I wouldn't bet on and as I understand theory allows a shorter routes. Major caveat is weve never observed them and their existence doesn't guarantee they're traversible.
What's exciting to me is that the existence of such a planet provides fuel for more research into the field.
Arguing that broadband internet saves lives reminds me of the argument that Jesus saves lives and the love of Jesus must be spread around the world.
How could this not end poorly? I cant think of one realistic scenario where there world benefits.
WWII? Fabius did this to Hannibal more than a thousand years ago. The core of his strategy was to dunk on supplies, stall, and have the Carthaginians run out of food.
I imagine Iran, Ukraine, and Russia all know about Fabian strategy.
Meta helps gov w surveillance, so they won't be hit w a $1.4T damage. I imagine a few mil could come out of this tho.
My mobile is a Motorola as well!
it may benefit: children, social media, marketing, police state, ai, data brokers, and many others
does it benefit you?
I think the affiliate links are fine and the wholesale plagiarism is unlawful at best and likely criminal.
I agree with you and am acknowledging that knowledge is power and controlled by the powerful.
If anything it'd be free for approved partners. Think large legal firms, language model data collectors, etc
"trust me bro"
Speculation: It probably is just for money. Then the ppl buying, at least some of them, are likely to be engaging in the type of activity described.
Hi HN,
I built Trace Jobs Core API, a data API for querying job postings from structured machine-readable sources.
You can try it immediately with the sandbox command: https://kaleh.net/trace/#trynow
It returns current job data without requiring an account.
I built this because job data ingestion tends to become the same maintenance problem repeatedly:
- scraping HTML pages
- fixing parsers after frontend changes
- mapping inconsistent fields
- deduplicating the same postings across sources
Trace takes a different approach.
It ingests public machine-readable job feeds, translates them into a consistent format, and exposes the records through an API.
The core idea is: do not guess.
If a source provides a structured field, we normalize it where the mapping is clear. If a field is ambiguous or unavailable, the original value is preserved.
The goal is clean, predictable data without forcing our own interpretation layer into the pipeline.
No scraping. No LLM extraction. No inferred metadata. No rewriting upstream intent.
Current index:
- 9,800+ structured feeds
- ~13k new postings/day
- daily refresh at 06:00 UTC
- Schema.org JobPosting records
- SHA-256 deduplication
- RFC 8785 canonicalization
Examples with real daily-refreshed HTML and JSON responses: https://kaleh.net/trace/examples.html
API documentation: https://kaleh.net/trace/docs.html
I’d appreciate feedback from anyone interested in the problem and especially people who have built:
- job boards and aggregators
- labor market analytics tools
- search/RAG systems
- data ingestion pipelines
Especially interested in how others approach source reliability, normalization, and preserving meaning when upstream data is inconsistent.
A note of thanks: this project exists because of the support of my family and friends, the people I've learned from in IRC communities, and the broader open source community. I am grateful to everyone who builds, maintains, documents, and shares the tools and standards that make projects like this possible.
I’ll be around to answer questions.
1) Yay 2) Fuck
I'm just about to launch a job posting data api with postings I aggregate and very lightly normalize (https://kaleh.net/trace)
Anyone have an idea how this might impact me? They're not my postings, I just package em up and ship em. Strive to comply with all laws and TOS and not trying to make trouble.
I'm just saying I don't yet have enough information to make up my mind. Take your name calling to Reddit.
headline makes it seem obvious who did it, but he didn't fall out of a window... so I'm going to wait for an investigation before I make up my mind
So this could be used as a streamlined way for client devices (mobile phones for example) to phone home to servers (google.com for example) with user data and bypass some local network controls? (DNS block lists, for example)
Is there an android SDK available?
looks like I installed a package 3 weeks before it was comprised. I try to limit surface area as much as possible, and this package seemed to be required for a project I'm working on. (turns out it wasn't, but i didn't know that yet)
Lol, I forgot most ppl have electronic, motorized, smart mirrors. Here I am bringing my manual mirror bias to the table thinking that ppl set their mirrors by hand.
Blindzone Glare Elimination Method can help address some of this
https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/blindzoneglaremi...
It doesn't help at all with head on traffic, but glare via my side mirrors has been reduced greatly since I implemented this.
Preach! Amen! Hallelujah!
Silver lining - It's not oil/gas extraction or mining.
I believe were all largely responsible for our own agency. different strokes for different folks I guess
I like where you're going and obv industry will just have you buy a license
its silly to me that soo many people buy into such schemes
Why would you buy my new game if you're spending all your attention on the one I sold you 10 years ago?
I think this is the root of it and what the article describes in the first half. I suspect owning a copy of a game will soon be completely eliminated and replaced w the subscription model. Then when subscription dollars stop flowing, the company naturally winds down the service.
One could use many things to do arithmetic:
- color wheel
- oxidation reactions
- interpretive dance
- migratory patterns of curlew sandpipers
Whether one should is another question
Stripe has a useful tool and markets it well. With that said, I'm glad there are other options.
