Correct, Now my comment seems dumb to me as well.

This is also racists. How many Indian engineers are there vs rest of the world? What kind of work is getting outsourced?

Let's take your words only.

Manual processes which are bug-prone and faulty are getting outsourced. They handle it with their best knowledge. Some processes/data knowledge is never transferred and some are kept hidden and assumed from outsourced teams but they have different culture and exposure so their understanding of things might be different. Its expectation mismatch not team issues.

American software giants are run by Indians only. So, if they are bug-prone & faulty then how could they reach there. It just that when person study with you or live with you then they have same set of culture & exposure like you have. So, they can manage things effectively.

I am against eMudhra to the core and their stupidity (or playing the dangerous game of compromising the security) but this is pure racism.

"Importantly, none of the affected intermediate CAs were deployed in production, with the exception of one. Furthermore, none of these intermediate CAs, including the one deployed in production, have issued any end-entity certificates. This has been confirmed through our internal analysis and corroborated by publicly available Certificate Transparency records on crt.sh."

This statement is more discerning than anything else. It raises question about why this certificates exists in first place if not deployed since 2025. Is it deliberate attempt to do compromising of system?

In recent times, Indian Government is becoming quite rogue and don't follow the said procedures. So, it might be related to that as well.

That might be the cause but let's see.

There 4 updates contains webhook mention in 2 of the updates.

"Webhooks is experiencing degraded performance"

Same here. I wanted to push something on Github and its was giving 500. This is most severe issue in recent times.

I thought about this general pattern in many places including historical Ages. I have general pipeline for this,

New Invention -> Aggregate -> integrate -> distribute -> baseline then back to New Invention

To Google,

Don't be Evil

> space on Earth.

I have different take on this. We already shown significant decline in Fertility rate of whole world. Its right now 2.2 against nearly 5 in 1950s till 1970. 2.1 is replacement only. So, we are sorted there from occupying Glaciers,Mountains, etc.

Moreover, Average age of many countries are increasing. That might need support in near future. Migration is filling up that gap in Western world.

As per current prediction world population will peak around 2080s and then decline.

Problem is that decline. Since, Governments are working on selling futures (e.g. Bonds). We need new frontier to make things exciting for new generations up ahead.

That's open question for humanity. I respect both sides of it but I am little more pro to residences in other planets as we are on tech breakthrough on limitation of Earth. Now, surviving means occupying other planets.

However, these are just my thoughts you can have different.

I am worry about number of satellites above our head by him.
My bad, You are technically right.
It's a race but who will bell the cat and be impartial? That should be the question.
There will be some chain reaction up there in near future, in our lifetime only.

Congratulation to the team.

These milestones are necessary to advancement of human race as we need new planets to occupy.

But, we needed clear path going forward. I am both pro to advancement but with caution kind of guy.

I didn't know about that but it feels like Django async support.

There is problem in both cases. - Without AI, they are just rot learning. - With AI, whoever will have advance AI will top the class.
Re:Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI on Thursday August 20, 2026 @05:10PM (#49380321)
Invented New coding language that transpile to other coding languages and saying it novel approach.
Why only TikTok videos. Other contenders are Instagram reels, Youtube Shorts, Snapchat, etc.

BTW its Social Media as per studies

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12329480/

Whole bunch of research,

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/search/?term=Social+Media

But, my point is its normal Every generation behave differently. We shouldn't judge it even via these studies.

They all are created by US companies only. FB, Instagram, Youtube, X, Google (Android & others), Apple, etc. Face Recognition, Drones, space exploration (engines for missiles), AI, LLMs, etc.

So, Either do it yourself (China) or get run by them (India).

That's why Claude access was blocked for OpenClaw. They were utilizing non-API use cases credits for what should be API use cases.
Re:GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @06:23AM (#49343624)
I shifted from DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 to Gemini 3.7 flash on openrouter and price shoots up almost double with no visible change in outcome. So, today I reverted back.
