    The problem with universities is they create a self fulfilling prophecy, one that most students graduating from their will support, willingly or unwillingly, for their own benefit.…

    I guess they meant 3km through uneven ground in a forest.

    Mumbai is one of those places where the sea dumps all it's waste. Of course, a lot of it must have been generated by Mumbai itself, but some must also be coming from elsewhere.

    Doesn't matter if it's 1 y/o or 10y/o. All plastic bags are banned.

    A few clarifications, 1. It's not Mumbai banning plastics, the state of Maharashtra has done so. I live in another district of the same state. 2. Maharashtra is the 18th state to d…

    Extradiction would be unlikely for such crime(even cases of terrorism can take years for extradiction, or may not even take place). But it would be possible to get them arrested in…

    I can buy apples at a somewhat objective price by comparing the price provided by other sellers in nearby stores. Also the price will be mostly affected by supply vs demand. OTOH, …

    Never heard of any bias towards phone. If anything, people prefer email as it leaves a trail.

    I have heard of another proverb, which translates to "If you throw peanuts, only monkeys will gather".

    TLDR: The best go to US, the next best to MNCs and startups, the rest are the ones you get when you pay peanuts. Here's how Indian engineers get jobs. The very top(maybe 0.01%) get…

    Indian here. We don't lie. If you ask me if I am a female, I'd obviously won't answer yes to that. The problem is that it's considered rude to say no when asked to complete a task …

    There are 3 different movements. One is for acknowledgement, other two are for yes and no.

    I think a better strategy than trying to be rich is, 1. First decide what is the median lifestyle that you want to live. Then decide how much it costs. 2. Next decide what are the …

    I think you are confusing between specialization, and a degree in sub-branch. A degree in CS is always valued more than a degree in say IT. On the other hand, a degree in CS with s…

    You can use scatter plot to check that. Maybe copy the html, convert to csv ( http://convertcsv.com/html-table-to-csv.htm ), map the corresponding values and plot. R should be able…

    The "you are the product" model might work, but given that most ad-blockers also block trackers(or dare I say, most people want to block trackers, ads are just collateral damage), …

    Before 90s with all those protections, Indian companies had become sloths. The economy was in bad shape and the govt had no option but to open up for foreign investors/companies. I…

    Why though? Is there some useful benefit that python offers over C++, or is it just another language support so that people more comfortable with Python could use it? If I were eve…

    If anyone wants to try this release for C and C++ languages, I have created a Docker image based on Alpine Linux, which you may use. https://hub.docker.com/r/infinitecoder/gcc/tags…

    Keep treatment free only for accidental injuries or harm caused by third parties. If a country has cheap treatment though, they could earn a lot through medical tourism.

    It's not about anonymizing, it's about hiding under the mask of some other entity, without their(other entity's) permission. AWS's other customers and various governments won't be …

    The problem is not that your endpoint had side effect. Rather, it didn't have any side effect(it is supposed to unsub, and it does exactly that). The problem is with lack of authen…

    The ordering for interview process seems to be wrong, or is it an unordered list? Also, I'd like to know what "Social Economic Justice Round" is. Is it a round where you preferably…
