The concept of AI music is extremely polarizing. One friend I played it for got visibly angry. Oddly none of the anti-‘s were musicians themselves.

I have HH and donate regularly with Vitalant, who has a monopoly on donations in Colorado. When I was originally diagnosed 20+ years ago, I had a prescription and they discarded the blood. After some research I decided to monitor my own iron levels and decide myself when to donate. Without a prescription, they are able to use the blood.

This is absolutely correct; not sure why you are being downvoted. TPOs are often issued without the targeted party being contacted or having a chance to defend themselves. PPOs tried in family court do not have a “reasonable doubt” requirement; they are regularly granted without substantive evidence or signs of physical abuse. No judge wants to read about somebody being killed after they denied the PO.

I just played a short campaign set in the Dresden Files universe. I started in 5e and asked ChatGPT to recommend a more appropriate system. It recommended Fate so I started over with that. GPT walked me through a different setup without stats and DM’ed a decent adventure. It understood nuances of how I used spells and let me capture a cult leader, imprison them and interrogate them to reveal more of the story.

A year ago, my 9 year old daughter begged me to watch a video from her favorite YouTuber. It was the Great Potato War. We watched all three parts and I became an instant Techno fan. It also led to me playing Hypixel with her for many many hours.

I just bought a Telluride on Monday and love it. It is the highest ranked car on Consumer Reports across all vehicle types. I don't think this is an indicator of a company in trouble.

My last 3 cars were Teslas.

Tesla has been shipping cars with integrated self-driving hardware for years. Every car is transmitting data back to Tesla. They have been turning on additional self-driving features every few months for years.

Tesla is doing a limited beta of full self driving now which will be widely expanded in just a few months. I don’t understand how anybody but Tesla is poised to have self driving cars in the near future.

FinFolio | Data Wrangler | Denver, CO | Remote | 5am EST Start

FinFolio simplifies wealth management!

[COVID-19: We went fully remote when COVID hit and aren't going back.]

Help us manage our early-morning data imports. This requires a diverse technical skill set including a little bit of SQL, Regex, Excel, DOS, PowerShell, C#, and other data-related tools. You will grind away at automating our existing processes and manually run any steps that have not been automated.

This is a mostly-entry-level role and you will learn a lot on the job. We train our data team in SQL, C# and similar technologies. We are about to promote one of our data wranglers into a development role and are seeking a replacement.

Email me at matt abar at finfolio dot com and mention you saw this on YC. I am the founder and CEO. Thanks!

I am teaching my daughters to code. (10y and 7y) They are taking classes remotely and all the extracurricular activities are cancelled. I am also working from home. This is a unique opportunity that I may never have with them again.

Yesterday my oldest started to use the Roblox editor. I am researching Roblox training courses (would love some suggestions). An hour ago I showed her Zork and introduced her to Inform. (http://inform7.com/)

She is coding as I type this. :-)

FinFolio | ETL Data Engineer | Denver, CO | REMOTE | Full-time

FYI we were just funded are are also hiring Operations, Support, Onboarding and other non-dev fintech roles.

I have a variant on this. I start with a bullet-list of functionality I think I’ll need. Then I write one test each for items that could impact my architectural choices. Once I finish that first pass I go back and flesh out each item with multiple tests as necessary.

Flushing out the architecture early is the trickiest part for me. Occasionally I miss a seemingly-simple feature that ends up requiring an architecture change. If this happens late in the process, I may pay for the oversight with hours of refactoring.

Congratulations to everybody involved! One of my earliest memories is watching the Challenger launch in my school auditorium. I'm glad my daughters can have the same experience with a much more inspiring conclusion.
