Tell HN: Razorpay a YC company shared donor data under a Section 91 order
Razorpay is an Indian payment platform[1].

Recently Indian police arrested[2] the co-founder of a fact-checking website for a tweet he did in 2018. There are reports that Government is trying to nab him for reporting the fake news and religious hatred the current regime has been peddling.

Police demanded the data of the donors to the fact-checking website from Razorpay and they complied without a court order[3].

I do like that the Fields Medal goes to people nearer to the start of their careers than the end like the Nobel awards.

I would be curious about, say, the next five people that didn’t make the cut. Is it common that they still go on to get a Fields Medal?

Also I wonder if there was ever a joint result that led to both authors being awarded a Fields Medal. I can’t find one but strong collaborations are not uncommon, so…
The opposite can also be seen as quite disturbing. Deciding to not save the lives of (net) 4 people, because you don't want to break a law

Yeah, trolley problems are a philosophical tool to help work out the ethical edge cases for situations like the example you gave.

Though they can be a distraction by reducing to the wrong bad choices. When trolley problems became mainstream because of looming spectre of self-driving cars, the example of "should the car drive off the bridge and kill the driver rather than hitting a child on the bridge" was making the rounds. I was always on the side of "I don't care if, in this absurdly rare case, the car decides to run over the kid AND then drive off the bridge because human car drivers kill more the 30000 people a year in North America alone".

And, as aside, ahhhhh, remember those days of our biggest problem being that self-driving cars were about to own the streets and put thousands of truck drivers out of work.
Exactly! I chose k8s managed by Google years ago. As a solo developer you can have a cluster up and running with a web server, fronted by a Google LB with Google managed certificates in under an hour. Just follow one of the hundred tutorials. Just as quick and easy as setting up a single VM. But that really isn't the point is it. If that is all I needed, yes I'd use a $10 VPS. But for an "application", not a web site, you always need more.

My k8s "cluster" is a single node that doesn't cost me any more than a VM would. I don't need the scalability at the moment. But I do need different environments for dev, qa, and prod. And all three are running identically next to each other using Namespaces. Saved us a ton of maintenance and cost.

Any project that grows has its needs change. GKE gives you a ton of integrated tools right from the start including logging, alerting, metrics, easy access to hosted databases, pub/sub, object storage, easy and automatic network setup, easy firewall setup, dns management, and a lot more. k8s is no different than using any other hosted service. It provides a great set of features that you configure using fairly consistent yaml configuration files. And it is all accessible from the web based "Google Console" as well.

Learning the k8s yaml format and some basic kubectl commands is all you need to get going and it saves a TON of time that can go back into developing your application rather than dealing with configuring disparate pieces with their own configuration methods.

I was fairly early to k8s while they were still competing with other similar solutions and other tools like Puppet and Chef. I tested all of them and truthfully, k8s was the easiest to learn, implement, and maintain my app with. Using GKE of course. I would NEVER as a one man or even small team of developers take on managing an installation of k8s myself.
I always wondered what latency requirements they must have in a distribution center that has to route packages dynamically and make those routing decisions within milliseconds. Surely there must be a lot of logic at the distribution center, they probably are their own data centers. Or can you really have 10+ms latency for each decision?
You’re grafting an Americanism onto Canadian politics and it doesn’t fit. White folks in Georgia may discriminate against Black folks in Georgia even though the two groups share a culture and language. That’s racism.

A distinct cultural group seeking to avoid cultural or linguistic change created by an influx of outsiders isn’t “racism.” It’s a human right for distinct ethnocultural groups to seek political autonomy on that basis: https://unpo.org/article/4957. Quebec is by its very nature a province for French speaking descendants of French immigrants to Canada. Québécois are perfectly entitled to say it should stay that way. It’s alien to modern Anglo notions of multiculturalism, but that doesn’t make it “racism.”
Is there such thing as weak evidence?
> Yarn v2 is backwards compatible though. You just need to use the node_modules "linker" (not the default one) and it's ready to go.

Last I checked, not quite. Yarn 2+ patches some dependencies to support PnP, even if you don’t use PnP. I discovered this while trying out both Yarn 2 and a pre-release version of TypeScript which failed to install—because the patch for it wasn’t available for that pre-release. I would have thought using node_modules would bypass that patching logic, but no such luck.

