Show HN: Morning Brief – Track any topic on HN, Reddit and othershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29218482TL:DR - https://morningbrief.ai/setupHi, HN --We're two indie cofounders who bootstrapped a new product to scratch our own itch: there's so much great content out there, but it's hard to find it. Sites like HN serve us like-minded people, but there are many more topics in other non-HN niches.Our idea is this: an email you get once a day, filled with only top articles (posted to HN, Reddit, etc) that match your specific interests. You can specify which interests, and how many links you want. Ranked by our signal score.To start, we built an ingestion engine. In the first few weeks we only processed HN posts (1k/day) then we added Reddit posts (1m/day) then we added some other sites like Indie Hackers and relevant Twitter accounts.Then we added semantic tagging. To start we used a generalized tagging service, but then quickly realized we needed to build our own layer because they don't understand many of the current trendy topics.Next up we wanted to add thumbnails to worthy articles (aboNov 14, 2021 5:00 PM

Ask HN: Where to go as a disillusioned designer?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29030734Longtime reader using a throwaway. Looking for thoughts on my design career in tech. (Sorry for how long this is and if any of this sounds self-pitying—I struggle with that attitude, but I also don't think that's the only factor in my situation.)I started designing and building websites in 1999, when I was 11, and like some of you, I don't entirely love the course the web and tech in general have taken since then. I feel things have become overdesigned, overcomplicated, overly precious, and bloated.I like lightweight websites and fast native apps with OS GUIs and conventions. If I am going to design in the tech or tech-adjacent space, these are the things I want to work on. But instead every job opportunity I find is to work on a proprietary branded design system for a web app hell-bent on capturing and disempowering customers by dumbing things down as much as possible through obfuscation, abstraction, and infantilizing copy and aesthetics. I often find myself at odds with other designOct 28, 2021 7:40 PM

Ask HN: Help extract address lookup call from Spectrum's website?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28971734I noticed when I go to Spectrum's opt-out page (https://www.spectrum.com/policies/your-privacy-rights-opt-out) it fetches my exact address in the background (down to the apartment number) before I've filled anything in. In Chrome or Firefox you can just hit F12 and choose the "Network" tab before loading the site, scroll halfway down to click on the 'tnt.js?userProfile=' request, and look at the "Response" data to see your address.Inconveniently, it doesn't fill in the form to save customers' some unnecessary typing. I would like to turn this into a more general lookup service, making a few requests in a command-line python program instead of opening a browser, but I'm having trouble figuring out what sequence of requests, headers, and post data is needed to get it to work in isolation. Nothing malicious here, it would just help to know when remote employees have moved and forgotten to update HR.It seems it first does a basic GeoIP request to (https://www.spectrum.com/bin/spectrum/resiOct 23, 2021 8:02 PM

She very rarely drinks alcohol, like once every 5 years, has no history of substance abuse, and according to blood screens her liver-values are fine with no indication of the liver being affected at all.When our second child was born, 1,5 years ago, it was done via an emergency c-section, because of a sudden inner bleeding. Mother and child luckily survived. We found out the bleeding was caused by a "thing" bursting.
