Should probably clarify the location of ‘here’

Same exact boat. Logical replication is nicer than our 'in place' upgrades we did before, but still leaves lots of other issues.

We are constantly making changes to our schemas (adding tables, columns, etc). Its never an issue on physical standby's, it just gets created, but logical replication, we have to manually run the changes on the subscriber.

We have lots of instances where we create a new table for a feature coming, and alter another to add a column.

If those get missed on the logical subscriber, you don't even know until someone tries to write data to that new table or new column.

I know logical is supposed to be flexible, but I wish there was a setting to have a replica via logical, so I can handle upgrades easier.

There are literal mansions on dozens of acres (with landscaping, ponds, etc) 3 miles from me that have a lower property tax than my 2000sq foot suburban home. They were purchased by a trust in the 80s or early 90's, and now the kids (or grandkids) live in it. My state limits how much property tax can be raised on a home until its sold, and then that number resets.

It drives me a bit crazy..

My local hospital gets a deal from the local power company that they kick on their generators at peak demand times, and the power company pays them handsomely for it. The hospital gets to test their Emergency power works as expected, and the power company reduces their load by a few Megawatts for a few hours.

Wait till the capitalists all get replaced with a tuned AI, then imagine the profits!

My 2015 vehicle has remote start on the remote. Its very handy in cold and hot extremes to start a few min early, and then let it warm up or cool down.

My 2020 Subary only does remote start if you pay the monthly fee for their access (confusingly called Starlink), and requires the 'subaru app'

I hate it.

The opposite is also true, Oregon spent millions ($130k per month) for a phone number to help people with addictions. It has so little calls it come to about $10k per call. It’s kind of like how some startups can spend too much time optimizing instead of growing.

yes, with the increased latency of having to travel to the NAT64 server first. This can also cause you to not use the nearest CDN, etc.

I just signed up to see what they have on me.

I love that they have ALL my personal info, but I can't create an account with a password longer than 16 characters.. Why the heck are they not storing the hash?

Great security.

Marion County, Oregon..

Medical waste is 'biohazard' waste (think blood, guts, needles, etc) So they can't just throw most of that in a landfill, it has to get burned. They charge a premium partly because they can, and partly because most of that is from outside our county.

My county has one that does 90% of our garbage, and its not an easy problem. The key part is scrubbing the smoke to get rid of the polutants, and then cleaning the ash to also get rid of things like mercury.

The only way they can seem to make a buck is to charge high rates to dispose of 'medical waste' that helps with costs.

They would still put you in jail. But when you steal billions, you get to pay a $200M fine, with no admission of wrongdoing….

Crane, OR is I think the only public high school that boards its students in dorms during the week. Its geographic area is 7700sq miles. (The size of Massachusetts) It has 50-60 students.

Right, its not like you have a public identitifier (your email address) with a secret (your password or even MFA)...

Could you imagine if we just treated knowing your email as being proof it was you in financial deals?

or, we could stop using the SS number that you are required to give to people like employers as a de-facto national ID, and credit ID, and also a secret that just knowing seems to authenticate you.

These guys in the US make a 500kwh version, that can run at 75kw of discharge power across 3 phases, and its a single shipping container: https://essinc.com/energy-warehouse/

It doesn't seem like it would take up that much space to have 200 shipping containers sitting somewhere, i'm pretty sure the Home Depot distrubution center in our town already is close to that in their parking lot (yes, you would want them not on wheels, and farther apart)

those one click to unsubscribe buttons are broken in most I try, because my ad-blockers won't let me go to the marketing page.. Why Can't I reply back to the email to unsubscribe? pretty much anyone that sends me marketing texts allows me to reply back STOP to unsubscribe.. why Do I have to use a different tool/channel for email?

TLDR: The tennants are mostly still paying their Monthly leases, and the rates are often higher than what a small company, or a company that wants to partially use that space would pay.

My old University has been powered by Geothermal for 11 years now, and they produce quite a bit more than they need, so they sell excess to the hospital next door.

There are other geothermal wells on campus (not as deep or hot) just for hot water, that are used to flow in pipes directly under large staircases (campus is built on a hill) and sidewalks to keep them clear in winter, and are also used with large heat pumps to heat and cool all buildings on campus. Those have been used since the 60's..

In most clustered systems, you need at least 3 observers, so that its a clear majority of systems can decide that the observer is not working as expected.

So I guess 5 security OPS teams in different regions of the world, and they can all call a vote if one of the teams is now 'bad' :)

Spent nuclear fuel in most older reactors retains more than 90% of its potential energy.

They key to tools like crowdstrike is not so much protection, and being able to trace an attack through the infrastructure. They can see that your credentials were comprimised on your machine, and which systems you then connected to (or that bad process did) so they can trace the attack and make sure get it all cleaned up.

Lambeau Field in Green Bay heats the ground under their grass so it stays green for winter games, even in subzero temps, and has a giant system of grow lights: https://youtu.be/o16kO3uJNJo?si=v9l-QSVPAJrsdqDq

> and unable to drink, so certainly terribly thirsty the whole time.

I know people that work in hospice, and they say this is a big misconception (the article hints at it too). they patients don't die from lack of water, they don't want water because they are dying, and their body can't process it. In fact, as you kind of touched on at the start, giving them IV fluids can cause them to drown since their body can't process the water.

Death is pretty ugly thing, that comes for us all. I got to learn the fun way that in the state of Oregon, it is illegal to disable a pacemaker. Even when the person has a DNR, and it is really the only thing keeping them alive. The best the doctors can do is turn the pacemaker down as low as possible, and hope its not enough to keep the person artificially alive. Which seems kind of really weird, when its also the first and one of the only states that allows medically assisted suicide..

But this fraud is huge, so you can be all but certain this will go on for years, and then a fine of 5% or less of what they took, and no admission of wrongdoing…,

I know a public defender (in family law, so adoption, foster care, child endagerment, etc).

The state pays her $75/h. Most people locally look at that dollar number and feel she is out of touch to complain, but she also has to:

1. have an office that is not her home that can recieve certified mail (and be signed for, no po boxes)

2. pay any staff out of that.

3. Maintain her own computers, and software and access to services needed

4. Hire her own PI's (if needed) out of her own pocket

5. Any other expert consultants out of her own pocket

She also doesn't get any health insurance, or other benefits. And the best part, is the state has a formula they don't disclose, that determines how many hours work they think each case is appropriate for, and don't care how many she actually works. Every time she is paid, it includes a paper only invoice that she then gets to reconcile manually to see which cases are paid off, which are only partially, and which they forgot to pay that month.

AMD did go after intels server CPUs in the 2000s, with quite a bit of success.

This article is about the federal forests, not the state ones.

Last closed issue was march, many initial issues mentioning security vulnerabilities since April that have not been responded to..
