Consider that perhaps the person you're responding to really does treat Russian and the US equally... by continuing to import goods from both, and use technology or services from b…

The non-Russian portion of the company doesn't include the search engine technology.

I don't really see any difference between this and the vast amounts of of Alaska pollock or cod that is imported from Russia.

I felt that this was an indication that OpenCV had finally discovered SemVer.

Cmon, even famous virtuosos still have to go through a period of being children without fine motor control. I won’t argue about the obviousness as that’s a tarpit of comparing each…

I don’t see what’s wrong with someone wanting to return to their home country instead of staying and risking a middle of the night policy change resulting in their residency status…

On the other hand, you can’t develop a technology if you have no knowledge of its inner workings. This is an issue the US finds itself in now as it tries to onshore manufacturing a…

Even accounting inflation and the youth wage, that wage sounds too low for the Netherlands. It should’ve been at least 450 euro equivalent even in 1990, using 2024 value euros. Sou…

The were making 8.5 per hour which above the 2026 youth wage. They also are relating a story from their past and since they have had an account since 2015, I am assuming their yout…

They have but it does feel like they are developing a closed platform aka Apple. Apple has shortcuts, but they haven’t propped it up like a standard that other people can use. To c…

Corporate punishments can be applied on a fine grain. Every store, every instance, every choice becoming a 10k fine can rapidly make even relatively rare acts untenable as a cost o…

I think it is. The irony is that the people you hired to help make your machine seem human are seen as mechanical because of their distinct and uniformly sophisticated tone. Thus w…

Ironically OpenAI used Kenyan workers[1] to train its AI and now we've come to the point where Kenyans are being excluded because they sound too much like the AI that they helped t…

Barclays used to operate under Barclays Bank PLC. IMO, if disambiguation was problematic online they would have reverted back to that name. You bring up good points, but I don't th…

In many countries, company names are unique to that country. And combined with country TLDs controlled by the nation-state itself, it'd be possible for at least barclays.co.uk to b…

I'm not the OP, but I do have an annectote. We've got an backend pipeline that does image processing. At every step of the pipeline, it would make copies of small (less than 10MB) …

> Corporations have hijacked a concept that should exist on human timescales. I feel like this is true, but anytime I speak with colleagues in the arts (even UX and visual designer…

We're not in the US (hence all the power outages), so our recepits are 60% cash, 30% Mobile Money (our country specific accounts attached to your cell phone number), ~5% neighborho…

I think there's an opportunity here for small businesses who typically don't have a lot of people managing them. I run a resturaunt. Resturaunt software (POS, scheduling, table res…

Protects them from what may I ask? I live in a city where chickens are permitted, and my neighbors chickens are all roaming the streets free-range, and their greatest danger is car…

To put it in perspective, "we" on HN are like hairdressers who all chose to charge for our services. So it's less of a complaint and more of well meaning advise that he too should …

Why is capitalism only creating homeless encampments in San Fran and not generally in the US? Maybe it’s not capitalism at fault here but a government that is unwilling or unable t…

Bard gives me some nonsense about opening the door then touching the lightbulb to see if it's hot. I think it thought this was a trick question.

Then it looks like everyone is happy on both sides, right? This is good news. Big win for those who care about privacy over all else.

What if my millionaire neighbor burns down the house instead?
