Haskell could shine in numerical computing. I think the key is polymorphism: a vector is a matrix is a tensor is a number, and they can all be multiplied in the same way, once you define what multiply is.

Poor support is more about the lack of haskell coders doing ML. It's hard to compete without the numbers that other platforms enjoy.

Akerlof's: If you don't know whether you are being sold a lemon, you probably think you are, and will only pay lemon prices. Hence brands and hence public market information openness.

Minsky: stability begets hubris begets instability in an endless cycle of humanity's economic systems. Governments need big balance sheets to sort that shit out.

Samuelson: free trade with low-wage nations could hurt workers in a high-wage country. Duh.

Keynes: beyond a point, people will not borrow any more no matter the interest rate, thank you very much. When this happens, governments should borrow (at very low rates) and spend to avoid economic malaise and collapse. They should not be austere.

Nash Equilibrium: Watch Beautiful Mind

Mundell-Fleming: A country can only ever do two of these things: fix the exchange rate, decide on interest rates, allow the free flow of capital. It's amusing when they try and do all three, or pretend to be doing something else.

Fishing for them as a kid, they were notorious for playing dead, then jumping out of the bucket and waddling back down the bank. Smart fish.

Does anyone know why communication is being shut down? Can they leave it on so we can get telemetry?

I was at a meeting just yesterday, where I said, the state borrows when rates are low. Just like SimCity.

He's sending them out to die perhaps, in his name. Is he out there? Not a nice move.

The army is secular. Every 20 years they remove some dictator or zealot that the system seems to throw up regularly. I'm not sure if there's been a split in the armed forces before, but the police always cop a hammering.

It might start off with version control, but it would then end with us gulping plump helmet slurpees watching the latest cgi DF-Marvel tie in at the local megaplex. Leave the brothers be, and let future historians earn their pay.
