Who knows.

Define reasonable in a global way.

I think maybe you were looking for "people who do not engage in heated discussions"

Right or wrong, it's unreasonable to think that everyone will always be in absolute control.

It's simply words, there's nothing slightly alarming in what I've read.

For example:

where you have been called out for communicating disrespectfully, you counter by stating what you said is a fact. While in many cases it is truly a fact, the way in which you convey these facts has not been appropriate

Maybe if you don't acknowledge facts and focus on wording, people will get upset.

You can't actually know if you're talking to a Tourette Syndrome patient, but you can totally know if what they are saying makes some sense or not.

Besides, are we kids in church that should be schooled?

But the most alarming bits are

No interactions in any official Thunderbird channels, as well as external or unofficial channels like social media (Twitter, Facebook, Telegram).

No attendance at Thunderbird events during this period (virtual or physical)

WHAT?

Are they kidding?
We are not at school.
As others have pointed out, Liz Truss has no qualms about calling Saudi Arabia an important ally[1]. Statements against China are a way to pander to the Tory base.

The beneficiaries are poor enough to not afford saving that money, so it definitely ended up back in the economy. After all there are no studies saying that savings had increased, are there.

Yes, "Fanboy's Annoyance" list under the "Annoyance" section, in uBo "Filter Lists" configuration tab. I enabled it recently only, and so far it looks OK with IDCAC removed. And uBo is also supported on Firefox for Android.
They're talking about friends and family, not support of the current regime/administration of Russia.

There are Russians who support the regime for sure; but making sure your family are not suffering should never be framed as shameful.
Nowhere in my CV does it say that I know PHP, so when I fixed a bug in an old PHP app my boss was quite impressed at how fast I got it fixed until I explained that I knew PHP, but I kept it secret because I didn't like working with it. He laughed and said next time he'd try to find someone else to work on the app.

> To reframe this question, what would suffice to elevate Glo to the same level of trustworthiness as GiveDirectly, assuming we were structured similarly?

Why another shitty stablecoin? Stable coins have been anything but recently.

Why does this have to be on blockchain?

What happens to my money when you fold?

What happens to my money if there's a backdoor in your coin?

Where's the fund manager?

When there's a run on your coin are you going to buoy it up by selling your treasury holdings?

What happens on a weekend or a holiday when a run is happening on the coin and the treasury and the markets are closed? It can't all be in TBills, some of it has to be in USD. What's the breakdown? Where is it published?

What's to say tomorrow you won't rug pull and leave the country in a yacht? Or the leader who takes after you?

Where's your true heart at? Is it for the poor? Or are you going to transition from a non-profit to a for-profit organization, once you get a good amount of money in your coffers?

And then I see this:

To end extreme poverty, Glo would need to replace 7% of all the money in the
world. While ambitious, this is not impossible:

We'd be at 100% of our goal if 87% of US savings deposits ($10.6 trillion) were converted to Glo
We'd be at 63% of our goal if all cash held by US companies ($5.8 trillion) were converted to Glo

Look you guys are clearly smart, but you've drunk the kool-aid.
Show HN: Hurl, test APIs with plain text and libcurl
Hi,

We're happy to release a new version of Hurl [1]. Hurl is a command line tool powered by curl, that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format:

# Get home:
GET https://example.org

HTTP/1.1 200
[Captures]
csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)"

# Do login!
POST https://example.org/login?user=toto&password=1234
X-CSRF-TOKEN:

HTTP/1.1 302

Hurl can be used to get data like curl, or as an integration testing tool for JSON/XML HTTP apis / HTML content. Requests can be chained, and one can add asserts on response headers, cookies and body.

For instance:

GET https://example.org/order
screencapability: low

HTTP/1.1 200
[Asserts]
jsonpath "$.validated" == true
jsonpath "$.userInfo.lastName" == "Herbert"
jsonpath "$.hasDevice" == false
jsonpath "$.links" count == 12
jsonpath "$.order" matches /^order-\d{8}$/

You can see more samples in the documentation [2].

We've designed Hurl to be easily integrated in CI/CD (GitHub, GitLab), and its text format can be used as a documentation, commited in a repo etc... It's a single binary written in Rust, that is powered by libcurl under the hood, for a fast CLI tool for both devops and developers.

