Quick notes: Amazon model, Russian moves...

  • Call to split up Amazon: "Amazon has operated its retail segment at a loss for decades, subsidizing the retail portion of its business with profits from other areas, such as web services. It's anti-competitive, it's predatory, and it's not right. They're not making money in retail, and they're putting retailers out of business"..... Lesson for India!


  • Russia is arming the Afghan Taliban.... Putin tightens Turkey alliance with nuclear project... Yazidis remain in fear on Iraq's Mount Sinjar after attempted genocide


  • Wide-body jets from China? Can a trade war now defer the day when China makes competitive wide-body jets?



  • Abhinav Seetharaman: The beauty that is Sanskrit



  • Doubtful intent: A questionable new study "explains" the origins of ancient Indians


  • Breakfast cereal: Why cereal is NOT your best breakfast bet


  • Dumping pesticides: Ducks are the future for pesticide-free rice farms
