Recently I also discovered that YouTube shadow bans comments for using banned words (e.g. kill, coronavirus etc) or external links (two of my comments got banned). I have seen some people asking for sources on YouTube comments and it turns

I have a better idea, let's just ban English itself. After that we can ban any language that gets English level of popularity.

What is truly shocking is just how bizzare this US policy is. They just pick a country at random one day and go there to do a "FONO" and just generally rub in the fact that no country can afford to cut relation with them. They hav

Of course. But any country can also ban them (that is the only reason multinational companies obey national laws). We all saw that with Google vs Australia. So US might be able to get away with this, but I still have my doubts.

Alright, so America wants to tax every American view in YouTube. But what happens if another country decides to do the same thing? Creators will have to pay every country their views come from. I hope I am wrong, but we all know every count

Yeah, I also noticed that on the app version when it was released. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26315915 I don't know why they would ruin such a fast, successful app like this.

I can't speak for other countries, but at least in India it has been a huge success. At this point I think it is even bigger then PayTM. When it was first released it was very smooth compared to all the competition and the cashback was

I am not saying that you have to test every single piece of your code, but IMO sooner or later you will be forced to do so. Weather it is through the type checker (static or gradual), unit tests or manual tests is up to you. Unit tests just

Yes, in fact the only reason most people (not all) use it because there is no real alternative. Sometimes it is the only tool on the table (the environment).

I wish Wikipedia would offer incremental downloads (e.g. rsync). That would make it much easier to host your own Wikipedia.

This is spot on. I was originally using PayTM to pay my bills for phones and TV. And while it was a little bloated and sluggish there was nothing better. But then Google Pay was released, and it was so much faster then anything else on the

I am not on Twitter, but wasn't #HangMikePence trending a few days ago? Isn't it a bit hypocritical when one of the biggest social network is allowed to do the same thing?
