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 solving that problem, along with all the ancillary grid benefits.

You're talking about one of the best-reviewed movies in years. https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/8936-one-rave-after-...

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.

My go-to ice cream book is Jeni Britton-Bauer's https://jenis.com/products/jenis-splendid-ice-creams-at-home (which won a James Beard award), and her base for all but a few custard recipes is milk, cream, sugar, starch, and cream cheese. I love eggs, but they are not a required element of top-shelf ice cream.

If you're assuming that the homeopathic stuff is incapable of harming anyone, you're mistaken. https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/08/fda-warns-amazon-to-s...

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 conduct, and to cut off the rapists and terrorists who violated those terms.

"Infrastructure" has the luxury of being value-neutral. Cloudflare wishes that were also true of it, frequently and publicly, to no avail.

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 more expensive program and jumping through some corporate hoops, with your apps subject to deactivation if you abuse it) to install on an unrestricted number of devices theoretically owned by your company, or

* whitelist a pretty low number of specific iOS devices to install arbitrary apps onto — I think that limit is still 100 devices per year, per developer account

This sounds like it removes the whitelisting requirement from the third option. Hope it's enough friction to prevent the worst aspects of sideloading from taking hold.

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.

For good reasons: https://letsencrypt.org/2015/11/09/why-90-days.html

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/2014/07/06/daily-mail-journali...

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://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/bittor...

"[W]hen we ask [ISPs] if we too would qualify for no-fee interconnect if we changed our service to upload as much data as we download—thus filling their upstream networks and nearly doubling our total traffic—there is an uncomfortable silence," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings wrote last month. "That's because the ISP argument isn't sensible. Big ISPs aren't paying money to services like online backup that generate more upstream than downstream traffic. Data direction, in other words, has nothing to do with costs."

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 transport function for which it used to pay transit providers."

In other words, you're describing a situation in which Comcast blackmailed Netflix for access to Comcast's customers as one in which Netflix claims they "should not have to pay for internet traffic". This is detached from reality.

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. The new system pretends that all bits are equally expensive, regardless of whether the system is currently slammed or twiddling its thumbs, which is a profit-maximizing lie.

Gerrymandering probably isn't as dominant a factor as people think: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-09/gerrymandering-didn...

That story is based on 2009 research: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25548144?seq=2

Admitting that gerrymandering isn't the problem puts the solution further out of reach, unfortunately. Generational change is slow and painful.

Unilaterally resetting the scroll direction to the 10.6 standard is insanely presumptuous.

Not to mention the huge-type "Click here for all the detials" typo. Painful.

I'd agree with you that sandbox entitlements offer a path to the future, if their proper name wasn't "Temporary Exception Entitlements":

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Misce...

Assuming that they'll be available indefinitely strikes me as a willful mistake.

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 reason they keep it around.

I'd also dispute your last point that we'll be able to clearly see the effects — despite the continued ability to sell direct (Developer ID looks like a great thing), sandboxing as Apple's chosen to implement it is going to result in fewer apps, not merely worse ones.

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.

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.

The study found at a general level that people with meningioma were more than twice as likely as people without the brain tumor to have had a bitewing X-ray sometime in their life.

Running a story like this using relative percentages, but no absolute values, is absurd and contemptible.

I'm not finding any absolute values for meningioma rates in any other stories about this particular study, but old pal wikipedia says:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meningioma

Many individuals have meningiomas but remain asymptomatic (no symptoms) for their entire life, so the meningiomas are not discovered until after an autopsy. 1-2% of all autopsies reveal meningiomas which were unknown to the individuals during their lifetime, since there were never any symptoms. In the 1970s, tumors causing symptoms were discovered in 2 out of 100,000 people, while tumors discovered without causing symptoms occurred in 5.7 out of 100,000, for a total incidence of 7.7/100,000. With the advent of modern sophisticated imaging systems such as CT scans, the discovery of asymptomatic meningiomas has tripled.

I think I'll worry about something else.

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 as you suggest and walled off advertisers from all but aggregate user detail, it wouldn't have affected this app, or anyone using similar techniques.

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 information is so they can share it with their friends. Why would anyone fill out a demographic profile to be kept under lock and key by Facebook for advertisers?

"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 censoring it, without removing it from the internet. The same principle applies here.

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.
