I am not sure where you got that definition for high literacy.

High literacy in Kerala lead to:

Higher life expectancy, lower infant mortality rate. Higher standard of living, knowing your rights, demand for equal pay, women's empowerment & many more. In Kerala the male to female ratio is healthy unlike rest of India where female feticide is still a problem. Kerala is also way ahead in terms of health & sanitation than rest of India.

While the problems you listed is not unique to Kerala, let me also remind you that India's first IT park is in Kerala and it paved the way for the rest of IT parks in India.

The narrow roads are due to the geography of Kerala which has beautiful winding green mountains, the entire state is on a mountain slopes towards the Arabian sea.

The secular nature of Kerala is worth mentioning too. You will not find any other place in India where people of all faiths live in such harmony & peace. This secular nature of Kerala is one of the reasons why BJP political party is unable to have any headway in Kerala.

When an aircraft is released engine development doesn't stop. These things are always undergoing revisions, performance upgrades, ADs, and even just performance upgrades / downgrades / operating procedure changes based on data from in field running.

I doubt an engine would undergo the addition of a stage as that's pretty major but there's no reason a mfc couldn't charge you a mil for better compressor blades and give you a thrust rating upgrade for your patronage.

Edit: I'll keep talking as more info is coming to my head. Jet engines have fadec computers that get to decide what your maximum power level is. This maximum is programmed into the engine as a thrust rating.
Let's say you engine has 8 possible power levels to configure, when you test the engine when new or after maintenance, you will look up a chart based on parameters that your test cell has logged, ie thrust vs EGT (exhaust temp) is a big one, so too is vibration at the different bands. This chart will tell you what to program the ECU with (forgot the actual acronym, its analogous to an ECU on a car).
So to your point, when you get more performance out of an engine, you can set these levels higher, so you wouldn't expect more degradation from you engine for a higher power level as the manual will tell you what power level the engine can be set to which will keep everything within its maintenance limits. (Sorry if that's not super clear)

Edit 2: Funny implementation detail of setting a thrust rating, it's literally a jumper based system similar to old motherboards, except you manually wire a blanking plug to bridge the connections.
A blanking plug is an electrical connector that has a cap on it with a little bit of space to run wires from one pin back to another.

Also the correct acronym is EEC.

> carbofuran, an insecticide banned by the E.P.A for all legal purposes. Carbofuran is produced in the U.S. by Pennsylvania-based FMC Corp, which exports the product to Mexico, India and other nations. The EU, Canada and Brazil have full bans on carbofuran

The fact that the epa doesn't have the authority to shut down production of this stuff is insane. Most things that are banned multinationally also face production bans for obvious reasons.

You mean like when you move to a country and are oppressed into having to write addresses on envelopes in the way the local postal service expects it?

If email systems were a national thing, and I'd move somewhere where they didn't accept "+" in email addresses for, say, official government communications, then .. yeah, I'd have to get a new email address.

Personally I find it much more annoying if people mispronounce my name (which happens in a personal face-to-face setting) than if I had to write my name down in a certain way on a form, to make it work with the system. It's just an identifier for the system. I wouldn't get the same SSN or phone number either--which is just about as silly to expect.

It would be nice if they had standard ways of dealing with names that do not fit in such a system, so that at least the variant to make it work would be the same everywhere else. But to demand it to be taken verbatim and work correctly in the system, that's like moving to another country and demanding you keep the same land line number.

Does anyone know of a successful server-based peer-to-peer project other than TOR and cryptocurrencies? I'm all for breaking free of the stranglehold of centralized proprietary platforms, but it also seems to me that most of the open source projects that ever really succeed at competing against entrenched proprietary incombents are the ones where a centralized service is being provided by a non-profit (e.g. Wikimedia Foundation, Mozilla, Canonical). Maybe expecting people to set up a server is just a bridge too far? Maybe there's just too many conveniences in centralization for todays users to put up with the hassle? Maybe there needs to be a centralized server that is as easy to use as the proprietary ones, and then the hardcore users can set up their own and federate with the central one?
systemd-networkd is completely optional. In raspbian it is disabled by default and a very simple unit-file that calls ifup/ifdown is used. For wifi you obviously have to configure wpa-supplicant or use NetworkManager.

Not a particularly detailed post and, as it says, it's an old SEO trick.

