Re: BR Maths Corner-1
I came across this lovely 30 min video on YT explaining Combintory Logic. It has to be seen at 0.5 speed or even 0.25 speed to work out everything he says in the video. It is quite fascinating that he could get across the basics of combinatory logic, going from S, K, I to Y Combinator and then iota ...

Re: West Asia Crisis — Discussion, Developments, and Bharat’s Strategy
10 year US treasuries are at 4.92% and 20 years at 5%. NRI deposits in India - FDs - are at 6.5% last I looked. Falling INR and India country rating are they worh that extra 1.5% extra interest? You still have to pay US taxes on the interest you earn in India, even on zero-coupon bonds.
