@WallStreetApes Delta Denta once reimbursed me $4.10 for a $410 procedure. They claimed it was my fault because I wrote "410" rather than "410.00" on the form. I told the representative not to drive home at 1/2mph by accident if she sees a "Speed Limit 50" sign.

WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit “Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments. Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it — That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny. Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA. You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”

I wrote a blog post about how to sign data. I think even in 2026 we still need better tooling. Check it out: blog.foks.pub/posts/domain-s…

Whoever thought that a beard is a good disguise has never: had a beard, shaved it off, and then had his wife and kids not notice.

@bensima thanks ben!!

the co-founder of keybase has created an open source and federated version, so far it looks incredible

FOKS by @maxtaco "is like Keybase, but fully open-source and federated, with SSO and YubiKey support": blog.foks.pub/posts/introduc…

I've been working on a new system called FOKS -- the federated open key service. There's a blog post that got picked up on hacker news discussing the launch: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=445000…

@ambushalgorithm @btc_privacy You can DM me, happy to tell you more about warp wallet. It was a useful and successful experiment.

I did some ChatGPT research and found some security guys…maybe they can join the chat. But my best guess tells me with a high enough entropy passphrase it would make it just as hard as it ever was to get access to the funds. They created WarpWallet and Keybase which I think got bought out by Zoom @maxtaco @malgorithms

🚀 Big news! @SocketSecurity just raised a $40M Series B round to combat next-gen software supply chain security attacks and defend open source. The round was led by @AbstractVC, with @eladgil, @a16z, and top angels. We have big plans for the $$$ – see thread ⬇️ 🧵 1/10

@Shteyngart Have been, great spot. One ought to arise and go now.

Have any of you mothercluckers been to Innisfree in Millbrook? It’s nice.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the first Keybase merkle root. Still chugging along. keybase.io/_/api/1.0/merk…

On the one hand, she is an absolute badass in that she can play the horn without a mouthpiece. On the other, I think she’s overly concerned about falling debris.

@laurenmechling I will ask!

@laurenmechling It’s not really answering your question, but my friend is now finishing up last year’s, which was keeping it to exactly “52 drinks.”

@lee_kovarsky The word “evolve” continues to evolve and now I see it used as a transitive verb. “We continue to evolve our strategy”. Barf.

🚀 Huge news! @SocketSecurity has raised $20M Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz (@a16z). ⭐️ This funding fuels our mission to make open source safer for everyone! 🚀🚀🚀 We're also announcing 4 new products this week as part of Socket Launch Week! ✨ 🧵 1/10
