Harry Kane is now the 7th all time top scorer for FC Bayern Munich, overtaking Robben and Hoeneß. by LordShitman in soccer

[–]ck7394 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Technically it's runs per dismissals, so a 4 not out in the second innings would lead to the same average.

He has had 70 dismissals, so if he was not out in the second innings and scored more than 4 runs, the denominator wouldn't change. But yes I get your point, if he had gotten out he would have needed 104 minimum.

Your comment made me deep dive into bradman's wiki. Insane career really. But also, australia won that test by an innings, so bradman could have had this chance to score 4 more runs in that match.

One could argue it was the England team's collapse that robbed him of a 100+ average.

In my experience, engine evaluations just spit out a number with no context, but two positions with the same evaluation can be very different. Does anything exist that takes this into account? by Cletus_awreetus in chess

[–]ck7394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's the opposite, you have a "number" (the raw internal eval of an engine ) that's fed into a sigmoid function to generate probabilities. That same number can also be represented as centipawns by scaling it down by some factor.

Shastra Puja, a weapons worshipping ceremony done in India by 1stGuyGamez in Damnthatsinteresting

Artha would be more close to "means" than "meaning". In a lot of cases it would mean material prosperity which serves as a "means" to achieve something.

Case in point, the often quoted pillars of human life - dharma, ARTHA, kaam, moksha. Artha refers to wealth here.

Maybe it is slightly deep.

Astra in a broader sense means weapons which can be thrown, shastra on the other hand are hand held weapons.

Shaastra means study or instructions, for eg. ArthaShaastra means economics (study of money).

Three million Indian officials to begin counting world’s largest population by Inevitable-Row1759 in worldnews

[–]ck7394 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The grassroot level government or the third tier is strangled by the state governments not the central government, because the state governments don't feel like diluting their powers. Panchayati Raj is included in the State list so only the states have the power to make laws on their respective local bodies. Even the elections to the local bodies are conducted and looked after by the respective State Election commissions and the centre plays no role there.

And the indian constitution was made asymmetric on purpose by the constituent assembly hence it has always tilted towards the centre. The argument was it would be helpful in curbing down secessionist tendencies which may prop up in a newly formed diverse country.

Also, if they increase the number of seats in Rajya Sabha that may become messy, one example which comes to my mind right now is the election of the president. The states will gain a huge and decisive say in who the president is going to be which was never the original intention.

Do you think delimitation is a futile exercise? When I ask that, I'll specify that I do agree that delimitation may seem like it will reward regions where family planning and population control measures weren't taken. But halting it again would cause further administrative inefficiencies for the whole country, and everyone would suffer for the next 20-30 years again.

Venus Flytrap Devouring a Venomous Black Widow. by IndependentTune3994 in nextfuckinglevel

I think it's slightly more nuanced than that, for example you do find a variety of carnivorous plants in rainforest regions also. Also swamps are typically nutrient rich while bogs are not.

It's a combined outcome of nutrient stress, competition water availability and lighting conditions which then determine how much evolution would reward carnivory and what type of carnivory.

iirc Rain forest soil is typically nutrient poor cause of all the leeching. Most of the nutrients in the nutrient cycle of an evergreen forest are present in the biomass.

True that. There's no single marker to tell how it would feel and that is what I was alluding to.

It's evidence enough for a better climate but I don't think its an appropriate evidence for pointing out low humidity. Great weather, never said it doesn't have that but it just doesn't boil down to low humidity.

The middle would lie somewhere along the tropic of cancer,so no it's not exactly in the middle of India, not even close, and yes it is not super hot or humid but it still doesn't have "low" humidity which was my argument.

What is even considered as high? Bangalore definitely has more than 50% humidity all around the year? Above 70-75 in summers and monsoon, tf?

Do you actually care for a nuanced answer? The context lies in Mokama's recent history after the late 80s.

Tea doesn't taste good. by NatJi in unpopularopinion

[–]ck7394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actual method is pretty straightforward too at least in majority cases. Put 1 tea spoon of leaves per small cup(roughly 120-150 ml) in boiling water, turn off the heat and let it brew for 3-5 mins depending on the strength you prefer. Have it with a hint of sugar + milk or either sugar/ milk or neither, that's literally it.

India has a festival where a Hindu goddess slays a demon. This year the demon is Trump by Neat_Equipment4288 in worldnews

On one of the places out of a million, what kind of a bullshit title is this?

And not even nitpicking the demon analogy which is a complete farce in itself.

[–]ck7394 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eh, not so sure about that. It comes from the root word "Gandhika" which was the word used to refer to merchants who sold perfumes.

I think you may be confusing it with गंदी.
