    Other Battery replacement for LG V30+

    I haven't. Will check with them. Any idea what the shelf life of these batteries is? Even if they have any, wouldn't it be at least 2-3 years old. Will the after market batteries sold in US/Europe be any better?

    Ayurveda for Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders at IISc

    I would like more allocation for studying this 'placebo effect'. Not kidding. What is it that allows some people to recover with sugar pills? Wouldn't we, as a society, want more such people? There is instructive story from the field of engineering. The story of J B Gunn, the inventor of Gunn...

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    Thanks. That is reassuring. Even I was thinking of Mirae Asset (looks like they have increased the rate from 9 to 10.5 :( ) I am assuming you are asking about Smallcase. Considering their main offering is 'one click' investing, I doubt. You can, however, talk to the fund manager. My smallcase...

    Unless there is more context, I doubt Sadhguru's statement means what the twitter poster thinks it does.

    Ayurveda for Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders at IISc

    Pharma companies often use traditional medicine for drug design. Some times just repackaging the active compound. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1240543/ The story of Aspirin. Active compound of a traditional medicine: https://www.aspirin-foundation.com/history/the-aspirin-story/...

    Bad news for coders?

    Like compilers in the 60s? :) Or OOP in the 80s or Java in the 90s. Still getting paid for C code.

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    Have been using them for a few years. Recommended. Has anyone taken a loan against mutual funds? Since I am fully invested, I want a credit line for emergencies. My question is, how complex is the process of removing the lien once I am done.

    Science..... Really ?

    Amitabh Sinha should have waited another 6 years. 100 will sound better in a headline :) Claiming to understand the 'why' of a complex societal problem is usually a sign of inexperience. You will rarely see a real scientist make such claims. American science thrives in spite of the creationist...

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    This is a myth propped by Israel's opponents. Seven big countries attacking a nation of 20 million looks bad. A mighty invincible Israel backed by the great Satan America, however, is a legitimate target.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    Americans have their own grievance list against Israel (and Jews in general). USS liberty, AIPAC, every spying scandal, dual loyalty, control of media, blah blah ... But the problem is much deeper. If Jews and Europeans (by this I mean people of European descent) are allies, Europeans are the...

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    More like marriage of convenience. Two societies with such different worldviews cannot be allies. In fact, many Israeli intellectuals have been trying to extricate themselves from this European/American stranglehold on their affairs (Amos oz being one of them). Anyone who has one hour, take a...

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    US will provide a face saving path to Iran. Forget the noise Americans make. US needs Iran to keep both the Arabs and Israel in check. If Arabs and Israelis subdue Iran, US will lose relevance in west Asia, something European Zionists Americans will never accept.

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    Very strange wording in the artcile "In India, over 50% of mutual fund units of regular plans were sold or redeemed within one year, according to a recent report by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The regulator has proposed changes to total expense ratio (TER), including...

    All mutual funds have to disclose their portfolio. That is a good starting point. Or subscribe to a smallcase.

    So what is the deal with Ductless Chimney and how to and stuff?

    Do keep in mind that its ability to handle fume/smoke is limited. It is more like an indoor air filter than a real chimney.
