Regressing through numbers for a living. Tumbling through space-time for a thrill. Pro-free market liberal. An optimist.

Big appreciation to @blinkit ambulances and @albinder They’ve genuinely been a ray of hope in so many recent emergencies. The Satya Niketan situation was handled really well by Team Blinkit. Hope they get all the support needed and are soon available across every part of the nation. #SatyaNiketan

@RaideoMars More accurate? Wrap this map on a sphere and see what we get. Do we get an accurate portrayal?

Each projection has its own limitations. Mercator is extremely useful.

On this day in 1986, Palestinian terrorists hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, Pakistan. They brutally murdered 21 people and wounded more than 100.

Flight attendant Neerja Bhanot hid American passports and helped passengers escape. She was killed two days before turning 23.

Remember her courage.

@Aunindyo2023 Sir, do you really believe this or do you just post dumb things to farm engagement?

@avi_eisen This Tuesday? Or any Tuesday in the past?

If it’s just last Tuesday, then it’s 50%. The other child is the older child and can be a girl or a boy.

If any Tuesday long ago, then 33.3%. The other child could be older or younger. So choose BB among BG, GB and BB=1/3

@abhishekaitc @sagarikaghose Unfortunately the people whom you targeted all these years couldn’t get the kind of publicity you get from a tweet. @sagarikaghose couldn’t retweet their plight.

You and your cabal deserve no sympathy.

@Kaju_Nut Indeed. Interaction is via the weak force.

[debjyotiarr @debjyotiarr]

@Kaju_Nut No event has ever been observed anywhere except in the noise band. Till now. You can also see how far the point is, which means the signal to noise ratio is huge even for a single event.

@Kaju_Nut The rectangular region is the fiducial region. If photon count exceeds this, the detectors are saturated. The contours are for expected DM mass - one number for electronic recoil and another for nuclear recoil.

@farhad_tarapore @IndLibertarians @MumbaiPolice Your problem has a very simple solution: don’t listen to it.

[Lee Kuan Yimby @LeeKuanYimby]

I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.

Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.

There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.

I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.

Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.

India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.

Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.

Very honored that NALSAR Univeristy of Law was one among the very few pragmatic groups who invited me end of last month to speak on science, rationalism and humanism. I met and spoke to a niche, logical group of young faculty and students who gave me hope that irrational narrratives, dogmatism and bandwagon fallacies will be questioned.

This "witch-hunting" will only strengthen the rationalists. The time for equating organizational tenure, seniority or age with moral or factual correctness is going to be over. Boomer generation and sycophantic nationalist millenials should start coping with this fact.

Margaret Mead said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.

I will release it!

@suhasinih Good!

[debjyotiarr @debjyotiarr]

@tib @exergiovanni @nntaleb I haven’t missed the point. It says if a teacher cannot teach a class without preparation, that person is not worth listening to. Which means a teacher is good if he/she doesn’t need to prepare. What if the person does prepare? Should students not listen to him/her?

I'm tired of the Chomskyist masochism that underpins the thinking of the far-left. The idea that Western society is inherently evil and at fault for everything

Russia invades Ukraine "Our fault because the West is Evil"
Islamist Terror attack "Our fault because the West is Evil"
