Wait, so he's (1) Russian, (2) Jewish and (3) a Hitler fanboy? Did he not go to school, or did he sleep in history class?

Engines are manufactured by different companies. Boeing certifies its planes to work with such and such engines. Airlines may purchase them separately.

That being said, I am less skeptical of the growth in users in India, but not for the reason the author listed. I think it's more likely that it is growing in popularity due to its cost (ie, free), as well as the fact that many distros are more lightweight than Windows, which especially benefits older or cheaper hardware.

Most Windows in India is pirated. Microsoft doesn't care unless you're a big company. The second point is true. Another reason is that schools shifted to Ubuntu 10-15 years ago, and government departments are now shifting to Linux.

Any source on her influence on Miyazaki? My searches only return articles about the Earthsea adaptation fiasco.

Free paper is free paper. You can also mess with them by signing them up for each other and/or sending them stones (if there's a return envelope; they'll be charged for it).

Maybe they read about Canada genociding Indians. (/s)

But yes, our current government is behaving in a very short-sighted way, pissing off other countries for immediate benefits (trade deals, more visas, etc.). It isn't just Canada.

PinePhone is very cheap. Even PinePhone Pro is mid-range.

Crowdfunding and donations aren't passive income. Passive income is getting paid just for having money.

Going by the traditional definition, UBI is indeed passive income. I don't think it is as bad as other forms of passive income, but I would prefer subsidies over just giving people cash.

Passive income.

The first rule of coding is that you don't re-invent the wheel.

Kids these days with their GUIs and fancy apps. Just curl wttr.in as Thompson intended.

Wouldn't this drain your battery and cause burn-in on your screen?

Ah okay.

The rent I receive doesn't even cover the cost of the apartment. I'm losing money on it every year. So I'm subsidising someone's housing.

The third statement might be true, but it does not follow from the first two. Are the two houses of equal size? Are they in equally desirable locations? Also, is the market price of the house you are renting out increasing? You need to account for these.

First of all, school or uni?

As many others have said, don't give a take home exam during a break, however 'normal' it is considered in your community.

Second, have clear guidelines on what is allowed and what is cheating. We never had take-home exams in school, and in uni every take-home exam was open book, open internet and open discussion. In the absence of any statement to the contrary, your students would also be justified in assuming so.

Asking someone to repeat the answer is fine, but it doesn't really prove anything - they might have simply forgotten all the formulae over their break.

The best option at this point would be to cancel that question and conduct future tests during class hours, under your supervision.

No please don't. They're on the verge of extinction. When was the last time you saw one?

Or any of the fishes that can transition from one gender to another.

Our history textbooks were actually good in this regard. In addition to a broad look at world history, they had focus chapters on things like the history of cricket and the Vietnam war.

Now if only they could stop the Indian history section from being the history of powerful men in and around Delhi …

Conservatives across the world aren't a unified group. In particular, not all are opposed to homosexuality. So Thailand does have a very authoritarian government, but they are also quite LGBT friendly.
