BOOTSTRAPPING

I always believed that it referred to using as few resources as possible.

Here in this article under the section titled Bootstrapping is an alternate explanation i.e. that Bootstrapping uses a tool to build another, more complex, tool. Way cool, and complementary - in that both meanings should apply.

The article is also about some really important thinkers.

Here is the link.

Why we should be concerned about Urjit Patel's resignation

Without sounding condescending, only to underscore my point, it should be blindingly obvious that the reason we should be worried is that it points to the people in power trying to remove checks and balances.

If we do not do anything, India will soon be a Fascist state.

While it is Modi and his companions this time, the comment above applies to ANY time!

Here is Raghuraman Rajan making the same point.

A red flag article by Bloomberg that is worth sharing

I found this article to be informative .... I am biased though and it is possible I am only looking at aspects that support my views.

Read on ....
