Specifically wrt to vegetarianism, non meat-eating Indians cannot be classified as intolerant (which is central to NNT's claim). Specific beef intolerance has become very vocal of late and you can see the effects across various parts o

Would love to see a more detailed write-up, if one exists, on your experience. We're nowhere near your scale but will probably ramp up in the next year or so.

This looks very good and a fit for my end users who deal with excel files all the time. Is there any plans to add Excel as a datasource? Cannot convert to CSV without major pain since excel files are exports from mainframe apps which are ou

I think you may be missing the larger point the authors are trying to make. It's more nuanced. For every item on a treatment pathway, ask if there is peer reviewed evidence backed by a randomized clinical trial (where possible) to supp

Your point is well-taken but there is an incredibly limited number of hybrid vehicles in India (only 2 actually) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_industry_in... But given the age of India's elect

I initially found that strange too given that there is a distinct Sri Lankan Tamil dialect (Jaffna, Batticaloa versions etc) but it looks like Sinhala came in as an original Indo-Eurpoean language and mingled with surrounding languages to b

This link talks about prevalence rates. I don't see anything talking about an increase in autism rates that is not just explained by increase in diagnoses as the OP claimed

Quantum mechanics mostly but with impacts in quantum computing. If you come from the computing side and want to tangentially back into quantum mechanics from the quantum computing side, I would highly recommend Andy Matuschak and Michael Ni

Higher up the ladder you go in any organization, the more likely you are, to find the dark triad of personality - narcissism, psychopathy and machiavellianism [1] There has also been academic interest in exploring with narcissistic leadersh

Specifically wrt to tests like SAT, GMAT and other type of admissions testing, I believe the idea of practicing on the test as a whole is to allow you to get better at "strategizing" your time thereby maximizing the number of ques

Very interesting. FWIW Martin Fowler, Pramod Sadalge et al have spoken about the implicit schema for NOSQL dbs from a design pattern perspective for quite a while now. Here is an early 2013 slide from him which is very informational - http

Stanford NER is very powerful. If you dont want to mess around with Java, there are also Python libraries that do this very effectively and easier to get started on (e.g. NLTK or Spacy). A high level intro for both with code snippets - htt

The headline is a bit misleading and if you look at the landscape of cancer immunotherapy research you will see this generalization does not hold at all i.e. tumor mutational burden is not necessarily a good predictor of response in all typ

Interesting that you bring it up. The Indian Supreme court has always been very active and seems to provide a sense of "balance" to the political chaos that is persistent. There was a very good (albeit very west-centric) article i

Maybe it's time to break that down into "creation" and "consumption" based technology activities? This way we can co-opt the inevitable rise of technology and teach kids to add value.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your close relative. Given that it is diagnosed as a stage IV GBM, you are likely looking at some combination of clinical trial based and standard of care therapy. Do not attempt to sort through the con
