Terrible. The TLDR given by OP completely misses the point of the article. The scrolls aren't a revolutionary discovery because of what they contain, but because of what implications can be drawn as a result (which you'll have to read the article).

I believe they were using a DJI industrial, which as a takeoff weight of 11kg, which is more than enough power to carry a small chainsaw.
I believe you have misinterpreted my post.
The only thing OP mentioned was that something felt "off," without actually bringing up anything substantial. This is purely racism.
Cheating is not what OP was talking about. You are mentioning a completely different issue.

Also, having been through university myself, cheating is completely widespread through domestic students as well. I'd like to see some statistics that international students cheat more, rather than anecdotes.

Do you have any actual examples of their poor academic behaviour, or are you just speculating? Because it sounds like you're singling them out for being Chinese right now.
If they continue chugging along, they're most likely going to get eaten alive by single-purpose companies who have the capability to offer a more refined product, and iterate at a quicker pace. It would be more valuable to investors if Yahoo split into product-specific components, a la HP. The sum of Yahoo's components will be more valuable than the whole, anyways.

Yahoo's been throwing shit on the wall for a long time, and nothing's been sticking. It's no wonder investors are starting to lose their patience.

India may not be the best example, considering there have been several organizations that have rated it more corrupt than China. Furthermore, while they both started in similar economic positions, China has pretty much left India in the dust at the moment in many metrics.
