But that is how deed restrictions are enforced. If you didn't have that mechanism, then they would just not exist upon death, etc.

Thank you for posting this - I couldn't figure out the intent of the initial post without this comment.

I'm there for my kids, and I am consistent. Consistency is something that I felt I never had from my dad, and it's so important to just do what you promise. Kids have good days and bad - they're volatile as they are growing.

I hadn't considered outside council. That's a good idea. The issue with everybody being remote is that our corporate safe is difficult to get into (we are on a two-key system), but an outside entity is worth looking into.

That's an interesting idea, thanks. And I agree- we do not use the root accounts for anything. I'm much more concerned about the bus factor with physical key access.

Yes, you are totally correct. We don't use our root account now, and we keep our our corporate Yubikeys in a safe with a 2-key access lock. The issue is that fewer and fewer people have access to the safe due to geography. I'm wor

What's even more interesting to me is that HEB has a chief medical officer on staff at all times as well.

I disagree. If everybody held the opinion that their actions wouldn't amount to anything, nothing would ever change. Climate change is the single largest event that will occur in our lifetimes, and we all need to help pitch in to stop

On the Reddit post this originated from [0], it says that the motivation from the ex-employee was "help us identifying wifi problems and tracking users in the area around the Managers office". Makes me wonder if it was malicious o

I have really enjoyed reading peoples recommendations on what they have learned and how they have grown, this post on "What has the past 12 months taught you?" is really interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/it

I agree - I know that my organization would see an increase in performance, as 90%+ of our transactions are committed. I am excited to see this in action.

Having been taken for a lot of money by contractors in the past, getting the local DA to issue criminal complaints are near impossible. Recently had a GC on a job fake receipts, fake bank statements, everything you could think of to steal m

A lot of the power that a fridge consumes is related to the defrost of coils. I don't care when my fridge heats up the coils, so that would be an easy load shift for a fridge that would not change the interior temp one bit.

I know that where I live, if the power factor is below .4, the meters can't accurately record the consumption. Kind of rare, but it does happen.

Yeah, you are right. I think what they were trying to say is that the transformers are fed on the high side by one of three phases (as is typical), and that the residential step-down is a split phase 120/240.

I wish it were that easy. I am an ex-foster parent, and the thought of losing my children when I had them as foster children tore me up. It takes months and months of waiting, courts, CPS visits, parent visits; and, all the while, you (the

I think that you forget that most of the people on Orcas are retired, and don't have the same fears that we have regarding snooping of data. My parents retired to Orcas over a decade ago, and all of their neighbors are 60+. Also, their

The one interesting example when I think about domains is Nissan.com. Nissan (the auto manufacturer) was unable to secure nissan.com, but it really hasn't hurt them in terms of searches. Of course, if people go to Nissan.com directly,

Every few months I go back and read this thread to help center me again on expectations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7473787 I have about 10 threads bookmarked, but this one gets the most views over time.

The refresh concurrently materialized views is huge. I am glad that it was introduced since I currently have to use tables with functions to create/drop to get the same functionality.

As a recent Austin subscriber to AT&Ts GigaPower, I opted to let them snoop on my traffic for the discount. I really didn't see the difference in what they were doing versus Google or any other search engine. That, along with the s
