Ok, I've edited the title above to include this detail. (Submitted title was "Tell HN: Razorpay a YC company shared donor data without court order".)

This is less moderation than we would normally do. Under normal circumstances, we would not allow a submitter to use a text post to put their own tendentious spin on a story like this—especially when the account seems politically driven (e.g. bringing up past partisan tweets to bolster a political case, which is not in the intended spirit of HN). Most probably we'd change the post to point to the most neutral third-party article we could find—or, if someone had already posted one, we might merge this thread into it.

However, the first principle of HN moderation is that we moderate less, not more, when YC or a YC startup is involved (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). So I'm suspending normal practice in favor of this relatively small intervention.

Edit: I suppose I should add that none of what I've written here has to do with the specific details of the story, which I haven't personally looked into. Commenters in this thread seem to be doing a reasonable job of discussing it, with the exception of some veerings into religious/political flamewar, which we've done the usual moderation with.

I suppose I should also add that we haven't downweighted the submission—its ranking is being determined by user voting and flagging. And we haven't pinned any comments, except the moderation replies in flamewar subthreads like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32000788 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32000252 (standard practice).
Little Snitch is great. Apple would never allow it on iOS which is ridiculous.
People still have a hard time getting ninth-gen consoles from Sony or Microsoft. Something as boutique-schmoutique as the Steam Deck is gonna get hit hard by supply chain issues.

You are going to get flagged to death. Rightfully so.
Nope - this is a real issue inside our domestic borders. The country has two official languages but only one region that legislates one of them as second class.

Additionally - Quebec's insistence on "protecting their distinct and unique culture" tramples all over the rights of other demographics important to the formation of the country. Ex: Montreal sits on unneeded Mohawk land and the insistence on French (very Quebecois French, see numerous stories of relocating citizens of France not passing the competency requirements) but you can't get served in any Iroquoian language and in much of the north many citizens speak dialects of Cree as a first language.

So you have Indigenous people who were trampled, those who signed treaties that were then broken and/or ignored, the Metis who at least got a slightly better deal having negotiated later and spent a lot of blood, and then the Quebecois who were (basically) on the loosing side of a war & abandoned by the mother country in favour of sugar plantations in the Caribbean.

And of course they get the best deal with untenable consequences and have to be entertained every time there's a complaint that can't possibly be backed up. Whether a referendum ever actually passes the province simply can't afford to separate so, uhh, yeah. Sweetheart deals (when compared to everyone else) because, simply put, racism.

So keep some of the context in mind when Canadians complain that the province will outlaw "bonjour-hi" but you can still be served in English at nearly every fast-food joint in Montreal but might very well not get admitted to a hospital because your French isn't proficient enough.

I use Little Snitch on macOS, but it is not available on iOS, so far as I know. Normal apps on iOS do not have enough visibility into the system for that.

Is this really the kind of thing we should be upset about? Heaven forbid other countries feed their populace without paying a license fee to Monsanto/Bayer. GMO agri corps shouldn't be doing that at home either!
I think you’re overstating the technical weight going into this decision. I think it’s almost all marketing.

Remember the 16gb iPhone? It really just existed to make the 32/64gb models look more reasonable and so Apple could say “From $lower_price_point”.
These actually look good, what a pleasant surprise.
I once worked with a system where all local functions calls had parameters serialized to XML, sent over, then deserialized by the calling functions.

The framework was meant to be network transparent, remote calls looked the same as local calls, everything was async, and since everything used service discovery you could easily refactor so that a locally provided service was spun off to a remote computer somewhere and none of the code that called it had to change.

