I write them constantly. I've tried calling, emailing, faxing, snail mail. I've only ever received a handful of generic form letter responses.

The lobby is louder.

The openweb will go the way of usenet. Bots talking to bots, fetching information for a higher tool.

Someone got a low score
How do you expect to have a trade balance with a country that is 10% of your population.
With each other maybe? In practice they are very aligned.
I've always said that the only way Trump would "Make America Great" would be to show the world how completely hollowed out by kleptocrats we've become.

These moves increase other countries independence of us, lessening our power and forcing us into a more post America world.

If Trump isn't a double agent then he missed his calling. It feels like every decision they are making is intentionally the "wrong" one.

Show HN: Sticky Icky – a ditherpunk sticker designer for the Zebra LP2844

https://github.com/nastronot/sticky-icky

Browser-based sticker designer for a Zebra LP2844 thermal label printer. I bought an $40 UPS branded LP2844 to print stickers and ended up building this after I couldn't find existing tools that did what I wanted.GW raster appears to be broken over USB on firmware V4.29, so it prints over serial from a FastAPI backend. More notes on what I ran into are in the README. Image pipeline does XOR...

This is rad. Any info on running it on a small box for the living room? It would be perfect for my parents.

I can't remember either but they nailed it. When the sax comes in and the voice overlay hit's you with "Your extended forecast"; I'm right back in the kitchen before school eating cereal with the kitchen TV on the weather channel.

Edit: another comment mentioned it was generated with Suno

I love how it's built. How they did the blurring and filter stacking. I assumed the whole thing was being streamed in as video.

Good job Weather Channel dev. I just wish it would loop forever. Make a loop checkbox at the start screen.

Also the music slaps.

I think you're in the wrong place for that sort of nonsense
regarding buzzword usage

"YOU WILL BE PENALIZED FOR USING THEM"

That is disconcerting.

You can be emphatic all you want but I refuse to believe that pharma has no say in pricing. Ludicrous.
You can get human insulin from Walmart for 25 a vial without a prescription.

Insulin analogs are most prescribed and subject to pricing issues. Particularly important to those with insulin resistance.

Yeah but think of the MONEY

FSD just killed a guy today.
Hooray. More ways to end life.
Pegasus and NSO.

(Edit: of course I'm flagged for this. Surprise surprise)

If you can't find what you need, make it.

Well done.

Wall Street is a scam. We can't move on as a society while it is in control.

The real threat to global security is single-focus energy plans formulated by oligarchs.

It's always the "vacation that I take once a year" that people use as an excuse, meanwhile families are filling two vehicles twice a week.

Get real and get new material.
