As the service provider, you should be able to simply delete the data the moment it's resources are no longer being paid for.

It's also reasonable logic to hold any property hostage that has an outstanding dept associated with it. That's just a lein and is a common legal process. This is different from simply "account is no longer active"

So, it's not so cut and dried and obvious. Like a lot of things, if it's obvious and simple it's probably also incorrect or at least incomplete.

I'd say they should be either deleting the data OR allow export of the data as of the last time the account was current if they retained it, not retaining it and then holding it hostage. That is essentially using someone else's property for your own purposes.

In this state it's a form of threat that I'm not sure would pass a good thorough legal exam8nation.

Consider, they are holding something of yours which places you at risk where they might get hacked and leak your passwords, or they might even sell them to someone else who you never approved of, all while you are no longer consenting to their posession of this material. The entire company, meaning all assets, meaning your data, being sold to someone else absolutely qualifies, and has even already happened. That threat is at least a little bit like a gangsters protection payment then a legit lein.

I think this means that really the law of the land should be that they are obligated to delete anything that isn't current (covered by an active account or contract), with only some well defined and not-forever grace period to cover mishaps.
AdGuard allows 'approved ads', which for some of us is a dealbreaker.
Residential solar installation in the US has become infested with scummy business practices. It's nearly on the level of traveling roofing companies. I don't think you're out of line. Get a couple of quotes and you'll see a huge spread for the same quality of components, installed.
Only with Kanji. Many share the same meaning, and onyomi reading often sounds a little bit like modern mandarin, but the kunyomi readings are exclusively Japanese and you'll have to memorize those separately (Wanikani was helpful for me in this).

For grammar you are out of luck. Japanese is a much more grammar heavy language than Chinese, typically much more complex.
I know that.

I've said something similar (only regarding operating systems, and approaches to security) elsewhere today:

Changing "too much" doesn't seem to be an option, so we're stuck with the stuff invented many many decades ago, and likely never will be able to overcome those local "optima" of the past—just because the market won't accept any disruptive changes any more by now.

And sure: It's always the software… (As said also in the long reply to the sibling comment).
Personally I don't find PV panels ugly and I bet that the biodiversity under the panels is a larger that on endless monocultures.
There’re lots of variables, like tour internet speed, your hardware, etc.. OpenWrt is great at managing bufferbloat, and a router + AP is not a +1 point of failure, if you consider that I can switch or turn off the AP but I can leave the home internet online.

Anyway I leave alone but With a VPN you can manage your home LAN from everywhere. I’ve done a similar setup for my parents, when they call me saying “we don’t have internet” I can simply check what’s going on, I wrote a post here: http://giuliomagnifico.blog/networking/2022/07/21/setting-up...
Most good contractors have steady work, because they are known to be good. They turn down many jobs that are either too small or have too small a budget. The contractors who are available are either new and unproven, or the bad ones.

It's like software development. Good developers are well paid and work on large, interesting projects. Bad developers are doing piecework small jobs for lower pay.
Thank you! It's still early for Flightcontrol and we have so much to improve. But we already have a non-trivial amount of production customers (including some very high traffic sites) and solid monthly growth.

We're planning to switch pricing to tiers. Psychologically 30% sounds like a lot, although the end price is quite low. For example we have a site with close to 10 million requests per month with heavy server compute. Their cost is about AWS $300/mo and Flightcontrol $90/month.
The short version: just be rich
Is that still $350k minimum?
Does that clear out go.sum too? I thought it only affected go.mod ...
I think not everything needs a venture-backed, take-over-the-world solution.

For the issues being raised here (home ownership is inaccessible to many, renters don't have stability, security), aside from greater protections for renters, another class of existing solution is Community Land Trusts. These organizations retain ownership of the land, have a charter that's targeted at keeping housing affordable (or some related mission), lease out land on very long terms (like 99 years) with contracts that place limitations on resale of any improvements on the land. These restrictions can make housing permanently affordable, and removes housing on that land from being an asset for speculation. Residents get security from the very long terms of their loans, the governance of their CLT, and ownership of improvements on the land. The CLT can use revenue to create and maintain community amenities.

Sometimes good arrangements already exist, but they're not going to be rapidly scaled up across the country because no investor stands to get a windfall from rapid expansion.
Ah that takes me back. Also see Everaldo's Crystal icons.
The gibberish name ones may be targeting backscatter. They might have a reply-to with the address they're really targeting.

