Not unless you invite the public in on a regular basis. Websites are available to the public - especially if you're trying to promote them on HN

AIUI one of the many quirks of the US health insurance system is that a lot of people have only minimal cover which doesn't include things like physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatment. That means that they often can't treat a painful condition at source so their only option is to mask the pain with painkillers.

It’s a real shame vibe coding hasn’t figured out colour contrast yet.

The people who are using it can't post here because OpenClaw deleted their HN account.

I'd be interested in how it compares (in terms of time, money and false positives) with fuzzing.

Interesting bias to blame the woman. How do you know that the second twin wasn't taking advantage of their identical looks to convince the woman it was the same man she had slept with the first time? She may not even have been aware that he had an identical sibling.

The buried lede in that link is that mothers who don't have custody of their children are more likely to remain in close emotional contact with their children than fathers are when in the same position. So children living with dad still benefit from having both parents involved in their upbringing. Which undermines OP's assertion that this child would be better off without their mother around.

Trusting sources because they are your "own" is just asking for bias to be ingrained.

The burden of proof falls on the person making the assertion. Why should anyone else have to do the work that he/she/they didn't bother with?

I don't have a lot of experience with them but I would have thought static analysis tools circa 2020 would have managed it just fine.
