Apparently India put in few to escape Tariffs

Why does a single commodity product company have a stock when that says said commodity is not even the top spot in the category?

India has roughly twice the population of Europe and is just as diverse. Treating India as a single, homogeneous entity because it's one country overlooks its vast cultural, linguistic, and demographic diversity—comparable to that of Europe. If diversity justifies country caps, it doesn't apply to India. Clinging to such policies seems outdated.

If India were divided into smaller countries like Europe, the same South Asian population, culture, and diversity would persist, but the artificial constraints tied to the name "India" would disappear.

Your response doesn't seem to address the Privacy concerns raised. Why is the policy so broad and invasive? There's no mention of how you handle PII data collected as telemetry.

On a similar note, I've a request for the HN community. Can anyone recommend a low-latency NER model/service.

I'm building an assistant that gives information on local medical providers that match your criteria. I'm struggling with query expansion and entity recognition. For any incoming query, I would want to NER for medical terms (which are limited in scope and pre-determined), and subsequently where I would do Query rewriting and expansion.

I learned much about why Quibi failed from comments rather than that article. That article is poorly written and seems more confused than the Quibi founder.

Diwali is an Hindu festival where Indians burn firecrackers in millions. Should stop the festival and firecracker.

A poor country like India can't extract justice from a rich one. We're the so-called third world, so don't deserve to ask questions.

For a long-term perspective, all world should converge on one medium of exchange and everyone must learn that. I'm not suggesting an English hegemony here. We need to avoid balkanization.

Arabic language has subsumed many local languages to be dominant in that part of world. A Bedouin feels a cultural bias towards Arabia if he starts coding in this language.

I'm from India and non-Hindi speaker; if coding is done in Hindi it's cultural bias towards Northern India as opposed to where I'm from.

He was referring to RDS list price.

This assumes there can be many prefix matches for any given url hash.

How many times (probability) do you think a 32-bit hash prefix matches more than one 256-bit hash? Very very unlikely; it's one-to-one practically speaking.

Holy moly. I thought it was a thing with my phone and not a wider problem...

I have made similar set of argument, but against a religion. That an archaic religious dogma is winning over 21st century progressive principles. I got shut and banned for displaying something-phobia.
