Agreed, this is like the lead the horse to water issue. Yes the water exists, no one is really drinking it yet.

I feel in the minority, but took the ad as if it was compressing all those things into the iPad, not “destroying” them. Maybe it’s a glass half full kind of thing.

I've found that some people have great zigbee experiences and terrible z-wave and just as many are the opposite. I chalk it up to individual environments etc. Go with what works best from you.

Fibaro makes a similar device in a smaller form factor as well https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/collections/fibaro/products...

I've done this as well, but I moved to 500kg load cells on the bed legs for reliability. 2 Load cells one on each back leg of the bed. Upside too is I've been able to discern things like, sitting on the edge of the bed to put on s

My feeling would be this does violate the law. The problem is new technology must often go through courts to actually establish the law. So it seems that while the NYPD could decide it’s a no-go, their worse case is to do it, get sued and t

To that point, when I do the picture captcha (Select the crosswalks type question), I always click a square I know is not valid and then de-select it. Adds some "human-ness" to the interaction and I never get a 2nd challenge that

This is actually really messy. It’s unclear to me who is the registrant in this scenario. If blue sky then you don’t own anything and there is no portability. If you are the registrant that’s great but namecheap is going to need contact inf

This is interesting, however the vast majority of registries require connecting from a known ip, using a specific cert chain and in some instances their own ca. Turns out when you don’t follow industry practices in one way you don’t do muc

This is hyperbole. You typically can't sue (and win) against the maker of an item used in a crime just because they manufactured it. There is usually some extenuating circumstance when these cases do prevail. For instance one manufactu

It’s not just those issues. The original Impetus for the jones act was to keep a strong merchant marine for war time, so we subsidise the us merchant fleet so that if we had need during war they would exist. I find this difficult because my

Another vote for bobiverse, absolutely great book.

I have to think that in this case they mean "website" in the historical form as content vs "app-like" meaning like a web application. If you already have a web application and it works well on mobile, what more could the

No-blame culture and no-consequence culture are not the same thing. Just because you don’t get fired doesn’t mean the org should allow someone the capability to make the same mistake, whether that’s access/permissions/change in or

by robalfonso 4y ago
Your org needs to be at either end of a spectrum. Either on-call is mostly quiet, and non-disruptive and truly only there for huge issues that happen seldom. Or you staff up a dedicated 24/7 team. If it's in between you need to p

For me zigbee has been more reliable. I have only had Z-wave devices fail. Regarding batteries I minimise the use of anything with batteries, but I make a point of buying devices that use larger batterieswhen I have to. I have a couple zigb

I was just illustrating the normal circumstance delete is used. But there is no reason a delete can’t be used any time on an active domain. All I can say is read the rfc or take my word for it, I’ve run a registrar.
18.
by robalfonso 4y ago
Pretty much, there have been times I’ve deleted a domain due to compliance/legal type issues. It’s more expedient than waiting for an expiration
19.
by robalfonso 4y ago
It does apply here. A domain does not need to be expired, a delete can be sent any time it’s active. The only prohibition is if the domain has “clientDeleteProhibited” status which the registrar can remove.

You linked the wrong doc. You want domain delete https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5731#section-3.2.2

by robalfonso 4y ago
When a domain expires it’s automatically renewed at the registry in the case of gTLD’s. A registrant then has 30-44 days (depending on the registrar) to “renew” but in fact the domain has already renewed so in what happens is the registrar

by robalfonso 4y ago
The key part of this is “upon request” if you delete their domain beforehand then it gets messy. There is an argument to be made that it shouldn’t have been deleted in the first place. Now as the registrant you have right to redeem the doma
23.
by robalfonso 4y ago
It sounds like the domain was deleted. that is absolutely an action a registrar can take and you would have a pendingDelete status in addition to a redemptionPeriod status on the domain. If I had to guess they kill an account and delete an

As a counterpoint, I had a similar conversation with a report of mine about jQuery. He said it was not necessary and you could just use vanilla js. I said while yes that's true as a dev if I told you I needed you to implement a new pay

Agree, the hubris required to make a similar device (and similar business model) after such a spectacular failure really amazes me.

This is unfortunate, it seems the author is Nigerian and was flagged. Of course conveniently amazon is taking their money. This is the problem with Nigeria (Pop 200mm) and other high risk countries with a reputation for internet fraud. Rath

Because of this, I make a point of having 3 2fa keys. A daily driver, a backup key on a key ring and the final one in a fireproof safe. Like you I would be afraid what would happen if I lacked my key. Companies need to at least clarify “wha

I think this is only notable because it’s apple. There are many options on the market for gps trackers that have live updates. Not as cheap as an AirTag but cheap enough when stealing expensive vehicles.
