Scott’s Cheap Flights just rebranded to Going. Would there be a good way for him to forecast the SEO impact of that change (which seems on the surface to be probably large)?

I’m no m&a expert but I’ve been involved with due diligence for a few acquisitions nearly identical to this. It’s a somewhat adversarial process wrapped in pleasantries and some extension of good faith. It’s nearly impossible to vet e

The problem is that the guys that send dick pics to complete strangers and women that are just surfing for free meals are still out there. They pollute the entire experience by having a large number of low-effort interactions, and in the d

It also just becomes difficult to motivate the gas towards the intake of the pump. IIRC turbomolecular pumps, which are used for deep vacuum applications, have a large intake area and work by basically spinning a huge array of blades at ver

User idiotsecant posted this excerpt from ChatGPT a couple of weeks ago. It kind of blows my mind (the last paragraph). It feels a bit beyond just basic probabilities of words. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33833178

I just checked my Amazon order history and I bought my Nest thermostat 10 years ago this past October. I’ve got some beef with the original design, for example there’s no good reason why they don’t support a local thermocouple versus Wi-Fi

That's because there's no penalty for paying someone outside of the range...so it's mostly posturing bullshit.

It's acceptable to me. Is there an obligation in the law to list salary range at every recruiting reference? If not, is HN now obligated to monitor every official posting for salary range? If you have a problem with the company, report
