Magnificent 7, the new FAANG where Netflix got swapped to NVIDIA and Tesla got added.

Thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and the process of solving the mystery withdrawal, even though the outcome wasn’t what I expected. Consumed through an email client so the AI image didn’t bother me either.
Re:Tell HN: Alaska Airlines website exposes passenger data on Saturday December 07, 2024 @01:02AM (#42347618)
Thanks! Just did. I didn't think of it the first time given they escalated me to someone who then asked me to verify the information I had just told them over email. Maybe this will get their attention.

Tell HN: Alaska Airlines website exposes passenger data

TL;DR: Alaska exposes other customers names, record locators, flight information, phone numbers emails, and probably more. I could have canceled or changed these people's flights.The first time it happened it appeared by seeing "Treat yourself, Samantha" in the website ad for upgrading yourself to Premium class. My name is not Samantha.I clicked, and saw Samantha Lastname was traveling from...

Yeah bilberry land is the correct translation. The grocery store blueberry translates to pensasmustikka and the flavor is a lot less intense.

+1 to Mercury. And from the what I’ve seen from other founders / CEO using you all, I’m not alone!

Incredibly easy setup, great UI/UX and no nickeling and diming with fees of any kind. Makes me wonder what are your unit economics like as you obviously will be making losses from the very smallest of customers?

If anyone is looking for alternatives, I’ve found Linear.app to be like a breath of fresh air compared to Jira.

All I was looking for after the slugfest of Jira was fast performance and keyboard shortcuts, and so far linear has been able to deliver.

The headline here spills the beans but it's definitely worth watching his announcement video "It's time to come clean" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a-k6eaT-jQ

I was certain he is announcing he's working with a team of ghost writers given his extraordinary writing speed.

Almost certainly more than 100% bigger in two to four years, if Gartber predicts 50% growth for 2022-2021 alone. And many project more.

What’s more, the growth will likely pick up each year as more and better EVs become available, and more people start considering them as a real alternative.

Really cool use-cases! I wonder why you decided to move them under a separate page instead of showcasing them front and center?

Right now the focus seems to be how easy it is for developers to get going, but it doesn’t really talk to me why I should be doing it.

Once I read the use-cases I get the idea and I’m impressed, but the drop off from people not bothering to click on a 2nd page can be surprisingly big.

You might want to look into tools like Wingspan to save up some time with the 1099s. Even Gusto's contractor plan might work depending on your use-case.
Re:Tech founder out after antisemitic, anti-vaccine email on Tuesday January 04, 2022 @07:45PM (#29803286)
How does someone fall into a rabbit hole of such hot garbage?

From the outside, you'd think that a successful tech founder would have some qualities that help them to avoid falling for such blatant misinformation. He would have needed to research the market, competition and investors, but apparently the same rigor didn't need to apply here.

At the very least, you'd think he would have been smart enough to keep his opinions to himself. Like, he starts with email saying that the recipients "will think I’m crazy after reading it", and still decides to hit the send button.
