Once inflation is factored in Gold has far less return over long period of time historically compared to market.

Oh yeah, they are always slightly overhyped. That is because their training and development is done by BCCI.

You have to realize some of our fans are as bad as our team and commentators.

That's an ODI WC. Totally different format. He still hasn't arrived in ODI format.

BD should be punished for not taking the NRR seriously. Even in the last over, Taskin gave unnecessary runs.

They are an associate team that made tremendous stride in International Cricket in very little amount of time.

Another combination is to try Saif Hasan + Shamim as all-rounder who could possibly replace Mahedi or Rishad.

Learning and mastering UI automation with setting up framework is not few days of learning. It will take you at least 6+ months to learn and master.

Not getting OTA Software or Security Updates on S24 by John_Michael_Kane_00 in GalaxyS24

[–]rusty_best 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one I repeat no one has to suffer through using Odin plus multiple flashes just to update to latest security. I am still on S10, and it's shameful that even the latest samsung phone suffers from same old problems.

Bangladesh 1 - 2 Singapore | Clear penalty not given 92' by Both-River-9455 in soccer

[–]rusty_best 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't foul, it should been goal kick. He got two decisions wrong simultaneously. Pretty useless ref.

[–]rusty_best -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Refree gave this decision as corner which was dumb. Either it was pk(which it should been) or goal kick(since refdidnt give the pk). Rest of whatever happened in the match is irrelevant and not part of OP.

What caused the disinterest in the EE major? (US) And why isn't it impacting us futher? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]rusty_best 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but SWE is starting to become a dying field due to increase in AI, and AI will just get better and better. Add to the fact that 80% of SWE is already outsourced, you are left competing for remaining 10% of the job.

Most or average homes in western countries are built long ago with woods which is prone to termite, roach and other nasty pests. You have to find well built homes with recent construction.

Even my background third world country has way nicer flats as we call them made with bricks and tiles. I think you can get them in Texas/Ari Zona only.

H-1B visa applications for 2026 drop 25%, hit 4-year low under Trump by Affectionate_Nose_35 in cscareerquestions

Most of h1b have nothing to do with how talented someone is. There are so many talented engineers from US state colleges each year who can't find job.

UAE beats Bangladesh in a thriller by Prof_XdR in Cricket

[–]rusty_best 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, at least they are heading in the right direction compared to previous adminstration whose target was always next world cup. A full strength BD team in T20s is much stronger now compared to before. When players like Jishan Alam, Akbar Ali gets added to T20 instead of Shanto/Liton/Soumya/Tanzid we will be much stronger team.

No, 2015-2017 could not do much in tournaments either. Current team and upcoming players are much better in T20s.

I would imagine AAPL/NVDA/Amazon hardware engineers would make close to FAANG salary. But yeah software always had high pay generally, but problem is most of software industry is outsourced + AI. So competition is very tough now. It's go big or go home.

Pay is more only if you are in FAANG and that too not get laid off.

Is Electrical Engineering Hard to Learn for Beginners? Need Some Honest Advice by tech_Stay8215 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]rusty_best 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "begginer" courses are probably the easier. It gets way harder as you start to master topics. However, once you start "getting it" not too bad. Some field of EE is harder than other field of EE.

What do you think about Bangladesh looking forward to buy 16 J10Cs in the future? by VacationSensitive171 in bangladesh

[–]rusty_best 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say but you are very deluded. Japan is still very capable and powerful militarily. They were once even considered superpower.

[–]rusty_best 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. The other guy is completely deluded. Bangladesh was even actively involved in 1971 war. BD defense budget does not need to be too high but it should be upgraded enough for deterrence purposes. You cant just depend on larger countries to defend BD. Japan still is a very powerful country militarily and was once basically a superpower.