I don't think GP is claiming that SQLite is the "be-all, end-all" for all cases.

But it definitely is for when a website doesn't need to scale, which are the vast majority of cases. Disks (or rather SSDs + memory backed cache) are extremely fast. For cases when it doesn't work anymore, there's an easy migration path to whatever relational DB that I mentioned.

The argument isn't that SQLite is the "be-all, end-all", it's more that MongoDB, Kafka and other tools are the opposite of it: they don't hit a sweet spot for small sites (and also often doesn't for growing ones, or or big ones too), so there's no much point in starting there, as you'll only get problems and might hamper the website growth.

> However I did not take into account the CO2 emissions and possible industrial accidents at the trolly factory or trolly materials mines.

I would argue that it shouldn't factor into the equation. The polluting trolley will be replaced sooner or later, anyway. You're just moving the date forward.

The catch is that the argument could be made every year, with a new, more efficient trolley replacing the previous. In which case the construction costs obviously need to be considered, and it wouldn't be worth to spend 100 CO2 to save 10.
This one is a metaphor for life on earth, endlessly going in circles with no way to get off or go somewhere else.

When I was looking into the streaming side of things I set up an overlay image which could be toggled with a hotkey to hide my screen (it actually also hid my desktop scene too in case the image didn't load or whatever)

My main precaution though was separating dev/prod and never looking at prod stuff online. Worst case someone could spin up some guff in my dev/test account until I can cycle the credentials

In my case the separation also included a different system user on my computer for stream work. Possibly overkill but why risk it when the costs are so low?

I can't see myself trusting a key blurring app if I'm honest. Rather fix the issue earlier in the process than rely on something that would probably break on edge cases (word wrap enabled? Here's the key but it's in two parts, that sort of thing)
Maybe the phrasing changed, for me it says:

I worked with localizations and the main issue were that the translators didn’t code, so we had to keep the localizations separate from the code as the translators had no idea how to deal with it.
Another issue we had was that not all languages reads left-to-right but sometimes right-to-left or up-down. And sometimes formatting in one language makes sense but in some other the formatting didn’t make sense.
Languages don’t follow a main pattern, which sometimes makes it hard to automate.
We tried google translate but it kept translating things into garbage so we couldn’t use that.

Not disagreeing with your other points but Facebook didn't sell anything to Cambridge Analytica and in fact wasn't even really complicit. All they did was provide them with a way to request access to people's accounts as a standard OAuth2 flow. Idiots agreed to the access requests and as a result gave not only their own information but the information entrusted to them by friends.

The proper response to CA would've been to send everyone affected a notification saying "Your friend <name> shared your data with a third-party that is now known to be malicious. <Unfriend> <Learn More>".

The real issue with CA is that people are dumb enough to trust anything they see on the internet without a second thought. Why does a stupid "personality test" require access to my Facebook account? It doesn't and they should've declined the access prompt right there and flagged the post as malicious.
Both of them seem to have about equally many proponents as contrarians, so in each case it's half due to the community's ignorance and arrogance, half to its wisdom and humility.

This is a case where the general problem is easier to reason about than a specific problem.

Forget about prime numbers for a moment: it is impossible to achieve lossless compression that always succeeds in compressing N bits into fewer than N bits. This is because 2^M is smaller than 2^N when M<N. You can't map X objects into fewer than X objects without losing information.

So the issue is not that prime factorisation fails to reliably compress things. It's that every possible method you can try would fail to do so, no matter how advanced or fancy it is. Sometimes you'll manage to make the data smaller, sometimes you won't.

Relatedly, there's an interesting proof that there exist infinite prime numbers that uses the idea of data compression in it:

Where Stuff Comes From
To be clear I'm upset about these policies because they stamped out the ideals of Montreal and have strangled the city, turning it from a truly global capital to a provincial backwater that's now more renowned as a great place for Americans to get in some underage drinking.

