It is a well known fact that Wikipedia has bias in how articles are moderated[1]. It is a really bad example to emulate. The last thing you want is search to be controlled by a non-profit organization with bias towards the content. I rather

This functionality can be misused by your competitor(s)! There already is the issue of companies fraudulently clicking on search and display ads just to damage the advertising budget of competitors. This would only open up another dimension

But you can't use a mobile to play CTF in the first place. It would be over engineering if they made the page usable on a mobile for absolutely no reason. Some of the stages in the CTF require you to download zip files and mount DMG&#x

The only negative sentiment around Jio is that Jio isn't available in certain remote corners of India (only if you are travelling to remote villages) and that Jio GigaFiber (the FTTH solution) hasn't be deployed yet (The infrastru

Intellectual curiosity is good to have and always welcome but when you start your intellectual exploration by labelling people as "charlatans" then the term loses its purpose altogether. The reason being that you have already made

The problem with your argument is that neither Sadguru nor Ravi Shankar call themselves Saints. They both call themselves Guru or Teacher. Sadguru qualifies it by calling himself a Yogi. I don't understand how you can assume stuff like

Yep! Not to take away from what you said (which is absolutely true) the author does mention hitting profitability (assuming it is in 2018).

This is brilliant! Learning should not be a competitive. EDIT: Why would you want to have children compete with each other on learning abilities? How does it help anyone? If a child is going to take a tad bit longer to understand than anoth

I thought you talked about physical infrastructure (roads and highways) needed for cars to ply on. After re-reading your comment I realised you are talking about infrastructure needed specifically for electric cars (like charging stations).

Obviously it was! Why else would it be changed to remove Hindi being compulsory and only talk about 3 language formula? The only daftness in this process was that the entire Government machinery had to be put in force just to allay the fear

This was just a draft. The Centre keeps getting drafts of various policies every single day. Most of them never see the light of the day. Drafts are made to get people talking about and changes are made as necessary. An example of that is t

What does that have to do with the topic at hand? I am talking about irrational hatred for a language. Not about how a language can be misused. The misuse of language is secondary. What is the point of knowing about slang and cant if you ar

That is a really bad analogy. Germany is a country. Europe is a continent. Germany is part of Europe not the other way round. India is a country. Tamil Nadu is a state inside the country called India. Tamil Nadu is not greater than India. N

Exactly! We can leave the unionising of the Indian subcontinent to a future generation that has risen above language, religious and ethnic divides and embraced common culture. Until then, it would be futile and foolish to unite diametricall
