Hey friend, I just lost someone close to me from Parkinson's coincidentally the same exact day as the woman in the story and just a few miles from her. If you have any servers you want to keep running for a while or any EOL tech logistics your family won't understand I'd be happy to help. I can post your memoriam page wherever it belongs. My email is in my profile.

Framingham is a Boston suburb. Boston is maybe a #4-5 tech hub in the US, so there are a fair number of Massachusetts folks on here for whom it'll be a local story. I've seen non-tech Boston area stories on the front page once in a while.

Also when I first saw the headline, I (incorrectly) assumed it was an auto-posted obituary and clicked to see the tech. I could see in this scary political climate, with US morality on the rise, and a few prominent new "DeathTech" startups, this audience might be curious about tech for EOL planning. Long time HNers (the ones who are more likely to vote on articles) are aging and that cohort are now in their 40s–50s and increasingly aware of their mortality as they themselves, family and friends confront challenging medical issues.

The Cybertruck is smaller in both length and width than the short bed F-150, the most popular truck and passenger vehicle in America. Not a Tesla fan by any means but they're right to deny him for being unreasonable. It's basically marketed as a colossally impractical truck.

This is such a simple answer: NO. Not sure why we need to overcomplicate. The Fed's dual mandate is maximum employment and price stability. The best monetary policy lever to affect this is by adjusting the federal funds rate. This only has a limited effect on price stability. The basket of goods which makes up the Consumer Price Index includes many items which are inelastic. If prices of shelter, transportation and food go up, people still need to consume them to survive. These prices are influenced by many other geopolitical factors (war in Ukraine, housing policy, labor supply, etc) and thus interest rates only have a limited ability to "fix" inflation.
