An average person doesn't need to directly access the data. As long as journalists or researchers can, an avg person could rely on their analysis/opinion instead.

For comparison, I used to be a very average, but pretty regular user about 5 years ago. I could reliably solve easiest 2 out of 5 problems, 3 in my lucky days. My rating is 1562.

Sorry, but this seems too strange to be true. Are you sure you didn't miss anything? Particularly strange since moving train (i.e. vehicle) is about the most common way doppler eff…

If a movie has won an oscar, I used to count that as negative. Generally avoided nobel winners' books. Interesting how things have changed in just 7-8 years (I'm 25).

Why would someone want to game a negative result? Nobody ever becomes famous for saying my approach doesn't work. (As long as science is open, to make sure there is actually good w…

And then there were "phantom soldiers"- it's the practice where officers would just create non-existent soldiers to pocket their salary.

I think you're overestimating Pakistan's capability. It gave Taliban leaders shelter at their worst moment, and that is about the only leverage ISI had. The moment Taliban started …

No, born and raised in BD, never left.

Because things aren't so bad. I live in Bangladesh, now, and I don't think we're much improvement over India (except the caste problem). I once witnessed the aftermath of a policem…

I'm hesitant to call the slum population "homeless". We have people in the parks, footpaths too, and that's very different from people living in many of these slums. Here are a few…

Here in Dhaka, we pay around 45usd/month for 1.5hr of work per day.
