the opinion box: It's not rocket science
http://muzzlevelocity.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-not-rocket-science.html
An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Thursday, December 01, 2011. It's not rocket science. Let's think of something more apt. Manned flight? Meh An undergrad who's been paying attention in fluid mechanics class can draw a couple of control volumes and prove the Kutta-Jukowski theorem. If an undergrad can explain something, I refuse to use that to signify a complicated situation. Long story short - if you say "It's not rocket science", I will either lose all respect for your intellec...

the opinion box: Warfare in the Future
http://muzzlevelocity.blogspot.com/2015/06/warfare-in-future_13.html
An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Saturday, June 13, 2015. Warfare in the Future. So I'm going to make some extrapolations regarding how warfare / anti-insurgency will be conducted in the future based on current technological trends and problems faced by militaries all over the world. There is no guarantee that these predictions will come true, but it is a fascinating exercise to perform these extrapolations. Furthermore, the field of robotics. Drones are rapidly becoming a thing.

the opinion box: A new business model for news?
http://muzzlevelocity.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-new-business-model-for-news.html
An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Sunday, August 10, 2014. A new business model for news? To the individual who actually consumes the news, the internet is a blessing. It is possible to read news and opinion - immediately after publication - from any source in the world, and comprehend the entire context of the happening by following a few hyperlinks. And all this is free. For now. But paywalls are a deeply problematic solution. Firstly, it becomes uneconomical to subscribe t...

the opinion box: Portland
http://muzzlevelocity.blogspot.com/2011/03/portland.html
An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Friday, March 04, 2011. Was in Portland for a couple of days for a hectic training trip. This was my second trip to the city (the first one having been in November). Did I mention the gloom? I could now relate to why Nirvana, Alice in Chains and the like produced such gloomy music - Seattle essentially has the same weather. There is no way you could expect bubblegum pop to arise from such a setting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). World Sunli...

An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Monday, April 18, 2011. Who do we trust? Exhibit (1) - A take-down of Communist Rule in WB from rupert murdoch's propaganda rag, the wsj. Http:/ blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2011/04/13/india-journal-the-unnecessary-decline-of-calcutta/. The post contains this patently illogical statement:. IMHO the author (Rajiv Mantri) needs to rush to a hospital to get his head examined. Certainly both can't be right, unless this is Schrodinger's politics.

the opinion box: How to decode a 6 month old.
http://muzzlevelocity.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-decode-6-month-old.html
An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Sunday, August 24, 2014. How to decode a 6 month old. After a month of being the primary caregiver for our little daughter, I believe I have understood all there is to know about infants. So, here I proffer these words of wisdom to all who find themselves in a similar boat as I did a month ago. Everything you have heard about babies providing hunger and sleepiness cues is bullshit. Babies will gravitate towards forbidden articles. Babies are not ...

An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Monday, April 25, 2011. I speak of none other than Sathya Sai Baba, Satyanarayana Raju (or Raju, as I will call him henceforth in this post, because all men are equal.). This is a sensitive topic, lots of people I know have a lot of respect for this gentleman. However, I would like to link to his wikipedia article here. Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sathya Sai Baba. And I would like to point out certain aspects within the article. He proclaimed hi...

An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Friday, September 13, 2013. Our Future is in OUR hands. Economists agree that a young developing nation (with a lot of people in the "earning" age of the population distribution) is more likely to grow (and frankly needs. To grow). Nations like Russia and Japan have lots of old people ( an inverted population pyramid. That's part of the reason why the last 10 years have been the best in India's recorded history, as far as average economic growth ...

the opinion box: Only 2 ways out
http://muzzlevelocity.blogspot.com/2011/03/only-2-ways-out.html
An archive of perspectives, rants and general meanderings. Saturday, March 19, 2011. Only 2 ways out. I've come to realize that there's only 2 ways the entire crisis of 2008 could have been dealt with. 1) Let the banks fail and face the depression that the pundits promised would follow. 2) Big governments saves the banks, averts a depression. RAP, when you re-opened this blog, you promised more humour! 28 March, 2011 06:17. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Only 2 ways out.
