Why is the DOJ investigating Andreessen Horowitz’s board seats?https://techcrunch.com/video/why-is-the-doj-investigating-andreessen-horowitzs-board-seats/Andreessen Horowitz has two partners sitting on the boards of companies that now compete with each other: Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran. Nothing too scandalous on the surface, except the Department of Justice has reportedly been investigating the arrangement for almost a year, dusting off a 112-year-old antitrust law that’s rarely used against VCs. Board conflicts aren’t exactly new, and these companies weren’t necessarily direct competitors when a16z first invested […]

Ask HN: Do teams really need to use GitHub?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49386514Enterprises can self-host, sure. Open source projects uses it for the the network effects of GitHub. But why does a small software team need to use GitHub?I understand the ecosystem argument. Once you've got your repos, CI/CD, PRs, code reviews, packages, integrations, etc. all wired into GitHub, moving everything is a pain. But Git itself is distributed, and GitHub has a pretty open plugin/integration system. There are also perfectly capable alternatives like GitLab, Bitbucket, Forgejo, Gitea, SourceHut, etc.So what is the actual thing that makes a 10–20 person software company stick with GitHub? Is it mostly switching costs? The ecosystem? Developer familiarity? Something else? And if you were to start a project today, would you still go with GitHub?And a slightly more personal question.I've had a rough idea for what a new GitHub could look like if it were built specifically for software that is increasingly being written by AI agents, and specifically for companies rather than open-

Show HN: For learners who can understand English but freeze when speakinghttps://nattly.mathswariz.uk/Many intermediate learners can understand native English seamlessly, but freeze or revert to clunky, direct translations when forced to speak. Flashcards teach you to recognize words on a screen; they don't teach your brain to produce natural phrases under conversational pressure.To bridge the gao between language recognition and production I have rebuilt Nattly around a four-step loop:Meaning → Attempt → Native Alternatives → ReuseHow it works in practice:Instead of testing vocabulary isolation (“What does held up mean?”), Nattly puts you in a scenario:The Situation: Your friend asks: why you were late?Your Attempt: You answer using whatever words come to mind first.Native Alternatives: The app exposes natural ways a native British speaker would express that exact thought:"The bus held me up.""I got held up by the bus.""The bus was running late."Contextual Reuse: Those constructions reappear later in fresh, non-repetitive scenarios where they make sense contextually.https://nattly.mat

Show HN: Check if any of the $656M in unclaimed royalties at The MLC is yourshttps://pub.doub.ly/Hi HN, I built this. Quick background on why it exists:When music is streamed on digital streaming platforms (think Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora), there are two separate royalty streams: one for the recording, paid through your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, CDBaby), and one for the underlying work (generally known as publishing). The work side's mechanical royalties are collected by The MLC, a nonprofit that was created by the 2018 Music Modernization Act (MMA). If you haven't registered your songs with The MLC, there are issues with your metadata, or about half a dozen other reasons, that money will never reach you, it just collects in a big pile we call the "black box".That pile is big. The MLC's own dashboard currently shows over $656M is held (themlc.com/blanket-royalties), and the biggest problem is the MMA dictates that The MLC cannot hold that money indefinitely. At some point, by law, The MLC must distribute this big pile of cash, and since they don't know who it's suppose
