Those three books talk about the 1500-1700 Nayaka rule, languages in 1700-1800 and the third book's summary says it talks about the 12th-14th centuries. That doesn't qualify as evidence of anything. Here is what I'd pay to learn about - 1)

As a history amateur, it is painful to force myself never to probe into south indian history [of which I've heard so much, growing up there] simply because I've learned by experience that it only leads to frustration and disappointment at t

If you accept that facebook was worth $100 billion, and if you accept that instagram was a credible threat to facebook, then it follows that instagram was perhaps worth 1% of facebook. Reddit is not facebook's or google's threat so its valu

Marginally relevant story: A few months ago I was trying to get my siblings interested in "doing things with computers". I decided to do this by showing them how powerful a few lines of code could be. I had already tried to get them into pr

This article is a piece of uninteresting, content-free, gossipy garbage and I'm not sure why it was voted to the front page. This guy doesn't like Ballmer and he writes a book about it and that's news?

I'm a woman, this happens to me (not very often but that might be because I've worked in this industry only for two years) and whenever it does, I just say something horribly cold. One day I had a pretty watch on, and a male coworker said "

"They probably shouldn't quote the line that made everyone mad (it will make the readers mad all over again)." That doesn't sound very honest, and I thought the post was about being honest while apologizing. I think quoting the offensive li

I'm sad that Steve has died and do not mean to be disrespectful. That line touched me too, and a moment later I realized that his sister said it and she is a writer.

I was looking for more details, too. I don't mean that I suspect the OP of falsehood. It's simply that I'm a woman in a male-dominated field, and many people have asked me if I've ever faced prejudice at work, and I've always had to say no.

1. The food is not available 24/7. There are snacks 24/7 but not the "famous food program". 2. Not all of it is totally free. There are paid breakfast services in some offices.

I want to move to Silicon Valley and my cofounder doesn't. He says it's 1. expensive and 2. full of shortsighted startups that are really features, and people who start startups because they find it glamorous. It seems to me like it's impos

I used to wonder about this. There are skills that require hard work and brains. Some people seem to find themselves "in their element" when they are mastering or using these skills (Roger Federer, for example). Some of those skills pay, an

I meant proof-of-falsehood for myself. That is, I knew vaguely that a lot of things that were written in that article were not quite true, but I didn't have facts that showed them to be false, except for the quote in my original post. I did

Off-topic but... In India, if you look like an Indian, you can pay $20 and get a passport with obviously-faked documents. You can get a driver's license for $5 without ever driving anything. If you are a woman, it's the simplest thing to ta

I have access but I looked and found no invite button. Also, I don't find all Googlers in there, which is weird because I'm one of most lowly Googlers (new, young).
