned at some of these places I can vouch for some of the issues in the book too. During my interns we have to reverse engineer a chemical patent and even after multiple centrifuge runs nothing happened. The company man directing our internship came and changed the numbers...

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    Because exceptions are not the rule. Please don't follow this up with asking me to prove a negatives like - why can't it work in India? As for the other thing, lets see how things go from here. The idea of recapitalisation is fine but then lets see how it gets implemented.

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    You are quoting extreme examples as a norm. Given how we are divided along bhakt vs others, situation will need to worsen a lot before anything happens. Btw, do check how many of those countries bounced back? You said many things but only quoted two and that too a conditionals - If the private...

    Don’t fall victim to GST profiteering

    Our friend @swatkats is secretly a millionaire thats why you see so many banking/tax related stuff from him. Though there are ways around this problem. One I use frequently: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    You seem to be moved away from the original point. The point was whether we can depend on social media to report/discuss on things when Modi makes a mistake. I am discounting the fact that social media is going to some kind of purveyor of truth. It is not. Social media runs on herd mentality...

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    I wouldn't put faith in social media for anything. It suffers from same problem as our media. The problem of opinions masquerading as news. Add to the fact that social media is an open for all buffet, so anyone agreeing with Modi is a bhakt and opposing side a nationalist, tensions will flare...

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    Shekar Gupta for all sense and purposes is a hack. Yesterday he was on NDTV harping on rise of Hinduism as one of the reasons for BJP win and now turns around to try and soften the narrative. But his about turn shows a rather dire scenario going forward - going forward media might get even more...

    Canara bank-PNB with 9 other banks to be merged!

    The reason I called you a half asser is because you abandoned your initial half ass statement under the guise of "simplicity" and now trying to change the topic to "why do banks need money?". You may call me stupid but that is what you call a half ass attempt at explaining a situation. There is...

    Canara bank-PNB with 9 other banks to be merged!

    If you can't clarify your thoughts, call someone stupid. Real mature! I never engage you on this forum because I know you are a half asser who likes to write wall posts for fun.

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    You can look at the result on EC's website directly: http://results.eci.gov.in/pc/en/partywise/index.htm from the result it seems BJP alone is crossing 300+ but it is better to wait for final counts.

    Canara bank-PNB with 9 other banks to be merged!

    Wow, that is a massive goal post change. Here's a recap: The original premise was that recapitilization means debt needs to be written off. I countered that adding money to the bank it doesn't mean they need to write off bad loans. They just get money to keep afloat in business. You come...
