News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Is CapOne unique among banks and sells data that e.g. Chase and Citi don't?
Unfortunately, this is essentially high level clickbait. At the beginning he immediately portrays the issue as black and white:

>AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice.

In all likelihood it will probably fall in the middle, with the likelihood that it will tilt power and money towards the already ultra wealthy (to the surprise of no one). But it will enable ordinary people and small businesses to do cool shit and make their lives better.

Thanks! His mom is a badass.

Now THIS is what hacking is all about. Very cool.

Question: in auto racing, could one have a Pareto Front balancing single lap pace (qualifying optimization) and race pace (pace over an entire stint of e.g. 20+ laps)?

This is a cool way to gamify weightlifting. Cheers!

We need intensely ambitious and competitive people. We shouldn't use money to keep score.
Nice saying. Another one I just remembered is "We don't have enough money to do it right, but we have enough to do it twice."

You know people lie, right? Especially when the lie casts them in a better light and/or makes them more money.

I think the point they are trying to make is the golden retriever vibe/energy you get from Claude gives "after work yoga."
There are Chinooks with no bids as of yet....as well as a Bombardier Challenger
The controller was talking to Frontier plane when he first said stop, then said stopstopTruck1stopstopstop and it would be easy for there to be a gap in processing for the driver of truck 1 because the verbiage all flowed in the same stanza that was started when addressing the Frontier flight.

Re:What CI looks like at a 100-person team (PostHog) on Tuesday March 17, 2026 @10:22AM (#47413112)
We get it! They have 22,477 tests with a 99.98% pass rate, ship 65 commits to main daily, and keep 98 engineers productive on a single monorepo.

I thought the repetition of these statitics was a little tired, but overall that's an impressive solution. Also totally get that the hardest part is log ingestion and indexing.

>They are a luxury item, you are paying for the privilege of signaling you can afford $550 headphones.

Plus they give juuuust enough features to cover for the true purpose and give you plausible deniability. Same as most luxury items. None truly give the value of the cost (Is a Ferrari 10x as fast as a GR86? Carry 10x as much stuff? Go 10x as far on the same gas load? Etc etc etc)

"Oh but there's nothing like the experience of driving a Ferrari!"

OP literally said that users add their domains, meaning they are explicitly ASKING OP to scrape their websites.
I think there's another dimension to this, which is the toxic home life which led to these behaviors. Good luck unpacking this all and getting healthier.

Re:Hard-braking events as indicators of road segment crash risk on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @10:41AM (#46961281)
As far as I understand, many not-at-fault accidents DO make one's rates go up. The rationale being "the places she drives are extra dangerous and puts our client at risk, despite driving properly."
Re:Hard-braking events as indicators of road segment crash risk on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @10:35AM (#46961145)
As I mentioned in another comment, Waze does this. There's a stretch of the Capital Beltway that, if it was on a race track and compressed, would be called "esses." It's totally fine to navigate at 80 MPH with no drama in any mechanically sound, post-1980 car, but it catches mediocre drivers by surprise. Waze throws up a "history of accidents" message whenever I drive through it.
Re:Hard-braking events as indicators of road segment crash risk on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @10:32AM (#46961091)
Waze has this, and it works off of the same underlying data IIRC. It pops up a "history of accidents" note.

Same here. I still crave sweets like nutella before I got to bed. I just don't eat as much of it.

This is a weird example because there are crappy go-karts and there are carefully designed and assembled go-karts. You can have a high quality anything: car, truck, go-kart, trailer, wagon.
Re:Ask HN: What did you find out or explore today? on Thursday January 15, 2026 @08:12AM (#46631958)
I cannot add git Bash as an option for a terminal in VSCode. I had it installed via PortableGit and the chat told me it doesn't work unless it's in a standard location. I installed in a standard location and still no dice.

It literally says "first" in the upper right hand corner of the image indicating the red seats, which are clearly not as nice as the purple seats, aka Delta One?
You guys are getting bags?
