azifalion Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price

Absolutely love this! Cummins is a well established engine. Plenty of opportunity to disrupt without having to build out a boatload of tech.

azifalion 1Password detects "suspicious activity" in its internal Okta account

azifalion Tell HN: Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak

azifalion Indian government empowers itself to “fact check,” delete social media posts

A clear case of inmates running the asylum.

azifalion Rebranding the Wise design system for everyone (part 1)

I have no opinion on the wise design redesign except the app is beginning to break ( can’t edit failed transfers, web app points to email and email points back to web app), non existent customer support with standard templates with execs in the UK time zone.

I’d request the wise team to focus on the core product in addition to making necessary ui/ux enhancements. I use wise heavily and the recent experience has me looking for alternatives

azifalion Tell HN: Razorpay a YC company shared donor data under a Section 91 order

How many terrorists activities did Amnesty International sponsor? Why were they shut down if they didn't..

azifalion Tell HN: Razorpay a YC company shared donor data under a Section 91 order

It has slid into authoritarianism.

azifalion Tell HN: Razorpay a YC company shared donor data under a Section 91 order

You definitely do not want to believe the cop versions of the story. Cops in India have been planting fake evidence in the activists phones and they will go any length to prosecute those who fight the system

azifalion Ask HN: Burnt out developer trying to move out of Iran, advices?

Agree with this completely

azifalion Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs?

+1 on the frustration. The UX is bad on desktops, mobiles and in-car systems..

azifalion UN registers 'Türkiye' as new country name to replace 'Turkey'

The Ottoman traders brought the "turkey" bird from the Americas to trade.. ultimately embarrassing the modern day Turkey enough to force change its name.

azifalion SELinux is unmanageable; just turn it off if it gets in your way

KubeArmor (https://github.com/kubearmor) makes implementing SELinux policies easy for your host / k8s workloads.

Please do checkout the project and provide your valuable feedback.

All of our policies for SElinux are Auto generated using https://github.com/accuknox/discovery-engine

Writing policies by hand is nearly impossible, error prone and that is the exact problem we are trying to solve - to make SELinux and AppArmor easy for K8s workloads and now host based workloads.

azifalion Researchers train an algorithm to interpret pig grunts as emotions

Wow!

azifalion Trapped in Silicon Valley’s hidden caste system

Caste system exists in Muslims in India albeit at much lower levels than mainstream Indian Hindus. Muslims have been more steadily organizing as Sunnis, Shias and everyone else.

But invisible cultural barriers exist when it comes to language even though caste barriers have gone away.

azifalion Log4Shell update: second Log4j vulnerability published

azifalion U.S. State Department phones hacked with Israeli company spyware

NSO should be declared a terrorist organization and enemy combatant.

azifalion U.S. declares more than 20 species extinct after exhaustive searches

:-(

azifalion Use Pixar's story formula to win over investors

“As a startup founder, 90% of your job is storytelling”.. No it’s not. It’s solving a real problem.

azifalion The blackout Palestinians are facing on social media

As a progressive Muslim - I believe both Israel and Palestine have the right to exist, and thrive.

Unfortunately, it looks like the state of Israel has now become a needless oppressor and are content building an apartheid state without learning from the past.

azifalion The insane developement history of the Israeli AD system

As someone said, this is a very shallow article...

azifalion India’s new intermediary liability and digital media laws will harm the internet

Yet another regressive move from a repressive party trying to have the cake and eat it too, with free market policies where it makes sense and a China style control with a single party where convenient.

These laws are likely to be enforced against Big Tech but the real losers are going to be users.

azifalion How to lower the price of plant-based meat

Completely agree. Why can't we all just eat regular, and not so highly processed vegetables if we want to make the switch to healthier diet..

azifalion Bill would allow tech companies to form local governments

Sounds like a really bad idea; or a plot from a dystopian novel.

azifalion It’s Time for Real Time Settlement

I am not quite sure if everyone else is ready for this.

azifalion India proposes law to ban cryptocurrencies, create official digital currency

Divorce should be easy. Marriage is not which needs protection and government meddling. Two consenting adults should choose to live together or apart as they feel fit. I would resist any call to make the government a part of our personal lives. Dangerous proposition to say the list with no limit to when we can draw the line.

azifalion India proposes law to ban cryptocurrencies, create official digital currency

I think this is a needless and draconian proposal.

If the government stops meddling with the constitutional rights of its citizen subjects, restore Right to Information (RTI), remove election fraud and fundraising which is tremendously boosting the currently elected government - they would have bestowed a huge favor to its citizens and the future generations.

azifalion Thanks HN: You helped save a company that now helps thousands make a living

Vlad - Congratulations. I used to see you and Sergie at Hackerdojo in 2012-13 when it was very early days of Webflow. It is great to see what what you've accomplished despite the challenging circumstances.

azifalion Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset induces anticancer response

I do this every year as a part of Ramadhan. Though I am not very religious - fasting and taking a break from the usual each year is uplifting, deeply spiritual and of course has health benefits..
