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 be…

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 thing…

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 decid…

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…

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 regist…

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 …

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 …

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 d…

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 w…

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 mista…

Comment #32170114
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 dedi…

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 t…

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…

Comment #31577937
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

Comment #31577677
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…

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

Comment #31577525
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 dom…

Comment #31577176
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 pl…

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 d…

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