   Second this. They're genuinely amazing, with IIT professors teaching their subjects (for engineering). It's basically Indian OCW.

   That is a wonderful channel, I can attest to that. Superb content, and he's focused on one thing - testing, reviewing and recommending game development tools.

   I trust them personally. Jon von Tetzchner, the founder of Opera, left Opera to start Vivaldi once he felt management wasn't doing things the right way.

   Hi! Not sponsored or anything, but if you want a separate search bar, Vivaldi (vivaldi.com) has that. Just thought it might help.

   We should have something like the Wikipedia list of lists of lists, sorted by HN submissions on several topics.

   Surprisingly for me, it's the other way around! Equations build intuition in my case, although I'm not sure why.

    I get at what you're saying, but I figured I could give it a shot since he replied to my thread :)

    >How much would it cost the Indian government to develop detailed coaching videos by IIT professors and upload it for free to YouTube? That's EXACTLY what they did. Look at IIT-PAL on YouTube.

    In the JEE, you generally assume the range to be the distance the projectile covers before reaching the launch height again, unless specified otherwise.

    You have to assume the angle of projection is 45 degrees, in which case the range of the projectile becomes (u^2/g). (Since Range = (u^2)(sin2(theta))/g) Hope I helped!

    Hi! I'm a JEE aspirant - is there any way I could contact you to have a bit of a chat? Of course, only if you're kind enough to accept - I'll understand if you don't, however :)

    I'm sure you'd enjoy What is Mathematics? by Robbin and Courant. Take a look at it, hope it's kind of what you're looking for.

    It's interesting to note that Ramanujan also completed SL Loney's books on Coordinate Geometry and Trigonometry before he turned 12. These books are today used by almost every aspirant in the IIT-JEE, the engineering entrance exam

    You could set up a Zapier integration with Ghost (ghost.org). Use Zapier to publish every Mailchimp newsletter as a Ghost article maybe? Hope I helped.

    Wikipedia is one of, if not the best thing(s) to happen to the internet. It achieved basically what the internet's aim was: to democratize information. Even when I have to learn something, ANYTHING, I'll go to Wikipedia, after whi

    While the article is correct in pointing out the government's complacency over Covid-19, I'm not sure whether mass gatherings were the reason for the second wave. Of course, mass gatherings in such a period are stupid and will onl

    I was trying to point out how high tuition for universities is. I'm not sure if this is a US-specific problem, so I won't comment on that, but my point was universities receive so much money to conduct research, and then put that

    So if I understood correctly, it's more about using the name of the journal as a verification of the study the scientist is doing, since the person funding them probably won't understand the research. Am I right?

    I'm not sure I understand the concept of paid access to scientific research, so I'd be grateful if someone with more knowledge of the topic could explain it to me. Governments fund universities, people donate large amounts of mone
