Thanks! I’ll check that out

Ask HN: Why don't banks have API tokens like GitHub?

I haven't seen this anywhere so I figured it's worth asking. I'd really like to have a read only token that could be issued by my bank so I can have a little web client pull the balance data and update a budget for me. Yes I know there's mint budgeting and all that. I'm skeptical of handing the keys over to others and I'd like to DIY this. Is there some regulatory reason this doesn't exist? Are...

Pretty badly. I’m getting way more rejections than usual and positions are closing before I can get through the funnel
Re:GitHub Copilot is generally available on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @06:10PM (#31829674)
I'd pay for the service if the model was: I'll pay you when it's right and you refund me some amount every time copilot is wrong and I have to delete the entire block. It's good for small boilerplate stuff but that seems to be the limit. The attempts it makes are more complex code are really bad and I have to manually check it very closely to ensure it's right. I like the boilerplate boost but it's not worth $10/month to me.
This article is BS. Every repair I’ve had in the past was marked as a warranty repair.
Is there a list of mopub apps so I can delete them?
Re:How to Invest in Startups on Monday January 13, 2020 @02:24PM (#22037646)
The accreditation rules really bother me. Excluding people based solely on wealth is silly. I think you should be able to take a test to prove you know enough to invest.
i can't figure this out: https://worldtree.info/investment/ this seems far too good to be true. Back of the napkin calculations show they're saying the returns could be 28% a year compounded. That's better than buffet level returns. Surely this is a scam right?

Re:The Curse of the Honeycrisp Apple on Friday November 09, 2018 @08:05PM (#18419313)
http://skillcult.com/ has an amazing set of blog posts and videos about a whole range of obscure and interesting apple varieties. He’s talked about apples that taste like fruit punch, bananas, anise, spice, etc. The range of possible flavors that apples can express is pretty amazing.
Dammit. I wish you could delete accounts. I have tons of accounts and can’t seem to find links or settings to delete any of them to reduce my exposure to this crap.
Re:Gates Foundation spent $200M funding toilet research on Wednesday November 07, 2018 @03:18PM (#18402019)
So after reading the NIH study it looks like the compost toilets they tested were the desiccation kind. I don't really think those should be called compost toilets at all. There's some link somewhere that I can't remember off the top of my head ( maybe it's in the humaure handbook) where Jenkins talks about having his compost sent to a local lab to be tested for harmful bacteria for like a decade or something and it always came back fine.

That's interesting. I'll have to go through the NIH study in more detail. Thanks for linking that.

According to Jenkins that's not true: https://humanurehandbook.com/
Re:Gates Foundation spent $200M funding toilet research on Wednesday November 07, 2018 @10:49AM (#18399868)
Lol it’s called a compost toilet Bill. The technology is already here, it costs almost nothing to construct and use and creates a safe fertilizer at the end of the process. The amount of basic knowledge humanity has forgotten just blows my mind.
Tried it out because this looks really useful however it hangs forever. >1hr I let it spin. Not sure exactly what happened.

Found out about this from /r/longevity, a subreddit focused on extending the period of time in which people live healthy: Victor Bjoerk has been running a full month campaign for his birthday, where 100% of the proceedings go to the SENS Research Foundation. This is it: https://www.facebook.com/donate/240535473435753/

This sounds like the Carboniferous period when fungus couldn’t eat lignin and trees were piling up.
I could be wrong but that looks like an autopilot 1 car which is an older version of the tech that they're not really developing anymore. The newer autopilot 2 and 2.5 is what they're going forward with for now. That also doesn't look like a highway and autopilot isn't designed to handle that yet.
There’s plenty of food bearing trees that would live that long. Olive, chestnut and monkey puzzle come to mind. Plant a food forest for your ancestors

This may seem stupid but couldn’t you just reverse the stuck pods back to the station the departed from?
This is exactly why I signed up for a CSA ( know your farmer ) and planted a food forest in my back yard. I know exactly what went into it.
Re:What Does It Mean to Die? on Thursday February 01, 2018 @03:45PM (#16285700)
I don’t know if it was so much of a race issue as a terrible hospital issue. My brother had lung surgery at a local hospital in NJ and when he needed it again we went to UPenn. UPenn laughed and said those local guys were medieval butchers. I don’t know much about Oakland hospitals but I can see this happening if they weren’t a great hospital.
