i67vw3on Launch HN: Inri (YC W23) – Wealthfront for Investing in India

I think they just made Aadhaar card mandatory. You have to link it to Pan Card within a set deadline or the Pan card becomes invalid.

No idea if NRI's also have to do it.

i67vw3on Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel has been hacked

When Jim Browning got 'hacked', I laughed out loud.

He should be the last person to be hacked.

It just solidified the argument that nobody is safe from 'phishing' when the victim is in the wrong state of mind and in a hurry.

i67vw3on Meta plans thousands more layoffs as soon as this week

>Their only bet is to lobby congress to ban tiktok.

Good point, the only way for 'Meta' shares to go up and for investors to have some confidence in 'Meta' is by Tiktok being banned in US (and other western countries like EU, Canada etc).

Automatically, the advertising money which was to go to Tiktok will go to Instagram (via Reels).

i67vw3on The widespread layoffs are more because of copycat behavior than cost-cutting

i67vw3on Can India Industrialize?

> Why has “Make in India” failed? It’s possible that the Indian regulatory environment and business culture just weren’t suited to this kind of big push for manufacturing, and that it would have succeeded in China or Vietnam.

i67vw3on YouTube has become the world's nanny

When I was a kid, I too ate in front of TV even if parents/elders told to eat on table, and not in front of a screen.

It is what kids will do.

And I myself have seen this behaviour, presently for kids upto the age of 10 years old (born around 2010), but the behaviour of newer kids born 3-4 years back is quite weird/concerning to me.

i67vw3on YouTube has become the world's nanny

Two of my sisters have in total 3 kids (4 to 6 years old) and all three of them need to watch youtube videos while eating.

Just few days back, my sister had a 'gathering' to announce her 2nd child (making it total 4 kids combined) and the 3rd kid needed to watch few youtube videos (usually they are of other kids playing or doing some stuff) to eat his dinner, which I found quite odd.

This thing is not only related to my sisters kids but for every new kid born in recent years, they will not eat 'peacefully' without youtube.

Also, TV cannot be used, it needs to be youtube where real kids are playing.

Edit:- Found the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCmSidxfQmY

Part of reason I 'think' is that these new kids born were not allowed to visit outside, leave home, make friends with neighbours kids, visit other families during Corona crisis and lockdown and they sub-consciously got attached to watching other kids doing fun things on youtube.

Someone should look into this as they are not watching Peppa Pig on youtube (which is also a kids show with characters as kids) but other human kids playing.

i67vw3on Firearms channels embrace Rumble as YouTube starts censoring videos

Odysee is also a good choice 'along' with Rumble.

As far as I know, Odysee also has many 3D printed gun manufacturing channels with design specs posted on odysee itself. As Odysee deals with Video, Audio, Image, Text Files it becomes easier for 3D printed gun channels.

i67vw3on India central bank warns crypto will cause next fin crisis if allowed to grow

The very same bank which did the demonetization of 500 & 1000 rupee notes [1] which failed spectacularly causing considerable 'macro-economic' instability.

The central bank brought new 500 & 2000 rupee notes after demonetization but now they completely removed the overall circulation of 2000 rupee note [2][3]. The whole thing came 'full circle'.

i67vw3on Ask HN: If I get locked out of everything, please try to help me

I had two gmail accounts. I created a new account with a pretty popular privacy respecting mail provider. I wanted the first gmail address as a backup (if the privacy respecting one does not work on some sites) while completely deleting the second gmail account.

I wanted some emails from both of these accounts to the new mail provider. So I exported from the first gmail account and then mass deleted all other unimportant mail from the first gmail account.

Then, I did opposite for the second gmail account. I first mass deleted from the second gmail account but then got locked out from my own gmail due to 'suspicious activity'. So now, I can neither import some mails from my second gmail account and neither can delete the entire account, the way I wanted to do it.

Luckily, the second gmail account was the useless one. I tried to unlock it to get my mails, but as usual there is no one to contact at google.
