Apparently India put in few to escape Tariffs

Why does a single commodity product company have a stock when that says said commodity is not even the top spot in the category?

India has roughly twice the population of Europe and is just as diverse. Treating India as a single, homogeneous entity because it's one country overlooks its vast cultural, linguistic, and demographic diversity—comparable to that of Europe. If diversity justifies country caps, it doesn't apply to India. Clinging to such policies seems outdated.

If India were divided into smaller countries like Europe, the same South Asian population, culture, and diversity would persist, but the artificial constraints tied to the name "India" would disappear.

Your response doesn't seem to address the Privacy concerns raised. Why is the policy so broad and invasive? There's no mention of how you handle PII data collected as telemetry.

On a similar note, I've a request for the HN community. Can anyone recommend a low-latency NER model/service.

I'm building an assistant that gives information on local medical providers that match your criteria. I'm struggling with query expansion and entity recognition. For any incoming query, I would want to NER for medical terms (which are limited in scope and pre-determined), and subsequently where I would do Query rewriting and expansion.

I learned much about why Quibi failed from comments rather than that article. That article is poorly written and seems more confused than the Quibi founder.

Diwali is an Hindu festival where Indians burn firecrackers in millions. Should stop the festival and firecracker.

A poor country like India can't extract justice from a rich one. We're the so-called third world, so don't deserve to ask questions.

For a long-term perspective, all world should converge on one medium of exchange and everyone must learn that. I'm not suggesting an English hegemony here. We need to avoid balkanization.

Arabic language has subsumed many local languages to be dominant in that part of world. A Bedouin feels a cultural bias towards Arabia if he starts coding in this language.

I'm from India and non-Hindi speaker; if coding is done in Hindi it's cultural bias towards Northern India as opposed to where I'm from.

He was referring to RDS list price.

This assumes there can be many prefix matches for any given url hash.

How many times (probability) do you think a 32-bit hash prefix matches more than one 256-bit hash? Very very unlikely; it's one-to-one practically speaking.

Holy moly. I thought it was a thing with my phone and not a wider problem...

I have made similar set of argument, but against a religion. That an archaic religious dogma is winning over 21st century progressive principles. I got shut and banned for displaying something-phobia.

Nice reminder to us non-Americans, that we essentially live in digital colonial era, where our livelihoods can be effed up at one strike of signature.

Funny I thought this about containers and kept on reading README, realized only when I actually saw example "images".

That's when you go to Google. Asking us is akin to using us as a proxy for Google.

"Reputed journalists" You're what I thought, a closet elitist who thinks rest of the masses are dumb just because they don't agree with you, and try to label abusing the power journalism. In a sense you're part of psuedo-intellectual bigotry.

Yes it's not racism but Hinduphobia. And since author seems to attach this Hinduphobia with development of India and current state of poverty, he's indirectly saying Hinduism is the cause; which is what our British colonizers used to say. So it's not racism but Imperialism laced with Hinduphobia.

So you're talking about what bunch of politicians say rather than textbooks?

Infact India has by far the better textbooks compared to developed countries like US. No one questions Theory of Evolution but many Christian schools and Islamic countries teach students to question this. Similarly abortion, anti-vax etc. Looks like US is suffering from religious-tribalism.

I was wrong to assume your were from some Western country and used the word "racism". The right word is Hinduphobia. When India is defending itself from neighboring country which named it's country, constitution based on religion, you are terming this defense as some sort of religious chavunism.

Many abhramic religions teach hatred towards polytheistic and idol worshipping religions like Hindusism and call it pagans and what not names. I believe you're indulging into same and spewing a hatred for Hinduism and spreading Hinduphobia disguised as 'religious-tribalism' word.

Well it's because UK population is 66mn while China population is 1400mn.

UK was the oppressor and had all the riches in the world. Infact I feel so bad w.r.t to UK despite conquering, looting so many countries some significant percentage of population lives in poverty.

Query was "area 51 goto DevTools and edit"?

Not long ago Facebook was praised especially in "White" countries media on how Facebook was helping establish "democracy" in "third-world" or "non-white" countries. Tired of this 'not in my backyard' mentality' of US polity.

This is the reason I'm sceptical of signing up for Google Stadia. People are heavily betting it would fail, and Google being Google will be quick to shutdown when it sees that.

An external camera with Image processor does that

Seems promising, will check this out.

Off topic: Is Scala still being adopted by new teams? I did couple of Scala dev jobs and later the market kind of died down, want to know if others are witnessing the same.

This might be possible for probably computer science education, if you want to be a lawyer, banker, architect college education is MUST

Straight out of the article: "India’s air quality crisis is usually most acute after the Hindu festival of Diwali in autumn, when hundreds of thousands of Indians release firecrackers".

I think Indian Hindus should go easy on their festival celebrations, especially given how it pollutes the already messed up air.
