Fear of recession is irrational. There is no need for continuous growth.

Nano2rad | 6 years ago | on: I Grew Up Gifted, but My Life Didn’t Turn Out the Way I Expected
Putting gifted students into separate class or being allowed to skip grade is not a good idea. The children should study with others of the same age at least up to 18 years. There should not be skipping grade and no failing grade as in the past. The thinking of children changes rapidly from year to year until they are 18. A lot of what we study is understanding how we interact with our fellow human beings. This is affected when skipping grade. It will be difficult to interact with fellow students not your age.

Food is clean and fresh but no flavor. It is not like food you get in standard restaurants. In short it is not best meal. Maybe they got info about BBC visit. Not seen idly in Indira canteen.

Congress party cannot do such things. Congress is ruling Punjab. Number of people having food in langar run by Sikhs is not common in Karnataka anyway. So canteen as anti-sikh symbol is not possible.

There are two kind of mathematics books, pure mathematics and problem oriented. Pure mathematics text books needs not give real life examples or context, that is the way they are supposed to be.

If it is poverty, they could start such projects after 2 years in industry, after they become somewhat comfortable. It is somthing else.

Alcohol consumers and old people tell the truth. Youth are not able to decipher the truth, even if they do they cannot tell.

Where are the unions in Indian IT companies and BPOs?

Vote is secret in India. There is no way for politician to find out where your vote went except some guess work, but still people vote for the politiician who paid the money which is strange. There have been no news report about politicians taking revenge because people did not vote for him. If such news had come election commission would do something and media would not be silent.

Indian villages are still tribal. The tribal cheiftains win the elections. As there is no legitimate methods to be chieftains, the way to be one is to show power or be a criminal. Now real power is with politician, and crininals become politicians. There is also corruption. The higher posts are occupied by castes in higher levels. There has to be a way to create a level playing field and that is not to stop corruption but force the bureaucrats to take bribes from all sections of the society. For that you need criminals as leaders. So OBC, other backward communities (official name) and communities in lower level elect leaders with criminal background. The communities in the top level have their members in bureaucracy and they are "influential".

Indian companies start subsidiaries in US so that they can send invitation to workers in India so they get H-1b visa. The companies requesting H-1b visas have to be American, Indian companies or companies working for contract to US companies should not be allowed to request H1-b visas. THe US IT workers also have to change; they have to accept some work will be outsourced and their job is now more like participating and controlling outsourcing for their employer.

If the quant programs duplicate a manager's strategies it will be useful. The manager may have forgotten some steps in making a good decision. The programs also will be helpful if you change the markets, like from US to Saudi. The programs can identify the differences in legislation, etc. that may cause your strategy to fail and you don't need to completely reformulate strategy which was successful.

For development of an area, civic infrastructure has to be developed. When there are people living in an area govt will start providing necessary infrastructure and also presence of people reduce crime. Poorer people migrate to the empty areas first.
