You're citing WIKIPEDIA articles? I didn't expect that from HN. I am sorry but they're not a credible sources either.

The current crisis ongoing between Nepal and India is the starting point of all this. If you follow the timeline, it was after the Nepal suddenly woke up after 30 years and started laying claims on territory which was agreed to be part of India. The current sitting govt. is highly biased for the communist, to the extent that somehow the Chinese Envoy has 'special' meetings with PM and internal handling. It's a known fact. There is strategic shift since the new PM who is has communist leaning was sworn in, since day one. Whilst, India shared Open border with Nepal during all this time, Nepal was like a brother, we had everything to share with them.

It is due due to foreign interference from Chinese side these chain of events started taking place. In Past Indian Govt. was very hesitant about border clashes but now it seems like they have had enough of the bullying.

Are you really denying the expansionism by China? If you only care about hyperlink to so called 'International Credible News Sources they're not free from Foreign interference either.

There are issues in past even with Sri-Lanka, The Chinese side has occupied an entire port by debt trap policy. The Thread posed by Chinese Expansionism is real.

but instead there are disputes between Nepal and India.

There are 2 disputes of minor region. There is no Denial of change in behavior from nepal's side, how come after decades Free trade, Open Borders, where Nepal citizen could literally get their bags and visit any city in India, decide to show their back? that too all of sudden? never in history there was a crisis like this.

Look at the larger picture, China has highest number of territorial disputes , South China Sea, Indian Border Dispute, I wonder how world has forgotten Take over of Tibet. Even Taiwan, Mongolia, Australia, Japan, They internally suppressing millions of Uighurs Muslims voices, and not to forget Hong Kong. They're debt trapping poor nations - in the name of investment they bring everything from China sounds fair enough until even the laborers are from China, its a fishy business, to an extent where they had dock yards and port in their name... It doesn't take a genius to figure out where the way leads, China's been bully for more than a decade now.

There is, every source stated it man. There was meeting at the contested location, which both sides argued that it belongs to them, and apparently India used to petrol that area. In the meet they had agreed to pull back troops, whilst the Indian side retracted the troops, the chinese did not move an inch. This was observed by Indian troops, when they(about 2-3 initially) went back to enquire this, the Chinese counterpart attack the Indian side with weapons (wire-barbed woods etc) even when weapons were forbidden in that region according to previous agreements. This was clear violation from the Chinese side. Soon the Indian troops got a information about this and they rushed to save their men. And during this clash, most of troops from both sides either died in hand to hand combat or fell down deep into the valley.

The point is that China keeps on extended their claim of what border looks like for them, showing centuries old maps and treaties. Its not just limited to India. They captured few villages from neighboring country Nepal, last year their was a similar issue at doklam in bhutan where India had to step in. They have territorial disputes with All countries, even the region where China doesn't even share border by creating artificial Islands.

It's not about losing small region, but about future consequences, they'll proclaim more land. In fact, No body understand's how they could proclaim and ENTIRE STATE of India (Arunachal Pradesh), which has Its own Democratically elected Govt, since country's independence.

The Chinese Land Grab needs to stop. It's straight up Bullying.

Are you sure? I think the title is misleading.

Hey! Thanks a lot of sharing this. I find this a inspiring. You are the man who has worn every possible hat after all. All the best for your future.

tiny doubt. How did this work? the progressive loading... was it fetching data as required, making tons of request or just loading data slowly?

Just of clarification, did they take down the project of all Iranian nationals? or simply block access to GitLab from Users with IP from Iran? Would it be possible to hide their identity, say tor or VPN?

Isn't sharing project/code, or any intellectual property with Israel or nations which Iran Supremo doesn't approve, banned too? (in Iran)

I find this ridiculous, trying to stop flow of intellectual knowledge.

China is acting like that global villainy country now. They problems with all it's neighbors, well even with a country which is separated by 100kms by sea (AUS). They're quite intelligently meddling in Nepal govt. to threaten India, at the same time taking over villages of Nepal. .They have problems with Mongols, Muslims, Tibetans, Hong Kong. All while actively debt trapping poor nations. They foul cry when a nation blocks chinese tech, but every foreign tech is pretty much banned in entire China!

I don't see any end to this. In the current COVID situation, not even a group of nations could stand up to china's domination. Maybe it's just too late to take any action. They're playing dirty, so ideally we should to. But could we? I doubt. They're lobbying power is way too tremendous. At least my country, no leader has a spine to stand up.

wait.... i am not the only one whose image viewer takes like 10s of seconds to show up! It's so horribly slow that i instead open browser and then drag the image onto browser. I beat default 100% of time!

THiS is sO aWeSoMe! But it blocked - CORS. I just tried if loop works. I guess it did get me kicked.

Yes Yes No

Wasn't it previously occupied by Saudi Arabia? Human rights committee is a joke!

China has extremely powerful group of lobbying. They have ability to control a nation. They have silenced a peaceful protest condemning Uyghurs treatment in germany - "...Think about your family" they said.[2] I doubt even Germany could do anything. Just yesterday, they raised concern of referring Genghis Khan as mongol, shamelessly trying to rewrite history.[1]

I don't understand what's the point of UN when these things are happening in a permanent UNSC member country. This C has been causing nuisance to their neighbors all the time. They Debt-Trap poor nations and exploit them. From Mongols to India, every neighbor has a problem, they are probably most worst neighbor you could get. Recently it was in news with yet another conflict with India[1]. This needs to stop. Entire World is Struggling to contain COVID while 600 million Chinese are on Vacation [2]

I see most of comments in disagreement with the topic, either partially or totally. And yet, the post has so many upvotes. What does this mean exactly?

This some mind blowing work!

Hey man.... your text is really really light. Could you please darken it? how did you do that? make it bold or something, my eyes hurt.

Thanks a lot for this! It's really helpful

is amnesty even trustable?

Are you referring to CAA? Then you mistaking my friend. CAA is targeted to prevent illeagle immigration. It also, eases citizenship for people of minority religion. Moreover that law is targeted only towards neighboring countries, specifically towards Pak., Ban., and Afgh.

And 'No' We do not expect red carpets anywhere on the world. Its totally a individual's choice to move abroad or stay. Due to huge population, the figures look high too.

Won't they sue you for hosting their books? Other then open source ones. Allowing user to upload their own epub/pdf would solve major issues. They could surf b-ok.cc and grab any book for free.

Excellent Work There! Its greatly helpful. I have shared this with my friends. You should consider allowing user to upload any epub/pdf.

I am personally being affected by distraction from every direction. I do not have the luxury of a silent room, or even setting aside quite hours in a day without external distraction. I help dad in his business, so I might be required to help at any moment of the day. Its not that i don't want to help, but i cannot stay focused and my productivity takes hit.

I don't know why i am saying this here. Any hint on how i can stay focused on problem/study at hand, like always.

I am shocked how this ended up in Hacker News.

I believe this is just human nature to view everything in binary, and discrimination looks like inbuilt into us, it's like remanence of our animal nature. I would just like to move on and focus on things that matter to the world, than complain. We are imperfect and stupid, with our own biases. There is no right way.

Look, Personally I have only seen first 4 videos. They were kinda good, but they were too slow! however I am thankful for those first few videos, they were quite helpful if providing a bird view of programming world. They might have been sillier at times. But that's just how it is, it's supposed to easy for others to jump in. This was way back when it was initially launched. Don't criticize content providers personally, you disagree with content however.

how about domain.google?

Very rude and unkind. It's not as if your paying for any of that material. It's super beginner friendly.
