Same - very easy to setup with Cloudflare Email Routing and no fees. All email gets forwarded to an obscure Gmail, and use Amazon SES for sending emails (also ends up being free due to super low volume of emails).
I'm struggling to understand the narrative around how Oracle is being positioned as a rival to Nvidia in the context of AI, or AI in general: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-may-have-a-rival-on-th...

"Oracle is clearly leveraging a number of advantages in its cloud software/hardware businesses to attract the largest of the AI enterprises, including OpenAI, xAI, Meta, NVIDIA and AMD,"

What exactly are these advantages?

I came here to share the exact same thing - this has been happening for weeks now and it is extremely frustrating. Have to constantly tell Claude to rewrite the artifact from scratch or write it from scratch into a new artifact. This needs to be a priority item to fix.

To opt out of sharing your telemetry data in Kiro, use this procedure:

1. Open Settings in Kiro.

2. Switch to the User sub-tab.

3. Choose Application, and from the drop-down choose Telemetry and Content.

4. In the Telemetry and Content drop-down field, select Disabled to disable all product telemetry and user data collection.

Piggybacking on this comment, what about alternatives for good/basic shared hosting? (i.e., PHP, MySQL, etc.) I've got a few WP sites that I maintain where I need keep something reliable, secure/trusted, and relatively low-cost.

You can do this easily (and for free) via Cloudflare [1]. Works great, I've been using it across several domains for quite some time. Migrated from Google.

>instant alternative to expensive healthcare. My hope is that users would try the advice Miko gives them but also visit their doctor if their symptoms persisted.

Being asked to sign up immediately with no other details on the actual app/site to describe what it's for is going to be an immediate "no, thanks". I even tried going to the main page (https://mikopharm.bubbleapps.io/) and there is nothing there either. I'm not familiar with bubble.io either so also not sure what I'd be signing up for as far as the underlying platform is concerned.

What does this have to do with Amazon specifically, especially when you mention that the same units can be purchased on AliExpress?

I have heard similar things from friends that use it on iOS but on Android, I haven't missed any call I was expecting. Even when I've lost connection to data (e.g., in an elevator or something) and a call was made, at least I see the missed call notification after my data was restored. Fongo is another option for a Canadian option.
Simple and free solutions exist for this exact purpose: TextNow, Fongo, etc. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33169096
I think TextNow offers a better solution and I've been using it to do this for quite some time and it doesn't require any kind of forwarding. I can send/receive calls and messages directly from within its app and recycle numbers at any time - all for free (ad supported). Calls are of great quality too and it even includes voicemail. If I really like a number and want to lock it (to also receive 2FA codes), it's a yearly $7 fee. Works with area codes in US and Canada.

I think there are other options like Fongo and probably a dozen other similar services that already have been doing this for some time. Not really seeing the value proposition of going with the Mozilla option here. Am I missing something?

Re:FedNow FAQ on Thursday August 18, 2022 @12:45PM (#32511994)
This has existed in Canada for a very long time via Interac e-Transfers and it doesn't cost anything. You can send money instantly from one bank to any other bank. You do this by sending to someone's email or phone number. The recipient can setup auto-deposit so the money is deposited instantly. For this reason, Venmo, Cash App, etc. makes no sense in Canada either.

Re:Ask HN: How to move away from Google on Wednesday March 30, 2022 @06:43PM (#30861753)
I recently moved all emails on personal domains to Cloudflare Email Routing [1]. It works flawlessly and you can setup ProtonMail or whatever other email you want as your private address that everything gets forwarded to without having to reveal what the destination address is.

For sending email, I setup an SMTP relay via Amazon SES. If you verify your domain, you can send an email from any alias.

This combination works great!

I would just add that it is not just VCs but also everyday people expecting to get "rich" overnight that buy into the FOMO.

Happy customer of Cloudflare Email Routing - it works exceptionally well. I've paired it with Amazon SES for the occasional time I need to send emails from custom domain.

I've used Name.com for many years and have been very happy, but recently switched basic shared hosting from another provider to Gandi.net and got exposed to their backend and tools. I am now considering transferring my domains over as they come up for renewal; been very impressed!
Re:Cities should not pay for new stadiums on Tuesday March 15, 2022 @05:31AM (#30683296)
>I think what you mean by "travel outside the USA" might be "travel in Europe". I'd bet that you'd get more recognition of the Lakers in, say, China than any of those Premier League teams.

Hard disagree on this one. It is in fact "outside the USA" because globally (not just in Europe), English Premier League teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, etc. are extremely popular, especially in China.

Re:Cities should not pay for new stadiums on Tuesday March 15, 2022 @05:16AM (#30683189)
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and is now arguably the 4th most popular sport in the US placing it ahead of NHL (Ice Hockey) and it is fast expanding in reach and popularity across the country. Part of the reason for this is that it is generally a very accessible sport to both play and watch as a spectator. Even for the casual attendee, it provides a fun atmosphere to experience - you don't need to be a hardcore fan to enjoy it.

The most recent expansion team, Austin FC, sold out 100% of every home game in their inaugural season with an average of 20k+ attendees in a privately-funded city-owned stadium.

Also let's not forget about the USWNT who are the most successful team in international women's soccer.
