Best Answers I read on Quora #1

I have been using Quora for while and I consider this as the one of the fruitful thing I am doing to myself.

Quora rescued me from a social evil called ‘Facebook’,Yes I was that kind of a boy who opened Facebook again on a new tab forgetting the fact that I just navigated away from Facebook.

Using Quora is like following a rabbit hole,It goes on forever and dwelve you into ocean of knowledge.Those who use it know about it and those who dont will surely regret when they unveil what it is all about.

Thats enough about Quora,Lets get into the actual content.From this week onwards I am going to blog about the greatest questions and answers I have read on Quora.

Here is my set

What are some of the most ridiculous startup ideas which eventually became successful? [The Link]

The guy who answered this question seems to be funny startup guy.

My favorite part on this favorite answer was

PayPal - people are going to use their insecure email addresses to pay each other real money, backed by a non-bank with a cute name run by 20-somethings.
Instagram - filters! That’s right, we got filters!
SpaceX - if NASA can do it, so can we! It ain’t rocket science.

bite the bullet,Lets move on to next question

What does this quote mean: “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” [The Link]

The question seems to be bit idiotic one but the answer : Ingenious.

Quora > Reddit > Facebook

I use all three websites regularly but the time on each seems to be reversed in my case.Not at all a problem,I am working opposite now.

Well,Since I never studied at IIT I dont know whether the following question deserves such a funny but thought provoking answer.

To what extent does the movie 3 Idiots actually represent life at IITs? [The Link]

The shortest and most upvoted answer was,

To the same extent as Java represents Javascript.

I bet the guy who answered is an 100% IITian.

I read many more interesting questions and answers than above ones but I didn’t bookmark it,So I just mentioned these from my recent readings.

Hope I will be back with better ones.

Insertion Sort in Python

Sorting is a method of arranging the elements according to some specifications.There are numerous sorting techniques available for sorting,one of the earliest and simplest sorting algorithm is “Insertion Sort”.

The algorithm is quite simple,start comparing the second element with the first one and if first element is greater than second element then swap the values.Similarly compare the Nth element with pervious N-1 elements.

Refer Wikipedia to know more about Insertion sort.

The below code is the solution for one of the Hacker rank algorithmic problem.

def insertionSort(ar): for q in range(1,len(ar)): for i in range(q): if(ar[q] < ar[i]): temp=ar[q] ar[q]=ar[i] ar[i]=temp for x in ar: print x, print m = input() ar = [int(i) for i in raw_input().strip().split()] insertionSort(ar)

Input

6
1 4 3 5 6 2

Output

1 4 3 5 6 2 
1 3 4 5 6 2 
1 3 4 5 6 2 
1 3 4 5 6 2 
1 2 3 4 5 6

WPStuffs : Two months old PR3 blog

I am bit surprised with the recent PageRank update..which is also the first PR update of 2013 by Google.

As soon as I got the news about PR update via Facebook…I expected to get PR1 for my two months old blog called WPStuffs (founded on 27th Nov. 2013) but when I checked it got PR3.

I confirmed with many other source and found it to be accurate.

Honestly I never know how I get here because I didn’t even think about PR and just continued to give some good articles.

I didn’t wrote any Guest articles for authority blogs
I didn’t ask for linkbacks from any blogger.
Didn’t even spent single cent for accumulating linkbacks or content marketing.
Not receiving tons of traffic (hardly 80 pageviews per day)
I didn’t make any network with fellow bloggers (apart from commenting)

Then…how the hell I got PR3.

I think this is the puzzle which Google gave to solve