So anyway 50% of the CPU was being used on XML serialization/deserialization...
It takes over a thousand hours of flight time to even qualify as an airline pilot. It's not a labor pool you can just expand and contract on a whim. It's a work force you have to strategically cultivate and maintain. When companies get too eager to "trim the fat" in lean times this is the result. You can't always scale back up as quickly as you'd like.
Definitely very interesting. I know Google has their “Advanced Protection Program”[0] with a Titan security key which is similar. It is interesting considering that Google’s protections target the user as the weak link, as your data lives on their hardware; while Apple is obviously targeting both the user and the hardware they have. I’m curiuos what security researchers will think of this, if it’s more theater or if it is actually a innovative attempt at giving advanced privacy to people who need it. Despite their past stumbles (e.g., CSAM), it seems like Apple is genuinely in the privacy fight, even if it is just for their bottom line.

How did the conversation about doing this start? Who made the case and sold it internally?
I also wonder how the software side of things changes in those settings, how do people design program / algorithms around fast and wide data path like these.
Generally, I would agree that most dentists want their patients to have healthy teeth. In my dentists they seem relatively thorough and consistent in what they observe with my teeth as far as health and function. And they are pretty specific with preventative measures that don't make them money (recommendations on possible problem areas to make sure to focus on for flossing brushing) and some that do (mouth guard to prevent grinding).

HOWEVER, all of the dentists that I have had push cosmetic procedures really hard. Teeth whitening, alignment (cosmetic only), caps (cosmetic only).
But the gradient is positive.
I quite frankly hate discord, the model of "servers" is one of communities and although its nice for gaming, not quite so technical discussions. Currently I'm in a bunch of servers, notifications everywhere, did anyone actually talk to me? no. do people talk to each other? barely. From what I can see, discord is made for communities, and communities tend to die. zulip on the other hand? That's exactly how a project based communications platform should be.
I disgree, at some point you have a functional ban even if you have not come right out and banned a thing

If you put enough roadblocks, hurtles, etc in front of something it becomes a functional ban

Case in point see the 2 most controversial subjects of today Abortion and Gun Rights, with each political side attempting functional bans with out actually "banning" the thing out right
Nobody knows where that return label is going to take it, just send it off to a charity or something.
I love the applications, but I'm dismayed at the stagnation in programming models used to get the best performance out of modern clusters. This sums up my feelings:

Plus there is no guarantee that Apple will ever allow Linux again.
Certainly, but Python is flexible enough that it readily works with other binaries. If a specific function is slowing down the whole project, an alternate implementation of that function in another language can smooth over that performance hurdle. The nice thing about Python is that it is quite happy interacting with C or go or Fortran libraries to do some of the heavy lifting.
Just because "GTA" is also an abbreviation for Greater Toronto Area.
I feel like a lot of unions are implicitly anti-customer. The employer has an incentive to better serve the customers in order to get more of their money but the union/employees main incentive is to get a bigger share of the take from their employer.
Yes, but the escape valve to it is accepting that you're not a moral person all, or even most of the time.
Have you? Or has the set of predetermined actions that have happened before you conditioned you to make the choice they have determined for you?

> Most of this complexity has no clear business purpose (bureaucracy)

Bureaucracy has a very clear purpose. In business, politics, or otherwise.

Bureaucracy makes change difficult and slow.

Bureaucracy should be applied when you have a working solution to your problems and you don't want anyone (new devs, new managers, external forces) to change it.

Bureaucracy is often prematurely applied, in an attempt to "bring order." This cannot work. Bureaucracy applied to chaos cements the chaos into place.
Corporations definitely have a lot of power today, but nothing more than they've had in the past.

Is there any evidence that the word has entered the Russian lexicon from English? The Russian "компромат" feels like a straightforward contraction of "компрометирующие материалы", following the same pattern as many other Soviet neologisms like "нарком" or "комбед".
The answer never loads if using Brave with Shields up, even after allowing JS.
I know this is off topic but I'm always confused by the attitude you've mentioned where companies don't actively work to retain staff.

I wonder if there are any courses for managers to train them to think logically about this and not switch into bad decisions based on emotion.

