News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Probably not. Though, for a decade after that the Federal government was controlled by a key opposition party. Essentially they(people who accused him) had all the time to investigate him.
Impartiality factors less when the entire Federal government apparatus is used to investigate some one for more than a decade. Also, by that reasoning should we start believing in the principle "guilty before proven otherwise"?

> It does help the discussion here, the comment correctly points out how this literal 1984-esque action plays into the current regime's totalitarian tendencies which go way before the 2002 pogrom and of course their parent org, RSS which is a whole other can of worms.

Who decided that those riots were a progrom? That term itself is misleading.

I am not fan of this step but the problems it's designed to tackle are huge in India and it's very much an option unless there are solid alternatives.

It doesn't. But judicial scrutiny under a government clearly opposed to him does clear the mislabelling. And how does it even help the discussion here?
What do you mean by "Brahminical Hindus"?
Probably the same amount ISI spends on anti-Modi propaganda peddlers.
> problem that is better solved by improved education and targeted campaigns against common security pitfalls

Will take decades if not more than a century to implement in India. Let alone old people, even the boomer generation is immensely tech illiterate.

Don't see a list there. Will they also ban apps like Stremio and Kodi?

I am with you on principle. But how to get animal protein without harming animals? Can't do milk & related products because of lactose intolerance and other vegetarian sources are not that protein dense.
Isn't Austin going through a price drop at least for rent? That could offer a case study.
You can get Apple Legal involved if your face is on the app and they should get the related posts removed.
Not invalidating your concerns but don't see a strong reason to not do it considering that every other nation is going to leverage this tech.

Just curious. Any YC companies that have engaged in these tactics?

Re:O(n) vs. O(n^2) Startups on Sunday May 18, 2025 @02:56PM (#44023544)
I wonder what's optimal for me as an employee. I am working in a O(n) startup where colleagues are nice, work is streamlined yet challenging, and I do see growth potential in the long term. Several O(n^2) founders have reached out recently and the pay is attractive(even after accounting for a move to an HCOL area).

Why exactly twenty percent?

What was her motivation? Financial problems or just greed?
Re:Learning C# and .NET after two decades of programming on Saturday March 01, 2025 @09:58PM (#43226738)
Does C# still require you to write everything with classes? Would love to try it if there's option to write functional code in it.
Another example how human civilization, in its present form, is generally incompatible with Earth's flora and fauna. Obviously, going back to stone-age is not a solution for us. But we certainly need to update/devise methods that do not harm anyone living creatures (or at least the sentient ones). Poor monkey had no idea what he got into and suffered a brutal death.
Can't say for certain if they will be around 4-5 years down the line.

This is weird. Is the crime so bad in the town? Even the good-for-nothing cops in my (developing) country do not come up with such nonsense.

Unlike several other authoritarian regimes, this is very much constitutional in China. Every institution pretty much reports to the CCP.

Congratulations! Were you default alive prior to the acquisition?
Makes sense. A three letter US agency can very well identify the people making these calls when they can spy on Indian diplomats. I hope a request through Interpol is made.

Nope. India is pretty huge. There's no way they can "wipe India off" even when India doesn't retaliate.

Those rules should be enabled by default.
