Great idea. Tornado cash already implemented it years ago. :p

Almost all banks are required to comply with tracking and sharing tax information due to OECD agreement at country level for tax reporting standardization.

It's the default regardless of the country unless you are sanctioned.

It's a factor but only a single one among multiple others.

It is not prohibited for an individual to maintain a foreign bank account in India but capital controls (FEMA) applies and banks providing services to Indian residents might need to comply with regulatory framework.

It's the same in most countries. The regulatory burden may be different but banking presence is required in the country if you are serving domestic market at scale.

Indian residents can open HSBC expat account domiciled on the jersey island as an example.

At least in India, banks are required to pay you every day for delays to resolve major issues beyond what is considered reasonable. OP's case would likely fall under it.

It's part of RBI (Reserve Bank Of India) guidelines. The scope is expanding every few years to cover every situation.

WSL 2 itself is fast but any GUI tooling around it is slow. Vscode for example needs to start a remote server inside wsl to do anything.

In practice, most conferences don't want to allow transferable tickets because it ends up with a scalper situation.

The scalper will annoy everyone and take any money that would otherwise go to conference.

Secondary market for tickets is very small.

You can use https://replicate.ai for heroku like experience. It's very expensive though but they charge compute per second based on requests.

Otherwise, I recommend using runpod, lambda, etc for an order of magnitude of savings.

Crowd source services like vast.ai aren't reliable and barely less expensive than dedicated low cost providers.

Your example is not good. Speeding is not a technical innovation that require any fundamental change. It is enforced in automated fashion and it is beneficial for the safety of public at large if reasonably implemented.

All laws are made in interest of someone.

Does the copyright apply to AI models since they are out of scope and weren't widespread when it came into force?

Does the proposed benefit in the original law apply in practice?

Are they more beneficial than the progress allowed by AI models who use them as training data?

Is the copyright law practically enforceable on output generated by AI models?

> Other parties doing is no excuse imo

It is. Laws are adapted based on widespread technological capabilities and progress.

As an example, if it is easy to create real voice or signature using AI models - they should no longer be considered effective evidence for contractual reason instead of enforcing that it is illegal to forge it. That is not going to work.

Past shouldn't dictate what we allow tomorrow.

> it is also not mentioning that "academic excellence" in high school has moved from straight As to 6-8 AP exams in a single year, i shit you not.

Same in India.

There is 0.1 to 0.6% chance of getting into any prestigious university depending on the demographic factors of student. This is after extensive filtering in high school.

99% of students spend 6-8 hours in coaching daily for years to get rejected since we follow stack ranking with limited seats.

What's sobering is government tried to increase elite universities but people don't perceive them as such even if they have better infrastructure, faculty, and education without the same low acceptance rate.

Many kids are forced to do these activities to pad their application for colleges and sometimes it is for show and prestige.

Stablecoin issuers are one of the largest treasury holder today. They are growing and capitalising fast. It's a matter of few years before they pose systematic risk outside crypto.

> I wouldn't actually do that again, my views have evolved a bit

On the matter concerning work hours or to tell the candidates about it?

Not on the new macbooks. You will break your display over time. The distance between screen and keyboard when closed is 0.1mm

Amusing, I have run into the same idea with a call from someone on HN. We discussed using crypto to stream payment and auto bid for ad slots against advertisers on pages in the browser. The browser would get rid of ads based on how important a page is for you.

I definitely think it is viable. Execution is going to be hard.

Brave does something similar to what you are saying and they've struggled to gain enough traction in practice.

They have to scrape the site in the background to work. While this is doable, any such client will need to follow the HN bot policy which limits the scrapping speed.

Another issue is browser only client. If HN has set proper cors (I didn't check if it is the case), then you cannot build a web client through scrapping without proxy.

A few states in India force revenue and annual growth quota on the alcohol sellers because they are dependent on the tax revenue.

Was it inspired by graphcdn?

They have the same benefit.

Good to see nonetheless.

Scam and fraud from companies and vendors.

I've had official employees from a big company try to scam me. I now only pay using credit card.

Plenty of escrow services exist to resolve this and there are a few variation of on-chain court for dispute handling such as kleros.

The reality is very few people know they can chargeback and most use debt & instant payment option for low ticket high volume transactions.

If something was holding crypto from being used to pay for daily essentials, it is not charge back ability.

> Fees. The whole point of credit cards - for the CC companies of course - is fees.

On the merchant side, yes.

On the consumer side, no. There aren't many examples than Amex which is mostly popular in US charging high fees for their credit cards.

Most credit card companies make money from merchant run programs and overdraft & interest on late payments and penalties. They make half of their profit from vulnerable and poor people to pay rewards.

Predictability in cash flow and free rewards in India. Most places do not charge extra for credit cards and nor do you pay annual credit card fee in most cases.

It's an interest free loan for upto 45 days. Many banks will provide 3.5 - 6% interest without risk. If you spend a lot monthly, it's a free nice dinner every month without doing anything. If you can use the capital, it can be worth more.

They provide free lounge access and food at airport + concierge service for discounted bookings at hotels.

Chargeback protection is necessary in India.

We also have rupay, which is now international as an alternative to visa and Mastercard.

Credit card usage has been declining in India.

It does not to me. It is similar to pet friendly, unmarried couple friendly, foreigner friendly, etc tag. It wastes less time of everyone while law enforcement cracks down on discrimination of protected classes.

A lot of people have misconception that all Indian food is oily and strong in smell but that's far from true. That is the primary reason given for excluding Indian tenants everywhere.

For some reason, north Indian food is over represented by a significant margin. On top of it, people expect restaurant style food to be cooked at home except nobody does that. Most young people do not use strong ghee or spices. With proper ventilation, it is not a problem at all.

You cannot install safari on Windows and Linux. If you want to support apple users, you need to get a mac.

Safari often has bugs and rendering issue which aren't present on Chromium or Firefox and need fallback.

You can resolve the issue by getting this apple cable: https://www.amazon.in/Apple-MK122HN-Power-Adapter-Extension/...

I suggest reading the reviews since some people got the wrong ungrounded version of cable on amazon.

Apple India support is aware of the issue.

> Stablecoins aren’t a zero-trust system. It’s a system where you need to trust both the underlying currency and the developer.

You can minimise and swap these risks for others. It all depends on what the threat model is.

The collateral can be asset backed diversified across multiple countries and not dependent on a single currency. Some of the newer and upcoming stablecoins use asset in crypto to back themselves to reduce any dependency on country backed currency reserves.

Developers can and do burn control of the contracts once its established that they are safe and not exploitable. Of course this is a risk where you cannot make any future change but protect against risk of developers rugging you.

Right from the new macbook box. This issue is likely regional because apple sell chargers with different socket depending on the region. Some of them probably have proper grounding support despite being 2 pin.

Apparently, this is not uncommon issue. The solution is to buy another cable from apple.

Do not use the standard charger if you can feel buzz on top of your laptop. Find a replacement and use it.

I'm using a separate USB type c charger which does not have the issue with proper ground support (came with my $400 windows laptop).

While the buzz on top might be tame, the ports can result in more shock.
