thanks1banks2··on If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel (2014)
I want to draw your attention to Mercury. See how far out it is from the sun. Now consider the fact that orbital cycle calculations were never summing up right with classical laws. The error was consistently repeatable. With curvature of space included, the error disappeared. Look at the distance till which the influence of the sun is, that leaves us unsatisfied with our results!

Subtle. ;)

thanks1banks2··on India Shut Down Kashmir’s Internet Access
India is a secular state. We treat all religions with equal respect.

This is in the constitution.

This issue is an internal matter following due process within our parliamentary framework.

thanks1banks2··on Apple begins exporting India-made iPhones to European markets
Please. It is well documented that systemic corruption was introduced at scale by the East India Company and we carry a lot of arcane baggage from the erstwhile colonial power.

We are eradicating it through education and technology to the extent possible, albeit at a slower pace than we would ideally like.

thanks1banks2··on Matlab's First Customer
A bit off topic tidbit:

Early Matlab version(s) had an interesting Easter egg. Once when frustrated with the learning on the REPL, I typed "fuck you" and the console spit out "your place or mine?" instead of an error that I was so used to.
