Apparently they were already offering 50% extra limits. 150% -> 125% 25÷150 = .1667 That's how they arrived at 17%. https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2093742321473065266

Sad that people can’t see past their ideological bubbles. Tech spaces used to be dominated by people who saw free speech as an imperative. Now their own political biases have them supporting censorship. https://www.thetimes.com&#

Your choice of words reveals a lot. Don't manipulate words to serve your conclusion. They are not "thugs". They are federal officers. ICE did not behave "lawlessly". They are upholding federal law. In fact, it was B

Obstructing a federal officer. Watch the video. Any average citizen would be arrested and detained. https://x.com/w_terrence/status/1935025940075266435

I feel like hackernews has been getting astroturfed by the same people that ruined reddit. Over the past few months, there have been increasingly one sided political stories and comments. It's a shame.

It's not just choice but access. The access to see a specialist without waiting months. The access to see a different provider if you don't like your care. The access to pay cash for services. Choice is also underrated. Those same

I am a physician, and I am also entitled to my own opinions. You can take a moral highground if your want. But, I feel I know more about healthcare than most people on this public forum. I tend to deal in practicality. And where do you see

Going to leave a link here to a reddit thread I ran across recently for the curious. https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1cn8dy8/what... Look at how many times NHS is referenced and how it is

I agree. It's not hard to make an account to "lurk". I'm sure most of those complaining have accounts at various other social media websites. It may cost some privacy, but I find the content more than worthwhile. There i

"Search operators" as a term seems well established.

This is simply not true. Healthcare still follows the basic supply/demand curve, and demand is at record levels. It's just as capitalist as much of the rest of the economy. State regulations regarding professional licensure do ser

I don't know why some people on hackernews have such a bias for deriding physicians. If you don't like the care you get, go somewhere else and get another opinion. Of course the bell curve of probabilities exist in medicine...just

Pretty sure FTX was not a US corporation and catered to non-US customers. FTX.us, which was a minor branch that catered to US customers, was thought to be relatively solvent but ultimately collapsed like most things associated with FTX. Not

Just leaving some links here since not everyone is aware. You can restore the Windows 11 Taskbar to a more normal state. First, remove the Win11 changes with ExplorerPatcher. Then, install openshell. It's unfortunate how much the windo

They are choosing to place money in the bank. This is a risk in and of itself. Companies with treasury departments already know this. They can put money in money market funds, CDARs, cash sweeps, or any other vehicle to protect their cash.

No, your money should not have zero risk. There is always risk in the system. The FDIC was created as an insurance for this specific risk hence the name (Federal DEPOSIT INSURANCE Corporation). This was mainly to help the common person when

I understand most of your questions may be rhetorical, but I'll try to clarify some aspects. The FDIC insurance coverage limit is an arbitrary number. It was enacted during the era of the Great Depression to protect the common people&#

You have a big misunderstanding just like the David Sacks and the rest who feel depositors are wholly innocent. Most everyone involved in finance knows that banks treat 'depositors' as creditors. Banks view deposits as a liability
