- 2^3, log_2(8) ... why do we have 3 different ways ? Because, playing with tautologies is the whole point of mathematics (and language) ! - The new "notation" is essentially expressing the same language in a different alphabet. I

I have no stake in the matter; it's fairly obvious I'm speaking to people of the parasitical colonial class (bourgeoisie ?). Your argument is no different from that "rational" @kartD. It's fairly obvious, you don&#x

Such linguistic dissonance that you even have your directions wrong ! What's next you'll claim freedom movements are far right ?! Wow such ability to live with lies. Astonishing. I can only hope India goes through "clone wars

For one thing, the point of a proof is not its use merely for showing the validity or invalidity of a statement, but in the generation of new approaches/theories. Atleast that's my view of Math; this is not to say either that bein

It should be noted that there is some reason to aesthetically dislike computer-generated proofs. It's not mentioned by Baez, but one of the first breakthroughs in the Erdos discrepancy problem was a very verbose (running into a few GBs

For the sake of posterity, the parent here is not contending that exclusion exists, but is claiming that it is "inevitable" like "manifest destiny". More resources on this ghastly society, - A book which basically arrive

Aren't bailout in fiat systems fundamentally different ? I mean central banks create money and then lend them out to cover losses; this is distinct from ETH where stolen coins were returned. More like the financial fraud police; less l

There is nothing new that you say other than, - some unqualified pedantry about the data being from 2001. "Oh yeah, we used to oppress people for eons; they've adapted in the past decade." - The number of fluent English spea

Uhh. I wish you could atleast understand this lingua franca you constantly speak of (see disclaimer above). If not please don't bring this moralizing non-sense. Narratives don't make for either logic or reason. I'm not even s

It almost appears as if there is a class of Indians who learn English first and then barely, if at all, learn any of the native languages. I wonder if the similar GDP per-capita of India, Africa are the result of such shared colonial baggag

Okay. I can't spend so much time explaining the virtues of "freedom". I also can't spend time trying to reason with "rational" people who like all the post-modernists basically believe in narratives, and not tr

Okay folk. I understand HN crowd (and apparently the Indian subset too) don't like hearing ill of the British empire. I concede that everything was/is well and that English is the only "rational" choice for every affair

I don't think you understand what 'lingua franca' means. No self-respecting people (in Europe/East Asia atleast) give up their languages for a common medium. See, http://www.flipkart.com/ (only English)

Technological/economic structures are separate from cultural spheres; most countries follow a Western model today. It'd have been a great loss if during Meiji period Japan lost all its culture. I'm sure you sensed the sarcasm

Interesting. I noticed that ISRO is actually in the south; it'd appear that neither the north nor the south have any linguistic identity. (To wit, the French speak English to get on with fellow Europeans but everything important out of

Has anyone noticed how everything of value out of India is only in English (the other lang link is blank) ? This sort of thing would be anathema in China; what with all the 'millenium of humiliation' and things. Odd, considering t

Sweet! I've always wished a better type systems were available in dynamic languages. These deficiencies are clearly visible in Lisps where you're given great meta-power with macros, but where the type system starts fighting petula

Is there a (recommended) add-on that does this ?

Is "fingerprint" here referring to the Javascript fingerprint ? ( https://panopticlick.eff.org/ ) This is much more potent than IP address, but there don't seem to be much defense against this.

Not quite. While US may be an ethnic melting pot, it is steeped in WASPy culture (apologies for the racial term). Europe while bland food-wise is far more diverse (linguistically atleast), so there is more to "preserve". Russia se

Digression: There is some reason to believe that "religion" has no real epistemological grounding outside the Abrahamic world.
