Such an HN response. This is a page announcing a partnership and that a fam created idea for a themed set has been accepted.

The set is not anywhere near finalized, and they don’t make any claims close to that. The original fan made set uses a very creative spinning light, and I’m sure that will be built on.

1. The legend uses different icons than the visualization 2. Why would you purposefully make every bubble empty? Change the scale to 1000 employees otherwise it’s deceptive. 10k employees is arbitrary.

Useless data without context.

What is the age of the average Florida 2026 transplant? Couldn’t this just be near-retiree boomers moving to Florida, which doesn’t really indicate much?

What are these numbers compared to years prior? Do they fluctuate, or are they a continuous trend?

How much of the California and Texas numbers are caused by a small number of individuals (the Elon effect)?

One man’s fun is another man’s “idk what any of these words mean, I pay $20/mo for some company to abstract this complexity away”

For clarity, I do like blog posts like these.

UPI mandates are not wildly annoying to deal with. I’d pay 2.9% for someone to manage them for me.
I really do not want even more divergence between the price listed and what I actually pay.

TVs have streaming services, those need internet to function.

What else does anyone (average consumer) use their TV for? I don’t want a separate device to plug in and remote just to stream things.

Thank you for the suggestion! A lot of troubleshooting later but naps2 helped me confirm the correct error code. Turns out it’s a fatal hardware issue that was hidden through many usb connection error codes.
Would anyone be able to describe the workflow set up? OP, how are you getting seemingly innocuous prompts to run for so long?

I’d like to improve my skills - I am surely in actual prompt kiddie territory.

But I’ve got a personal injury claim coming up that is very complex, with tons of docs, legal speak, laws, etc. I’m hoping to have a set up like OPs that can go deep for a long time. How do I set that up? (Currently looking at Claude projects for context file storage, and just asking gemini for now to convert pdfs to raw text, and summarize them)

I’ve also got a cheap scanner that throws errors no matter what os/hardware I use. Sounds like a fun thing to throw some time at.

Do we know how the attacker used this knowledge to access wallets? I’m not super familiar with crypto or wallets but that’s the last piece I’m missing
An FDIC insured wallet would solve this, similar to bank accounts.
Interesting topic, but I don’t like this writing style. It’s a lot of words to say very little and repeats sentence structure often. The author assumes the reader knows about this hack already, and doesn’t not provide context on what it is, or details like why the attacker is storing coins in 4,000+ wallets.
Pure clickbait to define a start home solely by the price and nothing else. The titles claim is correct overall, correct for some cities, but incorrect for many cities. No mention of volume - how many homes are in the large “start home” band v the small top 5% band?

Regardless, even calling them lower cost houses still supports the thesis: more data on the K shaped economy.

Except this company is brand new and 100% skipped the ceo and cmo steps.
I’d rather have an NP 10 times out of ten for primary care
A lot of internal stuff ends up on Oracle cloud since it’s easier, jira, confluence, etc
You can’t really expect insurance companies to identify and support policies in areas where many homes may be at huge risk of flooding, while another has zero.

That’s massive operational overhead and is definitely not as simple as looking at elevation, and that overhead is reasonably not worth it for those companies.

I would pretty much disagree with everything here.

Paying off a 3% mortgage means you could not invest that money, which would return 7% on average or like 10+% recently. That is a lot of lost money.

Anyone whos not L5 at bigtech cannot afford any home on a cash basis. That’s not a realistic bar.

That being said, insurance is wildly different by state and location and it sounds like it royally sucks in Texas.

That support quote is from an LLM. If you have any escalation paths (twitter, or this thread lol) there may still be a way to change it back.
Omeprazole is not great long term FYI - worth talking to your doctor or getting a second opinion to discuss.

I’m going to need a wrapper for all these services offering this service.
I don’t know on perfect shuffles but for the sloppy shuffles, the deck is cut at a random location between each shuffle.
Upper limit of 14. I’m curious then - when playing cards with friends we start with a semi -random, but definitely clumped, deck. It gets shuffled a couple times.

How random is that deck? How many “cold spots” does it have? Just how not random of decks are people playing with, and ultimately does that even matter if players lack the knowledge or skill to change their play because of that knowledge?

They are, eng makes 600k/yr and I make 2, so their times is worth triple mine. It’s cost effective to make me toil and drown in frustration if it reduces ticket volume.

I’m not familiar with the project, but can anyone clarify what it means that it’s not intended to be used standalone and instead built into other projects? What’s the intention / expectation?

I spend at least 6 hours a week arguing with bots owned by other teams, as I’m unable to reach a human before I bypass their bot. 10k person company, clients are paying for my time.
Agreed - this shifts large single time purchases into MRR which looks way better to investors.
Artists want to make art, not sit on the phone coordinating with venues, vendors, promoters, insurance, marketing, etc.
