Tipu has a very tortured legacy (to say the least). http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/bO9Ma9Sb2g4aUvIUT29fCP/Why-w...

I'm not sure if Bernie Sanders will be able to change things either, given that many of the things you're talking about require approval of the Congress. It even appears unlikely t…

Wouldn't it make more sense to bring back the jobs, if they're being done by robots anyway ? Is this because of a lack of "manufacturing environment" ? Environmental regulations ? …

Neat! Can people in the know share their experience with TeXmacs which is supposed to do very similar stuff ?

... and destroy its propaganda value ? Have you forgotten the basics of Hinduphobia 101 ? @adevine: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/suhag-a-shukla-esq/how-the-nyt...

Nation \neq Civilization. If I were a fish, I'd want not to be eaten. I don't care two bits whether I'm fried in margarine or in butter (to paraphrase Nehru). Enough said.

Apparently many more Bengalis died during WWII than the Jews. And this when we were supposedly "allies". The British were just as inhuman as the Nazis. Indeed, many people are than…

"तम आसीत्तमसा गूहळमग्रे" :)

Really ? What about Bellevue or Redmond ? Are you now going start talking shit about the Microsoft CEO ? I'm getting annoyed with this morbid Hinduphobia. It's poverty for god's sa…

I think this is also true of Middle eastern countries where Indians are apparently forced to live in ghettos outside cities.

Agreed. It's actually much worse, because the ruling native elite in India think of themselves as being more related to the British culturally than to India itself! This kind of mi…

Wow, Quartz defending a fellow Hinduphobe's views! Man something has gone awfully wrong with the Monsoons.

Metallurgy ? Mathematics ? Boat-Building ? Textiles ? This book has been an eye-opener, https://archive.org/details/DharampalCollectedWritingsIn5Vol...

You'd be surprised by the number of anglicized Indians who'd claim exactly that of the parent. That the British (and the Mughals before them) were a "blessing" on the subcontinent.…

I'm sure that helps you think well of yourself. Thankfully the British kept a meticulous record of the beautiful civilization they destroyed with utmost cruelty. India was much mor…

:) Ah, colonialization and its many wonders!

Fixed. Also such posts tend to get downvoted all the way down to hell, if that tells you anything.

Oh come on. The issues that are constantly being dredged out by NyT and Wpost, tend predominantly to be endemic to North India. Why ? Because the governance in North India has hist…

The Indian state inherited from the British of course. I don't know if there is a conscious effort in this regard, but I'm convinced that it has been continuously waging class war …

The conditions are because the rural economy has deliberately been kept very weak. You can't blame poor people for trying to make a living. Go outside of your big cities to see the…

This is a genuine question: why can't they outsource their software devel ?

Sure - but that's not what the OP is referring to. There is no "sync" step in multiple parallel chains, unlike particle swarm & genetic algorithms. MCMC is also used for finding MA…

It is a multivariate (co-ordinate wise) version of MH. You can paralleize it because the Bayes net allows a decomposition of the p.d. I feel like while your comment on Global-optim…

One of the parallelized versions is Gibbs sampling that is used for sampling from Bayesian networks. In this case you don't even need a proposal distribution; neither would you nee…
