I will send an email, as a humane customer, to their customer service email asking a clarification about their policy in this regard. I urge all people on HN also to bombard them with queries regarding such shitty practices they follow. A t

I am not a fan of FB but it must be understood that FB is not a news agency. Another thing to consider here is: FB may be wallgardened, but what about the mainstream news organizations that are sold out to various parties? (e.g. Saudi Islam

Your comparison is almost like comparing apples with oranges. India, although has achieved some good results, is mostly a third world country [1] (barring few metro places), and thus various project costs are mostly insignificant as compare

Internet archive is a great project. It has been allowed to be created, in the first place. Then it was and is allowed to exist. This is what I like to about the modern, freer, liberal western democratic nations. Then there are the great pe

I am not a big fan of greedy-unchecked-capitalism but communism is not the answer for problems of the world. A thought exercise: Here is an attempt to take on an argument made by the communist apologists about Cuba in favor of Castro: that