Companies waste so much money on hiring and then deciding to react very slowly to changes in market conditions.
If businesses treated their staff like they treat their clients...
Certainly the simulation and the action in the real life has some connection. It just a matter how strong the connection is. I guess no one will test it though, at least that is what I hope.
I think this is both insulting and not even responding to the right comment.

I hope Apple expands this quickly through minor updates to the OS rather than waiting for a next major release. This needs faster iteration than anything else.

Quoting what’s in the first release:

> At launch, Lockdown Mode includes the following protections:

> Messages: Most message attachment types other than images are blocked. Some features, like link previews, are disabled.

> Web browsing: Certain complex web technologies, like just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compilation, are disabled unless the user excludes a trusted site from Lockdown Mode.

> Apple services: Incoming invitations and service requests, including FaceTime calls, are blocked if the user has not previously sent the initiator a call or request.

> Wired connections with a computer or accessory are blocked when iPhone is locked.

> Configuration profiles cannot be installed, and the device cannot enroll into mobile device management (MDM), while Lockdown Mode is turned on.

I’m not a target (I think, and hopefully don’t get to be one), but nevertheless I’d feel safer with this turned on (I very rarely use FaceTime, so not accepting it is not a big deal).

I’d also love more protections. Not allowing specific apps to connect to any network (WiFi included), Apple handling issue reports on apps with urgency (right now they seem to be ignored even when policy violations which are against the user’s interests are reported), etc.
Apple Is Releasing an iOS Lockdown Mode Feature to Combat Spyware

Her main results were proved in 2016. After which she received numerous other prizes. Everyone was expecting her to receive Fields prize too, long before this stage of war.
Credibility of evidence is not totally subjective. I (and you, and anyone) can personally prove in a variety of ways that the earth is not flat, but still many people believe there is a conspiracy that the earth is round.

Of course they all tell each other that all facts are subjective anyway and wouldn’t it be cool and interesting if you were in on a big secret and everyone else except you and your new friends were sheep.. oh and by the way did you know that it’s actually lizard people who started the idea that the earth was round? Doesn’t that feel right and would explain why your life hasn’t turned out the way you wanted? And so on.

In this case I’m explicitly talking about making up non-credible evidence. If everything is subjective then whatever I made up is as good as anything else, I just need to tune it to your biases to make it feel as truthy as possible. But if you believe me then you’ll start to have problems when you need things to actually be true (like running a space program or military for example).
Maybe it prevents Alzheimer’s?
I replied to a recruiting email with: "I would literally rather shoot myself in the fucking head twice than work for Amazon."

That was last year, and I continue to receive their recruiting emails every week or two.
I'd also add that the purpose of a lot of these "consultation" meetings is not consultation at all - they exist to announce a decision that was already taken before the meeting, or to give exposure (and thus clout) to the people who convened the meeting. Seems like the latter is probably the case here.

I remember that Simpsons episode when Homer creates a website, which contained nothing controversial, and full of bells and whistles, yet thin on content. Then he wrote an article about something controversial, and his visitor numbers went through the roof.

This is content marketing 101. Discover something new, tell people about it, profit. The backlinks will happen naturally and organically. You may even have your article featured in some high profile website that gets 10,000x more traffic than your site, boosting your SEO in the process.
That sucks. In my team that's not how it works.

There's tickets I know we'll never get to, but things we do actually have time for get real attention, with enough focus and resources to do whatever solution is actually correct. There's often tradeoffs for time, but they're ones we have real input in.

Violation of this rule ruined an otherwise amazing PC game for me, which shall remain nameless to avoid spoilers.

It was borderline silly to have the detective you played for 90% of the game narrating his thoughts on what clues meant, and on who the culprit might be, only to then turn out to be the murderer ...

I think you're letting the reality distortion field get to your head. They're creating a safe mode for iPhones because a lot of features complex/intricate enough that they are perennial sources of vulnerabilities (and/or UX flaws that lead users to make unsafe decisions).

