   This is still (after 74 years) a hugely popular book among student pilots to understand the basics of fling. Technically, very little has changed over all those years. Popular training and GA aircraft like the Cessna 152/172 are built

   > intentionally stalling the engine to practice recovery procedures Are you talking about stalling the aircraft or stalling the engine? As far as I know, intentionally shutting down the engine is considered too dangerous for PPL training

   > p(mud | rain) = 1.0 > p(rain | mud) = p(rain) I'm not sure these statements say what you think they do. Assuming P(rain) > 0, the first statement p(mud | rain) = 1.0 is equivalent to p(mud & rain)

    What you're looking for is called answer set programming. It has pretty much replaced logic programming as a research focus, and a number of implementations exist.

    I'm surprised that this article doesn't mention Hotelling's law ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotelling%27s_law ), which is a well known economic principle that explains exactly this phenomenon.

    Yes it does. In fact, in classical logic, A->B is equivalent to !B->!A. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraposition

    There is indeed a probabilistic interpretation of ranks. It's discussed here: http://ac.els-cdn.com/0004370295000909/1-s2.0-00043702950009...

    Thanks! The principle could be applied to many languages, just like probabilistic programming also has been applied to many languages (look for example at Venture, Church, IBAL). This is something I'd like to do in the future. Perhaps

    RankPL can be used instead of probabilistic programming for problems where probabilities are unknown, but where it's still possible to distinguish normal from surprising behavior of a model. Admittedly, this is still quite abstract. I&

    To be fair, these are debates about issues that are rather insignificant from a broader CS perspective. Engineering problems (methodology, network protocols, file systems, kernel implementation details) or debates that are infamous mostly d

    It's multiplication in the sense that for two base-2 numbers A and B, A & B is the same as A * B, but I get your point.

    The complexity of the formula and the "striking features" of the graph only demonstrate that operations defined in one base (AND is nothing but multiplication in base 2) may behave in complex and non obvious ways in other bases.
