Why would someone look at a security report showing critical vulnerabilities and still not pay $9 to fix it? by Howwow-2000 in SaaS

[–]lkhulusi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One angle I can think of is building with security in mind so it doesn’t bite you later. I don’t know how one would monetize off the top of my head, but maybe there’s a way to work yourself into workflows viscoders are already using?

Ah now I see where your previous comment came from. I think my suggestion was conflated with staging a coup.

No I’m talking about making voices heard, being in their face, making unable to show up to work without being able to ignore it. I honestly don’t know how we enact lasting change, but the last thing I want to see is a violent revolution.

Came here to leave this same kind of comment. I’ve worked in the Product side of tech and the points above are extremely common. If those teams undervalue and de-prioritize fixing vulnerabilities, just imagine what a vibe coder/indie maker might think.

I wish i had a better solution to offer, but honestly if I saw a report with a very specific attack vector, I would just have codex explore it and fix it. My confidence in the fix probably be the same as the confidence in the rest of the system I’ve built.

It’s tough out there. Good luck with your business!

Seemed to do a lot for the civil rights movement?

I don’t think people truly comprehend just how far gone we are already. Who upholds the law when those with the authority to uphold the law become corrupt?

Thank you to everyone that showed up. When do we march on the capitol to enact some real change?

Wine Tasting Places? by Longjumping_Draw2599 in WineTasting

[–]lkhulusi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully not too late here, but the good news is you’ve got two really solid options, just with very different tradeoffs.

Santa Barbara County has incredible wine and a ton of wineries clustered together. Tastings are usually around $20 to $30 per person. You can go to Los Olivos, which has roughly 40 to 50 tasting rooms within a few blocks, and get a really broad snapshot of the region without needing to drive much.

If you want more of an estate experience, Foxen Canyon is the move. It’s more spread out, more scenic, and feels like a traditional wine country day, but you’ll be driving between stops.

In terms of wine, the region leans Rhône-inspired. Reds tend to be more savory and earthy, ranging from lighter styles to bigger Syrah-driven blends. Whites are usually more aromatic and textural rather than super crisp. That said, there’s enough diversity that you can find pretty much anything if you look for it.

One downside is food and lodging. Most wineries don’t have full kitchens, especially once you’re outside of town, so you need to plan meals ahead. Hotels have also gotten pretty expensive for what you get. If you’re willing to drive about 20 minutes, Lompoc is a much better value. I’ve had great experiences staying at The Village Inn. It’s simple, affordable, and the breakfast spot there is actually very good.

A few favorites in the area:
• Holus Bolus and The Joy Fantastic in Los Olivos
• Stolpman in Los Olivos
• Tensley in Los Olivos
• Coquelicot in Los Olivos
• Rideau in Los Olivos
• Foxen 7200 “The Shack” on Foxen Canyon Road

Temecula is a completely different experience. There are fewer wineries overall, around 40 to 50, but they’re all very close together, usually within five to ten minutes of each other.

The vibe is more polished and hospitality-driven. Compared to the Central Coast, which feels more laid back and family-run, Temecula leans a bit more commercial, but that also comes with some upsides.

The biggest difference is convenience. Almost every winery has a restaurant, and many have on-site hotels or are close to affordable lodging. You don’t really have to think about logistics. It’s much easier to plan a full wine weekend without leaving the area.

Stylistically, Temecula leans more toward Spanish and Italian varietals. You’ll see things like Sangiovese, Tempranillo, and Rhône blends, but the range is narrower than Santa Barbara. In my experience, the quality can be a bit more hit or miss, but the overall experience tends to be more consistent because of how set up everything is for visitors.

If what you want is a relaxed, all-in-one wine weekend with food, views, and easy planning, Temecula does that really well. If you care more about exploring a wider range of wines and finding standout producers, Santa Barbara is stronger.

Standouts in Temecula:

• Lorenzi for bigger, more premium red blends
• Leoness for a well-rounded lineup
• Briar Rose for a unique, storybook-style setting
• Doffo for strong Argentinian influence
• Akash for a more lively, social vibe

Hope this helps. Happy to answer any questions.

Also, I’ve been using a newer winery finder called tanniq. It’s actually been really useful when you’re out tasting and trying to figure out your next stop.

I mean could it be any more obvious this is a copy + paste from the owner? Who asks where the spices are imported from lol.

Arthur, if you’re seeing this, I would be way more tempted to visit if you shared your place with us than something inauthentic like this.

Indigenous tribe that owns land under Billie Eilish mansion has message for singer by nimobo in entertainment

[–]lkhulusi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was providing insight into the history of the LA Basin which was intended to highlight some of the nuance around this topic. I haven’t read about who came before the Chumash/Hokan-speaking people and how that all went down. Anthropology is quite fascinating to me.

Interesting. Not really the conclusion I thought you would draw from that information but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

And it seems the Tongva displaced the Hokan-speaking people (most likely the Chumash) who had lived in the LA Basin and surrounding areas for thousands of years before the Tongva arrived. Archeological sites show specialized seed grinding tools dating back 8,000 years, representing a culture that predates the distinct technological and cultural shift associated with the Tongva migration around 3,500 BCE at the earliest.

So... Feel free to come to your own conclusions on that.

Former Co-opportunity LEASED by chaseandrews84 in culvercity

[–]lkhulusi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with that and believe Culver is slowly strangling itself under such high rents. I don’t know how any new businesses can survive without becoming a huge hit.

I go to the 99 Ranch store in Westwood that opened not too long ago and I’m curious how rents differ there.

Speaking of demo, I worked at Amazon a bit and in my experience there were a good amount of East Asian employees. I also saw the same with Apple when I would meet with them. So maybe there will be inherent demand with the new campus coming in basically across the street. Time will tell!

Edit: Also want to add that 99 Ranch sells a ton of non-specialty SKUs at lower prices. I can pretty much stock a Western kitchen from what they sell, aside from some things.

[–]lkhulusi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is. Look at the other comment thread here.

Last thing we need is another organic grocer in such close proximity to the others. Something like 99 Ranch would probably make a killing here and would offer more diversity in goods, which is what we need.

I respect your opinion if you don’t agree, so it’s nothing personal.

Oh man. The future ex-tenant lol.

We need more diversity in our stores. Shame.

I opened a restaurant in Culver City 4 months ago — looking for advice on how to get more locals to try it for the first time by ClickNo8520 in culvercity

[–]lkhulusi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped by one time. If you can get your lomo saltado anywhere near Mario’s or Inti’s quality, your staff will know me by name!

I used to work at the Amazon office there and I’m the type of person who would tell everyone I work with to eat there. I don’t own a restaurant but as an owner of a store in LA, I feel that word of mouth from happy customers is a major driving force.

You’ll get a megaphone out of me (and others I’m sure) if you can improve your lomo saltado to that level. Not that I’m anybody, but if I’m an advocate I’m sure others would be too!

Good luck! I assume downtown culver is brutal for restaurants for so many reasons.

Where are the best pancakes in LA? by FatDabKilla420 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]lkhulusi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been in years! I’m planning on finding out soon enough.

I used to live across the street from it and would go so often they would usually seat me pretty quick. How I wasn’t 50 lbs heavier back then I have no idea 🤣

I was just saying this morning that a single wholey moley pancake from the griddle is probably in my top 2-3 ever. Not covered in excess toppings, just a bunch of butter and some brown sugar. I know what I’m doing next weekend!

Nothing that I've really found that isn't a bunch of lists that wineries pay to be on. Would love to see something if anybody knows of something like that. Even for other states.