In this new version, we've added the following improvements:

- verbose output: add more color to Hurl --verbose output, and also added --very-verbose option to output request and response bodies

- request options: command-line options such as --location (follow HTTP redirection), --verbose, --insecure etc... can now be applied to a particular request with an [Options] sections

- and more, see here for a quick tout of 1.7.0 [3]

It was a crawler with the user agent "hgf AlphaXCrawl/0.1 (+https://www.fim.uni-passau.de/data-science/forschung/open-se...)", operated by the University Passau and Open Search Foundation named on your landing page. It would be a mighty big coincidence if this wasn't a project connected to this endeavor, especially when it confirms being an experimental crawler of said project at the UA URL.
I can think of a large democracy that fairly recently started two wars for bullshit reasons and fucked up two countries that, admittedly, were already well fucked up. But probably a large number of people died that wouldn't have died otherwise.
What do alternative libc implementations like musl or dietlib do on those systems? Do their maintainers manually track the unstable syscall interface or are developers forced to use the system provided libc because the alternatives just don't work completely?
> Someone had to go very far out of their way to dig up something she said.

And every time it happens, more and more people find out. Streisand effect.

When I asked @dang a few years ago why Yarvin was banned, that was his response: in even technical posts related to Yarvin, his politics endlessly get brought up—and HN doesn't exist for that kind of discussion.

You can still see that happen in virtually any Urbit post, despite him not even being involved in it anymore.

If I were @dang, I would have allowed Yarvin links on HN (and Justine, obviously—amazingly talented engineer) and instead have a different HN policy: ask random HN posters to stop bringing up unrelated politics in the comments of technical posts.

Maybe @dang will do just that and we'll both be happy. It happens a lot and would make the site much, much nicer.
Would you rather be a slave with all your relatives in a deathcamp or fight the occupier to death?

To give an analogy that Americans might understand: imagine that a drug cartel imposed martial law on USA. Constant torture, living in fear, millions of wasted lives. That's literally the situation in occupied territories(since 2012).

I don't understand how people can think there will be less violence imposed on Ukrainians if they stop fighting. There is plenty of bloody evidence from Russian conflicts since 1990.
Out of curiosity, how is Apple Music better integrated? Spotify seems just as well integrated, especially now that Siri can treat it like your default music app. (E.g. “Hey Siri, play Novo Amor” starts a song by that artist in Spotify.)

The main benefit is that you can implement complex logic, performance optimizations, and compatibility shims on the userspace side of the kernel/userspace divide, where it's generally much easier to do, and bugs won't result in full compromise of the kernel.

There's not really a strong argument for not linking libc. Even if you want to implement your own libc, you can still do so with linker tricks and calling through to the supported syscall wrappers in the real libc.
> YouTube recommends me pretty much exactly what I've been recently watching.

It depends. Maybe I wasn't clear, most of the recommendations are fine (not great, but still pertinent), but sections like "New to you", or "Just uploaded" or even the search suggestions are full of trending videos that I keep telling it I don't care about.

Right now I just get recommended three categories of videos:

- 90% relevant to my interests but often stuff I've already watched. Nothing that strays a little further than the channels I already know. Keeps recommending stuff I've watched and liked months or years ago. Video #42 of a series I've seen fully.

- 9.9% useless trending bullshit. This month it's all about the "Why have we divorced" or "Meet our new baby" videos. I don't have children, I'm not even in a relationship. Google decided I would care about this.

- 0.1% some genuinely new stuff that's relevant.

Yes. Russian military doctrine is also pretty clear in that threats to territorial integrity of Russian federation are grounds for using nuclear weapons. It is basically the implied threat in the referendums announced for this weekend.
to be perfectly fair to Russia; there was practically nothing left the West could use to threaten them with regarding sanctions; which is probably why Putin said "Fuck it"; especially since the population is declining.

The impact of harsh sanctions is self-sufficiency. Ironically Germany and the EU is suffering moderately due to the Russian gas shortages.
> Now that I do contract work, I present myself as whatever they need

I realized that I should have done so for a contract work that I wasn't hired for. They told me that they were looking for someone specialized. I knew exactly that they needed a generalist, mostly because they were an early stage startup. They never hired for the “specialized” position they contacted me for, because that position shortly became obsolete.

Dylan Beattie actually talked about resource expansion (with HAL) about 6 years ago: https://youtu.be/g8E1B7rTZBI?t=1654

Essentially, it was a really nice and concise explanation of links to other data, problems with those and adding resource expansion to API endpoints.

That said, it feels like HAL never really took off and the implementation of something like that is very framework specific.

> ...or other approaches to solving this like GraphQL...

GraphQL does seem to solve this, but it's like someone made an equivalent to SQL just for APIs, except that they forgot to include the bit that actually talks to your data store based on the queries and returns data, so you have to write that yourself (e.g. query resolvers).

Unless you're using something like PostGraphile/Prisma/Hasura which exposes your database (provided you use one, which might be the situation in most cases) through GraphQL, but then you run into problems with intermediate data processing or additional access controls, that you might need to be API logic, before your data is returned.

