This is a hard one for me. My wife and I want/need a good plan. One that doesn't require us to get referrals, and has good coverage for medication. I would happily pay for this plan, but I can't seem to find one on my own. No

How so? In Alabama you cannot qualify for medicaid unless you are a "needy child, parent, caregiver, pregnant woman, or elderly/disabled resident". Meaning you can't qualify just for being low income. While Amazon does p

So you learned "there are six continents"? That's really interesting. Growing up in the US, we always learned it as seven. I never really thought about that as something that was taught differently based on location. (Unfortu

If I had to guess, the Fidelity Active Trader Pro app. It's a pretty handy app, that seems to be constantly up to date, but it's garbage on Mac, so I setup a PC laptop next to my main setup so I can have it running. Still a bit fi

For your entire life? IDK about you but I'm ok with getting a common cold or the flu once every few years to live a normal life.

Wow. Downvoted to negative for politely correcting pronoun usage. Not sure what I should've expected given the average user of HN.

Will be interesting to see what happens to the GOP over the next two years. I'm thinking there could be a split.

I read that photos of drivers licenses and other "official" cards were leaked. I believe these were used for proving who you were on the app. I'm not sure if these were publicly shared, or shared with admins who then verified

Yeah, that's my issue. I have a pair of Anker in-ears (Liberty Pro 2) for working out and they're great for that. When it comes to being at my desk during work, seamless switching is what I need.

Good to know! However, I already have a pair of wireless earbuds for working out. I'm in the market for a pair of over-ear headphones with these feature. If the tech exists for in-ears though, hopefully it will/does exist in over-

Right. Lots of stuff works with non-Mac hardware. Lots of stuff doesn't work with Mac hardware. My laptop is from my job (MBP), and I have an iPhone to keep in sync with my wife. Hence my specific question.

PopSocket has already confirmed they're working on something. This will be awesome for those of us who don't use wireless charging because of our popsockets.

Have you tried with an iPhone? Legit curious as I'm about to switch from a Pixel 2XL. I didn't think I'd like the giant trackpad on my MBP, but Apple does a good job with rejection about 99.9% of the time.
