The UK is becoming a destination country for hiring low-cost services labor. Not exactly an endorsement of future success.

I'm surprised it isn't common for companies to just block inbound external email by default. Most of the time I have an inbox rule enabled that just deletes anything not from the corporate domain and a few other known services.

Depends what you need covered. Not all medications are reasonably covered by all plans. Good luck if you’re unable to take the medication that your insurance pushes you to take. The appeals process isn’t necessarily easy, even with doctors

I'd argue this is worse than a "Great Firewall of America". The law is poorly thought out and poorly written, but it's something that any company's legal team can point to and understand why they may fall out of com

I seriously doubt the overwhelming majority of candidates are asking for the detailed coverage information from the company's health insurance. I did this twice as I have specific needs with coverage. Both times were with in-house recr

I'm not sure there's much really stopping 51 members of the Senate from ramming through a rule-change to completely do away with the filibuster.

Perhaps the product isn't for you. I don't know Kagi's financials, but this is usually the case for a lot of products with a smaller customer base. For example, a block of Kraft cheddar will be a lot cheaper than an equivalen

$10 felt a bit steep until I realized there is probably the economies of scale at play here. 1) There is a marginal payment overhead. I'd assume $0.50-0.75, leaving their amount down to $9-ish. 2) It's a fairly niche product with

Unfortunately there a number of people who fail to take a moment and understand the “why” behind a problem or process. I’ve enjoyed being on teams and organizations that have tried to focus on the “why” instead of jumping to conclusions bec

I've been using a 120V outlet for a few years. I recoup about 50-60mi overnight without an issue. I figured I'd get around to installing a 240V outlet but it just hasn't been necessary.

They can demand whatever they want, it doesn't mean their demands should or will be respected. The UK only has ~70 million people.

To add, as someone who’s called offices to share opinions over the last several years: You may get either voicemail or someone will pick up. A staffer will be who gets these messages, so be polite. Simply being polite means you’d be doing b

I'd assume states with tighter budgets and less of a tax base will be unable to replicate FEMA's resources, while more populous and wealthy states will be able to work around it. My questions are if this would have any repurcussio

What about a background data refresh task running and the server geolocating the IP making the request? The accuracy would vary but you could still get reasonably close to assuming someone's nearest city. Background data refresh is rea

And if this whole exercise turns out to be a flop and gets us absolutely nowhere closer to AGI? “AGI” has proven to be today’s hot marketing stunt for when you need to raise another round of cash and your only viable product is optimism. Fl

Or go for the small-town gossip feel and have fun with $10 in LLM credits. "Generate a quick (salacious|funny|sad) story involving (random group member) and (random object) happening at (randomly selected location)."

Most people don't care about the platform that's used if there's enough buy-in. I was part of something similar a few years ago at a local makerspace. We were using Meetup.com for a while then someone relatively new suggested

YouTube Shorts is terrible. YouTube clearly wanted to have some answer to short-form video but without putting much effort into it. Instagram Reels is a bit better but it feels very "sanitized" and fake.

That justification also seems like it quickly can be used to shutdown access to VPN services hosted elsewhere like Mullvad.

This is the camp I'm in. I've given AI the "college try", I've tried using in my workflows, and I've found that there are some cases where it genuinely has helped. But there is far too much drivel and hype. I w

Yeah… This thread exemplifies the HN trope of the “analytical type” who thinks they’re more social and more intelligent than others while coming across as bizarrely out of touch. It’s basically the r/athiesm equivalent.

Bluntly? “Vibes” I’m skeptical given how common of a sentiment it is that Facebook and Instagram are dead. Over the last few years they’ve been adding more and more “suggested” content in the feeds and then there’s talk of adding AI-generat

Bringing up unrelated grievances is a great way to divide a group. If you’re annoyed with “woke”, form a group to protest that.