But if people want an answer as to why the blogosphere is dead and everything's on centralised silos: this is why. Any decentralised system that doesn't take spamfighting into account from the beginning will drown under it as soon as it becomes popular.

note that there isn't that much efficiency left on the table: the best turbine is about 62% thermal-efficient[1] (note - not an aircraft engine). compare that to the theoretical carnot cycle at approximately jet operating temperatures - it's about 80%. these things are approaching dark magic territory at ~75% theoretical thermodynamic maximum.

In the space of distributed video platforms, I think Peertube has the right idea:
Bitchute is gaining a lot of traction, but the core issue of centralized control remains. Distributed content delivery is not enough to prevent censorship and viewer manipulation.
Federation will allow many platforms to proliferate and solves this problem.

I hope Peertube gains traction, but they're fighting an uphill battle when it comes to the centralized competition.
The problem that PeerTube cannot solve is engagement and stability:

- Engagement: Unlike Youtube they cannot use a recommender system like for suggestions. Most Youtube views are from recommendations and related videos.
- Stability: As a business or media outlet, I will link to a Youtube video but not a PeerTube video because I know Youtube will host it indefinitely.
I think the model will be the way Kosher certification works. There are multiple certification authorities and observant Jews can select which certifier they agree with.
Honestly, I feel like this is Google's fault. It shouldn't be prioritising new content as much as it does. The best articles are often "classics" from several years ago that haven't changed because they haven't needed to.
Does this mean that "Ecologically Ethical Cannabis" could be a premium offering and that pot lacking such certification could become despised like "blood diamonds?"
What? I thought I read somewhere on Google's webdev infos that they know when an article was first created vs. updated. Not sure if this "old trick" still improves the ranking of an article, but surely enough, it baits people into clicking on a link.

I noticed it a couple times myself. Stuff that's obviously an older article appears in the SERPs as if it was published a few days ago.

You could look at LBRY (https://lbry.tech https://lbry.com https://beta.lbry.tv).

LBRY is similar to PeerTube in open and decentralization, but all content metadata is written to a blockchain, which means everyone/anyone can access the index. This blockchain can then be searched (https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse) or extracted to SQL (https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery).
I don't understand why Thanksgiving is celebrated at all.

Its a bunch of religious bigots who left England for Holland because England was too religiously tolerant. They then had to leave Holland because they felt threatened by the fact that their children didn't want to continue their religion and were 'going native'. So they head off to the English colonies in America where they settle land cleared of native Indians by the plague. Half of them then die, and then the next year one of the pilgrim's many 'thanksgivings' is for the harvest.

After the revolution, Washington is petitioned to make it a holiday, although its not on the current day. Jefferson, for example, rallied against it.

So why celebrate thanksgiving again? Why celebrate the 'pilgrim fathers' in school? Why?

England's national day doesn't make sense through a modern lens either. Its generally believed that, if Saint George existed, he was a lowly Greek soldier from modern-day Turkey. We can speculate what the dragon might actually have been, except that story doesn't seem to turn up until later. The Catholic Saint George was executed by a Roman emperor for refusing to worship pagan gods... and this is related to England in what way? Technically that goes back to King Richard praying to him on a crusade or something. Then again, you stop someone in the English street and ask them why Saint George is the patron saint, or why, and they have not a clue!

Don't get me started on Christmas! If we had to justify every holiday and explain how it still makes any sense to celebrate it or whoever it originally venerated, then we'd have no holidays at all! :)

I'm also struck by the engineering that has gone into videography drones over the past decade.

I don't follow your conclusion. This isn't spam, it's just an updated timestamp. Furthermore: Google IS centralized. This isn't about decentralization, but about a central platform (Google) showing the "wrong" date and maybe even treating these blogs in a preferred way. Not sure what this has to do with blogs being decentralized.

> My understanding, after reading the memoir of Bernal diaz Del Castillo[0] (who was an eye witness of the conquest of Mexico)

Diaz's account was written 50 years after it had happened and is generally considered by modern scholars to be of dubious accuracy and primarily intended as a self-serving defense of his own wealth later in life.

