747-800 burns about 2,900 gal of fuel per hour at cruise altitude and speed. This was done at 12,000 feet which probably doubled the fuel consumption. Without accounting for takeoff/climb fuel, we're looking at around 32,000 gallons of jet fuel. Cheapest fuel BFI is 5.59/gal so a good estimate for the total bill would be $178,880.00.

Found a solution:

Set up the query on hurl.it, click on permalink, then copy the URL it gives you, for example:

http://www.hurl.it/hurls/5a5762bfd067fe6c500f79f10db3c2a3166...

Every time you visit that page, the query will be loaded, you can send the request and see the response immediately.

Both great services, but I'd need a greater level of customization to get it to work.

Would this be something enough people would use to justify it as a weekend project?

Ask HN: Is there a service that will submit an API request on my behalf?

from the ask-hn dept.

For instance, I have an API call that remaps an Elastic IP to another EC2 instance in case there's a failure. I have the call saved on my mac, but in case I had a failure while I was out of the office, it would be nice if I could visit a webpage, send an email, tweet something, etc, and a service would send the API call on my behalf.Seems simple enough, but I can't find anybody out there doing it.

Just US for now. Are you talking about the design as a whole or do you just find the Flash movie annoying?

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

haha...yes that's a common question. I guess the only catch is that we provide the merchant account and gateway for you, along with the billing app. Cons would be less flexibility for you if you prefer something like auth.net, but the Pros would be substantial cost savings because you dont have so many separate companies involved trying to turn a profit.

I actually agree with you, but it tests well with a high percentage of small business owners ;)
