Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread
Mods, sorry for the OT - will remove the post after it’s seen. Dhyana, your posts are very informative on the science of the vaccine. I am actually starting some research in this area and have a lot of questions - would it be possible for me to ask these offline? If so, what’s the best way to reach ...

Re: Indian Manufacturing Sector
Hi Titash, I'm 100% baniya and have family members who span the spectrum! One cousin is into import/export of housewares and refuses to innovate on even that, while another builds automobile diagnostics rigs and is doing R&D to improve those and export them. I have many stories of true baniyagir...

Re: Indian Manufacturing Sector
Its a chicken and egg issue. While I understand csaurabh's frustration, it makes no sense to blame baniyas, as they are no different than businessmen anywhere else. Right now the 'baniyas' are being smart and using labor arbitrage to their advantage. Even the government is exploiting low-tech approa...

It would also perhaps help if we try to better understand how biological systems work at molecular/atomic/subatomic levels. Just my very humble opinion.

I'm not sure how you interpret the M3 long term trend as linear. The 'max' view of the data shows that the graph is parabolic. Sorry, should have been more clear - the 1-year and 5-year trends are quite linear. There is an option of adding a trend line and the 1 year and 5 year match it - there is ...
