I think the context is just mass international travel due to the US hosting the World Cup, no?

H1B is considered “dual intent”

An AI slop pattern so widespread it’s now referred to as “it’s not pee pee it’s poo poo”.

It's not just a widespread pattern –––––––––––––––– it's a sign of things to come.

You didn't just nail it ------------ you cut to the core of the issue.

I haven't heard that—that's good.

Thank you, this was excellent! From McMansions, to F1, to eroticism the author has quite the range!

If you mean the "consumer ecosystem", then Gemini 3 should be available as an API through Google's AI Vertex platform. If you don't even want a Google Cloud account, then I think the answer is no unless they announce a partnership with an inference cloud like cerebras.

Then white plays 1 stone, capturing all the black stones at once, essentially resetting the game with a 360 points lead.

(black goes first, white has Komi, so really a 260+komi points lead)

White cannot play on the last empty point as this would be suicide, which is prevented by the (assumed) superko rule forbidding repetition of the empty position.

IIRC technically there's no such thing as a "renewal". It's just a new application that bypasses the lottery. So given the low level of thought that goes into these EOs, the answer is almost certainly "yes"...

I was wrong. They’re attaching the fee to the lottery, somehow.

Which would make MCP registries the new App Stores?

At the very least, the new [extension stores](https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions). I think the point here is that Agents could redefine how we interact with the internet, even if they don't change the internet itself.

ChatGPT has their [GPTs](https://chatgpt.com/gpts) marketplace, which could be considered an app store, but I'm not sure if it'll take off quite like Google Play or Apple's App Store.

This is neat. I wonder what the delta is between this and NextDNS (who funds/powers the non-profit). I imagine NextDNS blocks a superset of the baseline of dangerous domains blocked by dns0.eu? Is the main addition primarily advertising and analytics related?

edit: another key addition by NextDNS is a global infra footprint, rather than just in the EU. Oh it looks like there’s no anycast with the non-profit as well? And you have to pick your local resolver. I guess that makes sense because the main value prop of NextDNS (to me) is when I’m traveling and a local pi-hole won’t suffice.

I thought the two sounded similar, then I saw at the bottom they both have come from the same two founders. Nice to have a straightforward alternative to NextDNS to recommend to relatives.

Comment from `amanchanda`, i.e. the OP.

Nice hustle writing an Ask HN post to then plug your own product, but you have to make sure to respond to questions with your _other_ account `nicooo`. ;)

That was in response to someone saying:

> Find a way to make it free to start.

FWIW I looked at all the posts on this thread from `amanchanda` and `nicooo`, and didn't see any obvious reason to think they were the same person.
