Smart move from Anthropic.

They're the belle of the ball right now, everybody is talking about them, everybody wants to invest in them, so they can call the shots.

Then they'll have money in the bank for a long time no matter what happens – IPO, market downturn, etc.

Takes off lots of pressure so they can continue focusing on the product.

I would actually say that the selling point here is that affiliate revenue goes thru your website.

I had tried to sign up for affiliate sales a while back, but:

It is complicated to sign up for it – depending on the vendor you have to fill in a number of forms, or sign up via a different affiliate network to even use them.

Wait times for a response are long – I remember some networks or individual sellers got back to me months later.

There's a high bar to entry – I had a tiny website, so I didn't get approved, but I had a good CTR. I eventually had to shut down the website since I realized there was no viable option to monetization and was just burning money on name registration + hosting.

My website was also not in the blog-space, i.e. I didn't do reviews, but I did offer good info, and Amazon for example specifically denied me affiliate permissions because of this.

I might revive the website and see if it'll work again with you guys. This is a path to monetization that could make it sustainable. Thanks and good luck!

Why bunch Node w/ Express together with the others and dismiss it? (genuinely curious).

Rails has a high learning curve. Perhaps people working with it for years don't notice it. Node + Express seems faster to learn and ship, but my experience with Rails is limited.

Won't the producers just leave the same date in, but change the wording before it?

Weird that they would even consider that – Norway is so rich from oil and gas, it may be able to keep going without collecting any taxes.

This probably happens often. The incentives and number of people involved just align well for mining to happen at Airbnb's on the regular.

It might just go back to what it was before / intended to be originally: no private jets, no helicopters, or oysters on the half shell in the middle of the desert

Still amazing that they would get to 400k.

−25.3 to −2.4 mg/dL for LDL is really not much, and is in line with what is expected on diet based changes

You can't properly run an economy on "pissing off" whims like that.

Quite the precedent to set. Does this mean that any company operating in Denmark, that happens to be in a work dispute may have their mail stopped?

What about all the other studies claiming that poor sleep causes depression? Not sure what to trust these days. Gut tells me poor sleep won't make you ahem "your brain feel slap-happy, loopy and almost giddy" (very scientific).
