Isn't this fundamentally a statistical issue? With a test sensitivity of 99%, meaning a 1% false positive rate, administering it universally to individuals would generate a significant number of false positives. This influx could overwhelm the system, potentially limiting access for those who genuinely require medical attention.

Tim Robinson has this sketch about the phone that, on the surface, is totally ridiculous—but if you take a step back, it’s actually kind of thought-provoking. His comedy isn’t for everyone, but when he nails something, he really nails it.

Interesting part of the story is the hacker who stole them is a YC alumni, he founded mixrank. Kid only got 5 years in prison for stealing $1B.

No ads? The majority of hn submissions are ads! Comments too.

Where do you live? I'd love to go grab a beer with you.

The founders sold 5 years ago to PayPal. Do they just get to laugh on their way to the bank? Probably.

Russian is not a race.

Either coffee hadn't kicked in yet or an edit on the parent? Not sure but I definitely missed it. Probably the coffee.

IIRC, FDIC only covers the deposits if the underlying bank fails, not the fintec layer built on top of it. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

One of the lowest, now.

We've been a customer of Clicky for like 14 years. Even when GA was functional, clicky was my daily go to.

I too was frustrated with GA4 but a couple months ago watched a few hours of youtube tutorials and it really demystified GA4. It's quite a powerful tool if you take a couple days and build out the dashboards you'd like to see.

I wish I had this for payment processing.

I too enjoy drinking alcohol and a few years back went dry for 90 days. I was disappointed. If anything, I felt worse. A clean diet and exercise has much more of an impact on how I feel/sleep than abstaining from alcohol.

Eat less, move more, drink in moderation.

The classic way to tell if you're regular or goofy is to close your eyes and have someone shove you from behind, see which foot you try and catch yourself with. Probably works better if you don't know the shove is coming.

Here's an article about a guy who went to 50 different dentists and had some wild diagnoses.

How are you different from Flexpay.io who's been doing this for years?

This is true for salt too.

"Intersalt, a large study published in 1988, compared sodium intake with blood pressure in subjects from 52 international research centers and found no relationship between sodium intake and the prevalence of hypertension. In fact, the population that ate the most salt, about 14 grams a day, had a lower median blood pressure than the population that ate the least, about 7.2 grams a day. In 2004 the Cochrane Collaboration, an international, independent, not-for-profit health care research organization funded in part by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, published a review of 11 salt-reduction trials. Over the long-term, low-salt diets, compared to normal diets, decreased systolic blood pressure (the top number in the blood pressure ratio) in healthy people by 1.1 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by 0.6 mmHg. That is like going from 120/80 to 119/79."

Youtuber Mark Rober started CrunchLabs from his youtube channel.

The top comment in this hn post from a few years ago really stuck with me. I'll paste here.

"Seems an appropriate time to post my favourite piece on news addiction by Charles Simic in the NYRB. "I’m having trouble deciding whether I understand the world better now that I’m in my seventies than I did when I was younger, or whether I’m becoming more and more clueless every day. The truth is somewhere in between, I suspect, but that doesn’t make me rest any easier at night. Like others growing old, I had expected that after everything I had lived through and learned in my life, I would attain a state of Olympian calm and would regard the news of the day with amusement, like a clip from a bad old movie I had seen far too many times. It hasn’t happened to me yet. My late father, in the final year of his life, claimed that he finally found that long-sought serenity by no longer reading the papers and watching television. Even then, and I was thirty years younger than he, I knew what he meant. What devotees of sadomasochism do to their bodies is nothing compared to the torments that those addicted to the news and political commentary inflict on their minds almost every hour of the day."

Edit: Charles Simic is a Serbian-American poet who lived through WWII and saw some really grisly things, some described briefly in the article, hence "after everything I had lived through and learned in my life...""

How’s the weight of it when the phone isn’t docked? Perhaps you could add an insert for a steel plate on the bottom so it has a nice feel when the phone isn’t docked?

It’s only a matter of time before someone creates a Taco Bell dynamic pricing engine / realpage like price fixing service. I’m sure it’s already here considering most of these Taco Bell’s are owned by private equity groups.

Use an agnostic payment vault like spreedly or hyperswitch and send transactions to whichever gateway you’d like. Every processor wants vendor lock-in, terrible for a business. I’m not sure there’s a great option for small ecom businesses with no dev team, though.

I had the same exact experience. I was looking for a Sparrow replacement for years after google bought them and shut it down. I think that's all superhuman needed to do, recreate sparrow.

Funny this popped up on hn. A friend of mine in Montana has been hunting crane lately. Said they’re dubbed “ribeye of the sky”. Can’t wait to try one!

Indeed they would, however, the underlying asset value would drop to allow for market rents. That's the point.

Until they raise their pricing too.

Currently we use a processor agnostic billing engine - sticky.io - but they were purchased by private equity and are doing private equity things. Raising prices, charging per transaction fees, etc. Plus, their software and api is downright terrible but it's what we decided on 12 years ago so here we are.

Vendor lock-in sucks. Open to payment stack suggestions.

It would be interesting to listen to an interview with the Dwolla founder and see why they pivoted from their original idea of replacing card networks / ach and building a new payment network from scratch.

Please tell me you worked with Thomas?! This is essentially what Pluto tv is / was.

The cause is having a tiny computer in your hand all day. It's so glaringly obvious.

Staring at a computer screen for a career will result in a net negative life imo. I meant that as the money will keep you happy enough but you’ll most probably lead a very hampered quality of life.