So, instead of the old approach:

[client] <-RESTful request-> [your API] <-SQL query (with parameters)-> [SQL database]

You might be tempted to go with something like this:

[client] <-dynamic GraphQL query-> [GraphQL intermediate solution] <-SQL query (with parameters)-> [SQL database]

But since that might prove to be untenable (unsafe), you might need something like:

[client] <-dynamic GraphQL query-> [your API] <-dynamic GraphQL query-> [GraphQL intermediate solution] <-SQL query (with parameters)-> [SQL database]

Which kind of feels worse from a complexity standpoint from where we were previously, especially if the queries are dynamic instead of largely static.

Back to the topic, BFFs seem like a good idea, especially if they take over some of the gateway functionality as well. I've heard them be described as facade APIs in some cases.
Storage or not is entirely irrelevant to robots.txt directives. It guides automated access. It must be parsed first and excluded URLs must not be accessed at all.
Most of the USA is pretty far south but they'll struggle to generate energy as cheaply and cleanly as African nations using solar and batteries.

Probably just importing stuff from those nations will be required to drop the US carbon intensity further, especially if they don't start catching up with China in renewable rollout. The recent IRA is a step in the right direction but the US doesn't seem to have the political stability required for long term planning, so it could go either way.
I don't believe there was, my point was the statistical evidence is ambiguous at best. I should have put "smoking guns" in quotes.

Introduction

Build wealth and stability – You’re on the right track, you’ve been subscribed to your favourite podcast for years, and now you’re ready to take your business to the next level. But before doing that, you need to figure out where your money goes and how to make it grow. That’s where wealth and stability come in.

Building wealth is easy if you have a solid financial foundation, but finding stability is tougher. If you don’t know where your money is going and how it will reach its destination, it’s hard to plan for the future and maintain a healthy financial reserve. To sum it up: creating a strong financial foundation is key to building wealth and stability in your future—but doing so requires effort and determination.
> I think car sales is an accelerator course for interacting with, reading, and closing people.

There’s a lot of truth to this, but you could easily switch out "car sales" with any other kind of client and customer interaction. When I worked closely with users many moons ago, I quickly realized that most of them weren’t getting their needs met and were super excited to have me work one on one with them, and a very small percentage were actively hostile to any interaction at all. This kind of thing has held true for every job I’ve ever had. 1% of the customers cause 99% of the problems.
I find it puzzling how so many people are convinced Ukraine will defeat Russia in the conventional war that’s currently raging. And it’s not just arm chair generals on Twitter, but high ranking government officials in the West, and experienced generals like David Patreus (who today said Russian defeat was inevitable).

How can a nuclear armed country with a 100 million population advantage possibly lose this war? Do these people assume Russia would never mobilise its population? Or would never use its nuclear weapons?

Up until now Russia has been waging this war with its arms tied behind its back and now that the West has artificially prolonged this war with its endless shipment of weapons and intelligence, Russia has been forced to escalate.

The United States was responsible for instigating this war in the first place, by giving false confidence to Ukraine and encouraging them to play hard ball with Russia with regards to NATO membership etc. Now they are drip feeding Ukraine with weapons, just enough to keep the conflict going, ostensibly to make Russia lick its wounds and retreat in humiliation? Not sure if its a deliberate policy but the US is in effect destroying Ukraine & giving it a slow, painful death.

Zelensky has huge responsibility for this war as well. His refusal to take serious Putin's threat of war, despite months of warning with solid intelligence, right up until the cruise missiles started landing, should be evidence enough of his incompetence & that he is well above his head. Now he is trying to make up for his incompetence by needlessly sacrificing tens of thousand of his own citizens lives.

I genuinely find it quite repulsing how he is constantly on TV, be it Oscars, sporting events, begging for arms & aid 24/7. He has been begging for tanks, fighter jets, helicopters & even submarines. He basically wants to command the US military minus the personnel. How delusional can one get? Many find him courageous but I really think he is a narcissist who really thinks his playing a role in a movie. The US has found just the right person who is willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

There aren't very many historical examples of societies with high income tax, mostly because being able to effectively collect national income tax is a fairly new invention after all.

But the examples we do have include USA in the 1950s (top tax bracket 91%) and Sweden in the 1970s (top tax bracket 87%). Those are some of the most successful societies ever, especially in comparison to their peers at the time. Even the extreme right in these countries sees those eras as national high points.

I don't think there's evidence that taxation on its own creates stratified societies of super-rich and super-poor. For example, the problems of Brazil are largely unrelated to the tax rate.
Are those references not split out as separate api "resources" that can be queried independently?