That is, they're turning features off for security. Something every IT department has been doing for decades. Windows supports this. Mac OS supports this. In fact, iOS was kind of notable in being so unconfigurable. The settings available in their MDM implementation were pitiful and didn't let admins disable many of these features.
When reading through this list at each feature I can't help but go "why isn't this in regular iOS?"
Not to neglect Al-Haytham, inventor of science itself, as presented in his book, Optics.
If no one acts on that information then sure, sounds like a plan. But I suspect many people would buy things they don't even really want and "return" them hoping to get free shit once word gets out, making the problem even worse.

Opening a legit job offer PDF on your work computer could be considered a fireable offense. You should not be using company resources to find your next job.
The not attend meetings trick boils down to: if other people don’t like me, they won’t bother me.

Not the best strategy in my opinion. There are far better ways to slip out, but they require more careful maneuvering.

My typical strategy is asking the right questions to the right people. I try appear helpful, while indirectly pushing to make the meeting more relevant or my presence less necessary.

I’ve often made the offer to be available when they need my input. Helps smooth things so people see me as busy, rather than deliberately avoiding them.
Meditation as its known today is a western phenomenan.

It is a secularized form of an eastern religious ritual, the ultimate goal of which is ego death.

Mindfulness is a trendy feel-good fuzzy yoga mom term that's often used to sell something.

For many who adopt routine secularized meditation, it becomes a great exercise in Missing The Point, the point being ego death. It's a very strange thing to kill the ego but then immediately return to an egocentric life, with all the hustle and bustle and manufactured stresses. After all, this ritual typicaly accompanies a fairly ascetic lifestyle.

Meditation, for me, a Roman Christian, is more akin to contemplation in the Greek stoic sense. It's good to set aside some time each day to just sit and think, to reflect on things.
To be fair, banks have been more powerful than a lot of nation-states for awhile, and religious entities before that.

The goal with faster cpython is for small compounding improvements with each point release[0]. So in the end it should be much more than a tiny improvement.

Congrats on the launch! I love this idea. I've thought for a long time that something like it should exist. Google results are often lacking in this realm.

I've played around just a bit and clicked some of the preset examples and like what I'm seeing so far. I bookmarked it and will try it out more as I code over the next few days.

Main initial feedback: I'd really like to see version/last-updated-at info accompanying all results. One of the biggest problems with Google for code stuff is finding outdated examples and docs. Even better would be a dropdown that lets me see results depending on the version of the language/framework/tools I'm using.
Yeah, unfortunately this comes with the territory, especially with this Garmin inReach data. We are running in "expedition mode" which gives us updates about every five minutes but still, you will occasionally get badly spurious points. This is in contrast to the GPS track data you see in the activity viewer. That is collected from their watches which tend to not be quite as bad (although they have their issues too).

They are now on a narrow, somewhat technical ridgeline, so a few things will accumulate into some annoying errors:

- the quality of the digital elevation model (DEM) isn't great in the Sierra Nevada (new data is slated to be captured this year, though!)
- the overheard imagery is okay (0.6m), but not amazing
- they will likely be hopping from side to side on the ridge, blocking sky view and making GPS quality decrease and frequency of updates decrease

All of this combines into what you see now: jumpiness, not registering with the ridgeline, and the summit points (where they are manually indicating they are on top) not lining up with the labeled points.
Probably. I’m not a heavy Python user.

A better question would be to ask where Python is slow today and if it matters to big business, then.

It rules in AI, for instance. Is it still mainly glue code for GPU execution and performance isn’t at all critical there?
I experience this in my non tech, corporate job. Its mostly non pertinent information to my actual job which is why I think I generally tune out, but of course all the suits think it’s just the most important info so they hold meetings. And all your peers that do know what’s going on when they don’t actually need to, are suck ups who probably are not good at their job and want to get into management. I wouldn’t worry about it unless you have dreams of becoming a suit, but that is just my 2 cents.
