chomp··on Feds killed 2014 plan to curb Medicare Advantage overbilling
*killed, not kill. This happened in 2014 and came to light as a part of a current multibillion dollar DoJ lawsuit against United Healthcare.
chomp··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
Your response is a non sequitur; adding on to GP’s comment, countless people have left voluntarily and are easily findable on mastodon and bluesky, refuting GGP’s comment.

chomp··on Earth's Temperature Could Increase by 14C: New Research in Nature Communications
2ppm per year, so 200ish years is accurate, assuming a linear relationship (but is more likely to be slightly exponential, so 150 could be right.)
chomp··on Kansas judge dismisses machine gun case after SCOTUS gun rights ruling
This is why we had 2A case round two in the Supreme Court, because Roberts created a test that is impossible to consistently apply for lower courts. He made it worse, and cases like this are what we get out of it.
chomp··on Homebound: The Long-Term Rise in Time Spent at Home Among U.S. Adults
Tragedy of the commons. A coffee shop near me started sweeping people out after an hour because almost every table and chair was taken by individual people on laptops for hours at a time. It’s unfair to people like me who want a quick cup with someone.
chomp··on Kids Online Safety Act Passes Senate
This is old news, happened a few weeks ago.

I think you’re overestimating HN’s influence here
chomp··on Air Quality Monitors Compared: AirGradient One vs. Airthings
I just got a pi zero w and a adafruit spg30. Not perfect, but good enough, I own the data, and I send it to grafana for alerting.
chomp··on Ditch banks – Go with money market funds and treasuries

It’s a gift in your scenario.
chomp··on Florida's Biggest Insurer Says It Needs to Increase Rates by 93 Percent
Probably meaning to have margins similar to companies in less perilous states.
chomp··on Ferrari exec foils deepfake attempt by asking a question only CEO could answer
Depends on the business context, our main investor at my last company would always call me from random phones, his phone, his girlfriend’s phone, a burner phone of his, think I had like 4 different numbers saved that could be him. If he asked me to do something I always had to verify him, and he’d act like I’m the one being obstinate.
chomp··on American Suburbs Are a Horror Movie and We're the Protagonists
If we urbanistas weren’t subsidizing your lifestyle and you stayed exclusively in your suburb and never went into the city, then we wouldn’t complain.

But highways get built and my taxes get redirected to support your commutes instead of improving our inner core, so complaints will continue.

chomp··on Apple Maps on the web launches in beta
It works fine, and I live in a city with some of the worst traffic in the US.
chomp··on After CrowdStrike, Programmers Deserve Consequences
Ok cool so I’ll start carrying E&O and you’re gonna pay me to carry that insurance right?
chomp··on Panic at the Job Market
Maybe I’m an old, but this thing called a “blog” was very popular a long time ago, where people would have their own slice of internet to write whatever they wanted.
chomp··on Congress accidentally legalized THC six years ago
Yep you’ve been able to buy bud, edibles, all sorts of stuff here in Texas from big name smoke shops, for now.
chomp··on Show HN: Dut – a fast Linux disk usage calculator
GPLv3, you love to see it. Great work.
chomp··on Mac shipments grew 6% year-on-year, outperforming the PC market
Standby/sleep/hibernate is still the biggest problem for me adopting Linux. Wayland weirdness is probably number two. I daily drove Fedora/Cinnamon for close to a decade until my MacBook and I’m going to find it hard to go back.
chomp··on Target to stop accepting personal checks as form of payment
The greater Houston area is over 8000 sq miles, it’s larger than New Jersey. I count 17 Targets in the north west quadrant alone. You're gonna have to be more specific about where in Houston does or does not have a shoplifting problem.
chomp··on Bare metal can come back, says Gartner, citing VMware prices
Also I don’t think the original quote is purely about Linux bare metal because things like vPalos exist. It’s the whole shebang from VMware that people are going to want to get away from.
chomp··on [dead]
Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again.
chomp··on Asus' first Snapdragon X Elite laptop (mostly) blows away the MacBook Air M3
Why are they comparing a fan cooled 12 core laptop with a passive cooled 8 core laptop? This should be versus the MBP.
chomp··on LLMs in the Browser
Most of this looks Chrome-only, so relatively not useful except to deepen their ad-hold on the wider ecosystem.
chomp··on Priced out of home ownership
I bought in the same exact area 10 years ago, this house was over 200k cheaper than it is now. There’s no way I’d be able to afford modern prices.
chomp··on Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense"
By the time I pick my kids up from preK and kinder, it’s 5:00pm. Swinging by the drive though, I can have the kids in chairs eating by 5:20. Cooking a dead simple meal like spaghetti, we’re not eating until closer to 5:45, because of overhead in getting everyone in the house and situated to where I can focus on cooking while they play. It’s even worse if they have bad days, we’re eating closer to 6:00pm.

Nothing wrong with eating later, in fact we prefer it because fast food is kinda crap and I don’t really like them eating processed foods. But it definitely saves time, not to mention on the cleanup side too.

And no, can’t really multitask during the weekdays because the timing is so tight. I can do dishes as I go but that’s the limit because the kids start screaming at each other that their feet are touching or whatever the drama of the day is…

chomp··on KeePassXC Debian maintainer has removed all network features
Seems like a positive change to me.
chomp··on Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid
I’m pretty sure you can’t just up and toss it on eBay like the article says, the supercomputer is subject to export controls.
