Cool, they probably changed it, this was years ago. I've had similar issues with other companies, REI is just the only one I can I really recall right now.

I've had some reject my e-mail address because it contains their company name. REI was one (ie it wouldn't allow rei@domain.com but would accept reicoop@domain.com)

You can proxy responses with a ton of e-mail clients, even Gmail supports it once you verify you can get a message sent to that address.

That fact here was if Musk should have known about the potential breach of charitable trust before 2021 given it started in 2019, if not before, with Microsoft investment and he di…

Much of those billions of dollars are contractually limited in how they can use both the principal and gains so it's really not that simple.

I think so. Stuff like USDA Prime meats are substantially cheaper and same quality as anywhere else. I smoke a lot of meats though. Organic produce is super cheap. Especially stuff…

I hate going there and mostly use Instacart to avoid having to, but even with a Instacart mark-up and tip it's cheaper and higher quality than most other options, happy to pay some…

So if you build a decent sized data center to consume 160 MWh you can get 2 SMRs and call it a day. Or you can buy 480 Tesla MegaPacks (about 6 acres) and 1600 acres (it's roughly …

Did you mean rhodium?

tsx was a MIT server that hosted minix, Linux, etc. It wasn't a distribution per se.

It's the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule, you can thank the Supreme Court.

Or make it available on DVD. I know this was the incentive behind a lot of the people financially supporting the warez scene in the past.

You forgot play the peering game which can lead to substantially cheaper bandwidth when you connect to enough Tier1/2 ISPs. I think Hetzner does this some as well.

I would assume the MSP is running a dedicated instance and can do a full/backup restore just for the user they're supporting. If it's some multi-tenant solution it's no better.