And that may have dropped off because there was a concerted effort to make it harder to do that around then. In particular, that's kind of what killed qmail as an in-vogue MTA, because it wasn't being updated and you had to use awkward patches to stop backscatter.
What do you mean? They're contractors, they can die and Google won't bat an eye

If someone is telling you something, which you have no way to verify, it's obscene to cherry pick a piece of information to believe, use that to make your point and then call out the other piece as an unverified claim because it would completely destroy the point.
Its common practice for larger devices as well. E.G. construction equipment will often have an inexpensive rubber coupling between the very expensive 250 HP diesel motor and the hydraulic pump or air compressor that provide useful working fluids to the tools.

Sometimes they can be a right bastard to replace, but its still cheaper and much quicker than replacing a blown hydraulic pump and flushing the system to ensure no filings escaped the filters.
That’s where the profit is budgeted
"If x, then y" is one implication, so that's first-order reasoning.

"If y, then z" is second-order reasoning.
This!

People like the person you responded to seem to think nuclear power plants are producing tons of high level waste per day.

Fact is most of the used fuel for the operating reactors are safely stored ON SITE because there is actually very little "radioactive waste".

If not for NIMBY disposing the waste would be fairly straightforward. were i live (canada) we have the "canadian shield" which contains rocks as old as 4 billion years.

If we stored super-scary-plutonium there it would remain sealed long enough that all the plutonium would safely decay away.

But the NIMBY state - "it isn't stable, it isn't safe, how do you now it will remain stable". Where exactly is all that rock going? why would it suddenly do this when it has remained in place for a few billion years so far?
You're completely right. SQL query hacking can be ridiculous for example. Still, it's a lot better than the alternative.
Some pepper varieties get 3x yield in partial shade.
Truth can be brutal. Sometimes taking it head on shows wisdom.
> I like having kanji etymology explained

Then I recommend this dictionary, which has an edition focused on kanji too: https://www.outlier-linguistics.com/ The team who build that knows what it talks about, and it contains real etymologies, not fake ones based on the current graphical shapes of characters.

You learn something new everyday I guess.

I always thought it was intentionally derogatory in order to make the listener really think hard about what they’re outputting.

I.e. what you’re making is bad. It’s going to be bad. Force yourself to use it until you understand why it’s so bad, so that it’ll be as not bad as it can possibly be for the people you’re offering it to.
The developer of Headscale, Juan Font, mentioned that Tailscale also reached out to them when they tried to implement a new version of their control protocol. They also gave Juan some docs on the design to help with implementation on the Headscale side. It was posted to HN[1], but didn't seem to gain much traction.

Been working part time for the past year (volunteering with the rest).

It's a difficult mindset to get into coming from full time. And I struggle to speak with people who are adamant that they need full time commitment to accomplish anything. But, those are the types of people I don't want to work with.

Although I have now built a decent client base, it was a huge challenge at the start to find remote, freelance and part time software contracts. It was usually a case of finding full time ones and convincing them that I could do part time.

It has been hugely rewarding and I find myself thinking about work a lot less outside of work because it's no longer the biggest chunk of my week (or doesn't feel like it).

This sounds nice, but if the man filled 2500 sq feet with books and magazines and didn't read them, it sounds a bit more like an episode of Hoarders and it's certainly not healthy.
The health insurance google’s TVCs have access to is so much worse than what FTEs get that it’s hardly worth mentioning.

Knowing Chinese Kanji gives a lot of insight into Japanese Kanji, which is borrowed from Chinese. Some of the meanings are exactly the same
Power outages are frequent enough that I invested in a 100AH battery and inverter to keep things going - the local fiber loop remains online as the local POP has batteries so I only need to power the ONT.

My house is brick/mortar so I need 2 AP's to cover the entire house - the AP is one kids bedroom - she insisted a wired LAN connection for her PS5 (online gaming and ping/lag) so I needed to power both a small switch and the AP - got a 12V battery system for that.
Similar with my install. Also consider the big tax benefit. Everyone pushes their prices up marketing the tax rebate. Plus we had issues and our whole inverter and battery system was replaced under warranty.
On the question of this being stupid or not, I think that a sentence saying "Ground-based solar is land-intensive, however, with utility-scale arrays often spanning hundreds of acres. Wind farms have their own sprawling land needs" that links to a source that says:

> Solar energy is one example where the context and type of material matter a lot. Solar panels made from cadmium use less energy and materials than silicon panels, and therefore use less land per unit. It also matters a lot whether you mount these panels on rooftops or on the ground. Rooftop solar obviously needs much less additional land; we’re just using space that is already occupied, on top of existing buildings. However, they do need some land over their life-cycle because they still require mining of the materials to make them, as well as the energy (mostly electricity) used in refining the silicon. Finally, the density and spacing of the panels also makes a difference.

