    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    Difficult to get those patents nullified in most cases. Also if governments become aggressive towards converting most propriety medicines into generics then the Pharma companies will stop their research which can run into hundreds of millions of dollars and we will end up with no new drug...

    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    I have a query to anyone using online merchants for medicines. Are you not worried about your medical history being stored over the internet? Any data leak could lead to your entire disease history becoming public. Even if not directly, looking at your medical purchases will give us an idea of...

    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    Actually I want to counter argue that medicines are actually cheaper in India. First, we don't have much R&D, most of the medicines are researched in Western countries, then they sell in India for an inflated price (even half of US prices is a lot). Next our companies slowly start copying the...

    Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe—and threatening the future of crypto

    They can't stop mining since everyone will start withdrawing from it (convert bitcoin to legal tender) and the whole scheme will collapse It will be fun watching this ponzi scheme collapse I can't fathom what effects it will have on the global markets

    Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe—and threatening the future of crypto

    This was already discussed in a few posts that taxing doesn't make it illegal. Same way if you are found with a lot of unaccounted money then you have to pay tax on it along with penalty and some jail time (if your game is weak) 95% of the people in our country don't pay taxes doesn't reflect...

    Anyone tried lectin free diet.

    When you propose a new idea like the one above, it usually stems from some hypothesis It is tested and cemented by facts by testing it again and again In the scientific community these are done by rigorous testing using a large number of people for a very extended period of time Say 1000 people...

    Guess being told as kids that we couldn't just make and print money using our computers was a lie Time to open the yellow pages and reconnect with the computer science teacher

    Laser MultiFunction Suggestion Please

    It is quite similar to the model I have. You will never need to connect it by USB. The only time I ever did was to print my thesis correction copies, not because I needed it but as a precaution. Their mobile app is useful for scanning needs iphone and iPad do a better job connecting to the...

    Laser MultiFunction Suggestion Please

    Congratulation. I can't believe these printers still cost so much. I bought mine 4 years back and it was released a few years prior to that. Do check out the prices at a local dealer too. Sometimes they are cheaper especially when it comes to printers.

    Help me choose new tv: HiSense U6g 65inch or Lg OLED A1 55 inch

    I have a 65" LG C9 and a 50" Vu unit and I just can't stand the latter. The difference in the picture quality is so drastic that sometimes I end up stopping my binge for a latter day on the OLED TV. I also cringe when someone offers to watch a movie that we haven't yet watched at their place...

    Help me choose new tv: HiSense U6g 65inch or Lg OLED A1 55 inch

    This is horrifying to an OLED user. How did it happen? How many hours are those channels run daily? Did you run pixel refresh weekly or monthly? My TV is completely on OTT so I am hoping it would be safe. Only hotstar with their effing logo scares me.

    Help me choose new tv: HiSense U6g 65inch or Lg OLED A1 55 inch

    Could you post the link of the sale. Did you use the Axis bank CC which associates with FK the same way as Amazon ICICI does? I was hoping to get an upgrade to 80k from my measly (not mentioning) present limit. I guess I am in the wrong profession to be demanding higher limits above 1-2L.

    Help me choose new tv: HiSense U6g 65inch or Lg OLED A1 55 inch

    Offtopic warning It was a weird experience for me too. My application got rejected for some reason. I submitted all the documents offline to their agent and everything was signed. Then one day when I am mid surgery an agent comes to inquire if I work there, despite being told by numerous people...
