Same here in metro Atlanta. My wife has some service (intermittent texts, has internet, but can't receive incoming calls) but I have SOS mode (with same model iPhone 16 pro).
This is the first time we've had a major outage affect our VZW service, and we've been with them for over 10 years.
I shouldn't be, but I was shocked at how painful it is to lose our connection while out running errands.
Same thing happened to my wife. My phone was fine but she was worried something had happened to hers as it was SOS only. I had her go to the Verizon store which is where they told her about the outage.
I have an autoimmune disease mentioned in the article. In looking through a group of which I am member I came across this interesting FDA alert about CAR-T therapy from a few weeks ago...
This is quite possibly due to most of these patients already receiving DNA-damaging chemo before CAR-T therapy. It also represents only 20 cases out of tens of thousands of doses.
myasthenia gravis patients already get chemo therapy to destroy their immune cells as part of the infusion protocols. That is a treatment and is not curative. If CAR-T works on MG, then it’s not the chemo that’s doing it.
I've recently read Dr. Peter Attia's book, "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity" and he talks about the failures of our modern medical system when it comes to preventing (or at least delaying) disease instead of treating disease once it is present.
Cancer is one of what he refers to as the "Four Horsemen" (the chronic diseases of aging - cancer, heart disease, metabolic dysfunction and metabolic syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases).
His book focuses on a number of changes we can make to reduce our risk of these chronic diseases of aging, one of which is exercise and physical fitness.
I would highly recommend the book to anyone interested in living not only a longer life, but a more enjoyable life in old age.
I just hit MicroCenter with my daughter to build a RetroPie this weekend. They would only sell one per household per day (this was in Georgia). I would've bought a second if it were allowed.
I identify with your comment. I run a SaaS product that has been around since 1998, but it isn't even listed in Crunchbase, which this article uses as a reference for the number of SaaS products out there. Also, "Software as a Service" wasn't even a phrase when we started out... even "Application Service Provider" wasn't really prevalent at first.
I thought a balance would be great, but neither of my kids liked the balance bike we bought. They rode with training wheels for quite a while.
What got them riding without training wheels was learning to ride Razor scooters. One afternoon when I saw them both riding sweeping S curves on their scooters, I took their training wheels off. At 6 and 7 1/2 yrs, they when from total terror on their bikes to riding comfortably in a few hours. It only took a few rides with me running alongside holding on (continually holding on less each time).
I have a similar domain with a 9 character URL that I have been running (wow - I had to look it up!) for 16 years for my own use and for my clients. I have some ddns clients that use it to update their DNS records when their IP changes.
I won't be advertising it here on HN any time soon, though, since it would probably fall over from the traffic. :)
My Atmos receiver required calibration of the speaker placement from multiple locations within my listening area. I'm running a 7.1.4 setup (7 surrounds, 1 subwoofer, and 4 overhead channels). I've done a lot of reading about Atmos as well; I'm fairly certain it isn't premixed channels. My ears also agree - Atmos feels incredibly immersive.
If you're in the US, I've had good luck buying Aeron chairs used on craigslist (in the $200-$250 range). I would also say check FaceBook marketplace (I've found some good things there - though not chairs). Finally, as someone else also mentioned, I have the ErgoChair 2 ( https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair ). I don't care about color, so I bought the green one which was $20 cheaper.
This price for an Aeron is very good -- but in my metro (LA), this kind of price is not attainable, so don't wait for it. I paid around $450 about 10 years ago.
In the state of Georgia, I'd definitely call someone with a $700k mortgage wealthy. I'm in an affluent suburb north of Atlanta and I'd probably be showing some bias if I didn't consider myself to be wealthy in a $400k house. If I read it correctly, the example given in the article was for a refinance for a lower rate, and while that would be nice, it's not as likely to be a necessity. I've considered a refi, but as a small business owner I'm not sure I'd qualify in the current climate (even though my software company is still making money).
Agreed on the HN demographic. I have lived in the NYC metro area and felt the pain of expensive housing, and I would only do it again if I met your definition of rich.
