I am surprised Meta took this aggressive approach considering they automatically populate autogenerated public pages with content drawn from Wikipedia whenever available (at least thats how it looks, with a tiny attribution to the source. B

I think what you're referring more concretely is the difference between Balance of trade vs. Balance of payments , the latter being the addition of tertiary/financial sector. For an export driven economy like Japan, Germany or

Confirming that it works. At 77 pages its a small book which I could hopefully go over in 2-3 days toying around. I already read the frontmatter & it looks friendly. Thank you for updating downloads on the Leanpub side. You should consi

Just a gentle headsup: Looks like this suggestion doesn't work, since Leanpub annual membership is added automatically to this purchase, as being part of some bundle. Typically I wouldn't mind paying it if I knew what I would be g

I, for one, really liked G+. The linux community was very active. So was mostly all kinds of specific DIY discussion forums. Hobbyist & hacking forums too. For me the visually appealing part was the historical timeline visualization (po

Yes but it doesn't answer why rsync & checksum pass the set of files as same, but diff reports them different.

Minor nitpick: India Times operates its own portal, which includes news, astrology, classifieds etc. It has much lesser footfall & lighter than Times Of India, which runs as a separate internet entity. A lot of the assets (news, photos,

I think an ever bigger evil is companies who do not calibrate their Leetcode type tests to their hiring needs. I was given a take-home test few years ago by a well-to do medical software company based out of Verona, WI. Their programming te

At some point we (researchers & scientists) should draw the line between correlation & causation. That there is 40% less incidence in flu vaccinated patients is established by observation, but is it due to flu vaccine by itself or f

Sadly, in a downturn VCs seem to back their connections (most likely their alma maters) when making choices. It is a bit obvious if you think: They choose ideas which have been pitched by people within 2-3 degrees of connection if they went
