The tabula-py Python library, a wrapper around tabula( https://tabula.technology/ ), can extract tables within PDFs and convert them to Pandas DataFrames. It's a great little libra…

Introduction to Statistical Learning by James, Witten, Hastie, and Tibshirani is one of the most popular books for gaining a fundamental understanding of machine learning. All of t…

Did you see all of the side effects from the vaccine vs the placebo? Here it is in percentages: * Redness 5.8 vs 1.1 * Swelling 6.9 vs 1 * Pain 86 vs 23 * Fever 10 vs 1 * Fatigue 6…

Seychelles has vaccinated 68.5k of its 98.5k population. [Around 25% of its total population]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Seychelles ) are 0-17, so maybe 75k max…

I saw that you doubled down on [this comment]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26181228 ). Week 5 excess mortality for 65+ in Israel is now up to 7.4 times above normal. It in…

"Only 27% of the population received both doses". This is a misinterpretation. It's like saying 0.5% die of covid. The vaccinations (and fatality rates) are extremely stratified by…

You spoke too soon and I hope you issue a correction. The last week of euroMOMO isn't nearly fully updated. All countries see an enormous drop in the last week that is then pulled …

So you admit that total case numbers are not very good, particularly compared to a neighboring country that has not started vaccinating. Thats a good first step. Scapegoating the o…

Does it also make sense that they are currently ranked #2 in the world in cases per million in the last week for countries with more that 1 million population? This is even after a…

Excess mortality for the elderly in Israel in the last 6 weeks is the highest it's been (by far) in the last 5 years. Check euroMOMO https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

Israel is experiencing very high excess deaths with respect to its elderly in 2021 (see euroMOMO https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ ) This is despite over 80% of its 70+ age …

No one was deliberately inoculated with the virus and only symptomatic people were tested. 99.96% of the placebo group did not have a severe case of covid. There is no way to deter…

I'm surprised so many people are excited about this. I have many concerns with the Pfizer vaccine * 99.96% of the placebo group did not have a serious case of covid * 99.25% of the…

Covid will be in our rear view mirror before a vaccine is safe, ready, mass produced and easily distributed. Herd immunity is not terribly far away in most countries and by the spr…

There's not a single western industrialized nation or state that can be pointed to now as a mask success story. There were a few countries in eastern europe (specifically czechia) …

Correct, I'd like dexplot to be a superset of seaborn first, making it much easier to use for those that don't want to dip into matplotlib for making minor adjustments that are nec…

Labels do not overlap and HTML tables are now fixed in the docs.

The data is the same. Dexplot automatically sorts the xtick labels alphabetically. Seaborn uses order of appearance. For the seaborn plot, the figure size and dpi have to be manual…

Thanks! I'm focused on building the user-facing API, as this is where I believe I'm best suited to make improvements due to my experience teaching and writing. I'm definitely open …
