It's sad to be in "the other cultural circle", isn't it? Imagine that in western Europe a number of theorems by eastern European mathematicians is known by the name of the western professor who would propagate it... Also: I feel there should be a comma in the sentence above, but can't figure out where to put it :/

  I understand what you're trying to convey and agree. I thought you might not have noticed the email address of the authors. Two of the authors' email addresses are of IIT Delhi, one of the universities managed by the Government of India. So these authors are in "the other cultural circle" too. One in which there's more than 10 times competition in the educational system for funding, compared to not only western and European counterparts but the Japanese one too, which the parent comment I think is/was a part of. Not just funding for cool projects. There is a very dire need for good universities but higher education in a good university is very difficult to have.

  I think you want to use commas to set off "in Western Europe". I think it's referred to as an "aside".

you rock! So what do the threads do when they are idle? Don't you put them to sleep?

Do you suggest that they've used your findings without referencing you? You can make an inquiry I believe. Other than that, if their method is completely different or they've arrived to the same solution independently - there is nothing wrong. It is not about the competition who was first, isn't it?

  I think that in this day and age we ought to have a way to share knowledge so that we aren't repeating the same (completed) research unknowingly. In maths it is thought to be beneficial to come up with a diferent proof of the same theorem though, so maybe in computing the similar idea that coming up with another implementation/demonstration/proof has value too
