Thanks for posting the archive.org link. The site _was_ fast when I posted this earlier today. I suppose they don't receive much traffic, and host their site on a non-scaling potato server.

turtlegrids··on Who is un-hiring (layoffs)?
I've been relying on https://layoffs.fyi/ as a definitive compilation of the layoffs. Does this site address your question? If not, what do you feel is missing?

turtlegrids··on Why do they still make car alarms? (2015)
> The alarm is aftermarket, and silent. All it does is make the fuel pump go in reverse.

Would you mind disclosing what brand/model this alarm is? This would be great for a couple of “issues” I’ve been having.

If you aren’t comfortable saying publicly, could you send me a message with the info? And Amazon/Aliexpress/eBay link?

You should be able to fill over 40 feet of bookshelf with your $300 budget.

turtlegrids··on Berkeley becomes first US city to ban natural gas in new homes
Carbon monoxide detectors aren't just there because of natural gas appliances. They're also essential to protect people in cases exactly like you mentioned -- a temporary tabletop camping grill.

It's frightening to read about people who don't have CO detectors and put a combustion-powered generator in their house when the power (and thus heat) goes out in the winter. As of a decade ago the rate of CO deaths was around 400 per year in the US. Whatever it is now it's still terribly high.

For a sad time here's a random article from news.google.com when searching for "carbon monoxide generator" https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/2-Boys-2-Men-Dead-After-Ca...

turtlegrids··on Why some houses on Google Street View are blurred out

FWIW I don't necessarily agree with anything this article says. I'm posting it because I believe other HN readers may have an interest in reading the 'other viewpoint' of the Tesla media.
turtlegrids··on 25% of Americans say they worry about money ‘all the time’

turtlegrids··on Amazon Jumps into Freight Brokerage
I stumbled across this article while searching for something related to Amazon Logistics. This freight service and the article are both wildly interesting.

But I still don't know how to do what I wanted to do in the first place -- does anyone know if there's an API that allows querying Amazon Logistics tracking? Basically scan history and estimated delivery date given a TBA######## tracking number.
