I never forgot amazing advice of @DinaPomeranz which is that some days the appropriate task scope looks like “1. Open data file”.

How long has @TheKenWeb been plagiarizing? #plagiarism

It's got caught today when it lifted verbatim from the substack contribution of a corporate executive.

Remember the editor of Hindustan Times VN Narayanan, over two decades ago, lifting 72 of the 83 sentences in one of his Sunday columns from The Sunday Times Magazine published under the headline "No time like the present” by BRYAN APPLEYARD. Eventually Narayanan had to resign from the paper. @akm1410

On the occasion of India’s 75th Independence Day: a 🧵

[V Vinay @ainvvy]

This may come as a surprise to some, but India was granted Dominion status on this day in 1947. It was not fully independent.

Dominion meant that India was independent within the commonwealth. But the British King was still the head.

[Ramki @ramkid]

Nike once famously said, 'You don't win silver. You lose gold.' They would never utter such BS if they saw Avinash Sable in action. He scared the living daylights out of the gold winner - in an event that Kenya habitually wins 1,2,3.

#TIL that Shammi Kapoor was one of the first users of the Internet in India

He was the founder & chairman of the Internet Users Club of India. I can't wrap my head around how someone like Shammi Kapoor was in the thick of the internet movement in India?

I did some digging 👇

On this day, next year, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” will hit the theatres. During the climax of the movie, if you see Cillian Murphy (who plays the protagonist in the movie) in Lord Krishna’s avatar, don’t be surprised. Read on to know why. (1/9)

[Jacqueline Clark Ludwig @JacquieLudwig]

I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science

Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.
