I'm building a coupon matchup aggregator for my mom, who knows her way around digital coupon clipping and rebate programs like ibotta, but struggles with juggling all the coupon bloggers that she follows

I'm working on the filtering logic so she more easily find the posts she cares about

Oh deer... I use a laptop stand for my posture so I'm not hunched over. It's trickier when traveling but I recently discovered collapsible stands that I can bring with me

I think you were unaware, but light sweet crude is a term referring to a type of crude oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_crude_oil

So, a search engine, then!

At my former company, they used a product to search across Google docs, confluence docs, help desk tickets, Amy source of tickets and documents they could get their hands on. It was actually quite useful!

I use apagard premio, came across it while doing research a couple of years ago (4-5) on nano hydroxyapatite. I've never really had problems with my adult teeth and I continue to not have problems, so at the very least, in my case, is not any worse than fluoride toothpaste. My dentist loves my teeth :D she told me whatever I'm doing, don't change a single thing.

I was laid off a month ago, senior frontend engineer. I've reached out to my network and have been talking to various startups, but it seems like most of the bigger companies do not want to bite.

Compounding that is my desire to keep working remotely, or somewhere local to the DC metro area, so many of the same opportunities that would be available to me in the Bay area, had I remained there, are closed to me, because they're using a hybrid model.

I'm not in much of a rush, and I'm hopeful that I'll find interesting work with some startup.

Could an employee receive severance and still be able to sue to determine if there was a WARN act violation or discrimination of federally protected classes?

I was laid off, along with many of my remote coworkers, and coworkers in satellite offices. The CTO was internally heard saying that he believed remote does not work for eng.

That's so great to hear!

I went to high school with someone who took a path like yours - his parents were not sure about his ability to live a comfortable life going into pro Dota. But I'm so glad you folks are able to do what you love and make a good living.

Disclaimer: Early user of Uprise, signed up after I heard about them from this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31370775

I'm a big fan of Uprise as a concept - financial literacy isn't something that is taught in schools in the US, but it really should be.

More on topic to the thread: As context, I'm interested in buying a house so I have the money for the down payment held with VMFXX for the moment. What other ways could I consider holding a sum of money in a relatively liquid way?

But what are the side effects of blocking a response causing inflammation, which was meant to signal that repairs are needed in lung tissue?

Could it be the heat from your light? What kind of bulb do you use?

Out of curiosity, what are you doing with the light off? Just sitting in the dark?

Having used to work at Capital One within Shared Tech, I worked with a lot of really brilliant engineers who could easily have been working at FAANG. That being said, they didn't pay as well as FAANG so a lot of us moved on.

I'm not surprised at all by this move, there's a lot of solutions at Capital One that can be monetized. The company is so large that there's redundant solutions concurrently developed by different teams, inevitably someone was going to work the bureaucracy to start selling SaaS

I believe blocking a user via Facebook messenger presents an option to defriend the user as well.

It's interesting to note that the effect of some good being free holds its power if we know that the good is not usually free.

It would be interesting if the article had more research on what the emotions of users when they come across a paywall. For example, I get irrationally upset when I see a paywall, even though I logically know that content writers deserve to be paid.

The fact that less than 20% of Americans will pay for news almost certainly makes the subscriptions more expensive for the percentage of users who will actually pay. Does the price affect how upset someone gets? I know for me, I don't even look at the price, I never intended on paying since I've been conditioned to expect articles to be free.

What's shocking is that similarity in values don't seem to be a predictor of happiness in a relationship.

Could it be that for those in relationships with differences, if the difference were significant enough, they merely wouldn't be in a relationship at all, and wouldn't be in the sample data?

For any given community, seeing creators that look like themselves is extremely empowering. It inspires not only others who are similar to them to find the courage to create, but provides the community with support - that there are people out there similar to them, and is foundational for the next generation of creators. Bravo!
