Not really a problem. If the passenger decided not to fly the last leg, that seat would go empty but the airline won't lose money on that leg.. it has already been paid for. So there is no real loss to them.

Red language is, to an extent, a declarative programming language - especially for the UI.

The old fashioned approach of using a database server in a co-hosted setup with a locally hosted storage on SSD with another couple of servers in active or standby type of replication is the best option for the db side. The rest of the stat

What about releasing it like how Node.js was released? that is a full web platform but one which uses Python instead of Javascript? and with a repository for packages which people can download and use or even contribute to? Ultimately unles

If you released this as a node.js type app which can be run directly on the user's desktop and accessible via the browser for some setup functions and via an editor like VSCode etc for the source code editing, this could be a great pro

Nice product but it may have been better to release this as a opensource product because there will always be a fear that if your company goes bottoms-up, those companies who used your platform will be left high and dry.

Its ridiculous. It is not even a dumb phone let alone a smart phone. There is no SIM, no cellular modem, no Wifi, no net connectivity of any kind.

There are ways of reversing climate change - for instance, by increasing the area under vegetation (which reduces temperatures, reverses desertification etc). But the issue is that these methods are not being pursued for whatever reasons.

The number of terrorist attacks has only increased after demonitisation. There is no evidence whatsoever for even a single point made in support of demonitisation. The use of cash has increased, counterfeiting of notes is still high, terror

The increase in the tax base in 2016-17 was 14% which is exactly the same as from 2013-14. That is to say that the tax base did not increase dramatically after demonitisation.

Total BS. The announcement of the demonisation by Modi repeatedly mentioned removing black money from the system. There wasn't a single mention of moving to a digital economy. When the blackmoney angle failed, the BJP govt started talk

The best way to judge your theory that the overseas investors are so very optimistic about India is to simply follow the money. Contrary to what you are saying, the data actually says that there is a huge outflow of funds from India. https

Not really. There was never a single kingdom which encompassed the whole of India as it geographically exists. Never in history.

India has always had conflicts between communities with 100s of individual kingdoms and warlords - some were vassals to bigger kingdoms. The modern day revisionist history tries to paint India as some sort of a united, utopia before the com

You should know that the e-way bill system is applicable to end customers as well - if the value of goods that you are transporting in your private vehicle exceeds Rs.50,000, you are liable to get an E-way bill prepared! Think I am joking?

You should read up on the e-way bill system that has been introduced. It is a total nightmare. Do you realise that under this law even ordinary citizens have to generate e-way bills if they transport anything valued at over Rs.50,000 in the

The Crystal-language based Amber Framework ( https://amberframework.org/ ) is a good framework to use if you want to ramp up a web application with a backend database and a full MVC stack in next to no time. It also helps tha
