Am not telling that is acceptable. Am just telling that this is a football World Cup. Not a a cultural world cup.

And any nation including European who has hosted it has done similar bad things in past. So are why outage only now?

Us went ahead and killed thousands of women and children in Iraq. So do you boycott sports in US.

UK still white washes colonialism in Schools. They have not apologized for jalianwalabagh massacre. Do you boycott them.

France still leeches money from poor countries in Africa. Do you boycott them.

And finally quatar and saudi uses slave labour and treats homosexuals badly. Do you boycott petroleum and natural gas.

Then why only boycott world cup in quatar

Many mobiles and textile manufacturing is with slave labour. So is chocolates and cofee. You consume them. So what's new about quatar.

Yes for me accesibility is important. Because my friends can watch it without spending a year of their earnings. If you can conduct World cups in uk is or France or Russia, then you can conduct in quatar too. Regards of openions reeking in hypocrisy and racism

So what is the problem? Is it slavery? Is it that quatar is hot? Is it that quatar doesn't like LGBTQ?

Why new reasons come up in every comment rather than any justification for the parent comment at all?

Are you going to watch football or to marry someone?

And should you boycott US also where random people kill innocent children regularly for no reason?

From this discussions in this thread atleast the problem with quatar is nothing of what is mentioned. Westerners can't accept that a nation culturally so different from theris can host an important tournament. They can't accept that people's have different priorities different cultures and different way of looking at life. They can't accept that about 2 billion people of the world are having the most accesible world cup.

In short, they can't accept that world doesent exist just for westerners. Since they can't tell that openly due to being called out for racism, they come up with these reasons..

The money with Quatar is not blood money. It's just money from selling natural gas. Just like norway got it's pension fund.

And how is quatar a slavery. Are they slaves just because they are a monarchy?

Yes quatar is a monarchy and they behave like dictators. But so is Russia where sports competitions are held. So is china where olympicis was held.

Even the prosperity of Europe is made on the back of colonialism.

So is London which is the place where all the criminals from around world move their money into.

So i Switzerland which has a reputation of storing black money.

So is France which still leech Money from Africa.

1. Do you plan to not use petroleum and natural gas which comes mostly from MENA and Russia

2. DO you plan to not use phones made in china which is a dictatorship

Let the people around world conduct it when it's suitable to them

Yes it's hot in quatar. So is the whole MENA. Don't they deserve to see football?

Let Europe do it in summer when it's suitable there. Let quatar do it in winter when it's suitable there..

This is the closest and most accesible football worldcup to 1 billion people in India. I am thankful to FIFA for conducting this in Quatar

What is your problem with quatar spending their money?

1. This is one of that ways to get more people interested in football. Majority of the population is in south asia and chinela, Quatar is quite close and this wc is very accessible for us

2. Why world cup is held in summer? Is it because Europe is cold in winter and Europeans prefer summer. Unfortunately world is not just Europe. Since this is WORLD cup why should it not be held in seasons that is suited where it is hosted?

3.Same as above. Football is popular across world.

4. May be this is to get football more popular in middle East. Why only conduct where it is popular now. Let's conduct where more young people are present.

5. Corruption in FIFA is not new. This is not specific to this world cup.

6. So what. May be Quatar is trying to be a sports destination of MENA. It's their money. Let them spend it the way they want.

7. So has a large number of people died in making the phones, clothes, chocolates, diamond, cofee or anything in Modern world. Do you stop using phones and clothes because of that?

I come from Kerala in india where a large population emigrate to Arab countries including Quatar. Heck even my uncle was there at some point. People go to these places because they pay well. May be not as much as western world would like, but much more than we make here. So i don't give too much importance to the stories about slave labour and everything.

8. Are you coming to watch football or to promote pride culture?

> In IIT, while there was cutthroat competition for general category seats, SC/ST (reserved category) seats went unfilled since in the IITs there was (not sure if it still is there) a min standard was required.

Even with this low bar SC&ST are unable to get in. It shows how disadvantaged they are as a population.

No way you can say that with straight face. The regulatory capture of TRAI by JIO is very well known.

