First thing, it will not happen overnight (if it ever happens at all). I mean, let's be honest, the US is still a massive market so there is no doubt that it still has a lot of tricks in its books to maintain a lead. But the thing is,

With a more stable currency, this means more investor confidence, and more confidence for other countries to trade using that currency. There are a lot to be said on this topic, but overall, countries use another's currency to facilita

That's pretty out of date information, a quick look on XE shows this is not the case at all: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=CNY&view=10Y

Well, because even though people on HN loves to preach "open dissent and criticism", HN hates actual dissent and criticism against the HN party line. So I am not surprised she/he got downvoted.

How does it strongly suggest the origin is in China? The disease was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, where many countries (especially European ones) are starting to find that their first cases were in December 2019 (if not earlier

Nice, thanks for this! I also found out that protonmail doesn't seem to send the password in plain text in the post request itself. Really keen to see how they do it as well.

Wow, it's quite disheartening to read some of the comments here. Let's try something shall we: - open up private browsing - press F12 (or however you get the developer console on a mac) and go to the networking tab - go to gmail.c

That is literally how you innovate! What a lot of people are unaware of is that Europeans had been copying and stealing Chinese secrets for over a millenia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smuggling_of_silkworm_eggs_int..

Having been to a few tech conferences held by the EU commission, I would say the issue is not (wholly) to it being too open. The biggest problem with the EU is that it is ultimately 27 sovereign states with different language and cultures a

Personally, I've not used OVH, so I cannot judge. But here is how I would rate Scaleway. Pros: - They are really really cheap! This is not just for the VMs themselves, but their VMs come with NVMe disks and comes with uncapped networki

What troubles me more is the idea that you think there needs or has to be some sort of hegemony in the first place. I personally know of scenarios that is already far worse in the world today because of this idea of someone having to uphold

Which part? The sanctions part or the hegemon part? Here is a list of US sanctions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions I love this part specifically: "Reasons cited for sanctions includes Venezu

Let's also not forget if this was in any other country, the US would be sanctioning them already, making a bad situation even worse! I am personally very glad to see this potentially being the end of the US hegemony.

Pretty much that. Here in the UK, we have a US diplomat's wife that killed a kid while driving in the UK. Having returned to the US, the US would not extradite her even though now there's an alert issued for this by the Interpol.

Doesn't the US have a huge problem with IP trolls? It's really hard to get an accurate figure when the US can just issue IPs like it's no one's business and can to go to court to dispute these equally as easily. At least

Didn't Palmer Luckey literally pay people to defame Hilary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign? I guess he knows all about how 50-cent army works, especially US ones. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/20

Wait, what are you talking about? RabbitMQ does have persistent messages, you just need to set the queue as "durable", and the messages persist even during failures.

As for the personal data aspect, why does that come as a surpise to you? Babylon Health's website is full of Google tracking, which to me raises a huge concern. Now I get you do it in regards to your home page, but when it comes to use

I find people saying things like "criticism of the Chinese government is not racism" is akin to things like "I am not racist because I have black friends". Anywho, I gave you an actual link of a pubmed article about the

In addition to getting the grants, they also like to see that you are cooperating with a company or entity from another member state. I mean I get the approach is trying to build a cohesion between member states, but as you say, it adds to

So apparently it's not a full quarantine like everyone suggests, but more of a partial quarantine. My understanding is that deliveries to the local government is not accepted, so they are sending this straight to the hospitals. I also
