Man, I was deep into this blog post before I was able to answer the question "what is Neki?".

Nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded.

Could this open Cantor Fitzgerald up to class action law suits from consumers who ultimately paid the refunded tariffs?

I would say in this case it makes it enigmatic.

Tailwind Plus is great - I love the lifetime access, but I always wondered how sustainable that model was. Even without AI, how many of those memberships could they sell?

I've been using Claude Code in their iOS app (on a Pro account). I just point it at my GitHub repo, and tell it to work on one of the issues I created. It required very little setup beyond what I did for Claude Code CLI.

Wow, hadn't thought about that in a while. For a laugh, go back and take a look at some of the architectural choices they were replacing.

All The Simpsons episodes are on my YouTube TV DVR, along with a lot of the shows my kids like (although really what they care about is a couple channels on YouTube proper), so even before this I was wondering why I was paying for Disney+ at all.

A little thing that doesn't help the situation is when legitimate emails link you to domains that aren't obviously controlled by the company.