As Adorno writes, "At issue were not the wars long since won or lost but rather the rights to the rewards of conquest. Should royal grants to conquistadores endure in perpetuity? Was it legitimate to enslave Indians when they had not been captured as enemies in war? Did the natives of the Antilles owe further royal or personal service to the Spaniards or should they be allowed relief in order to rebuild their dwindling populations?"

The linked article has the benefit of 400 years of additional scholarship beyond Diaz's account.
Yes, definitely. But other tools can be used in addition to solve their own problems.

Need to have multiple versions of python installed and easily accessible? Use pyenv.

Need to run tests across multiple versions of python? Use tox.

Need to freeze environments for deployment purposes? Use pip-tools.

Need to freeze the entire operating system? Use docker or vagrant.

Don't use tools you don't need. That would be silly.
From my own experiences in NY, it was normally the first three numbers of the winning horses at a particular race at a particular track. It varied depending on whose numbers game you were talking about. I had an uncle who was involved with it. He was a money collector, among other things. Yes, it was run by the mob. No, I was not a participant. Yes, these where Italian immigrants.

As far as "illegal" goes, yes numbers games were and are illegal. Nobody cared because the cops got paid off. It's a big part of what made NY what it is. It was so successful that most every state now has a lottery system. The odds of winning in state lotteries are, well, you already know what they are. State lotteries are total rip off designed to fleece the public. State lotteries exist because the pols realized they could make bazillions of dollars running numbers on a large scale and they could chase the competition away, too. So, in a sense, numbers games became legal, but controlled by the usual suspects.
And programming as a genre has become popular...

Yeah. And you can approximate many common materials as weighing "close enough" to water, if you're doing back of the envelope calculations. Organisms in general, food, building materials. Oil is about 90% the density of water. Plastic and wood probably vary from 50% to 130%. Metal and rock are obviously heavier, so throw in a multiplier.

It's great because you can just convert grams to milliliters or cubic centimeters (water is 1g/mL) and fudge it as necessary.

This is great for ML Engineering. Does anyone know a similar document for ML Research?
You've had plenty of responses, but I think a nuance is being missed. In many cases, it is not clear who will win. That is the whole point of the courts: to decide on the cases that are not immediately obvious. The big player has enough money to take the chance and try the court. Even if they lose and have to pay the winner's fees, it would not be a disaster. The small player, however, if forced to pay the winner's fees, can't afford to take the chance of a loss even if they have a very strong case. By having each side pay their own fees except in truly egregious cases, it gives the small players slightly better access to the courts than they might otherwise have.
Probably Tom Hall. The breaking point for him was Doom; When you look at the level of interactivity/story in Doom 3, consider that it was 'closer' to his vision for the original than what was released in 1993.

Anachronox is probably the best example of what he thought was a 'proper' game, and while I've never had the chance to play it, I understand it was a very underappreciated gem in it's day.

I would be really surprised if you actually got raw version of history as it happened at school. Very few countries actually admit properly their past mistakes (Germany and WWII might be rather an exception).

Raw version would be somewhere along the lines of "our ancestors were among the most horrible arrogant ignorant humans that ever lived if measured by the amount of evil done unto the others, and we are deeply ashamed to be their descendants". The fact that you actually celebrate Columbus' discovery as national day strongly indicates against that.

I mean, go to places like Potosi in Bolivia to see all the horror and misery caused by spanish slavers. 8 freaking million human beings were basically butchered by spanish just in this one single spot to mine silver to make spain richer. Not that it helped them in long run considering current state of spanish economy.

Right, and web servers too - neither had much competition when it launched though, so the point about no being able to beat incumbent proprietary solutions still stands. Not to mention the majority of people get their email hosted by a proprietary service these days.
There are two new tools in the Python ecosystem, which try to fill the gap left by cargo, npm, yarn & co.:

One is pipenv [0], which works similar to yarn & co. It uses Pipfile/Pipfile.lock to define and lock dependencies. Pipenv has a major flaw: It can't be used to publish packages on pypi.org (you still need twine & setup.py for that). It's also known for being slow and somewhat buggy. Despite all that pipenv is an "official" tool maintained by the "Python Packaging Authority".

The other one is poetry [1], which works exactly like yarn & co. It uses "pyproject.toml" to specify dependencies and "poetry.lock" to lock them. Poetry does most of the things "right", but it's still an underdog compared to pipenv.

Both tools have not yet fully matured, thus there are a lot of complaints.
