Fuel used in Ships is very different from Gasoline.

abhi152 | 6 years ago | on: The electric car as a talisman of false hope

Ok, so the author suggests nothing.. He fails to describe the solution(if any). May be the solution is population control.

She never said she was very good at what she did. Yes, she was working like crazy but that is a different thing. Being overly invested in career mostly makes you very good at what you do.

abhi152 | 7 years ago | on: The Bitter Regrets of a Useless Chinese Daughter

It has less to do with China but more to do with the Author being so far from the home. Tomorrow her Mom might need her more and the government can only help that much. These are all the choices people make in life..

Good that you will never go to them again. Whose mistake was it that you ended up there in the first place ?

abhi152 | 8 years ago | on: Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka Resigns

think about your comment and than think again. Do you really believe it doesn't actually solve a problem ? Not at all ?

I find it weird when people curse Indian IT companies which were once their employers. Is it not true that once upon a time you were only fit to join them because no one else would have employed you.

abhi152 | 9 years ago | on: Recovering from Burnout and Depression

I feel that this is a over simplified version of a much deeper problem and cannot be concluded based on the experience of the Author alone. There are many things that cause burnout and many different reasons that cause depression. In the case of author the Work did it but there are people in this world who get burnt out because of sickness of their loved ones or even because of ambition & their vision. Interestingly the word depression is not even mentioned in the article.

Did the Cat's behavior change ?

abhi152 | 9 years ago | on: Why Continuing to Work Is Good for a Man’s Health

@ergo You have a terrific mindset. To quote you "The only reason I ever get......... to do what I want". How does your brain keep itself so engaged ?

abhi152 | 10 years ago | on: A Basic Income Should Be the Next Big Thing

The simple answer is : A subsidy of such large proportions is not economically viable for the Govt.

abhi152 | 10 years ago | on: Why I haven't given up on C++

I am interested on your views about Portability. While Boost and STL are portable in terms of static compilation Boost gives you very painful bugs at runtime :(. I also would like to know why you say that Java is portable on paper ?

abhi152 | 10 years ago | on: Does exercise slow the aging process?

very true.

abhi152 | 10 years ago | on: Deep Learning: An MIT Press Book in Preparation

Very surprising that the PDF is not downloadable and the HTML is very hard on the eyes :(

abhi152 | 10 years ago | on: What You Believe Affects What You Achieve

Nobody inspires for ever. There might have been other Kings half as good as Alexander but nobody remembers them. People remember Mohammad Ali most people don't know who Joe foremon was. You great grand parents were probably very good people but they are likely forgotten as well.

abhi152 | 10 years ago | on: Can a Wandering Mind Make You Neurotic?

+1 for the first two paragraphs. Though I am not a psychologist I have seen your observation to be true in many cases. I would classify this line as gold "while my son’s mental life is closely connected to the outside world, my daughter spends much of her life inside her own head". I have never met a person who has many outward connections and is depressed the assumption is that those connections are real.
