Some day I will do a internet deep dive which generation of Americans shifted to premade mixed and stopped cooking things from scratch. Nothing wrong with that, just different especially in grandma generation.

In Indian epic of Mahabharata, there is story of Abhimanyu who learns how to defeat a military strategy in the womb, while his father was telling it to his mother. Which he later uses in epic war.

Re:Flashpoint Archive on Friday January 05, 2024 @11:05AM (#38880543)
You are missing couple of points : awareness of such tool, downloading of huge archives, and strong collection interest in people. I know people who.str happy to play Mario look-alike.js game instead of figuring out retroarch.

Last point : flash games peaked when rest of the world didn't have very fast interest. Only 0.1% had it or interested in it

Re:What a caste discrimination ban means for Americans on Thursday September 28, 2023 @12:26PM (#37691928)
There is nothing uniquely different about caste discrimination than Shia/Sunni divide among Muslims or Han Chinese/non. If you goto Africa, similar fault lines are there. It is social evil which is at verge of extinction in a generation or two, unless provided oxygen by these laws. There isn't a widespread precedence for a law which uniquely targets Indians and them asked to prove their non-caste behaviour. Current anti discrimination laws are good. Still these laws keep getting passed. This is witch hunting.

More questions: Will phone manufacturers will be able to sell Android phones in non US supported countries?

Ask HN: If a country gets on the bad side of US, what all tech it can lose?

With the recent Russia-Ukraine war got me thinking how many of these global companies are American first when appropriate time. The stakes were high this time but the boycott could be used as a tool in future for much lower stakes.Is there a protection against it in other countries? Will AWS, Teams, Google, PayPal, Twitter stop working? What other critical services run by American corp can be...

Wish these articles would start facing heat for only covering history of certain countries and culture.

Even if the stand is right, Kunal kamra has lost all credibility for me. I would rather support someone else making similar points than this joke of a person.
