N of 1, etc. etc.

The 152 could have had a 40 year old radio or a crappy antenna. Who knows. As you pointed out - that 152 is subject to a lot less maintenance scrutiny than commercial airliners are.

The other thing that plays in here is that ATC language is very highly standardized. In any specific phase of flight, the pilot will generally know what to expect next from ATC. This allows them to discern instructions (and read them back for verification) even if the signal is weak. In situations like these, ATC may seem completely unintelligible to people not used to ATC language and patterns.

The receivers for LiveATC and the like are frequently somewhat compromised in terms of quality and location. This can cause poor quality reception depending on the location and distance away of the transmitter.

The radios and antennas on both the aircraft and for ATC are not only of much higher quality but are also positioned as perfectly as possible so as to maximize Tx/Rx performance.

All that to say, the pilots and ATC nearly always experience more clear comms than the general public has access to.

For me the key additions are: 1) integration with our org Identity Provider 2) NAT traversal + DERP relay fallback 3) Tailscale’s ACL functionality.

I've experimented with Melatonin extensively. Different doses, different times, brands, etc. It has never caused an effect that I can notice. So - that's not to say it's not doing something, but to assume it has a noticeable effect on everyone is an incorrect assumption.

I’ve been there before, not with Atlassian, but some other similar SaaS companies. One (usually simple) way to suss out these accounts is to search your incoming mail log for emails from this company. By a process of elimination you can usually find the information needed.

This assumes, of course, that you have administrative access to your email system.

I did use it.

You indeed have the right to your opinions. That does not mean that HN must accept and provide a venue for them.

Good luck to you.

FWIW Google Workspace is indeed a subscription - it’s their business-focused offering, whereas Google One is consumer-focused. That said, there’s nothing preventing individuals or families from using Google Workspace - I do, and have for over a decade.

Workspace allows you to use your own domain and provide email/collaboration services for a number of people under the same domain.

Amazon rightly is very careful about closing accounts. This is why you have had a hard time thus far. When you say “invalid email accounts”, what do you mean? Are they perhaps addresses on a domain that you control? If so, it’s a very simple fix. You just re-create those addresses, then go through the “forgot password” process to regain access to those accounts.

If the addresses are on a domain that you do not control, well, that’s a lesson learned for you I think. In this case, you’ll need to continue working with support to explore what can be done.

I think perhaps Hashicorp sees terraform as a loss-leader, at least partially intended to be an on-ramp to their other, much more costly tools like Vault and Nomad.

RYM is an absolute gem. I’ve used it nearly every day since first hearing about it a year ago or so.

When trying to discover new artists, I typically start with one I know and then follow the genre rabbit trail and see where it lands.

I do this with Route53. Create a hosted zone with your subdomain - R53 will populate NS records automatically. Then, go back to your top-level zone and add those NS records for the subdomain.

Perhaps consider a commercial glycol “beer line chiller”. Unlike your chest freezer, these are designed for 100% duty cycle. Combine one with some sort of a heat exchanger in your water bath and you may have some luck.

Or…just get an ice maker.

We are fighting through this at the moment, trying to get equipment to new hires in India. There are plenty of authorized resellers there, but for reasons I don’t understand getting wire transfers to them reliably has been not possible. In theory here’s the ideal workflow. This assumes you have an Apple Business Manager account set up.

1) Get reseller ID from the reseller.

2) Add that reseller ID to your Apple Business Account.

3) Ensure that your Apple Business Account is set to auto-assign systems to your MDM.

4) Provide your Apple Business account ID to the reseller when ordering and instruct them to register the purchase with your account. Have them ship the equipment to your employee.

If all of this happens correctly, the machine will register itself with your MDM upon first connection to Wi-Fi during the initial setup wizard, and will configure itself according to your MDM.