> Wind is the most obvious electricity source that we should consider differently when it comes to land use. You find it separated from the other sources, at the bottom of the chart.3 There are several reasons for this. First, offshore wind takes up space, but it’s marine, not land area. Second, onshore wind is different from other electricity sources because you can use the land between turbines for other activities, such as farming. This is not the case for a coal, gas or nuclear plant. This means the land use of wind farms is highly variable. I have calculated the land use of 22 of the world’s largest wind farms [you find my calculations here].

> Take the Roscoe Wind Farm in Texas, which uses 184 m2 per MWh. This is a large project, where farmers can generate additional income through electricity production while they continue their farming operations between the wind turbines. The wind farm is almost a secondary land use. This contrasts with much more dense wind farms, such as Fântânele-Cogealac in Romania, or the Tehachapi Pass in California, where energy production is the primary land use. These can have a small land footprint of just 8 m2 per MWh.

Seems pretty stupid to me. Though if someone get sucked in by the headline, reads the article and moves from thinking "we don't have enough room for renewables" to "there are lots of ways to dual use land with renewables" then maybe it's all for the best.
> Rust gets this almost right. Python gets this very wrong.

Having worked in both, I'd say they both chose ideomatic solutions:

Rust: I can't prove this is utf-8, so if you want to use it as utf-8 you'll need to tell me what to do if it isn't.

Python: if you're in the common situation where everything is utf-8 and you want to just work with strings, go do the simple thing. Or you can be explicit about wanting to work with bytes, and that's good too.

(Though I think Python should throw an error instead of silently omitting non-utf8 files.)
It sounds to me like you failed to renew your domain on time, and missed the grace period. Redemption grace period is not a fine, it’s a normal period of the lifecycle of a domain name during which they (the registry, via the registrar) give you a last chance to get your domain back. This is well documented and part of the conditions you accept and need to understand when you rent a domain.

You said you had another payment mean, but they’re likely not allowed to use it without your approval. If you missed the email requests for approval, they couldn’t renew and you legitimately lost your domain.

The annual contact accuracy check (WDRP) usually doesn’t result in deletion but suspension, so something sounds fishy here. Maybe it came at the same time as the renewal (which makes sense) but I’m pretty sure it’s not the direct reason for deletion of your domain.

However the above is true only for gTLDs, not for ccTLDs. What’s the TLD of your domain?
Key fact missing from headline: This was a relatively well-off white woman. Happens all the time to poor black Americans, and they don't make the news, or have the means to sue, if they even get their freedom. It's only national news because of her socioeconomic status.
I have seen many of his talks. that statement about west of i95 being toast is not incorrect. He made a very obvious point of the fact the energy released by this quake will be nearly 3 orders of magnitude greater than a 7. Coastline drops 30' and shifts 50'. 250 miles inland everything will move a foot still. do you have any idea how much fire, flooding, and death there will be?
I'm a bit confused by the "re"-hiragana example in the screenshot on the website. It says "れ" is pronounced like the "re" in "red" or "ferret". This probably depends on which English dialect one speaks, because when I pronounce them, the "re" in "red" or "ferret" sound nothing alike, and neither of them sound like Japanese "れ".
Npm is the main thing I dislike about Node though. I hope compatibility is a feature meant for easing transitions, not something the general user base should be embracing.
I've been told that Australia also doesn't have domestic solar panel industry, which meant that solar panels made in China can be imported without tariff.

Installation cost for HVAC systems in US/Canada is also silly. In Asia, you walk into a department store and pick a system, and then pay 10~15% of the equipment price for installation. In the US, the cost of hardware is only 30% of the total quoted price and you will not get a price breakdown like you do at auto repair shops.
My experience with Milwaukee is that their power tools are better than average, but also much more expensive than average.

