That was very helpful, thank you!

Sounds good!

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 in India. I'm trying to complete them, they're genuinely wonderful books. I believe they are also available on archive.org, although I use print editions.

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 which I read the sources of the article for in depth research. And while I dislike their political articles a lot, the science, math, history and arts articles are genuinely incredible to read.

Thank you!

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 only lead to a huge amount of cases and deaths, but India had already crossed 100,000 cases a day well before the Kumbh, driven by 70,000 cases a day in the state of Maharashtra, where there were no political rallies and the state has nothing to do with the Kumbh.

I'd be happy to understand why this is so from someone with a deeper understanding of the situation.

That's an interesting fact, thanks!

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 very research behind extremely expensive paywalls.

If what you said is correct (which I'm sure it is), it's only reduced my understanding (in a good way - thank you for your explanation). So - the government pays professors for their research, and then this very research is put behind a paywall, from which....publishers (?) make money?. I apologize, but it simply does not make sense to me, it seems extremely counter intuitive.

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 money to universities, and a large portion of the population has student debt because of how expensive tuition is. Why are they charging for access to research at these institutions then?

Could you tell me how exactly to do this? I'd love to this but I'm not sure how to do it.

That's excellent advice, thanks!

That's interesting advice, thanks!

That's understandable, thank you!

That's a very fair point, thank you!

Thank you, that was very helpful!

Thank you!

Any reason why? Does it get harder to make friends as you grow older, or are the friends not as close to you as those made in your teenage years? How many friends do you still have who you knew when you were a teenager?

Absolutely - I have noticed the same in effectively all startups. I'm not even out of high school yet, so take my words with a pinch of salt, but my guess would be all companies may start out as 'enthusiast' brands, of sorts. Since their market is well defined and not very large, once they outgrow their market, investors who want higher returns and more revenue probably push them to expand outside their original market, thus reducing their focus on the original market.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Also, what is CyanogenMod? And why did Ubuntu add Amazon products to its search results?

Alright, glad I could help!

Brave does make money off of them - they get 30%, you get 70%, I believe.

And yes, the idea of sending BAT to websites directly was excellent. The website needs to have registered for the BAT wallet though. (Not a big deal, of course)

That's a very fair point, I had not thought of it in that way at all. I guess they are two ways of approaching it -

1. Brave is replacing Google Ads with their own ads. 2. Brave already blocks Google Ads, they might as well make some money while doing so and add their own.

Funnily, I don't find either of these wrong, so I'm not sure which one to believe. I'd love to hear your opinion on it though!

Not disputing your point at all - genuinely! But would you be fine if Google started serving you ads in your notifications?

I'm just rephrasing it, because for some reason it would be creepier for me if Google served ads in notifications - but that may just be me.

While I can't be sure of what they were trying to say, my guess would be they were referring to the fact that Mozilla earns money from partnering with Google, while Brave doesn't need to do that, they have BAT, and so Brave might not be as hesitant to modify YouTube functionality as Mozilla.
