Ask HN: Why does tech industry not have more co-ops?

Sounds like this should be the default path if AI is really enabling everyone and setting an even field. Why is it just winner (CEO and co) takes all and losers go home?

Show HN: A TUI for Markdown view an editing

Hi HN, I built a simple TUI for viewing and editing .md files in the terminal. More and more markdown files keep appearing in our projects, and I found myself needing a quick way to view(with syntax highlighting) and edit them without leaving the terminal, so I built this

Tell HN: One Medical Is a Nightmare

I thought I'd relate an incredibly broken tech stack story, and its human consequences, to HN today. I used to have One Medical access through work, years ago, it was perfectly fine quality care, and then I stopped using it. I recently needed to find a replacement primary care and decided to try them again. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of initial care transfer and appointments, my account is now in a Sisyphean nightmare state, where it thinks I have an expired membership expiring in the future (September 2026), and as a result, errors out on any attempt to update my membership status. Attempting to contact their support has been an exercise in repeatedly being hung up on when attempting to put me on hold to escalate, and/or having their staff decide that if they repeat the instructions enough times it'll work. You cannot make a second account, because they notice the duplicated personal data and insist on deduplicating it before providing you care, which appears to be how we got into this nightmare state in the first place. Amazon support says they can't do anything because it's a One Medical problem, One Medical support says they can't do anything because they have no power to do anything. Now I'm going to need to find another medical provider on extremely short notice, because I've been trying for two weeks to try and get this resolved with them and failing, and I am going to run out of some monthly medication renewals if I don't.

Ask HN: Will hardware ever be cheap again?

Up until about 2015 it felt like hardware was always getting cheaper. Then something happened and hardware stopped getting cheaper every year. Adjusted for inflation a mid-range laptop or desktop costs me much more today than it did back then. Yes, it has better specs but it needs it to make up for the extra bloat of all applications. Given DRAM, CPU, GPU, and SSD shortages it does not seem hardware will become cheaper in the short term. Do you think it will ever go back to how it was ten years ago or is this the new normal?
