Not really the case. You don't need to build a Jekyll blog from scratch. Really good and fully functional templates are floating around. Just fork something like Beautiful Jekyll or AcademicPages, and edit YAMLs, and .md's to get

India is not a part of NATO. India was one of the leaders of the Non-Alignment Movement, but did certainly bend a little towards the USSR. USSR and post-USSR Russia has solidly backed India in many issues. When the US imposed bans on export

I really dislike how USA bullies people trying to buy Russian S400 anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems. S400s are effective against their best aircrafts. And they don't want other countries to have it. So they threaten sanction and

Yes. Deng was more concerned about growing silently. He cared about his people, and did not want to draw too much attention to China. I knew Xi was a textbook dictator when I heard about him banning Winnie The Pooh in Chinese internet [0].

Your point is fair. Your communication metadata, your choices, you age, gender, location, and many other things are indeed products of companies like Facebook. But in a way, you are, too. Because the mere presence of yours draws some other

A shamelessly copied and posted post was circulating LinkedIn a few days ago, and someone shared screengrabs how these bottom-feeders are copying and posting content. The content of the post makes matter worse. A bunch of recruiters posted

I find LinkedIn really cringy. And I haven't seen ONE post there that actually added value to my life. It is also toxic as hell. But I know people who got employment offers from LinkedIn. So it adds value in that sense. I just mute and

Out of date? Sure. But it still adds very valuable insights, and new perspectives. Feynman Lectures are great. Especially Vols I and II. Just because something has a community fetishizing it, it does not lose its value because of that. I re

This was my exact thought after seeing this. Selling Deep Dives? Who would pay for that? I would always trust open, free deep dives under open scrutiny and criticism more than something behind a paywall. Even if this is from Mozilla. A prem

Yes. "AI" (read Deep Learning/LogReg/SVM models) do indeed perform better given more data. I can vouch for this myself. And there was also a paper regarding this. Everyone is an expert in AI now!

Slightly tangential, but when you localize a product for India, do not automatically translate it to Hindi. Only 38% people of India has Hindi as their mother-tongue. There is strong anti-Hindi-imposition sentiment in many places of India.
