- ohashi parentThank 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.
- 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/
- 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.
- 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 :)

- You seem to be mistaking that a startup is a business and an open source project doesn't need to be. One can simply want to build something and give the code away for free because the world benefits far more from that than trying to monetize it as a business and having fewer people use it.
- This is the most obvious reason why Verisign is a monopolist and should be regulated like a utility. They make false claims about choice and not being locked in. You buy a domain, you use it, you're locked in forever. And they know it. That's why they fight tooth and nail to protect their monopoly.
- Basically, you don't believe in government except to protect you from others who might take, while you have would have to ability to take advantage of others freely. No basic humans should be satisified by the government.
That's exactly what the ultra wealthy seem to generally believe too. Sorry that many of us reject your premise that you should be freely protected to screw over everyone else and think that's a moral decision (it's not, but I won't waste my time).
- If that home is over 10, 13 or 20m dollars... you can pay tax on it. If you have siblings, I assume it would be divided between you, so multiply value by siblings.
If you got a home worth that much, you can pay some taxes on it.
https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/more-than-1-500-homes...
1,500 homes sold for over 10m in a year. We're talking about the richest of the rich. That's exactly who should be paying some taxes. The people bitching about losing 'their' home this way... are either a) delusional or b) looking for a way to protect their incredible wealth.
Is your family home worth more than 10 or 20m dollars?
- There's plenty of valuable information on reddit. In fact, there's a strong search trend to put 'reddit' on search queries to get better results.
Could this guy be LARPing? Sure.
I looked up a few of the references, they look accurate. They would need to be an excellent LARPer to get that detailed. Or they actually know what they are talking about.
- Seems straight forward enough, put a value cap on it. $10 million? 20 million? Is anyone going to feel bad for the poor soul who can't pay the tax bill on a free 20 million dollar home?
We have a limit on gifts and according to this is 13 million. Just make it that.
What would be the downside here other than extremely wealthy having to pay some taxes upon death?
- We did this as a hackathon project a decade ago.
- Yet you completely ignore the non competition in monopolistic markets? Markets aren't pure and price discovery is stifled in a lot of ways. Arguing consolidation will help make a fairer market is ignorant if not disingenuous.
Won't someone think of the poor investors? Again, that's not who public policy should serve.
