That's why I found this interesting, a variety of sources provides different viewpoints on risk. I may not personally agree, but it does help give many perspectives.

Yeah that scraper is... not fully ready yet, why I put BETA label on it.

Room for improvement. Thanks :)

I've been working on a similar idea for travelers, https://travelsafetydata.com/

It's pulling the travel advisories from US/CA/UK/IE/AU/NZ and aggregating the results/information to help you understand the risks of different countries. It also pulls from other sources for basic country info/risks (eg. women, lgbtq).

Yours is way lighter weight and focused, very cool!

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.

I've had this idea sitting in a file for years but until I just got Claude Code at Christmas time, never had to time to actually implement it. It seemed like a good test for Claude Code and with 2x christmas usage, why not?

The goal was aggregating different travel warnings from multiple government sources to get a sense of how safe a country was to visit. It aggregates from US, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and UK (Australia scraper didn't go so well). I was shocked how effectively it was able to accomplish that, so I added some more data I thought might be useful if I were considering traveling to a country and pulled government/UN/edu data about things like water/food safety, healthcare/vaccines/diseases, emergency numbers, natural disaster risks, women's safety, lgbtq safety.

Throw in a nice map visualization and ability to compare, I'm pretty shocked and happy how well I think it came out. I wanted to share it with the community, maybe folks find it helpful and/or have ideas for ways to improve it.

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

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.

New comment by ohashi in "Orderly Ape – open-source scalable, distributed load testing"

ohashi — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 12:35:48 +0000

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 :)

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?

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.

I was curious how they might handle something that isn't ready yet, but in the process of being built. But that answers it, it's not eligible. Oh well :( Plenty of good open source out there deserving as well.

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.