I got the impression from the article that they would only be making hand tools in this new factory, not power tools. Those will still be made in China. And like I said, it's not difficult to find US-made hand tools in stores today. So Milwaukee will be competing with the likes of ChannelLock, SK, and Snap-On. (And maybe Craftsman? I don't know where they are made anymore.)
Win32 Is the Only Stable ABI on Linux?
As much as no one wants to admit it, most software engineers (that I know at least) aren't full-time as much as they are on-call. You work when the work comes down the pipeline. Sometimes that means a lot of OT. Sometimes that means you coast for the afternoon. The only important part is that the work gets done as fast as you can manage when it gets to you.

Of course, at a good company, managers should be refining backlogs and assigning work when queues run low but most companies I've been at don't really care about work beyond what is assigned for the iteration. As long as the final shipping deadline remains on track, they're not going to put in the extra refining effort to move that deadline up, particularly if they're not on the critical path.
It’s not bad advice but I’d do it for latency for western clients more than this — I’ve been running in us-east-1 since the 2000s and there’ve been only a handful of times where we had a production outage on a properly-designed application (a network routing issue in 2011 or 2012, and a couple regional S3 or IAM issues). No, those weren’t perfect but during the same time period our professionally-managed data center resources had multiple weeks of complete downtime versus maybe a day cumulatively.
I don't follow, what do you mean? Is there blind ignorance in my comment?

edit: oh you mean you don't understand how something can be a superset of something else without being the same set. So I'm saying there's long term thinking with 2nd order thinking, and there's long term thinking without 2nd order thinking.
Yes! I finished in about 4 years.

After that, I only did Bunpro (I had neglected grammar too much, but did have a good N5 I'd estimate).

After about a year of that I started reading. First book was a slog at the beginning, so much dictionary look up (thanks kindle). But, now I'm happily reading to my heart's content.

That said, I have forgotten some kanji that aren't as common. It's not typically a big issue though because context! (and they're just not common) But I'm planning to go back through Wanikani focusing on what I've forgotten soon.

FWIW they have a docker option for the controller (what I use) and I'm barely aware it runs mongo.
As far as I know you can set up a local UniFi management point using using the latest version of the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus firmware. However you won't be able to use Unifi Protect (the security camera offering) as that still requires a cloud account to set up. But once you have set up the cloud account you can revert back to local-only operation and no video data leaves your LAN.

This sort of thing would make me buy-in to tailscale, honestly.

I have this pattern where i avoid software i can't self host, because while i love paying for my products - i don't want to be cloud trapped. So some software/hardware, say Ubiquiti's suite - i buy and run locally. But sometimes cloud features are nice, so i enable them.

I don't _want_ Cloud, but knowing i'm not trapped makes me far more likely to be a customer. Knowing i can opt-in to cloud, opt back out, etc is great.

In practice i often end up buying Cloud. But i only first bought and continue to pay for services when i know i'm not trapped. The moment they start to make self-hosting a pain, or inhibited - i'm out.
Nuclear weapons tests have political implications outside and inside the US.

It's arguable how much of the NIL is still validating models useful for simulating nuclear weapons vs fundamental research vs energy research. And it’s likely the relative importance of each factor has changed over the programs lifetime.
I've seen it add days of pull request code golfing whenever someone makes some new types, but those people would find other ways to waste time on pure JS projects.
I have wondered this! Not McDonald's specifically, but occasionally I have been out and about and spotted someone and thought, I think that's a celebrity... where have I seen them before? only to realize a moment later they're a cashier at Trader Joe's. There's definitely a similarity between the one-to-many relationships of movie-stars and people who work in customer service positions.
You do have similar folks in rural Oregon or rural Idaho too . Have you been to Klamath Falls, OR ? If you do have to compare you would probably make a direct comparison to say Athens, GA or Research Triangle, NC . IMO this country already has a huge divide between rural and urban populations no matter which state you are in. Educated college towns are the hidden gems for anyone looking to escape 1m dollar Bay Area houses.
The android emulator supports Vulkan 1.1. I wonder if there's a way to use that to run a linux VM with GPU acceleration.
As an employee I would love for this to be true. But I think employers, especially in North America will resist this.

There’s already a worker shortage and with the boomer generation retiring we are going to lose further workers. Don’t see how businesses are going to be ok with employees only working part time. I feel like the transition will happen eventually but it’s going to be similar to wfh transition. Much like we had to have COVID to wfh, we may need another similar event like that for part time to get accepted.
Haven't used deno but I assume the standard `export * as asserts from "https://deno.land/std@0.152.0/testing/asserts.ts";` will work, which is the same effort as a package.json and does not create any identifier conflicts.
