   Not secret in the sense that the enemies of respective nations already knew them, but secret in the sense that only the militaries knew them, now the whole world does. I think the patrol routes are more important(fun) than locations.

   Not the heat map of surroundings, but the map of routes taken by people, especially when it's not anonymised due to getting overlapped by other data, can surely be considered as personal data. Like in this case, it's with soldiers

   Just started, and already found a patrol route of Pakistan army, although it was quite obvious one, going parallel to a border river. Hope they don't take this down, it's going to entertain me for many days to come. On a more seri

   I haven't learned about compression of data, but from what I know, one has to make some assumptions to store n bit data into m bit space, where m < n. Here, the assumption seems to be that numbers are necessarily 5 bit, and that the

   There seem to be at least a couple of projects on GitHub on this topic. Eg. https://github.com/aimxhaisse/docker-mailz Now how many of them actually work is a different question altogether.

   AFAIK, Indian govt is supporting research for RISC-V based CPUs, but they are not general purpose, but meant to decrease huge import spending on processors for embedded systems and other specialized requirements. As you said, 99% people don

   I am not blaming British. It's just a fact that the places they ruled strongest are generally poorer compared to those places where they didn't.

   I live in India, so I can give a bit of overview. I don't have sources right now, but I have experience. You can roughly divide India into two parts, the British controlled, and the non-British controlled, based on the pre-independence

    Can someone elaborate how response to hostage threat works in US? Here in India, depending upon the situation, one of the security forces(police, paramilitary, Army, special forces, swat, etc), or combination of them, respond, and first cor

    So did you make it to a good company? Yes, I'm still in college, although I'm in final year, so only 6 months left. What you said is true, I realize that most companies are ignoring my resume(as I am not from IIT/NIT, I am no

    As a final year undergraduate, this makes me happy. Finally the trimming that IT industry badly needs is happening. And as a domino effect, admissions are also falling. I hope shitty colleges, like the one I belong from, close down. Surely,

    There are 3 types of companies here in India. 1. The likes of TCS, Wipro and Infosys. These have a huge workforce and literally hire in wholesale. Even this month, Wipro hired something like 50 students from a nearby college. They don'

    As an Indian CSE student, I agree with this. But there's more. The downfall of IT industry, and general decrease in need of IT engineers, is finally decreasing the amount of students joining engineering. Admissions on avg are 50% of ca

    on a similar note, I'd like to have better job listing aggregators. Something that better understands me. Currently, when I search for fresher jobs, I always end up getting jobs for 5-6 year experience, or those way away from cities I

    Nice. But I'm sure there must be at least 4-5 such apps that were made, but never got much traction. I have seen apps that monitor surroundings using the camera, but someone must have combined all sensor data before as well.

    I am not a researcher, so I'd like to get some answers. Why do people publish papers. Is it to get acknowledged for the work? Is it a requirement for getting PhD? Or is it so that world could benefit from the research? Also, can someon