My National ideals, and those of the majority from Montreal, are multilingualism and multiculturalism. Runs against the ideals of the ROQ (Rest Of Quebec) and it's disheartening to see my city suffocate under rules written up by people and for people who are not actually from the city
> from the perspective of the solving the problem you have

Completely. A small planning goes a long way, and helps define what problem is being solved. This is a particular peeve I have with lauding of pivoting. The plan didn't work out and you're now doing something else? That's great. At least something was gained and you're looking forward. But don't design for it. In other industries this goes by the perhaps less jargony terms salvage or wasteful production. But putting salvageable and waste in the description of a product solution doesn't sound as nice, and nor should it.
Most people? Sure I agree. But you can't really deny the degrading statements online, I've seen very harsh words against them and surveys against discrimination in Québec are showing a growing feeling of discrimination.

Smalltalk Squeak 6.0
I think trolley problems are mostly linguistic. Take this wording: "Oh no! A trolley is careening into a crowd! Should I try to turn it so it goes through the sparsest part of the crowd?" I think most people — by a wide margin — would say yes, because it's worded as still hitting the same thing, just hitting it in a way that does less damage, and we feel differently about that than hitting a different thing, "this guy" instead of "those guys".
On AMD, yes (sadly).

I just don't understand how people can believe in climate change and also believe that "ROI for me and my shareholders" is still a good way to make decisions. Buffett certainly isn't going to be an activist investor, because pushing oil companies to change will provide worse ROI than just staying the course. We need to be doing more to combat climate change, including a carbon tax. If that happens, oil companies will be much less profitable, so it seems like Buffett is betting that won't happen, which seems like a very cynical and coldhearted move.

Also, let's not forget that us humans have to live in the environment, so "a terrible cost for the environment" is a terrible cost for humans. Unfortunately, that cost is externalized so it doesn't affect Buffetts precious ROI.

Not just the tree, but the fruit itself.

Almond fruits are essentially peaches. If you crack open a peach or nectarine seed, you'll see an almond-like kernel inside.

Almond trees have been bred to improve the kernel at the expense of the rest of the fruit, but that rest of the fruit is a substantial portion of biomass which requires water.
>>If Tesla is losing court cases — which they are — then that’s because the judge and jury believe based on the evidence presented and argued that Tesla, as a company, was at fault.

Or the law itself is impossible to comply with:

https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/wokeness-as-saddam-sta...

>>Even after the case has been litigated, we still do not know what exactly Tesla could have done to avoid the $137 million judgment (it may be reduced on appeal). Employees did in fact get in trouble for using the n-word and drawing racist cartoons. In retrospect, they probably would’ve been safer if they just fired everyone who Diaz or Di-az accused of racism, at least the non-blacks, but there’s no guarantee that would’ve worked either, as they were in an industry that required them to rely on workers who hadn’t yet internalized elite ways of thinking about race. If they had fired black people for using the n-word too, would that have helped or hurt them in trying to avoid a lawsuit? It’s difficult to say, and that’s sort of the point.

>>For next time, there’s little Tesla can do but go all in on diversity training, be as enthusiastic as possible in adopting whatever next race fad comes out of academia, and hope that the next jury isn’t as woke as the one they got this time. Until anti-discrimination laws are rolled back, or come to be based on clear and objective standards, there is no other way.
You must be British to think that licenses for knife buying are normal.
That is quite a spectacular claim. I would assume you have equally solid evidence to suggest that people routinely make up lawsuits like this?

Just because a case is not proven, does not mean a lawsuit is made up. Most legal systems have innocent until proven guilty and a high standard of proof. Many things which happen cannot always be proven with sufficient amount of evidence even if they happened. A classic case is rape, where it is often hard to produce evidence.

That an individual engage in a lawsuite that is made up can make sense. But when you got multiple people with the same kinds of complaints I think the probability of it being made up drops considerably.
Thanks for your response.

I do agree with most of what you said. I understand that the big players could tomorrow integrate all(or some) of the functionalities I detailed in the post.

That's a risk for sure. Also I understand that most real estate portals are free to the user(but paid for via ads and fueled by vacuuming personal data).

The reason I think this could work is because people are catching on to the real price of things.

Plausible is a paid alternative to GA, Kagi is paid alternative to Google.
I think it is possible that a paid Home Buying CRM could work for a low enough price as long as it delivers enough value.

In German 25 is five and twenty. 67 is seven and sixty. Annoying but bearable.

However, in French, 60 is sixty. 70 is sixty ten. 80 is four twenty. 90 is four twenty ten. 99 is four twenty nineteen.
