Nano2rad··on Ask HN: Relationship between OO and functional programming?

Nano2rad··on Alan Kay's reading list
Digital Media May Be Changing How You Think. "Using digital platforms such as tablets and laptops for reading may make you more inclined to focus on concrete details rather than interpreting information more abstractly," https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/digital-media-chang...

Nano2rad··on Ask HN: How did you learn about stocks and the market?
This is the best answer. You have to know the factors influencing the market. If you are strong in at least some subjets you can spot the opportunities. If you know about economy, you could benefit when the economy is growing and it could benefit almost all companies. If you know economy is weak, you can short, just as an example. Other factors like market, management, managers, consumer behavior, govt policies, foreiegn policy, technology, raw material, rent, trading laws, stock exchanges, accounting etc. will help. Read business magazines and dailies but dont believe everything. But whatever you do, there is chance of failure. So if you are in market read Fooled by randomness and Black Swan. Investing rules from the masters say there is really no rules. You can be daytrader, long-term investor, options and futures, stock picker, index trader, etc. Actually, each style suits personality.
Nano2rad··on India's Plan to Bring Digital Banking to 1.2B People
People were forced to get UID by misinformation. The people were led to believe it was compulsory. Only by intervention of the supreme court, the govt was forced to admit it was optional. This was introduced undemocratically without legislative back up with an executive order. An example of corporate insensitivity to democracy. BJP pretended to be against UID before election. Now they have conveniently forgotten their stand.

Now there is legislation for UID, but this was introduced by deception. It was introduced as money bill in parliament, so that rajyasabha could not discuss it(BJP has majority in loksabha). Money bill can only deal with govt finances but it is now used to give approval for data collection, which needs constitutional amendment in a real democracy. This is again undemocratic and fascist. The stated aim of biometrics was to avoid duplication. but by insisting on 10 fingerprints and iris, the real aim is data collection itself. But they are really not sure UID biometrics is enough to avoid duplication, there is condition like you can only apply for it once. UID is successful by deception, ignorance, and undemocratic methods.

One solution. We will watch ads. The revenue will be taken by micropayment site like Flattr and distribute to sites we visit.
Nano2rad··on Flipkart’s valuation markdown
Flipkart's COD model has many innovations. Ecom's main payment option in US is credit cards; India does not have many people having credit cards. Also people did not want to prepay because of their past experiences with other services. Flipkart was able to COD on a large scale, became reliable and trusted, and was able to overcome people's reluctance to purchase online. Flipkart's other innovations, easy returns, their own delivery network, not depending on 3rd parties.

Nano2rad··on Is the web platform getting too big?
Moratorium will be a big waste. If developer has an idea and cannot start implementation immediately, the idea may not ever be implemented, he may not be able to recall the idea after the moratorium. If the new ideas are instead implemented in an experimental stream, immediate feedback won't be there.
