Comment Theatres need to lean into the experience (Score 1) 152

It is not rocket science

- Reduce prices on weeknights to get people in the door.

- When things feel over-priced, it greatly harms the experience and results in less return visits. Reduce margins on snacks. The prices are insane right now and literally out of reach for many families. Two parents and their kids with basic popcorn are looking at like $150+ to see a movie right now in some markets it is INSANE. If prices were more reasonable, then a lot more people would go and you'd make it up on volume, more importantly they would leave with a POSITIVE experience.

- Figure out other ways to lean into the experience. Partner with restaurants to offer "Dinner and a movie", and make the showtime conducent to that promotion (see next suggestion)

- Air family movies at times that make sense for families. I can not even count how many times we have not gone to the movies because the only options are either too early or too late. People in North America eat dinner between 5 and 7, movie theatres should be smart enough to plan around this.

Comment Security concerns my butthole (Score 4, Informative) 183

The fact that they reference a bunch of past breaches and supply chain attacks - but give absolutely zero explanation about how said attacks would be prevented by US manufacturers, nor any explanation of additional cybersecurity controls they will mandate on them - tells you everything you need to know about this.

This is about protectionism, not cybersecurity.

If it had to do with cybersecurity, then a set of objective evaluation criteria could be applied to ANY router, regardless of origin.

Their current ARR growth disputes your statement. https://www.saastr.com/anthrop...

Also, simple logic disputes your statement. $200 / month is total peanuts compared to a human.

They could charge $5000 / month or higher for Claude Code Max and businesses would still pay for it, that is how good it is.

Comment "HIPAA Compliant" means nothing (Score 1) 88

Your statement illustrates a misunderstanding of what HIPAA even requires.

HIPPA is not a compliance program. It is a law and set of regulations. There is no such thing as a way to "certify" software as being "HIPAA Compliant" because it is a meaningless term.

To be "HIPAA compliant", the entire software + solution stack needs to comply with the regulations.

In this case, he most likely made a dashboard that redacted PII from the eyes of consumers except on a need-to-know basis - because that is the heart of HIPAA. There is no need to inspect the code to illustrate this kind of "compliance", you look at the solution and what it provides.

Comment Make something that actually does what people want (Score 1) 111

Look at the insane virality and popularity of OpenMolt / MoltBot, which was made by a hobbyist over a few weekends. Yes it has security issues - but if it was actually built and provided by a company like Microsoft or Google, they could easily address those.

Why is it so popular? Because it is an AI assistant that can actually do stuff, and is useful, as opposed to the stupidity of having AI in a text editor mostly used as a cliipboard cache..

Microsoft needs better product managers. The current slate seems to have no sweet clue what people actually want out of AI.
