I'm looking for some references on past research that has been done which tries to predict how long a pandemic would last based on various factors like source of the outbreak, vaccination available or not, nature of the virus, etc. This research could be based on pandemics that have plagued our society in the past.Any research papers on the same or reference links would be highly appreciated on...

I'm in talks with getting into a business partnership with someone as a tech co-founder. My main responsibilities would include leading the product development, planning the architecture and managing a tech team. My co-founder's responsibilities would be to lead the vision, bring in clients for our products and putting in the initial investment required to get things running.In such a business...
> I've built many systems in this area, but it wasn't until I started working in the Indian market (>10 yrs ago) that it became abundantly clear that trying to calculate the long/shorts signals using historical (/time series) data was a waste of time. (And yet my primary role was to provide tools that did exactly that).
I'm currently working on building similar tools in my area of work for the Indian market and would really appreciate if you could shed some more light into the things you learned from your experience in working in this domain.

As a programmer who is suddenly entrusted with a lot of responsibilities at work, I'm having a hard time coping up with the uncertainty of not knowing a lot of things I'm supposed to be knowing. For example, I don't have much experience designing complex architectures and making the system work at scale, and that's exactly what I'm supposed to be working on at work in the coming weeks. There...

Currently 25. I'm currently working full-time as a programmer in a startup, and working another job on weekends. Have been trying to spend an hour or two every day in exploring the domain of Machine Learning. The rest of my free time is spent in reading (I try to read a book a month), watching a TV series or just browsing various tech and business related websites.
I've never been busier in my life. And yet, I feel like I haven't been able to accomplish a lot with the limited time I have at my disposal after work and a long day's commute. As a result, I have to cut back on my sleep. I average about 5 hours of sleep a day every week, which is not nearly enough. I do get burned out from time to time, following which I take a day or two off every month or so to recuperate.
My plan for the next few years is to start my own tech business. At 25, everything I do on a daily basis is my attempt to attain financial freedom so that I can spend the rest of my life doing what I really want to do and no longer work for money, but work because I want to on things I find meaningful.

So about 5 years ago, someone I knew had a stroke, and incidentally, as soon as we administered a sugar liquid, he came into his senses and we were able to prevent any permanent and lasting damage to his brain. The doctor said that he suffered an Ischemic stroke.Coming back to today, he started showing symptoms of stroke again after all these years - difficulty maintaining balance or...

As a student or as someone who has recently graduated, how would you decide which domain you are inclined towards and then decide to pursue a career in it?I have met quite a few students and recently graduated freshers who have had good grades and a sound technical knowledge, but are clueless about the domain that they want to pursue a career in. Having a plethora of options to chose from only...
I really liked the minimalist design and color pattern of the product. Just one feature request: can I also see how many unique visitors have been on my side project page? The visitor count increments every time I reload the page, which may not really tell me how many visitors have shown interest in my project. A unique visitor count would give me better insights.
I was about to start working on a side project of mine today and I couldn't have found Prehave at a better time. Do visit https://prehave.com/p/bookay for my side project's constant updates!

I've been maintaining textual notes of the various books that I have read for future reference for quite some time now in notepad. I'm pretty sure some of you maintain such notes too which you could then refer to later on.
That got me thinking about the scope of a web application that would allow users to maintain, share and rate other user's book notes. This product won't be similar to...

I'm currently planning to organize a 5-day coding bootcamp in Mumbai next month on game development. What does it take to organize a successful coding bootcamp? I have hired a good trainer and have a space that can be used to accommodate at least 15 students. I'm planning to provide free lunch on all five days to everyone involved, along with certifications. Have also developed a website with a...

Which are some of the best talks/seminars I can find on programming intended for beginners? I am supposed to conduct a seminar on programming in a university next week and I want to make sure I do my research well before speaking in front of the students.
I've bookmarked your website for future use. I have lost count of the number of hours I've spent in coming up with unique names for my web projects, and your software would surely help me in the name brainstorming process.

Basically, I'm working on an application where my users would submit their blog posts or links of their articles and I will display metrics likes total views, total social shares, etc.So given any valid link, is there an API that can help me fetch those analytics?
I liked the idea and the sample issue that was provided. Have even registered my email address for the same. However, I really hated the background gif on your landing page. Never been a fan of moving pictures in the background of a website.
The term 'wantreprenuer' could seem insulting to a lot of to-be and current entrepreneurs. Even if your website is content-rich, you'll put off a lot of traffic because of that term. Nobody likes being labelled a 'wantrepreneur'.

Works just as intended. I work in a startup where we constantly have to send invoices and contracts to our users, and this service could really alleviate the hassles of legality at our end.
I'm one of the co-founders of
http://www.grayscaletraining.com. We have tested this model of free email subscription based courses to teach programming with over a 100 students from our alma mater. So far, the response has been positive. Any feedback regarding our model would be highly appreciated.

Well, I have been using your app for about 20 minutes now, and it sure does what it is supposed to do. The most annoying thing I have used in a long time!
The fact that the term 'hashtag' is now a part of people's everyday vocabulary is a testament to the indication of how successful Twitter has been and still is.
How is it any different from the many other location bookmarking applications already available in the market?
I wonder how this idea could help in delivering stuff in particular locations, like a certain apartment address. This idea, although an innovative one, could still fail in a lot of scenarios.
One of the reasons why this would work is that you'd need to befriend a rival spectator before you enter the arena for the match just to get entry inside the stadium. Spending some time with a rival spectator would make one realize that even the rival team's supporters are football fans too at the end of the day. Great initiative !
It's ironic how we in the outside world take our freedoms for granted.
