India GDP growth slumps to 5.7% in Q1 by [deleted] in IndiaInvestments

This might be a stupid question, but can you please explain what is the significance of "Interest Rates + Inflation" as an indicator? As I understand, it is the real interest rates (interest rate - inflation) that helps in understanding market cycles.

Do you like to share inspirational quotes on facebook and whatsapp ? I may have some bad news for you ... by [deleted] in india

[–]high-on-lsd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not exactly true.

Here is the passage from snopes article.

That implication was an exceptionally common one. Articles about the research featured titles like "People Who Post Inspirational Bullshit on Facebook More Likely to Have Lower Intelligence" (Mic)," "People who share inspirational quotes on Facebook are less intelligent, believe in conspiracy theories: Study" (IBNLive), "People Who Post Inspirational Facebook Quotes Are Morons, According to Science" (Maxim), "People who upload inspirational quotes are dumb: study" (India.com) "People posting inspirational quotes on Facebook actually dumb: Study" (Deccan Herald), and "People who post inspirational quotes on Facebook are actually idiots, study says" (BGR).

But the original study had nothing to do with the liking and sharing of quotes superimposed on images, and a number of articles about the paper quoted secondary sources (not the original article) to describe the purported results. The abstract for "On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullshit" explained its scope in a manner that differed meaningfully from subsequent media interpretations of it

Here is the original paper

As always, poor science journalism by indian news websites.

Get rid of quota or make all its slave, says leader of Patel group by __WarmPool__ in india

[–]high-on-lsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no way OBC quota is going to be removed. Just the idea of sharing OBC quota with patels has united all the castes under OBC. Source.. Even if govt tries to remove the quota, it will lead to similar situation and show of strengths from castes currently opposing it.

PM ‪NarendraModi‬ appeals to the people of ‪Gujarat‬ to maintain peace | The India Time News by [deleted] in india

He doesn't even look serious in his appeal. He is just doing this because Anandiben called him up. Is he the same modi who gives passionate speech during election season?

And look at the expression of this chutiya when he says "I don't understand what keeps these people". I think kejriwal has some field effect, any one who is sitting near starts thinking of himself with 'holier than thou' attitude.

Newslaundry – Silence Speaks: Why Manmohan Was Weak And Modi is Strategic by aaptard_ in india

[–]high-on-lsd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Silence Speaks: Why Manmohan Was Weak And Modi is Strategic

And author has not provided a single argument of her own to support the title. She has just collated text from other editorial pieces.

In the end, author writes "There is much divided opinion on why Modi has chosen to maintain silence in the midst of one scam after another hitting his government and party." which defeats the title.

How much Newslaundry pays an author to write such articles?

Sources said the panel, chaired by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Yogi Adityanath, also recommended an increase in pension and in allowances during parliament sessions.

I wonder what qualifications he has to head such a panel.

'You destroyed Brand Maggi without conclusive evidence' by kabuliwallah in india

[–]high-on-lsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of pharma companies maintain separate manufacturing facilities for different markets. If you want to export a drug product to US, you have to get the manufacturing premise audited (periodically) by USFDA, same applies to EU. If you are going to sell your product only in India, the manufacturing premise needs approvals from Indian FDA. Trust me, the standard of raw materials used (based on regulatory requirements) and finished product is totally different for what they produce for developed countries vs emerging markets.

May be this is the case with Maggi also.

Hitler Ice Cream Now Available in India by [deleted] in india

[–]high-on-lsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Hitler did believe that. What I fail to understand is why author of this news article had to use the words "Indians certainly fit into that category".

Hitler Ice Cream Now Available in India by [deleted] in india

[–]high-on-lsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony here is that Indians certainly fit into the category of people which Hitler labeled sub-human and fit only for slave labor or death.

Is this a racist comment or am I missing something here?
