Thank you! The idea of trending/historical data is definitely on the radar. As it runs and updates over time, I might actually have this data and be able to add it in the future. I agree with you seeing if things are trending up or down could be really insightful.

Isn't having the power to get everyone to do things that favor your service... a monopoly?

What power? What happens if company doesnt use GA and use Plausible? Nothing. So many companies do it.

What happens if a company doesn't use Google maps to show its location on their website? People think they're weird...

I believe there is a private right of action on anti trust.

If you're really interested in it, I suggest subscriber to https://www.thebignewsletter.com/

Because they are mostly software developers who think it's different because it impacts them.

We just use a slack. The overwhelming single channel? nope. channels for all the hobbies, shitposting, news, games, etc. We even have a discord notification for gaming channel when people get on the gaming channel. Separate notification for the chat channel if someone wants to just chill.

"People close to X said the platform pressed vendors that were supplying it with goods or services to spend money on advertising. X is a customer of Amazon Web Services, its cloud-computing unit, and had past-due bills for that. X used those unpaid bills as leverage during negotiations, according to people familiar with the matter."

So Elon doesn't pay his bills either. Not surprising. I wish Amazon just cut services until bills paid, see who actually has leverage in that situation when nothing operates to run ads on and the cesspool can't spread.

Of course he doesn't. You don't get ultra wealthy by being fair. I would like to introduce the "Ascensional Triad Theory of Success".

In order to be extremely successful, you must have 2 of the following 3 ingredients:

   * Unusual skill
   * Serendipity
   * Ethical laxity

The Russian maxim "Never ask a Billionaire how he made his first million" comes to mind.

Hi HN,

I'm super excited to share the open source project I've been working on for the past year because it is finally ready for general use (I hope!).

The project is called Orderly Ape, it's an open source (MIT) distributed, scalable load testing platform that uses k6, grafana, influxdb and kubernetes. It lets you run k6 load tests on your infrastructure and gives you complete control/ownership of the execution and data.

I was motivated to create Orderly Ape because I work a lot with hosting companies and testing them (I run WPHostingBenchmarks.com). It wasn't financially viable to run many large scale tests to benchmark all these companies, so I built Orderly Ape. It allows me to run tests at a fraction of the cost now, no VUser pricing, just the hardware needed to run the tests - scaled/spun up when I need it.

I finally finished documenting (and creating video tutorials) on how to setup/install/run everything. So now people can hopefully actually give it a try.

I would appreciate any feedback/bugs/suggestions/pull requests :)

I liked the networking in WSL1 more too

Corporate networking is why I still use WSL1 (I didn’t spend enough time to check why it doesn’t with WSL2, zScaler could be the culprit maybe).

However it’s not perfect, for example I hit this bug when trying to run node a few days ago https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8219#issuecomment-10... and I don’t think they’re fixing bugs in WSL1 anymore

Are we pretending the silk road was actually a legitimate marketplace and a few bad actors might have used it for things that break the law?

It just allowed unrestricted trade outside of regular economy. In a world where the governments themselves are corrupt and criminal, you could argue over the ethicality of the concept. But comparing it to drug cartels is unfair I would say.

He ordered murders. There isn't much of a difference in my eyes.

Sure, but that is a non-sequitur.

It's not necessarily unethical to break the law, merely illegal.

Civil disobedience is a pretty important part of how we have always dealt with bad laws and bad governments.

Because there was naive optimism about it as a technology?
