    Afghanistan has designed its first armed drone - 700KM range - 100KG payload

    why are they writing anything in english? the range of this drone (if it can fly reliably) doesnt look to be more than a few tens to a few hundred kms to the countries that share a broder - could be an irritant but it looks like its made out of salvaged parts and duct tape if it flies though...

    Learning CSS

    I would suggest not to box oneself into "What is applicable for Pakisani/UK/<country> Market". do something that is useful anywhere - not being on current tech because your current market doesnt need it, keeps you and the country market both behind learning the latest/trending tech - will help...

    Learning CSS

    get into more scripting languages. CSS is really isnt going to help much Python is a good suggestion- as you can easily jump to multiple areas (big data, Machine learning, web dev. app dev) using just that one language.

    doesnt matter if these things are in place: 1) we start now 2) we learn the process hurdles that are preventing us from going quickly (India's procurement process is notorious for long delays for example) 3) we improve that and keep on improving that even if its incremental (dont need to be...

    What led to the failure of project Azm?
