Why MNC's use Linux over Windows?

Now recently I've been going through this very question that- Even though Windows is better than Linux then why MNC'S use Linux over Windows? 

And have you ever wondered why MNC'S(Multi-National Companies) use Linux over Windows?


Now the simple answer to this question would be Linux is an open source system.

An open source system is the one which is free to use by public like those tons of apps on the Google Playstore.


But thats not the only thing Linux is much more powerful than we could ever think; like-

  • Linux is user friendly
  • Many Gaming community supports Linux
  • Linux is available in different languages and so on...


For a long time there was a misconception that Linux is only for programmers

and people had fear of command line but thats not true. Anyone can use Linux as having said that it's user friendly.


Now coming back to our question:

See we need a license to run Windows Operating system because it's not an open source system without which its illegal to use it.


Take an example: 

If an institute has 300 Windows PC, Microsoft can get the location in no time. 

And if the Microsoft wants it can raid the institute and ask for the license. 

If that institute doesn't have license for all the 300 computers then Microsoft would easily seize the institute making them difficult to pursue.


Then the question arrives is many of the individuals use the pirated version for Windows then why don't Microsoft raid every individual.

You see in that case Microsoft will have to spend a tons of money to raid every individual.


And say for example a news suddenly erupts that Microsoft wants all of us to use the legal rather than the pirated version everyone will be switching to an open source as quickly as possible. Because no one wants to purchase the product if tons of other open sources are already available.

Stock Market using Python

 "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." - Warren Buffett Today we'll look into few ways for accessing the stock market. And we'll do this using Python ! Now, as we know that there are 2 stock exchange in India; BSE and NSE So we'll get the data from both! To begin with let's access the data from BSE first. (P.S: I certainly like the 2nd and the 3rd method to access stock market!) * So, to import the BSE data we need to " pip install bsedata ". => And then import the module, => Create an object to store the Driver Class => Then we need to do " getQuote('script_code')" where we need to provide a script code of a company which we need to access. Just like here we have given; => And from here we can see that the script code was for the company named "V-MART". But we can't remember all the script code hence we need to download this script file from the BSE websi...

Predicting whether the bank will give loan to its customers based on their credit score (Logistic Regression)

"The best thing about data is that it tells a story." - Naveen Jain Today let's have a look at another machine learning model know as Logistic Regression. Logistic Regression is a statistical model where the outcome is predicted as binary such as YES or NO, based on the previous/train_dataset. ( Please open the images in a new tab or try to zoom-in ) import required models read your dataframe visualize your dataset create Logistic Regression model split your data into train and test dataset fit your train dataset into the regression model predict future values visualize your predicted values Github link for pdf:  click here

Machine Learning model for predicting 'Salary' of an Employee based on 'YearsofExperience'

“ Data really powers everything that we do .” — Jeff Weiner In the 21st century, Data is one of the most valuable entity anyone can have! There is loads-and-loads of data generated everyday. And to process this huge amount of data we need people who have expertise in it, who by the way are called as Data Engineers. Data Engineer collects the raw data, process it for further use; but we need an Analytic process which will automatically predict the data based on the previous one. And here's how 'Machine Learning' comes into the picture. "Machine Learning allows us to make highly accurate predictions based on the Historical Dataset which is used to train the machine learning model." Today let us look at a similar ML model to predict the 'Salary' of Employees based on 'YearsofExperience'. (P.S: I've provided pdf link at the very bottom of this page for clear understanding) 1) import the required modules 2) read the csv file 3) plot the graph 4) us...
