Ask HN: How do you escalate a Rippling support case quickly?
Just got off the phone with my health insurance provider, who told me that Rippling didn't file paperwork on time and that I don't currently have health insurance.
My company's HR has opened a case with them, but I'm not thrilled with how slow Rippling support's turnaround time seems to be.

Ask HN: How Would You Break into the Market as a New Grad Today?
Hi HN,
If there is an answer, I'm sure I'll find it here.
A bit of context: I recently graduated as a Security Engineer. I've done two internships—one focused on pentesting with a team of four, and the other on DevSecOps. I've been searching for a job or internship for the past six months but haven’t landed a single interview yet. During this time, I’ve been working on multiple courses, projects, and reading a few books to sharpen my skills.
My question is: How would YOU do it as a new grad looking to land their first job today?
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Wrote Code for Arranging Desktop Windows
In computing such as on Microsoft Windows, with several, especially 10 or more, windows (visible, not minimized) need a way to arrange them in a productive way.
So, wrote some code to do that.
In simple terms, the problem is that during routine work some windows too easily get completely covered by other windows.
E.g., with the version of the Firefox Web browser I have, if click on window A to open a new window B, Firefox displays B to the lower right of window A; then clicking on A shows A but covers the upper left and maybe all of window B.
Solution: The basic idea is to move the windows so that the upper left corners of all the windows are equally spaced on a line on the screen with slope from upper right to lower left.
[For a definition, if window A covers some or all of window B, then A is higher than B in the Z-order. Think of Z as a coordinate axis orthogonal to the screen.]
Then the window at the top of the Z-order is on the lower left and fully visible; we can see at least the upper left corner of each window; and if click on some window and change the Z-order, then that window becomes fully visible and we will still have at least the upper left corner of each window visible.
For this solution wrote the code in Object Rexx 4.2.0, which permits finding the coordinates of the windows in their Z-order and moving the windows preserving the Z-order.
I invoke this solution via an icon, right, in the upper left corner of the screen, i.e., in a position nearly always visible.
Others may also like this solution!

What analogy/metaphor do you use if you want to explain entropy to the C Suite?
I'm sure the answers are different if the C Suite is at Intel vs Hatchett Publishing or the senior senator from Oregon.
