With a brief look at the alternatives, Tresorit [1] looks quite nice with their encryption features.

I haven't heard of bpython before, but I believe Jupyter/IPython is quite popular, and now supports syntax highlighting too [1].

I spent nearly 15 minutes on the parse website but still can't figure out what it does. All I see is that it's an open source version of the Parse API. But what is the Parse API?

Since you've used it before, would you care to elaborate on what the Parse API does?

Fascinating! This has been a month of big archaeological discoveries.

There was also a similar recent discovery [1] in India of a large urban settlement that existed around the same time as the Indus Valley Civilization

In terms of architecture, it's entirely different. Rather than being a centralized service (like mattermost), Matrix is a decentralized protocol that can be federated across servers. And vector.im is just one (web) interface for using this protocol.

It just happens that it can be used for similar things that Slack can. It's more like IRC (but distributed/federated)

I really like the privacy features of TheOldReader.com -- especially their commitment so far to have no tracking (with cookies etc.) or user data harvesting to serve ads. They do have some select sponsored ads for the free-tier, but done without any such tracking [1].

Just to be clear, when you say "Asian", do you mean east asian, south asian or both? I'm inclined to assume you mean east asian because of your body odour comment.

Nepal has also been slowly transitioning to a democracy since 2006 (with a little help from India), albeit from a monarchy and not from a dictatorship. They recently adopted a new constitution [1] with some controversies surrounding it. But overall, it seems like there aren't any strong trends there to revert back to a non-democratic government.

I think the OP means the single main difference is "Python 3 makes it easier to develop high quality software." and gives three examples of this.

There is also a SpiNNaker computer platform [1]

One of the books that I personally found easy to read with good exercises is Probability and Statistics by Morris H. DeGroot, Mark J. Schervish

One hypothesis that I have to explain why India is doing reasonably well in terms of economic growth in spite of the pervasive corruption is that the civil services, full of really really smart and driven people, are getting things done, and done right, in spite of the incompetence and disinterest of politicians.

Or maybe I've been watching one too many episodes of "Yes Minister".

I'm not sure if you're implying that the population growth rate of India is very high, but if you are that's not true anymore. It's actually very close to replacement levels with parts of India where it's actually below replacement levels [1]

I think you're being a bit cynical, and detracting from the point of the article. Yes in this particular case democracy didn't work so well. But the takeaway is that such a large group of people were not only OK with having a transgender as a mayor. That is good news anywhere.

But that's the point. Authorship is being sold, but there is no indication for or against on whether the studies are actually being done by somebody. Is it possible that the people doing the actual research are simply not getting the credit? Maybe only some snippets are plagiarised and not the entire study?

Yes. Ideally history taught in schools should present all sides in an unbiased manner without leaving parts out and go all the way to the present. But it happens all too often that parts of history are left out because of political agendas, ignorance, or lack of data. My understanding of the article is that the auther is pointing out one part of history that is consistently not taught (but should be).

I think what the author is saying is that the history taught in schools and colleges should not omit the part about the how the lands were acquired from the native americans.

Context: Apparently some users were hosting pro-IS content on these sites [1]

This smacks of incompetence and idiocy. It is clear that a lot of people in the government do not understand how the internet works, and what these sites do. (They probably do not understand that these sites contain user generated content)

And there is also some evidence that open offices don't necessarily foster closer relationship among employees. [1]

The title should add "as compared to black americans in the same situation"

Most of the banks allow direct transfer to another (international) account with a BIC and IBAN number. Western Union is also an option, albeit expensive.

"It's not really an issue that warrants a lot of study."

And why do you think that? Is it because we already have a lot of research already on this topic, or do you think good data from research is unnecessary?

Nice job! If I may ask, what percentage of the postings come directly from companies vs automatically filtering out non-english jobs? (I understand if you don't want to disclose this information)

Not a major thing, but "questions" is misspelt in the title text.

I wonder how hard it would be to extend it for Austria.
