One thing I noticed when reading on diy hrvs in the past, is that many porjects are not taking into account air volume in the two ducts, and the amount of nominal flow for the size ducts compared to the ideal amount of air exchange. A 5 inc

Except you usually have a very dry environment when heating due to the lack of moisture in the colder environmental air, and need to add moisture to avoid falling out of healthy humidity levels for human beings.

That is completely outside all my expectations prior to reading it. The consequences are potentially life and death, or incarceration, etc, and yet they did nothing until called out and basically forced to act. A good reminder that the bug

It would be neat if your code editor could easily highlight the code newer than the comment(s) and tests based on your git history (without jumping out of your work, of course). Even something as simple as "highlight all code newer tha

Maybe I am missing something here. But google is a well-known pull-the-rug-from-under-you type company, with a long proven track record of doing just that. Don't use undocumented, not officially supported anything from them. ever. Don&

Not always. I used taxAct last year to file, as I always do. I paid what I was told I owe by the software. I just received a tax refund in the mail. Just a check with a memo reading "tax refund", no explanation. Further, that woul

I agree, and think the article writer agrees, it was mainly their fault (after the actual fraudster of course). I still genuinely don't understand why such a basic thing as ip restriction is not part of the security settings in stripe.

That is insane. The CC issuers should force them to do that.

How do you use captchas when the requests are not even coming from your site as the article indicated? It seems odd this is even possible, does stripe not allow you to register an ip whitelist for token generation etc so that at least part

However, that requires doing an extra lookup for every write on the most active / real time table. It would be better to add an optional product_id to the account table, which then allows to have different rates for different products

That would always wind up bankrupting at least some poor soul caught unawares. I would only support that if there were clear warnings delivered to the specific user in question beforehand (not a blanket notice to everyone that they might, b

Right, but I offered you a counter-example in the Gemini PDA, and an indication that there was generally no effort - or positive resistance - to deal with anything google related at all.

I don't buy that at all. That is an awesome program that I did not know about. However, they also support Gemini PDA, which is only one of Planet computers devices. And Pixels are well-known to be the among easiest to flash devices out

I could get by with only using banking websites in the browser. But Why does Jolla not yet support any Pixel phones? I have wanted to try it out for years, but not to the point of trying to make things work on my own.

Why is it 'just bad'? I have installed Linux (either Debian or Ubuntu) for several non-tech-savvy family members, and they have used them for years without incident. I once talked to my mom about Linux and she mentioned that her W

Frankly, and I know this might be an unpopular opinion, it should be illegal. Communications are extremely important building blocks of our society, and people should not be forced into acquiring their devices from their service provider. A

10x less spent fits my criteria. I have never used google ads because they don't matter for my niche, but that makes sense. My next project might need to go that route, so starting my research now. I would much, much rather find anothe

At least number of requests + number of open unverified and unexpired requests. So you need to guess average length of time to verify and the abandon rate. It also seems like there is also a buffer period when the numbers are registered and
