<p>So, one of the things I have personally seen is where these companies have in-house counsel and then CC that person on emails that could be problematic if they were ever required to be produced in discovery. Then if something does happen, it is easy to claim privilege on these emails and hide what are essentially non-legal related emails from lawsuits. There is flimsy cover of keeping counsel informed so they can provide legal guidance if needed, but that essentially undermines the legal process during a lawsuit as the very emails verifying a plaintiff's claim may be in these privileged emails, or maybe not, but without seeing them only the company and their legal teams knows.<p>Yes, this is unethical and also can lead to things like we see in this case where the judge will pierce privilege because it was being abused. But......unless you can prove that is what is going on in the emails, judges are very reticent to pierce privilege.</p>

<p>What if some people's hunger is louder than others? What if your expended willpower to not overeat is a lot less than what is required by others?<p>I ask these as that is what the GLP-1's are showing. They change the hunger feeling and it might just be that you and others got lucky with a lower hunger feeling than others. There is no objective measure of food noise, but I think we all need to be open to the possibility that the food noise is different for different people and its not all willpower or laziness.</p>

<p>The thing that he doesn't mention is that as soon as they do something legislatively and announce routes there, etc.....well Google just won't crawl those sites. It turns into a game of whether you would like 0 traffic from Google, or allow them to use your content both for search results and AI summaries.<p>Google is the bringer of traffic and if you want it, then you play by their rules. I don't like that the web is in that position, but here we are.</p>

<p>Lots of good things to investigate already in the thread. I would throw in the potential for an anycast routing issue. TCP is stateful and if there is asymmetric routing, maybe the packets are coming from one anycast device, but the returning packets are routing to a different one.<p>Would suspect some of the other responses first though, but if they don't help this could be a possibility if they are using anycast.</p>

<p>Latest AT&T Statement: “Our network teams took immediate action and so far three-quarters of our network has been restored,” the company said. “We are working as quickly as possible to restore service to remaining customers.”<p>Still down for me though.</p>

<p>Good thought, but switching to LTE only didn't work. Same result of ending up in SOS only. Cellular over wifi works perfectly fine though. Wish we could count on better post mortems from the phone companies, but I'm not holding my breath for it.</p>

<p>Some of our staff are reporting similar where their partner's phone has service and their's doesn't. Both on same AT&T family plan.<p>So the radio bands may play into it although I would think with latest iPhones, they can use any of the bands from AT&T although I could be wrong.</p>

<p>It helps you eat at a caloric deficit. I wouldn't say that is starving yourself. It is basically the same mechanism for how any weight loss would work. Less calories consumed versus burned on a daily basis.<p>There are additional mechanisms that are still being studied, but at minimum it is helping people to eat at a level that supports weight loss.</p>

<p>Yes, I know they do some form of detection on this for up/down votes, but flagging is supposed to be for content that violates rules, so I am curious if they handle it similarly. It doesn't really help you boost content, but can sure be used to suppress content if not tracked as flagging seems to significantly reduce visibility of a post.</p>

<p>How do you keep user flags from being used as a way to squash articles on a particular topic before they have had the chance to be exposed to the wider HN community?<p>Meaning if someone were to theoretically get a real time feed of HN submissions, and flagged articles that they didn't want seen as well as messaging a group of friends to do the same thing. Do you have protections for this type of behavior that would prevent this person from having undue influence on what can and cannot have a chance at being seen by others?</p>

<p>Except when it's not. If you don't think groups within organizations all message each other to quickly flag posts that are negative towards them, then you may be looking through this with an idealistic lens that hasn't been shattered yet.<p>I'm not denying your premise that yes sometimes independent people with no coordination, all flag an article. That is how the system should work. But there are also articles that will quickly get flagged through coordination of interested parties.<p>Hacker News has a lot more power than many think in terms of tastemaking in the tech industry. So there is a lot of motivation and benefit for people to manipulate its functionality to either boost or protect their business.</p>

<p>Long overdue transparency. Sometimes these are innocuous or warranted removals, but there is also an element of protectionism at play. And that may not even be due to mod actions, but blocks of users who all flag articles to get them pushed to no mans land.<p>There are companies who if you submit a negative post about, within short order the post is pushed out of view of the top pages.</p>

<p>While I agree on your points of the benefits, the one place who is not advocating for them is insurance. People switch insurance frequently, so there is no benefit to help this year what causes a significant disease to their customer in 10 years as that benefit will likely acrue to some other insurance company.<p>The insurance companies basically think 1 year at a time for drug coverage and only care about keeping you alive for that 1 year at the cheapest possible price. Long term care and planning is something medicare/medicaid may better be able to utilize in their economic model to justify coverage.</p>

<p>The amount of willpower required to maintain differs from person to person. So yes you can willpower your way to a healthy weight, but the amount of mental energy required is going to vary significantly between people. The drug proves it as it basically flips people with a high willpower requirement to feel more in the normal range where it is easier to eat less.</p>
