I won’t repeat my 101xxx,yyyy number but I do wonder if there was rhyme or reason I don’t recall any numbers which weren’t 7xxxx or 10xxxx before the comma What was the comma for (and dot for email of course) - just to break it up? Was it a

What are you using instead? Hard coded IPs? Or have you built your own lookup service? If you have decent TTLs dns doesn’t result in a shitstorm of lookups, nor does it require anything more powerful than a raspberry pi to respond to them

The best gas heat pumps I’ve seen have about 1.8 ratio. Better than a gas boiler, similar to a mid range electric one driven by a gas power plant, but way less than one driven by a grid with a decent amount of renewable (in terms of heat pr

Most companies have run auth for decades, typically via AD, but things like Novell before that.

I just use MTLS, MDM software like intune deploys the certificates. Elsewhere in the org we have openAM which ties into AD and provides an OIDC/SAML integration. Your blanket “don’t do authentication” statement is filled with so many s

A small home generator will be far less efficient than a central gas power plant, even after transmission losses. If you take 1 unit of gas and burn it you get ate 1 unit of heat If you take 1 unit of gas and make electicity in a power plan

Based on the rubbish ads I get on YouTube on my phone I don’t think google are in any place to know what my interest even are. 5 years ago I used to get adverts for things like films which I would often watch the whole way through. Today I

Boston to NY is 215m, it should take at most 90 minutes by modern train, 2 hours by century old lines. York to London is 215m and 2 hours, along a line that’s nearly 200 years old. Paris ti Lyon is 290 miles and takes 2 hours on a 40 year o

Fire a 1GW laser at the moon and you will transfer the best part of a billion joules of energy from the earth to the moon every second.

Houses cost 3.8 times median household earnings in 1973. In 2023 it’s 7.5, and that’s with more households having two incomes. https://www.longtermtrends.net/home-price-median-annual-inco...

The extra income, post childcare. went into housing, as families had a higher income they had more to spend on the house, but the same houses existed. So it meant prices went up. The only winners were those who owned houses before the chang

Most kids are weaned before the end of maternity leave at about 10-12 months so that’s fairly irrelevant.

Hopefully that’s the infant:teacher ratio. 4 teachers per infant seems a little extreme, and means massive underpaid adults!

In theory if you used the power and radiated it to space (via laser, RF, etc) you’d be ok. You could even use also use that energy to put into rotational energy to increase the earths rotational speed

They have a 2% increase in energy use each year for 1000 years, currently 10^12W That would mean we’d be well into the type 1 civilisation about 10^19W a year and we’ll be on the way to a type 2 civilisation.

But we haven’t put anything built to last on the moon - rovers and landing stages are very small and relatively fragile A similar civilisation may have gone to the moon, but thanks to irradiation and micrometeorites over millions of years.

And that’s the problem. It’s not the ID checks, it’s the ability to scale. Check it at the door? Fine. Scan it and keep it forever (perhaps selling it on at a later date)? Not fine. Personal Data has to be treated as a liability, but too mu

But we wouldn’t be able to detect human level lunar activity in a million years time. We can barely detect human activity from 50 years ago when we know exactly where it is. I think we are More likely to spot ancient Geostationary satellite

I strongly suspect that most companies of that size and age do not have a tested run book to recover from bare metal.
