You seem to know a lot about this, and I was nodding along with a lot of your points as I was reading. I was Stripe's first customer in 2010, so we solved the credit card processing issue :) it turns out that being in YC is good for more than just money. You are right about HIPAA, everyone thinks this is much harder than it actually is, but GCP, OpenAI, Linq, everyone has given us a BAA. We're definitely not trying t…

Don’t newly produced meds require new FDA clearance/approval, with clinical testing and all the like? I mean how else can you prove that your new drug production is effective and causes no new harms

Loopholes.

It’s this repetition of caloric balance dogma that’s most unhelpful and unwelcome here. If if was that simple, everyone would already have done it. Appetite and metabolism are not that simple and continuing to insist that they are serves only to alienate anyone who isn’t already committed to that worldview. Nobody disputes that there are risks that need to be understood and addressed.

> Appetite and metabolism are not that simple and continuing to insist that they are serves only to alienate anyone Funny enough, you want to argue with people who have done some real work in this field and produced results in thousands of people? But you do not provide any refutation. I think i know quite a lot about this already: https://macrocodex.app/knowledge/macrocodex/smart-calorie-bu... We've written this alg…

Now that I've looked through your comment history, I see that you've been using HN for self-promotion, which is also against the guidelines.

If you have material consisting of novel research that the audience will find intellectually gratifying, you're welcome to share it as a standalone post.

It's not good community participation to hijack other people's launch posts with this kind of antagonistic commentary when you have a competing agenda.

Edit: removed initial mistaken accusation of failing to disclose competing product.

Did you read the very first reply I posted? I clearly disclosed "we run public benefit app".

OK, sorry for that; I've removed the accusation of failing to disclose your competing service.

It's still not great community participation, piggy-backing onto someone else's launch thread with these kinds of comments, and repeatedly insisting that weight loss via diet and exercise is easy (people have been saying it for decades and it clearly isn't, otherwise there would be no demand for GLP-1 drugs).

The case remains that your style of participation on HN is self-promotional. If you want to generate attention for your research and program/app, please earn the exposure by writing a deep-dive post that can engage the intellectual curiosity of the HN audience.

Signed up, made an appointment, the time was wrong; need a way to reschedule. Support hasn't responded either from an early morning message. Likely you're busy, not a great first time use so far, but hopefully it improves.

Check them support messages, especially day 1 / week 1! =)
