An Useful Tool

In today's world, almost all the problems we face is insanely complex. The easiest and probably the most effective way to solve it is by trial and error. I think that we should use this method more aggressively in most of the problems in all the aspects of our lives.

Below here is the TED video by Tim Harford who beautifully explains its importance:

Using RSS


RSS is probably one of the most important tool web has developed and is almost a decade old (which is very old considering that world wide web itself isn’t even two decades old) and yet so many people I know have absolutely no idea what it is. I don’t want to explain what it is, do the web search by yourself in case you are interested.

But this is what you need to know: 

RSS is best for following a large number of blogs and infrequently updated sites. It saves lots and lots of time.

So, What did you assume?

For this blog let me use the following terminology:

Prediction - It is a statement of what will happen.
Forecast - It is a statement of what you think will happen, based on certain assumptions about the world - assumptions about the  external environment and about your own future actions and those of others.

What is Immutable?

This is a very hard question to reply. But if I were to describe it in one sentence, it would be that 

"It is a community which follows a set of rules to improve the quality of life of its members."

Now you might be wondering "Isn't all communities do the same thing or at least can claim that it does?" And now if you are expecting me to say how Immutable is very different, then sorry for the disappointment. The basic philosophy of Immutable is so very basic and simple that it is boring to explain. But let me do it anyway - "It is people working together to improve each other's lives." Immutable is just very efficient at doing this, that is all.

Now you might be wondering how Immutable does it? The answer for this is also very simple - "We follow certain set of rules or guidelines."

In case, you have more questions like
  • What are the rules / guidelines?
  • Why are there rules / guidelines?
  • How did you come up with it?
  • Does it keep changing?
  • Who changes these rules / guidelines? or How?
  • How many are there in Immutable? Who are they?
and so on...

Follow this blog or better join Immutable and all the above questions and more will be answered.

PS: Here is the list of advantages of being in Immutable
