• Trump asks China to buy more U.S. soybeans

• Analysts say quadrupling soybean orders is 'highly unlikely'

Aug 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged China to quadruple its soybean purchases ahead of a key tariff truce deadline, sending Chicago soybean prices higher, though analysts were quick to question the feasibility of any such deal.

In a late night post on Truth Social, Trump said China was worried about a shortage of soybeans and he hoped it would quickly quadruple its soybean orders from the U.S.

I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

The dead man was 32-year-old Chaofeng Ge, originally from China. He was living in New York City last year when he was arrested in Pennsylvania for trying to use credit card numbers that did not belong to him to buy gift cards at a CVS Pharmacy. According to an ICE statement released late Wednesday after The Intercept’s inquiry, he pleaded guilty and was handed over to ICE by local authorities.

Ge had been detained at the Moshannon detention facility, which is run by the private prison firm GEO Group, for five days before taking his own life. (GEO Group spokesperson Christopher Ferreira referred questions to ICE.)

Hi there,

I went through the documentation of GoToSocial and there are some pieces of information which confuse me. For example on the Deployment considerations, they state, that once you hosted a particular Fediverse service on your domain, you cannot switch to another technology. Further down in this article in the "Domain name" section it even gives me the impression that if you switch technologies on the same domain, this will in fact cause issues in the whole Fediverse.

Two questions came up when reading through this:

• Is the ActivityPub protocol and the technologies that depend on it that fragile? Switching technologies on the same Domain would be something I would have just done without a further thought until I find the technology I want to use for years (and which I might still switch out to another one many years in the future).
• It is not clear from the documentation if you can get around this by hosting the service I want to try under service1.example.com instead of example.com. The documentation states, that you can host your users under user@service1.example.com, but the API services still under example.com. This will not solve the root issue, right?

Getting a new domain for each Activitypub service I might try to implement and test / use does not really sound great to me. Maybe I just did not understand all of that properly and there is no issue?

Give a problem you'd like solved and if you have experience with something, share what you know is a sure path to failure

Edit: please reserve top level comments for the problems and reply for the Inverted Thinking failure paths below the top level problems so its easier to navigate the responses

The latest round of aerial attacks on Ukraine has left six dead and 19 wounded.

Russia targeted the regions of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson in the east of Ukraine where the invaders have gained a strong foothold in the country.

The attacks on Zaporizhzhia hit residential areas, a bus station and a clinic, with this man saying his family were close to being killed.

[...]

The strikes come just days before what could be a pivotal diplomatic moment: a meeting between United State President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the U-S state of Alaska this Friday [15 Aug]
