The native empire you mentioned, Maurya Empire abandoned the conquest through war because of the whole Kalinga episode. Ashoka was far more interested in spreading the morals around after that, so much that his son became one of the messeng

Is there any recommended reading you have on this? In general, all the foreign conquests that succeeded in India even later were when it was fragmented into smaller kingdoms.

Is the english translation good enough or reading it in Sanskrit is recommended? If yes, any translation that you recommend?

Other than his works, he was the prime minister in Maurya empire, credited with its rise. Maurya empire is considered to be one of the greatest Indian empires along with Guptas(known for progress in science, medicine) and Cholas(mercantile

If we judge any ancient work by our current morals, we would most likely be left wanting. This book was written almost 2500 years back.

Even if that is true, do you deny that they are search engines themselves. Siri, Alexa etc are even more opaque as they don't give a list of results, rather have deep integration to their own services and can't even be replaced by

But aren't fats calorie dense as well. Just 10g of Pecan is about 7g of fat and 70 calories. So even though you are consuming less in weight, it is more calorie dense. Cookies are not even a good carb source and I doubt any diet will h

Do Alexa, Siri and all the new ways of searching count as search engines?

I am a bit confused, is this not applicable on FB? FB's ad revenue is now probably > 0.5 * Google's.

Was there any reason that keto diets became popular? In my personal experience a diet high in proteins with overall calorific deficit works the best. Carbs seem to keep me more energetic, workouts are better and I have much more options on

It is, but for PRC, US is a major export partner, they can't really cut them off without themselves suffering too. So, US can afford to go on offensive there. Also, US does have technological capability to build the things they import

Does app ban really have any material impact on citizens? Not having access to medicines or say equipment used in your power plants will.

The election results had him at ~80% votes, if he is really rigging elections, would he really go for such unrealistic numbers. If I have just 40% support, I might go for showing it to be about 55%, so that it at least looks close. I think

Not that I don't believe you, but how would you back such statement when you say "majority".

Not import restrictions, more like export restrictions, just to make the other suffer. Wiki infobox suggests that they just have 3% exports to India, they can choose to take that hit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco

Has PRC also started it? It would be interesting if they go after critical components like semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, machinery etc.

Yeah, as far as country subs go that is one of the most toxic ones. I tried to use it for some travel advice but what I noticed was just sheer negativity and an echo chamber where any contrarian opinion is suppressed. I wonder if the irony

I think this might be related to the Tibetan origin special forces soldier of Indian Army being killed in some recent altercation with PRC on their northern border.[1] I do think India is going on a slippery slope now. With Tiktok, one can

Xinjiang is actually a better equivalent to Kashmir, not Hong Kong. Depending on what you read, separatism in both places is either fuelled by fundamentalist ideologies or right for self determination. Kashmir is far more tricky though base

Unethical but I won't be surprised if that is exactly what's happening. Once you have the media, you just need a person to chat up and insert that media. For all we know, that can be a dude. For content as well, you can scrape oth

I was talking about the males who are paying, not the female performers. They definitely should be able to get attention, and for them from an economic opportunity perspective this makes complete sense.

But is paid attention worth it, wouldn't it end up making you feel hollow once that interaction is over and you realize how made up the whole thing was.

I know of a friend who spends a lot of money on this platform. I was baffled by the amounts he ends up spending, ~5% of his monthly income. He doesn't have that high a disposable income, so it made no sense to me, considering I can&#x2

Yeah, I really liked when Pixel integrated the phone number bit into dialer itself. I can start typing a business name and it just pulls in from Google maps. The iPhone I have now is a work phone, so don't use maps a lot, should see if

Any specific reason why? In my personal experience Google Maps has better navigation data, better place information and overall much better maps. The user contributed content makes the platform such a pleasure to use even if you are in remo

I would disagree, sure botnets can't be used for threatening life directly; but botnets have been proven to be quite effective in attacking services and do denial of services attacks. The one thing we can take from botnets is, vulnerab

I don't think this would be true just for developing world. Till the whole Tiktok-Trump thing started, did teens using Tiktok even knew where the owner was from. It has an English name, English language localization.
