Yes, it is. See pg 18 here: https://research.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/Trends%20Report%... Actual tuition and fees paid have dropped in real dollars over the last 20 years. Nameplate tuition is meaningless as t

These generally aren't refurbed drives, they are used drives that sat in a datacenter for 3-5 years.

These are useful data points, but I've found that at my risk tolerance level, I get a lot more TB/$ buying refurbished drives. Amazon has a couple of sellers that specialize in server pulls from datacenters, even after 3 years of

This. I think because NACS is becoming the standard is exactly why they don't want to invest in EV Charging. When Superchargers were Tesla-only, they were a way to promote and market Tesla cars. Now that every car will be able to use

Yeah, this article is triggered by the "release" of the multi-page atlas, although there's no obvious way to purchase it. The JPG of the single plate has not been updated since the 2022 release; the pre-print remains the onl

You also can take a lot of it out of the manual config by creating an input_select with various options to track the operational state of the dryer (Off, Drying, Finished), then use traditional automations to trigger switches between opstat

Generally yes, because the liability for injury would be on you, as the trampoline owner. Compare the probability of a guest breaking their leg when visiting your home vs if you have an unsafe trampoline. Insurers are prepared for the sma

Interesting. I never use DHCP pools / random allocation on server networks; everything there is static assignment on the host, or static DHCP with whitelisted MAC.

This is an interesting attack surface. Can you extend the risk out a bit? Assume that you have a vulnerable supermicro IPMI now exposed on a public interface. It has no IP address, and is presumably issuing DHCP DISCOVERs in an effort to

From what I've gathered, the community has largely given up on trying to get at the raw data through Libre and Dexcom. That's not going to work in the long run, as Dexcom or Libre could cut it off at any time. The smarter soluti

This is interesting, but is there a reason that you didn't explore the open source software in this space (Nightscout, xDrip, etc.)? These aren't new problems, and lots of people have solved them already with much more feature-fu

As I understand it, the challenge in building is in adapting the plan to site specifics, or adapting the site to the plan. In China and other top-down planning regimes, they will adapt the site to the plan. If the station or school plan r

In my experience, all modern operating systems and widely-used databases handle power interruption well. I can't recall an time where a filesystem or database was corrupted by power loss in decades. Adding a monitoring/shutdown

Your analysis is spot on. My main question is how viable is it to get off the grid entirely? I think that the number of people who will actually go off-grid and take the risk of outage is really small. The cost of going off-grid is a lot

Yeah, super-ugh. Every 2FA vendor wants to lock you in. I was able to export secrets from GAuthenticator on a rooted phone with sqlite, it looks like that is still possible on Authy too. Another vote for rooting your phone.

Another factor is topography. Ohio is pretty flat and running power lines around it is not that hard. California is big and has lots of rugged terrain. It costs a lot more to bring power to the small town in the California mountains, and

University of Chicago did have an excellent spirit of nerdiness throughout the 80s-90s. Don't know how well its retained it through the recent changes and rankings improvement they've gone through, but I hope so.

Honestly, all upgrades and additional functions in a fridge/freezer are fundamentally flawed. Large partitioned box that gets cold, compressor system to make that so, some seals and a defrost circuit. That's all a fridge should
