Looks like https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/1197 . Still open as of now, with a potential cause noted in the latest comment.

If you have solar panels or time-of-use electrical rates, you charge the car when power is cheap/free, and spend stored power when the grid costs are high. During a protracted outage, maybe you drive the car to a fast charger.

In the US, V2L limits your ability to output power from the car to about 1500 W. It's not going to power your house as more than a stopgap, even if you do have supplementary house batteries. V2H/V2G justify their complexity by sol

This is the January 2024 ruling allowing Apple to resume imports of Apple Watches to the US with the blood oxygen feature disabled. Hopefully the recent ruling will show up on this site at some point.

If rapists and terrorists used their water or electrical service as a primary means to rape and terrorize, then those infrastructure services would find themselves feeling justified pressure to develop terms of service prohibiting that cond

Previously, each developer had to do one or more of: * use TestFlight for centralized distribution of pre-release apps, through Apple (with some lighter-touch app review involved), or * use enterprise signing (which requires enrolling in a

The article's conflation of things being broken down into their component parts and recycled, vs things being "destroyed", is maddening and tendentious. Try not to fall for it.

Despite appearing the New Zealand Herald, the story comes with a byline from the Daily Mail, which, for a story related to terrorism, reduces its credibility to zero. To pick an example from today: http://tompride.wordpress.com&#

It's not credible to suppose that Comcast's network is built around equal exchange of traffic. The broadband connections they provide are wildly asymmetrical, often by an order of magnitude. And then there's this: http:&#x2F

Your assertion that Netflix "doesn't pay an ISP" is at odds with their description of having previously paid Cogent to carry traffic over long distances. Now, "Netflix is itself shouldering the costs and performing the t

Google Sync was only disabled for free accounts. It's still available for paid accounts.

That's incorrect. The old comcast system took congestion into account. I routinely ran 500-600GB/month offsite backups, but I scheduled them for the middle of the night and midday, and I never got a nastygram for exceeding the cap

1Password and Coda are both sold direct — what do you mean by "it's already happened"? A developer big enough to set up a direct payment channel is likely to see it pay for itself through bulk sales and site licenses even if that's the only

Nobody's specified the browser where CSS3 animations look bad yet. I'm not a web developer, but I use Safari, Chrome, and Firefox to varying degrees, and I don't see single-browser breakage going on.

They've been selling the 3GS continuously since summer 2009. Of course they're still making new ones. Tim Cook wouldn't have his current job if in his old job he'd accidentally booked years of surplus units. See also Anandtech's writeup of

Stephenson really should have been called out in the article on the assertion that every megabyte downloaded has a marginal cost. There's no way to squint at that hard enough to make it true. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/04

Advertising is Facebook's reason for being, but this story is about people over-sharing with other people (mediated through APIs). Advertising appears irrelevant, except insofar as it's Facebook's reason for being. If Facebook did exactly a

For the purposes of advertising, facebook does not need you to disclose relevant information to anyone but facebook. Advertisers need never come anywhere near that information. Facebook's whole lever for motivating people to provide that

"The point" is to make Congress stop yelling at Apple. Forcing developers to jury-rig something other than a system API gives them an out, rhetorically.

This is a wonderful linguistic cul-de-sac you've steered into, but the fact remains that "censor" means "suppress"; it does not mean "eradicate". When the government of China or Acela's internet filtering vendor block a site, they are censo

The fact that you had to employ the modifier "completely" to make your point suggests that the headline's use of the verb "censor" was defensible.
