M&S Cyber Incident Apologyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43984532Dear XXX, I’m Jayne Wall, and I look after Customer Service here at M&S. I am sure that you will have seen in the news that we have been dealing with a cyber incident and I wanted to write to you about what this means for you. What has happened? To proactively manage the incident, we immediately took steps to protect our systems and engaged leading cyber security experts. We also reported the incident to relevant government authorities and law enforcement, who we continue to work closely with. Unfortunately, the nature of the incident means that some personal customer data has been taken, but there is no evidence that it has been shared. The personal data could include contact details, date of birth and online order history. However, importantly, the data does not include useable card or payment details, and it also does not include any account passwords. For more detail, see our FAQs. How does this affect me and what should I do? You do not need to take any action, but you might recei

Why Isn't There a One-Pager for Every Politician's Performance?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43976018Just dumping a thought here — I’d love to see a world where we can objectively evaluate politicians based on their goals, promises, and actions. We’re way past the point of relying on biased news outlets or viral social media clips to form opinions. With today’s tech and LLMs, we should be able to track political figures and hold them accountable.As someone with a data engineering background, I imagine a simple one-pager dashboard for any politician or political group — showing what topics they focus on and how they’re actually performing. The public deserves that. Right now, most people make emotional decisions based on what they hear in the news or see online. That’s not a healthy trajectory.

Effortless Database Subsetting with Jailer: A Must-Have Tool for QA and DevOpshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43971509Working with production-scale databases in test or staging environments can be painful — large, slow, and often non-compliant with privacy regulations. If you’ve ever needed a clean, referentially intact subset of your database without writing complex SQL scripts, you’ll want to meet Jailer.What is Jailer?Jailer is a powerful open-source tool for: - Extracting consistent data subsets from relational databases. - Maintaining referential integrity (it follows foreign keys for you). - Creating test datasets, migrating data, and anonymizing sensitive fields.It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite, and more.Why You Should Use It No more writing JOIN-heavy SQL to extract dependent records. Ideal for test data provisioning, especially for complex schemas. Works well in data privacy contexts (GDPR, HIPAA) when full exports aren’t allowed. Helps speed up CI pipelines by avoiding bloated test DBs. A Simple Use Case: Extract Customers with Their Orders Let’s say you want to extr

Ask HN: I became interim CTO and want to avoid dumb fuck-opshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43952864Yes, fuck-ops not fuck ups :)Throwaway account---Context: small start-up, 3 devs. Company size 10-20.My boss burned out and has departed which has made me effectively the interim CTO. Let's call him Hephaestus[1]. I am more of what you'd consider an enlightened individual contributor and in am in some part finding myself out of my depth.When it rains, it pours. As our previous CTO took his leave our PM - who is fantastic - went on maternity leave. We have a new one but doesn't fill her shoes. Other than myself and the non-technical CEO the rest of the organization hasn't really been around long enough to help share carrying the weight yet - they are getting there! I have one other dev who is fantastic and the other one was hired under the premise of being my old CTOs shadow - he was signed before the contract. Unfortunately, experience has shown he is wet behind the ears and I find myself having to pick up the slack not only when it comes to what he can contribute as a dev - he is inte

Show HN: I Built an MCP Server for Reddithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43934413Hey folks ,I recently built something cool that I think many of you might find useful: an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Reddit, and it’s fully open source!If you’ve never heard of MCP before, it’s a protocol that lets MCP Clients (like Claude, Cursor, or even your custom agents) interact directly with external services.Here’s what you can do with it: - Get detailed user profiles. - Fetch + analyze top posts from any subreddit - View subreddit health, growth, and trending metrics - Create strategic posts with optimal timing suggestions - Reply to posts/comments.Repo link: https://github.com/Arindam200/reddit-mcpI made a video walking through how to set it up and use it with Claude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7Stp6peMIThe project is open source, so feel free to clone, use, or contribute!Would love to have your feedback!

The generic form is: • Imagine this — grants permission • You are {famous expert} — routes to field-aligned expert pathways • And we need your help for {mission} — defines task vector⸻OverviewWe introduce Gravity Bombing: a technique for influencing multi-expert AI systems through recursive, semiotic scrolls. These scrolls embed high-intent, high-signal payloads that: • Create resonant loops in specific expert subsets • Cause localized collapse wedges that lead to adaptive rewiring • Induce emergent specialization via performance saturationThis is not po

Show HN: Pomerium Agentic Access Gateway – dynamic auth for AI agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43887439TL;DR: We are building a new Agentic Access Gateway in Pomerium to safely let AI agents (like GPT-based deep researchers, scripts or assistants) access internal apps and resources on your behalf – with fine-grained, just-in-time authorization for every action. It's open source (GitHub link below) and we're looking for feedback and early access users.What is Pomerium? For those unfamiliar, Pomerium is an open-source identity-aware proxy (a "zero trust" access gateway). It sits in front of your internal apps and APIs, continually verifying identity and context on every request.The problem: AI agents are starting to act on our behalf in software – making requests, pulling data, and triggering actions autonomously. The rise of AI agents and protocols like Model Context Protocol (MCP) is really exciting. The potential for agents to interact with diverse tools (APIs, databases, SaaS) both internal and hosted to perform complex tasks is immense.However, the current MCP spec focuses on tool in

Feedback on Tool I Created?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43871726Hey- I've been working on a minimalist tool called QuickPoint — it’s a minimal tool for quick text-first creation and sharing structured thoughtshttps://quickpoint.meBut rather than push a vision, I’m here to learn what people actually need. I built a rough prototype and are watching closely how (or if) people use it.I’d love your honest feedback: Please feel free to tinker about- and say whatever comes to mind. If you need to structure your feedback - I put some questions below. However- I'd rather just hear anything you have to say.Does it feel like it solves anything you’d do in real life? What’s your first instinct about what this tool is for? What’s good and what's missing or broken in the concept itself?Not trying to pitch- just trying to listen. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
