While this is a neat idea, how does it negate all the data theft being done by the bots so far?

I recently saw a research paper behind a paywall but ChatGPT readily gave me a detailed summary of that article. I’m afraid the cat's out of the bag now.

There’s no data to prove this allegation. Are we resorting to hearsay and racist dog whistles at HN now?

Disenfranchising Indians must be the new racist trend here. Please try to have some empathy.

Brown person can be a descendant of the “Coolies” taken as Indentured servants to Fiji, Trinidad, Suriname, Malaysia, SA etc.

They could be people from French colonies like Algeria as well.

Brown doesn’t only mean an Indian from Calcutta, although they were heavily persecuted until recently (Check Bengal Famine)

The influx of new Berliners in Mitte, Neukölln, Schöneberg etc is not totally unexpected. A lot of new residents moved there in the past 4-5 years and they're much sought after.

What's interesting here is the influx of new Berliners in areas like Lichtenberg and Marzahn. These were traditionally perceived as DDR remnants and full of neo-nazis.

Also what's happening in Tegeler Forst kiez?

Does anyone know if how good is the integration with the underlying OS?

MS Office on desktop won't work on mobile devices without re-thinking the interface and UX.

I can't believe I'm defending Microsoft, as I was a hardcore Linux guy back in the days.

To answer your question, Microsoft is not only about mobile. Their work on Roslyn compiler, F#, Reactive Extensions, SignalR, ASP.Net vNext etc is high quality open source. Moreover if they make their tools open and play nice with Android/iOS etc, we all win, right?

I'm not sure what's the reason to be cynical here. I'm an iOS developer who uses an Android device personally and I'm loving this new Microsoft (Post Ballmer). This was exactly the wish of developers in 2002, that MS should become contributing OpenSource citizen.

The Roslyn project, F#, Docker integration, MS Band etc clearly show that MS has learned it's lessons and are responsible citizens of OSS world.

Kudos Microsoft.

It looks like a killer app to me. There is a similar service in India called SMSGupShup which is a big hit.

Nicely put. here are my 2 cents, if you choose Java 1. Don't try to do too much (JSF, Spring, JMS, Hibernate etc) its easy to get lost in the jungle there. Take small steps. 2. Try to contribute to some open source project like Lucene or Play! 3. Java jobs are aplenty in Pune region, so best luck!
