The USSR pushed hard for science which could improve the nation's global standing, like space missions. The USSR was no less anti intellectual in other fields like biology: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkois

Almost any country which tries full on communism sadly ends up in a similar scenario. See USSR, Mao's China. In Mao's China, it was well apparent that the communal farms weren't working and even the people's daily wrote

Unlike Huawei, TikTok doesn't have critical production dependency on the US (specialized semiconductors). Huawei also won't have been too impacted if just their imports were blocked in the US. TikTok will be hurt without US custom

I don't think a manager should be coding at all, but Unless they did enginnering work in the past, it is hard to see them providing effective management.

Yes, and there the software managers normally report to non software executives. Engineers reporting to non software managers who are not at a director or VP level is a bad idea.

Ancient China has a very fascinating history. I think the world would be very different if the voyages started under the Prince of Yan would have been allowed to continue. China would have discovered the new world before Europe, and histor

This sounds like a bad idea. It creates more ambiguities in the language, and will require people to remember a lot more. It works in ruby because in ruby you can't assign a function to a variable like A = len But you can in python. It

Your arguments lack context. India isn't ruling out Muslims from citizenship. While the CAA is a very bad step forward, and has several problems, it is about what criteria satisfying refugees are available for quick citizenship, and do

You aren't helping your case by citing the Supermicro article, which was denied by both Amazon and Apple, led to widespread criticism of Bloomberg, and no source came forward.

The comparison with India is wrong, or you don't understand the scale of what is happening in China. For starters, India is not re-educating anyone.

What can any packet inspection do over https, since that's where the majority of the important traffic is,not to mention that a lot of apps use certificate pinning, so even MITM can't help analyse the packets. And all this is befo

I think the irony is that someone on HN will jump on this thread saying copyright needs to be abolished, and you didn't lose anything as the user wouldn't have paid for it anyways, with the irony being that a large majority of HN

That will not work that well. Average Indian right now doesn't really have that much disposable income for such services to be very profitable. It will have to be the very long run. I doubt either google or Facebook earn a lot from Ind

It has been about 3 years atleast since Jio has paid plans, and things are still way way cheaper. Even if the prices double, they will be way cheaper than what they were.

Ok so it will sacrifice some throughout when a new node is added, as reads and writes need to jump a bit.

Ironically, the prices are far lower than they were in those insanely competitive days.

How do bookkeeper nodes handle addition then. AFAIK, if you add new storage nodes, whether bookkeeper or Kafka, there has to be some repartitioning, or else how will the new node be useful at all?

I think you misunderstood the parent poster's point. They are talking about India the nation, while you are talking of India the concept. India the concept existed. But India the concept is similar to America the concept or Europe or A

It can't grab the Chinese shares without angering China, and anyone in the whole wide world would rather anger any billionaire than China. > Under what pretence would they grab Ambani's property? If there is no existing law, go

by enitihas 6y ago
I think you are trying to argue both sides here. If the government is not afraid of doing shady stuff, like the Chinese government, then it is free to do anything to any billionaire, and being rich doesn't get anyone any power, like Ch

Much more easier to control than China. Ambani doesn't have an "Ambani liberation army" backing him up. Think of it this way, why did China spin off Ant Financial out of Alibaba? Had it been in hands of foreign investors, it

Yeah, the Chinese government is far more involved with it's companies than India with any of it's non nationalized companies. China got Jack Ma to spinoff Alipay from Alibaba, screwing the other shareholders badly. I don't th

How does a website control autofill if the password manager extension does it? Some stupid websites do block paste, but one can use an extension to force enable paste everywhere, which IMHO is required for one's sanity.

Social media industry is very fickle, as the rise of TikTok shows, not to mention far easier to replicate by any country which desires so.

Just curious, what were you doing where you needed the performance of iptables over haproxy?

Myspace never had this much cash in the bank. And Facebook has shown they are willing to copy anything that works (Stories)

It is fun if you are seeking status or power, and thus it ends up attracting similarly inclined people.

This will be revolutionary if it is deployable at scale. One thing I have learnt over the years is to avoid apartments which have any windows towards the road.
