Interesting - how does this work? Do you use some kind of search API to search news sites and validate whether the condition has been satisfied?

I'm sure there are many Indians on HN, but they probably reside somewhere in the US.

Exactly, I was surprised by the lack of outrage at this.

Really cool. A potential use I can see for this is to help people go from raw data to visuals really quickly. I'm guessing that's the intended use. I wonder how your extension will handle scenarios with unclean data, however. What

I think their investment in DARPA has a positive externality for society. If we account for this externality, perhaps taxpayers enjoy a positive ROI?

The idea of a lab leak could either mean that legitimate research was happening on this virus and it got accidentally leaked, or that the virus was being prepared as a bio-weapon and was intentionally or unintentionally released. The reason

The two actions people can take are: 1. Delete Facebook apps, Whatsapp and IG. This can have low to high utility loss for you, but has negligible effect on Facebook. It would have a bad effect for me, who has many family members and friends

The modern Indian state takes a lot of its iconography from the Mauryan empire, most prominently the Lion Capital of Sarnath (image is in the article). It's super interesting to hear about this technique which was instrumental in produ

You're right. Macs have excellent build quality and are durable as hell. Planned obsolescence with Apple is seen more with iPhones. There was the recent story about Apple slowing down older iPhones via software updates [1] [1]: [ https

I had the same impression, it's not like there are a limited number of rungs of wealth. Furthermore, I doubt that rich people believe that supporting higher taxes will have an immediate effect in ensuring 'usurpers' don'

I liked the picturisation of the different planets and of course, the time dilation effects. I think they're great for a general audience, who may not be exposed to the latest developments in astronomy.

I'm wondering about how this impacts criticising the school. If the school does X, can the school punish students for discussing this action and criticising it? Feels like this allows schools to crack down on criticism.

I see this as an attempt to implement a programming paradigm (i.e storytelling) that's radically different from existing paradigms. How are others interpreting this project? What's it's significance?

Is your concern about the vagueness of the proposed plans or the outrage at tax bills?

Really interesting. I was wondering if there is evidence for this found in eastern Indo European societies like India or Iran.

The problem is that there still linger rose-tinted visions of the British Raj in the minds of the British public and ruling class, which blinds many from the abject cruelty that was exacted on millions of Indians. You say the assumption tha

Yes, it's a weird use of notorious. The commenter could have said 'famously generous' instead.

There's a difference in perception. Twitter in India has a larger proportion of academics (who tend to be left leaning), intellectuals, and a larger portion of the English speaking urban professional population. There's more scope
