Yeah I'd like to think that too, but the article mentions in its first paragraph that this aid was announced by the 'Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian.' So in this case it doesn't seem like they're diff

Wondering if any geopolitical experts on HN can take a stab at explaining this move? From my rudimentary understanding, China was (has been) allied with Russia behind the scenes in this move against Ukraine. Is this a hedge to maintain a go

I wrote a long response to this but I don't think it's worth debating these points further as we probably see and experience the world differently.

Just because a place doesn't resemble Canada or Ukraine or people who look and act like your version of civilized society doesn't give the US a right to wage war resulting in large numbers of civilians being displaced or killed. W

If others are looking to keep up with news in a low key way (including the OP), I'd highly recommend this approach that's been working well for me. 1. Create an instagram account to follow just one account. 2. Follow an acc

I've used Bitwarden for over 4 years now after first hearing about it on HN. I really can't complain. I have Bitwarden on my phone, on my browser (chrome + firefox) and it works flawlessly for me. I even have the Mac app but I alm

I mean such behaviour is not uncommon on chess.com either. I've reported multiple people for game abandonment / abusive language / acting like jerks / taking super long to make moves in a game that's obviously been

Maybe there's nothing wrong with this submission and maybe I'm a skeptic but definitely seems like a gamed submission. Submission by a new account, another new account posts that this is the best piece they've read about this

I think the biggest reason why the price is so high (beyond the brand, and the fact that the government policy results in everyone getting whatever loan amount they want) is because they're contractually required to share a huge chunk

While this behaviour by corporations (eg: Zillow buying and flipping, or Blackstone buying and renting out houses [0]) is inflating housing prices across the country, I don't see them stopping anytime soon even in the face of temporary

A&W restaurants are pretty prevalent in Canada, at least in Toronto anyways. Just looked at stats: they have about ~1000 restaurants in the country spread over 470+ cities. But a commenter below said they have around a 1000 restaurants

While I wouldn't say that their reserve is matching now ( I do not know) there were a few threads on twitter that I read a while back that stated that the folks behind tether were increasing the supply (of tether) to artificially infla

I think the article's trying to convey that instagram has a more curated look and so by algo-design/human-design doesn't reward videos/reels that are shot on poor resolution phones and those that don't directly foll

I'd highly recommend Darknet Diaries [0] to get a bit more colour on the NSO group for those that are interested. The relevant episodes are #99 & #100. It seems like a lot of the NSO group's customers (a lot of which are autho

I had never heard of the company before but really interesting how there was no due diligence by the financiers/VCs before they wired in the money. Is this generally the norm? Also surprising that a company that became a unicorn at its

I think what you're missing is that oil extraction doesn't happen in a vacuum. The externalities of extracting oil from the arctic circle would be massively detrimental to the local environment. Not to mention the fact that any ac
