The headline I believe was chosen by OP. What leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that the team thought it unnecessary to credit QuickJS and Bellard anywhere in the README file - and making it seem like original work.

Most of them wouldn't have had formal education, which will make their negotiation skills weak. So there could be a prevailing rate based on poor pricing and general agreement of those rates (both on the supply and demand side). Additi

Samsung Evo+ cards with the same speed rating (say U1) and model number can vary in performance quite a bit. I have tried three of them on my rpi4, and found one which was considerably faster than the others. To be sure I verified it with c

I think I had nearly 5k keywords. I know it's a lot, but the form/page specifically mentions that I can go up to 5000 keywords.

Feedback on beast mode: it's super slow with bulk keywords (100s). It makes a separate request per keyword, and gets stuck in a minute. You should be doing the splitting server-side.

Very nice. Quick feedback on UI (on an Android phone): the hamburger menu didn't work, the text has some alignment issues, the padding for the I'm interested button is gone. Best of luck.

That's not monopolistic abuse; what you described is just investment in a new sector with profits from an existing one. Companies, investors and funds do it all the time. Abuse would be when a company leverages a monopoly to enter or i

Another possibility is that a forced sale could uncover links to Chinese government surveillance in technical assets, and that's a risk they don't want to take.

But that does not correctly describe how the relationship with the Soviets were handled - that's not how I remember it. There was always cognisance of conflict, and there would have been absolutely no chance of a tilted economic relati

Thanks, I'll engage on the forum directly. But I won't get time to look at it until this Saturday.

What I wish India would do is this: force Chinese phone companies to ship stock Android and full source code. They sell hundreds of millions of phones in India and will have to find middle ground, and the outcome will be good for everyone.

Sure. But there are good examples of decentralization making spam difficult or impossible. One such is Secure ScuttleButt (SSB). You sync with friends and their friends (and their friends maybe, based on configuration). Now people aren&#x2

Interesting. Perhaps this will only work if directly supported/promoted by YC. I think there's definitely value in this; could potentially save a lot of time for the makers.

Idea: A Google Keep clone that keeps data in a git repo. You can share todos, notes, pics etc by allowing friends to sync your repos (and by syncing from them). Data is kept in files as yaml; hence hand editable. This is doable in the brow
