Why don’t you have a demo where someone can enter a website and see a JSON response? I signed up on mobile to test it out but you dumped me into a settings page.
Update: I made it so anyone signing up from now on doesn't have to click the "generate api key" button and instead can hit the API playground right away.
Both things can be true. Conservative media outlets know that these issues evoke visceral reactions from the base and therefore they can sell more ads.
But I’ve also encountered teachers who confided that they teach gender fluidity to their 1st grade class without parental consent. Teaching trans ideology to children has become a humanitarian cause for many on the left and there’s a strong desire among parents for public school systems to take an aggressive stance against the handful of bad actors doing this.
I think there’s a lot of truth to this, and it’s worth reflecting on.
Trump survived an assassination attempt, a series of questionably motivated legal challenges, and then leaned into showing up for hostile interviews during the campaign.
At a time where there is armed conflict spreading across the world again, this kind of personality is appealing to a large portion of the population, and understandably so.
> Trump survived an assassination attempt, a series of questionably motivated legal challenges,
Sure, but he was plenty popular before all of that. The appeal, imho, is in the calculated appearance of sincerity and toughness... from a guy who is in reality embodies neither of those qualities. Both the assassination and legal challenges amplify the appearance of toughness. The "mean kids" comment is spot on.
> and then leaned into showing up for hostile interviews during the campaign.
Not sure what you're referring to here. Joe Rogan and Theo Von are pretty far from being hostile to Trump.
Any such calculated attempt at appearing tough would break down when a bullet barely missed your head. His reaction of staying on stage and encouraging the crowd would be quite hard to fake.

No, just years of improv training.
As a reminder, this is a guy with the thinnest skin imaginable, who literally cannot tolerate any criticism, has never exercised or done physical labor in his life, and has never faced any challenge he couldn't buy himself out of. It's all an act. Sorry to hear that you're just as gullible as the majority of voters.
Talking down to the majority of voters is a large factor in why the democratic party lost this election. The US needs a strong democratic party just as much as it needs a strong republican party. Dems gave us the modern concept of a weekend, public services that are vital to social mobility, and many more things.
Rather than resenting a large part of the nation for their vote, my hope is that we all practice humility and reflect on the truth regarding why this happened and not just chalk it up to "over half the country is stupid".
It’s pretty common in American political discourse. If you look at the discussion around the Affordable Care Act there were tons of predictions that it was the next step on the road to a communist takeover including quoting Lenin and even comparisons to slavery:

Many people know that’s nonsense but there is never a shortage of people willing to lie for political advantage and in that case there was so much money at stake that you could make a political career criticizing the evils of socialized medicine.
My elderly nan had a fall this morning and has badly hurt her back. She has been lying on the floor in her house since this morning (six hours so far), immobile, waiting for an ambulance to arrive. I wish I lived near her so I could help. She needs an ambulance unfortunately as she literally cannot move - she is in terrible pain.
When/if the ambulance finally does arrive, it will take her to a crowded, failing hospital where she will probably have to wait several more hours before being seen by an underpaid and overstretched nurse in a miserable ward.
Our system is failing, and not because it is underfunded (it gets nearly £200 billion a year and it has had real-terms increases in funding for decades, and employs 2M people). It is failing because:
* it is monolithic and unwieldy
* it has no efficiency incentives
* it is a state monopoly, so it is able to underpay and poorly treat its staff
* politicians are not the right people to preside over healthcare
* it is considered our national religion, and it doesn't get the scrutiny it deserves
The European public/private model provides much better quality and outcomes. The American system, expensive though it is, provides far better quality and outcomes.
I'm a republican who is also opposed to public healthcare and I understand it isn't communism. Most of the other republicans with whom I interact also understand that. Not all republicans engage in false equivalence.
> To be fair, I’ve never seen socialized healthcare conflated with communism.
> I'm a republican who is also opposed to public healthcare and I understand it isn't communism
You know that guy who leads your party? Large, orange, shouty? He's conflated it with communism, repeatedly. You should perhaps consider paying more attention.
I think for myself and do not just adopt whatever view happens to be espoused by a party leader. I'm sure he may have conflated socialized healthcare with communism at some point, but my original point remains that most of the republicans I know do not believe such things.
The point also remains that I haven't seen socialized healthcare conflated with communism. While it wouldn't surprise me if Trump said it, I have not personally seen it.
I mean, Trump has accused Harris of having a "far-left agenda" and of being a "Marxist", when at best she would be center, center-left to an European eye.
That's not really "far-left" or "Marxist", at least in my book. But then again, I'm not American. At some point, I believe Trump also proposed some pretty aggressive protectionist policies concerning foreign imports.
Trump did indeed propose some protectionist policies concerning foreign imports. It was oddly left leaning. Makes me wonder if the parties are switching platforms again.
> ...when at best she would be center, center-left to an European eye.
You must understand something about her platform and policies, I sure don't. She hasn't said much of substance. All the bitching between the two of them is like watching my children argue.
The quoted tweet mentions medical leave for burnout. I've noticed quite a lot of these stories begin with the laid-off employee taking extended time off for one reason or another.
Why don't people let the police install cameras in their home!? It just cuts down on crime. If you aren't committing crimes you have nothing to worry about.
This is an incredibly bad read on what telemetry is and a terrible analogy. Total hyperbole and non sequitur.
Most telemetry in the real world is literally just like Sentry and "oh there's a crash or error. Here's what the user may have done when it happened" or "this feature is not used as much while this one is very popular". Equating it to police spying on people and imprisoning would-be criminals or innocents is utter nonsense
1. Developers managed just fine in times before pervasive telemetry was normalized.
2. How "data driven" development usually fails in practice, and is a false promise - that is indeed a big and interesting topic, spanning across issues like Goodhart's law, or whether the data is used to "improve your experience" as if the user was a Thanksgiving turkey.
3. But even if you are of pure intentions and able to avoid all the pitfals of 2, I have no reason to believe that. As a user, I don't know you, I don't trust you. All I know is that, before telemetry became something developers suddenly can't do a good job without, it was the domain of spooks, criminals, and shady advertisers. We used to call it "spyware" and classified it as a form of malware. What reason do I have to believe you are and will forever be using this data in my interest, and not against it?
4. Between HIPAA, GDPR and various cybersecurity policies of one's organization/employer, your benign, unadvertised, opt-out telemetry may be landing some of your users in hot water - and it's the major reason why organizations keep getting stricter about what can or cannot be installed on work machines. Savvy users will prefer to avoid your telemetry-rich product, rather than to take the risk of a fuss with IT or Legal if the product captures some bits of protected information.
