Ha! I'm from there and it's always interesting to see the flag get butchered in a variety of ways across the internet and in real life. The procedure for drawing the flag is outlined in the constitution and there's a popular

On Android, Youtube Vanced ( https://vancedapp.com/ ) is the best solution, in my experience. Used it for multiple years, no complaints.

uBlock Origin blocks in-video ads too! Not sure if this has been referenced elsewhere in the comments but their 'element picker' mode is also fantastic and extremely useful in making webpages with huge banners and popups less anno

This might be the first time that I've seen someone who's used both WYSISYG and TeX pick the former. If you don't mind, how proficient are you in TeX? As someone mentioned in another thread, the formatting in Word and other s

Thank you! I submitted a paper to a conference this week but my advisor does not use LaTeX. You can imagine the suffering I had to go through during the draft process. It's such a PAIN! to have to work on Word for any kind of scientifi

If you don't mind anecdata: I'm in the third year of my PhD and would classify myself as an average hard worker compared to my peers. It is highly improbable for someone to work three times as hard as an average PhD in any half-de

I don't see what's wrong with saying "I have a PhD". It's equivalent to what (I think) you're saying: "I have a few qualifications (pertaining to research)".

Curiously, most econ folks seem to miss this. More likely: they conveniently ignore it when it suits their ends or when writing opinionated pieces after they've "made it".

Does anyone have info regarding their naming? Another commentator mentioned the bird in Hindu mythology but I'm curious why they chose that name. They also have a ||Shree|| at the top of their webpages.
