Multiple sources think that the real range is an ICBM level. And the Indian government purposely limits it's range. No strategic reason to communicate a larger range than needed and why have an headline that reads, "India develops

No even for buy and hold investors. The best investors get only 55% of the bets right. Only a little better than a coin toss. The only reason the performance for them is better than the 55% metric would suggest is because they cut losses on

You are right that position sizing is important but for the opposite reason. Knowing your winners and then full on concentrating in them is statistically a big part of what makes successful winners.

Yeah even if we consider USD a unit, most units are appended after the number. It is weird. Never thought of it this way. Huh!

Not at all. If Murmansk's importance causes Finland to be strategic then what about Crimea? Turkey blocks Russia's warm water sea access. Much more important for Turkey to be in NATO than Finland purely on the basis of geography.

Aluminum smelters do this all the time btw. Also there is economic harm in shutting down mining I.e loss of mining fees.

You just described commerce as scalping. A grocer is a scalper according to you. So is a meat distributor.

People going after people for unpopular opinions is a society problem. Did that happen in the US or Europe before Twitter? It did not. I see this touted a lot. But supporting trolls to spread disinformation online isn’t protecting free spee

I was in the “libertarian” camp on this. But now looking at all the damage caused (including killings in India on false social media rumors) I certainly think “mainstreaming of social media” is warranted. For one remove anonymity from socia

OP seems to be himself an Israeli and presumably a Jew. I did not read his post as being anti-Jewish or anti-religion in anyway.

I could literally not use any indentation and the machine would still understand me. Not sure how they matter for machines? They do matter for humans though. The reason we write code and structure it the way we do is for human convenience.

How about all whitespace should be represented by one character to reduce ambiguity. I shouldn't have to figure out if 'l' is 'ell' or 'eye'. Same way I should not have see visually whitespace and wonder i

In India lots of buildings leave rebar open on the top floor/roof because they expect the government to allow them to add a floor in the future. The government often obliges.

They don't. Whatsapp degrades image/video quality massively. Just a choice they made given that a lot of their customers are bandwidth constrained. If I have to send a photo that I took with my high quality phone camera, I prefer

Yes because the analogy doesn’t make sense. Can you explain how the two things are equivalent?

Interesting. In my very limited understanding I have a very opposite view, specifically around Justice Thomas. If you read pdonis’s reply to your parent, you will see that Thomas was rather correct in the way law should have applied in this

Please don’t justify corruption in poor countries. It is not a way of life. And the adverse effects of this are very long term in nature.

I don’t understand the problem with globalization? Are you advocating for each country to make their own iPhones? Their own chips?

The good part is that they are.

Having talked to a competitor of Pipe they do take on the risk of the customer not renewing. So it is indeed not debt. Probably.

While usually people use percentages in the wrong way, in this case they used and compared them the appropriate way. Percentage here is used as a ratio of total output and a decline in that ratio over time is a decline in role. Exactly what

I don’t know this. I have chatted with plenty of Uber drivers who are part timers who don’t know this or think this way about them as well.

Disrupt but how? Can you point to a specific example or use case?

Having been exposed to more sane systems I can't begin to think how the Indian system can improve. - Bad reckless drivers who don't know any better. - Bad road design. Gurgaon has an expressway running through the city, whose exit
