AkshayPrabhu··on Ask HN: Why do search terms like 'Generate -1 to 1' return nothing on Google?
The minus sign excludes a term, for example "-Dell laptop" would result laptops where "Dell" isn't in the results.

By searching "-1 1" you're searching for the term "1"and then excluding all results with the term" 1".

AkshayPrabhu··on Payment processor for Amazon India had leak of over 100M users
I'm not fully sure to what extent Juspay is used but one feature they use heavily is autofilling OTPs. Unlike the US, to make a card payment online according to RBI's guidelines, you need to enter a one time password that in most cases is sent to you over SMS.

What Juspay does is, it scans your SMSes and pastes the OTP automatically into the payment page. All the user has to do is click an approve button, streamlining the process as the user never has to exit the app.
