I need to fish the exact one but this is the public cover of that

https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directora...

In 2010, Indian railways switched from a four-digit numbering system to five digits.

They were running out of train numbers.

Indian railways today operates 13,000 trains daily.

There is a PDF that talks about the problem, the solution, exceptions, and a rollout plan.

One fine day, IT systems seamlessly transitioned—-took some time to wipe the old numbers from passengers memories.

Isn’t your headline deceptive? Open source farming bot and the next CTA is order now for $2700?

What is not mentioned is that this small $500M amount drives bonuses and targets for teams that continue to extort customers.

Is there an argument against Open Source AI?

Not the usual nation-state rhetoric, but something that justifies that closed source leads to better user-experience and fewer security and privacy issues.

An ecosystem that benefits vendors, customers, and the makers of close source?

Are there historical analogies other than Microsoft Windows or Apple iPhone / iOS?

We are a zoom shop, but other options are welcome too.

is there a way to add our own questions/board?

Very cool! Love the project. Thanks.

I watch Jeopardy a lot -- that bartender from New York achieving 9 days of wins, was an amazing thing to watch.

Curious: are you using questions from the game or built your own database?

Dark side of API-based access to everything on SaaS where companies have no control.

I can’t guard the front door effectively.

Nor, I can easily guard the back doors.

Will data breaches like these: AT&T, Ticketmaster, and now Disney—-a nail in Security coffins for SaaS?

In the age of attention deficit infused dopamine—-who has the time for an Easter egg?

Instead, engineers and product managers, slow roll quirkiness on social media.

I grew up in a boarding school—-the only checkin was them sending me a letter and me writing back.

By the time a round trip completed—-a broken bone would have completely healed and plaster removed.

Why is no one working on an exclusion algorithm that excludes search results, such as:

- do not show me results that have advertising in it

- do not show me results whose content ranks high on SEO score

- do not show me results content hidden behind paywall or login

This was common during 2001 when toolbar or browser plugins would rerank the results based on several criteria--why is this no longer a thing now?

Isn’t all of the data available to the government especially in the US via federal banking system?

Every dollar transaction in the world is reported back to banks in Wall St.

Where was Cornelius Vanderbilt in this? There is no reference at all.

...and my SO complains about my Natgeo print collection.

IPO HN: Reddit (YC S05)

This meme never gets old.

Aside from that, I wish there existed a MemeGPT to automatically create a meme given a script of course, us humans would manually "fine-tune" it ;-)

We need to go back to the future of something like ODP[1]--human curated directory of weird sites written by humans.

[1]Open Directory Project.

LOL.

Pretty confident that with posts like these, no marketer wants to come to HN and ruin our experience.

These eclectic sounds are for a certain types of individuals and there is no quantifiable commercial value for search engine juice.

Thank you for the audio.

Feels like a very believable setup for Andy Weir’s next novel.

When I got married, I received telegraph message “twenty-five” from many distant friends and relatives.

Cheaper to send a two word greeting rather than a fully decoded message.

I have a whole garage shelf filled with National Geographic magazine since 2013—-after I moved to the United States.

Reading natgeo was a dream—-I bought used copies roadside in the bylanes of Kolkata.

Once in a while my SO questions the same. I change the topic and continue to cherish the collection.

Wish: Stories like these should be published during the weekend.

So that one can leisurely read, meander into the hyperlinks, watch a few related Ken Burns videos, and then ruminate even more by creating some Dall-E images.

Most of that time's history does not cover the incredible economic development that happened during that period, where US capita income leapfrogged that of Britain. Thousands of new patents were filed, new machines were created, and the foundation of the financial and industrial boom was created, the riches of which we still enjoy today.

Waiting for our own Batman to emerge.

- We got the billionaires who lack superpowers.

- We got the complex persona of tech loving traumatized brotherhoods.

- We got the real-time deductive capabilities of AirPod + Whisper APIs

Isn’t this the same office where Travis could come out to market st using a secret passage?

Reading comments makes me feel that we need a monthly..

"Show HN: All the new bookmarklets."

:-)

I want the bell bottoms, long nails, and pierced ears.

our local store in the bay area has on and off supply of green mangoes. I do not know about the variety but it does the job. It is not as sour as the ones found in India.

I no longer bring mango pickles from India——I started making it since 2022[0] San Francisco Bay Area Summer.