1. Which democracy in the world do-not have corruption?

2. Where in the article is the mention about government intervention in Judiciary? I read it, but could not find it.

> Free and fare Judiciary and democratic institutions are fundamental to a democracy. I hope this substantiates the original comment.

Your original comment was that India's democracy is close to Putin's Russia. I agree that India being a young democracy need to develop better institutions. However it is not comparable to anything in Russia.

If you really want to compare, why don't you specifically list what happens in a mature democracy like UK, compare that to what is happening in RUSSIA and then show similar issues in India, while also showing that it does not happen in any of the model democracy you have in your mind.

Adding to your point

Rohingyas from Myanmar are not similar to Buddhists from Pakistan due to one single reason. Myanmar was not divided from India. Nor has Indian govt made any promise on protection anytime.

Hence India does not have any obligation to people from Myanmar apart from Humanitarian concern. That particular concern is common to all the world. If Europe or US have that concern, I do believe that they can accept Rohigyas similar to how they accepted a large number of Syrians

When India was divided, prime minsters of India and Pakistan [Liaquat–Nehru Pact] agreed on treating their respective minorities well. Without this agreement the minorities[Hindus, Sikhs etc in Pakistan] living in each country could have choose to move to the other[India in this case].

Hence passing CAA is just accepting the fact that Indias neighbors are not treating minorities well as they promised and delivering the promise that was made during independence.

In India, it is quite similar and popular. However we can do that with a variety of apps. The amount will be deducted from account. It uses the unified payments interface (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Payments_Interface) tech and Bharath QR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BharatQR)

Ok, my time

If you see any signal, it can be represented as a value at each time, x(0) = 1, x(1) = 2 .. x(100) = 5 etc. We can visualize them as you shouting 1 at time 0, 2 at time 1 and 5 at time 100. Alternatively we can also do the same with a larger number of persons.

Representation using dirac delta

--------------------------------------

Lets say that you have 100 persons at your disposal. You ask first person to shout 1 at time 0, second person to shout 2 at time 1 and person to shout 5 at time 100. Other times they will be silent. So with these 100 people you can represent the signal X. We call each of these person as bases. Mathematically they are delta functions of time, ie they get activated only at their specified time. Other times they are silent, ie 0. The advantage of this representation is that you have fine control on the signal. If you want to modify value at time=5, you can just inform the 5th guy.

Introduction to bases

--------------------------

Dirac delta is not the only bases. You can ask multiple guys to shout at multiple times. They can even tell negative numbers. All you have to ensure is that they add up to the value of X. The guys should be able tell any number that can come as a part of X. This we name the property "SPAN".

Instead of 100 guys, we can have 200 guys too, ie 2 guys for each time and they tell half of the original value. However, this is wasteful since you have to pay for extra guys with no use. Hence we say that the bases should be orthogonal, ie they should not have correlation with others in the group. So as we have uncorrelated and spanning guys, we can represent any signal using them.

Fourier transform

--------------------------

In case of Fourier transform, each guy will shout according to a sinusoidal wave. Lets say sine wave. ie guy 1 at time 0 will tell the value of sine(f0 t). Second guy will shout value of sine(f1t) and so on. The f0, f1 etc are the frequencies for each guy. Now it comes out that these guys will be orthogonal to each other, and they can span all the signals. Thus we have Fourier transform. Hence instead of representing signal as value at each step, we can represent it as value at each frequency.

Why Fourier transform

-------------------------

We have seen that as long as bases span and and are orthogonal, they can define a transformation. But why is Fourier transform so famous. This comes from the systems we use. The most common systems we use are LTI(Linear time invariant) systems. A property of the said system is that they work on sinusoidal waves. Ie if a sinusoidal wave of frequency f is passed through an LTI system, all it can do is to multiply with a scalar. Any other wave will have a more complex effect. Hence if we can represent signals as a sum of sinusoids, we can represent our system as just a amplifier at each frequency. This makes whole of system analysis into a set of linear equations which we are good at solving. So we love Fourier transform

I usually does not care about 1% improvement at all. It can be due to many factors including over fitting to training set.

What is important is the ideas in the paper. How does it translate to your context. If it is relevant you can try it out since it may give more than 1% in your data set :)

No proof, just claims

Iam very interested in brain computer interfaces. It would be great if you can share any of your work here..
