Is that alone really a better metric? At least in Europe a lot of people travel during holidays, so there's less risk breaking into city flats because they're empty.

That's the whole point, before they would only need to do it on the fourth day of sickness, now you need to go to a doctor on the first day. More workload for doctors and either sick people coming to the office infecting others, or getting the whole week off immediately.

I have the same sentiments, but I also get a lot of value out of simple things like memory for long-term project planning and task management. I'm willing to commit to one provider right now with the assumption that memories (and now routines) can be ported within a few hours to a new provider (for example Claude Desktop provides a prompt to export memories from other providers). Also the memory being human readable (markdown files) makes me worry less about lock-in.

It complements https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ nicely. As someone not living in the US, I'd find it interesting to at least have some other non-US cities available in the free plan though.

Did anyone see a price mentioned? It would be nice to have a travel router that just plugs into your UniFi network.

Being on the receiving side of that can be very frustrating. Even though users can cancel easily and without any human interaction, they cancel their credit card which then costs us multiple months of revenue in cancellation fees.

Instead of allowing 24 hours, I prefer to agree on a start time with the candidate, schedule the email to go out at that time and expect to receive the reply two hours later. That way everyone has the same amount of time.

Messaging apps like WhatsApp will save to your photo library though (unless disabled).

So any photo sent to you would be scanned. If you someone sent you a bunch of files, that might trigger a manual review, that would most likely flag your account.

I wouldn't expect that immediately deleting them would stop the review process.

Just a warning (I don’t know the specs of that ThinkPad) but just because it’s a physical switch doesn’t mean it actually physically disconnects the device.

jann — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 21:25:49 +0000

I can't answer for cloakandswagger, but GPs comment sounded to me like this blog post is missing something essential because it doesn't talk about security.

This isn't an expensive course on setting up the perfect ES cluster in production.

As someone who is currently planning to set up a substantial ES cluster, I'm very grateful for someone to write up their learnings in such a compact overview.

Isn't that what Apple's "True Tone" is about? (I just know of that one, but probably there's something similar on Android devices)

But in all fairness, if you actually implement that ”best practice” HA infrastructure, you will also be miles ahead of almost all internal IT departments.

It takes fuel (onboard) + oxygen (environment) to create the CO2. I assume that’s where the additional mass comes from.
